India’s Energy and Process sector is entering a significant growth phase, driven by a strong pipeline of public infrastructure programmes and expanding private sector investment. The EPC market is expected to reach USD 69.28 billion in 2025 and grow to USD 126.91 billion by 2030 (Mordor Intelligence 2025), supported by large-scale capital spending across transportation, power, renewables, hydrocarbons, water and industrial infrastructure.
A major share of this momentum comes from government-led initiatives. The National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) includes more than 13,000 projects worth ₹185 trillion, while the PM Gati Shakti Master Plan is pushing multi-modal connectivity through over 200 priority projects. Parallelly, private sector capex remains strong in renewables, power transmission, data centres, chemicals, industrial clusters, and logistics parks, driven in part by global firms diversifying supply chains and expanding manufacturing operations in India.
For HR leaders, this expansion has direct implications for talent. Organisations are investing in large-scale upskilling to bridge capability gaps and prepare teams for tech-enabled project delivery. Diversity and inclusion are also gaining prominence, with companies creating pathways for women professionals.
As the Energy & Process sector scales up, organisations must strengthen workforce planning, build high-quality engineering talent pipelines, and create operating models that balance on-site expertise with digital competencies.
