The real estate industry in India, ranked second largest in the world, is contributing about 6% of India's GDP expected to touch 7% share in the next five years. The construction industry ranks third among the top 14 sectors directly or indirectly affecting other sectors in the economy. The industry is a huge employment generator in sub-sectors like housing, retail, hospitality, and commercial. The development of this sector is well complemented by the growth of the corporate environment and the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations. This comprehensive growth in the Built Environment sector means burgeoning opportunities for Civil Engineers.
