India's construction sector is projected to require nearly 160,000 additional project managers by the year 2035. This demand signifies a substantial 67% increase compared to current needs, as indicated by a recent report from the Project Management Institute (PMI).
As India's economy experiences rapid expansion, there is a pressing requirement to bolster construction project management expertise nationwide. This need arises from accelerating investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and urban development, leading to more extensive and intricate projects.
While India possesses a strong foundation of engineering and technical talent, its future growth hinges on professionals capable of leading complex projects from conception to completion. To address this, PMI is organizing a conference in Bengaluru on October 3, 2026, focusing on future-readiness and AI in project management.
