When we admire a newly completed highway, we often forget the thousands of parts and processes that came together behind the scenes. Supply chain efficiency plays a crucial role in determining the cost, speed, and quality of infrastructure projects.
As India rapidly expands its highway network, innovations in supply chain and logistics are becoming the silent force powering this growth.
Gone are the days of delayed materials and storage issues. With the use of:
GPS-tracked fleets
Centralised command centres
Smart batching plants
project managers can now coordinate cement, aggregates, steel, and machinery delivery with near-perfect accuracy.
Precast elements like culverts, girders, and median blocks are now factory-made and shipped directly to sites. This reduces:
On-site fabrication
Construction time
Labour and waste
Supply chains are also becoming greener. Recycled construction debris is being transported for reuse across multiple sites, aided by reverse logistics networks.
Digital dashboards allow real-time tracking of inventory, machinery, fuel use, and workforce availability, ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget.
