India needs 50 million houses by the year 2022 and more than 90 smart cities are being planned. In order to achieve such a huge feat in a short span of time, industry experts say that offsite manufacturing and pre-fabricated modular units will play an important role. While such offsite technologies are at a nascent stage in the Indian market, the demand for them is gaining momentum. With developers changing their focus to mass housing, this technology is an ideal solution for affordable homes and mass housing schemes, due to its fast, accurate, efficient and cost-effective process. For an industry that often suffers from mounting debt and limited cash flow, completing projects saves interest costs.
