Smart Urbanation 2022

The Smart Cities Mission completed seven years on 25th June 2022. Against the commitment of Rs 48,000 crore for 100 cities over five years and a matching equivalent amount to be released by the states, the centre has so far released a total of Rs 28,413.60 crore and 83 per cent of it has been utilised. The city development plans were designed around the budget with the assurance that finance would be available to this extent. And yet, the utilisation has not even crossed 50% of the amount committed and we are not even counting two extra years in which, one can assume, the pandemic took precedence. So with no money constraint the mission has been able to utilise only 49% of the committed amount across 100 cities. Considering that each city has been asked to confer with their citizens and plan an intervention which will improve liveability, workability and sustainability in their respective cities, this seems like a missed opportunity.

Cement Expo 2021

Date : 17 March, 2021

Virtual Event

Cement Expo has been a biannual event organized by Indian Cement Review. It provides a great opportunity to cement producers and machinery suppliers, service providers, users to come on the same platform for the exchange of information. It is a window for the global players to know the local industry well and understand its needs. On the other hand local players expect the international players to partner with the growth story of India. The Exhibition is one step in the direction of supporting ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT and overcoming COVID-19. This year; as we all are aware of the restriction imposed on us by coronavirus, has compelled us to organize the event digitally. Of course the team at our end is well experienced in handling such events online considering our past records of similar events. We are sure Cement expo is a perfect platform to establish new business relationships and partnerships.

Make In Steel

Date: 24 February, 2021

Virtual Conference

Steel is in a sweet spot.

Several steel companies are set to deliver a blockbuster performance in the third quarter of this fiscal as rising steel prices, low input costs and recovering domestic demand drive their margins to multi-year highs

Steel overview:

Globally we use more than 1700 Mt of this steel every year and we recycle and re-use more than 85% at the end of each lifecycle. Closer home, India was the world’s second-largest steel producer with production standing at 111.2 million tonnes (MT) in 2019.The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent nationwide lock down had severely affected demand and production of steel in the country in Q1FY21. The lockdown in the months of April and May had crippled domestic demand and steel players were forced to look at export markets to keep their inventory in-check. The finished steel exports as a percentage of total finished steel production peaked during April-August 2020 to average 21% compared to 8% in the corresponding period of FY20 and 6% during the same period in FY19. However, with the unlocking of the economy from June 2020 onwards, domestic demand staged a strong V-shape recovery and exports declined gradually.

CW Budget 2021

The government is expected to boost spending in the next fiscal year 2021-22. Its efforts in making India self-reliant through Atmanirbhar Bharat will need encouragement. Infrastructure, arguably the mainstay of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, could see a heightened push. However, there are chances that the Centre’s effort may face roadblocks due to the states’ limited capacity to spend. A higher spending in the budget due in February will lay the foundations for even stronger growth in the next four to five years, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had recently said. FM Sitharaman had suggested the government could open purse strings in the months ahead to boost the growth rate. On these grounds, FIRST Construction Council is launching the # CWBudget21. This consists of a series of initiatives including a budget special issue released after the budget, a webinar post budget with experts and a web page that keeps visitors updated. The webinar on 2nd February 2021 will host Industry leaders for an analytical discussion on budget announcements. A dedicated page for Budget 2021 has also been built where articles containing in-depth analysis and videos interviews and interactions with industry stalwarts would be found, all in one place.

Technological advancements towards reduction of emissions in cement plants by Indian Cement Review

The cement industry in India has been growing conscious in its approach towards emission reduction. Cement manufacturers have been implementing new technologies to improve productivity, reduce wastage and emissions that pollute the air. Today, cement plants are being equipped with air pollution control equipment (APCEs) such as electrostatic precipitators (ESP), bag house with glass fibre membrane filters and ESPs modified with bag filters, called hybrid filters.

The current scenario of pollution levels that cement manufacturing contributes to, makes it critical for cement manufacturers to consider adopting ‘technological advancements towards reduction of emissions in cement plants’

Constructible BIM for AEC: The future is connected construction

In real estate, there have been several instances where projects face collaboration issues among stakeholder groups, which require significant rework of the design or construction. Constructible BIM helps improve the construction cycle by increasing accuracy, reducing duplication of work, identifying standard and repetitive components and removing issues before the construction process commences. It connects all stakeholders to focus on data-driven construction. The Government of India has been considering BIM as a vital tool to speed up construction work across the country and achieve its ambitious target of Housing for All. And especially during the pandemic times, when remote working is the preferred approach, the correct adoption of such modern construction technology can greatly aid industry stakeholders.

Cost Optimisation in Construction

Recent reports reveal that as many as 403 infrastructure projects, each worth Rs 150 crore or more, have been hit by cost overruns of over Rs 4.05 lakh crore owing to delays and other reasons. In the case of roads, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that cost of road construction in India must come down without compromising on quality. It has become even more important to achieve the desired speed of construction and quality and at an optimised cost.
