Capacit'e Infraprojects

Capacit'e Infraprojects embarked on its journey in 2012. The company has earned the distinction of being a preferred name in the construction of highrise and super high-rise buildings, townships, commercial and IT/ ITES, institutional and retail across India.

One decision you consider the biggest contributor to the company’s growth in FY2018-19: We kept our focus on acquiring challenging projects that would test our capabilities and competence. We also laid emphasis on diversifying our portfolio and have been successful in acquiring projects like retail malls, healthcare facilities and IT parks. In India, the public sector will be a major driver for the building construction sector in years to come and we have already equipped ourselves to cater to this market.

Plans for the company’s growth in FY2019-20: In India, the existing metro cities can only grow through progressive verticalisation. And, this global trend of verticalisation will strengthen the relevance of Capacit'e’s business model, focus and competence.

To add to this reality, the quantum of urban residential shortage in India is estimated at 18.78 million and is only expected to increase.

There is a healthy growth concurrently coming out of the non-residential structure. It took India 60 years to emerge as a $1 trillion economy, and the country is now expected to emerge as a $5 trillion economy by 2025. With this, we believe that a number of adjacent business opportunities – commercial, retail, logistics and IT sectors – will emerge. This development will make it possible for a specialised player like Capacit'e Infraprojects to enter new segments by leveraging its demonstrated competence
