India's construction industry is moving away from traditional methods toward low carbon materials, precast techniques, and digital tools, according to experts speaking at World of Concrete India 2026. The shift is driven by a surge in infrastructure and urban development projects that demand faster execution and lower emissions. Developers and manufacturers are adopting these methods to reduce the carbon footprint of new buildings and roads. Key changes include the use of alternative cements, recycled aggregates, and mechanized construction that cuts waste and energy use on site. Digital tools like BIM and project management software are helping teams coordinate more efficiently. While the trend is still early, experts say the combination of regulatory pressure and client demand for green certifications is pushing the sector to modernize faster than expected.
