Rajan Aiyer, Vice President and Managing Director, Trimble, South Asia Region on upcoming budget
We would like the government to provide incentives for digital technology adoption across the work-flow
“There is a wide consensus that the construction sector will lead India’s economic revival in the post-pandemic era. With this background, we look forward to continued support from the government in this year’s Budget with additional allocations to the existing infrastructure schemes and announcement of new infrastructure programmes to accelerate India’s journey towards a $5 Trillion economy.
Finally, we would like the government to provide incentives for digital technology adoption across the work-flow, preferably mandate its use in key projects such highways, airports, ports, rail, and waterways to start with, as this will not only help accelerate the digital transformation of the construction industry but also encourage timely, sustainable and environment-friendly construction.”
