Construction management platform Powerplay has expanded its software-enabled, procurement-linked credit solution to Hyderabad, integrating financing into the daily workflows of builders and contractors as construction activity in the city accelerates.

The expansion comes amid strong growth in Telangana’s construction sector, which recorded nearly 12 per cent growth in 2025 and contributed around Rs 800 billion to the regional economy, according to industry estimates.

The model offers credit limits ranging from Rs 1 million to Rs 5 million with repayment periods of up to 60 days.

Iesh Dixit, Co-founder and CEO, Powerplay, said the integration of financing with project management tools aims to help contractors manage cash flow more efficiently as project scales increase.

Powerplay currently supports over 85,000 projects nationwide, with more than 40,000 contractors and construction companies using the platform for project planning, site execution, procurement and reporting.
