This document discusses labor supply chain issues in the Indian construction industry. It notes that the construction sector is projected to grow significantly and employ mostly minimally skilled workers. There are challenges around forced labor, lack of skills training, and exploitation of workers. When using contract labor, factors like recruitment costs, travel costs, and worker turnover must be evaluated between local versus foreign labor. Ensuring proper accommodation, medical care, training, and safety can help retain workers on construction sites. Various labor laws and welfare programs exist in India to protect construction workers.
