Introduction
As part of our ongoing ‘Zonal Analytics’ series, this 3rd article of 7 shifts focus to the Northeast Zone’s building construction landscape for FY 2023-24. Utilizing Biltrax’s BX-1 platform, we provide an in-depth analysis of building projects in this region. The BX-1 platform encompasses various sectors, such as residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, healthcare, educational institutions, multi-level car parks, entertainment, religious buildings, and various other structures.
During FY 2023-24, the Northeast zone witnessed substantial growth in the education and healthcare sectors, due to their critical impact on improving public welfare and infrastructure. The expansion of institutions catered to the rising demand for education, fostering regional development and human capital enhancement. Simultaneously, new hospital constructions addressed long-standing gaps in medical facilities, particularly in remote areas, enhancing access to quality healthcare.
The last financial year also exhibited a notable increase in hospitality projects in the Northeast region. These projects were driven largely by efforts under the North East Special Infrastructure Development Scheme (NESIDS). This initiative has facilitated the development of tourism-related infrastructure such as hotels, resorts, and guesthouses across various states like Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh. These projects not only improved local amenities but also contributed significantly to socio-economic upliftment across the region.
