The “Smart Cities Mission”
Launched by the Indian government, the Smart Cities Mission is one of the largest urban development programs worldwide. Its goal is to transform 100 cities into sustainable, connected, and technologically advanced urban ecosystems. This initiative not only affects the final infrastructure but also fundamentally changes construction methods, driven by the widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital tools on-site.
Digitization of the Construction Process
According to KPMG India, the sector is undergoing a structural shift toward Construction Tech. The emphasis is clear: reduce waste, increase efficiency, and enforce transparency. With public tenders under strict scrutiny, digital traceability of construction sites has become critical to prevent unfinished or abandoned projects.
Transparency and Remote Reporting
Digitization is powered by data. IoT sensors, drones, and fixed cameras provide continuous visibility for engineering teams working remotely. An immutable visual record has now become a reputational asset for construction firms.
Professional timelapse systems in India facilitate the creation of a comprehensive digital archive, which serves both operational control and institutional communication toward citizens and public authorities.
Conclusion
India is swiftly adopting Construction 4.0. Companies that can integrate remote monitoring technologies will be the frontrunners in future Smart City tenders.
