Despite having such prominence, governments always ignored several key aspect related to the industry like labour issues, taxation, banking, delay in contractual disputes. From 2009 to 2015, the industry had witnessed a steep decline in consumption of steel, cement and construction equipment.
Also citing lack of proper skills, major infrastructural projects in both the states are handed over to foreign companies. For this reason, the construction of Amaravati from the scratch and the proposed 100 smart cities across the nation do not interest the industry biggies.
