Automation Years Ahead In Manufacturing and for use by Builders in Gurgaon

Automation in factories over the past few years may not impact builders in Gurgaon as much as automation will impact manufacturing in assembly lines. It is anticipated that within five years the construction sector in India shall become the third largest in the world, overtaking Japan’s sector to become a one trillion-dollar industry within a three trillion dollar economy. While automation with the use of robots may be gradually creeping up on us, it would be extremely difficult to automate the construction of buildings with the use of robots. flats in Gurgaon shall likely be built employing the same techniques that have been used over the past ten or twenty years. There may be improvements in individual functions as well as in tasks carried out by construction workers; however, the use of robots to erect buildings is certainly many years if not decades in the future.


The need to invest in a well-trained and able workforce is crucial to provide employment to millions of unemployed who are disillusioned by the promises which have been made to them in the past. China truly became a player on the world stage thirty years ago and became a truly global economic power more recently. All progress in China was due to a well-trained workforce and a relatively simple export model which has enabled it to manufacture products more cheaply than any other country since. While in India there is a certain fatalism which makes many of India’s best minds doubt whether such a growth model could ever be put in place in India allowing India to do what China has done over the past thirty years. An unwillingness to truly believe that India could be the workshop of the world is perhaps the greatest hurdle preventing India from becoming the workshop of the world. Certainly, those who live in some of the best luxury apartments in Gurgaon have dozens of gadgets which have been manufactured in China, yet almost none of these individuals would venture forth to create their own production line to produce high-quality goods for export from India. Many well educated and brilliant Indians who own property in Gurgaon miss the writing on the wall, namely, that nearly all the products in their plush homes have been made in china, in doing so they miss a great opportunity.

One of the reasons stated against the viability of India becoming a global manufacturing hub is that the state of the infrastructure in India is abysmal. While China has spent trillions of dollars over the past ten years to create an excellent network of roads and increased its power generation capacity, India still has extremely poor infrastructure in the majority of the country. Cheap and uninterrupted power is possibly one of the biggest hurdles preventing entrepreneurs from taking the plunge to become Industrialists. While India has a large number of startups, such companies are in regions of the country with good infrastructure and such ventures are, even in a few years’ time, highly unlikely to be able to provide the numbers of jobs the country desperately needs for its citizens. Many such startups are examples of “soft development” where the relatively wealthy and well-educated get together to begin a venture to become wealthier and create a brand. What is needed is ‘hard development’ where jobs and opportunities are created for tens of millions in a short period of time. When “hard development’ is engaged and is successful, then affordable apartments in Gurgaon will be within the reach of tens of thousands of Indians within a decade. Such development is more likely to create the kind of growth needed to propel India into the future. While many experts state that much of the work done on assembly lines by human beings is today rapidly evolving to be carried out by robots, Indian workers would still be able to carry out such work at a cost which would be lower than using industrial robots or automation. for more real estate blogs
