URC Construction: Driving Innovation in Domestic Infrastructure with an Outlook for Sustainability

The Indian construction mar­ket is expected to touch $2.13 trillion by 2030, with a CAGR of 12.1 percent from 2025 to 2030. As the government aims at widespread urbanization across the country, along with several ambitious mobility in­frastructure projects, the initiatives have been boosting remarkable growth in the construction sector. Over the past few years, the rapid inte­gration of the latest technologies into the infra­structure space, such as BIM, IoT, and AI, has also propelled the market growth.

With concurrent technological advancements driving transforma­tion across industries both globally and domesti­cally, more corporate companies are redirecting their operational dynamics towards sustainability. However, the market witnesses great challenges in catering to individual construction needs in terms of sustainability and beyond due to the lack of ef­ficient workforce and timeliness, alongside poor project management.

URC Construction observed such predominant ordeals in the industry and came up with a diversified range of technology-driven construction solutions.

With ethical industrial practice and adaptabil­ity at its core, URC Construction is poised to offer integrated construction solutions that ensure ef­ficient project execution in a timely fashion. URC, founded by U.R. Chinnusamy in 1956, started its operation as a construction company for irrigation systems and later diversified into a comprehen­sive collective for infrastructure solutions.

Over the span of seven decades, URC has extended their expertise to various fields like water construction, urban development, agriculture, healthcare, Data Center, in­dustrial sector among others. The organization aims to fos­ter community development through employee well-being and create a social impact through environmentally respon­sible industrial practice.

Technology Expertise

URC Construction is the classic example of a company that has adopted the latest technology to optimize the business processes related to the construction sector. The company has dedicated software that is able to trace and track all kinds of raw material sources. The prices of raw materials vary from region to region in India and the software is capable of fetching out those prices and provide real-time and accurate data to all concerned parties.

Here, it is worth mentioning that URC’s primary motive to adopt advanced technology is only to become more transparent as a whole. It has the needed technologies to track the progress of every project and keep the client and the consultant in the loop at all times. Integration of technology has positively impacted the factor of timely delivery for the company.

URC Construction is spearheading the redevelopment of Bhubaneswar Railway Station (BBSR), seamlessly integrating the entry and exit terminals with a modern air concourse. The project is being executed with meticulous planning and engineering precision to ensure that construction activities progress smoothly without causing any inconvenience to the public, even as the station continues to serve nearly one lakh passengers each day.

This signifi­cantly adds to the safety and security of workers and quick action is taken in case of any issue.

It is also important to have eco-friendly policies that promote environmental sustainability. Being a company that delivers various kinds of infrastructure projects, URC always keeps ESG on its mind. “We aim at reducing the carbon emissions as much as possible and adhere to globally recognized sustainability policies.

Having delivered many projects out of the country, we have been able to develop a world-class compliance policy over time”, stated Devarajan Chinnusamy, Managing Director, URC Construction.
