Synopsis: Infrastructure firms like L&T, KEC, and HCC face a manpower crisis as workers move to the Middle East and Russia for higher wages. The shortage is worsened by extreme weather, relocation issues, and lack of necessary skills.
Infrastructure companies are facing a severe manpower shortage as workers are drawn to the construction booms in the Middle East and Russia, where higher compensation is offered.
Leading infrastructure firms such as Larsen & Toubro (L&T), KEC International, and Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) are experiencing a significant shortage of both skilled and unskilled workers. This issue arises from the migration of workers to Russia and the Middle East, including Israel, due to the attractive wages in these regions' booming construction sectors.
The crisis is further intensified as workers refuse to work in extreme weather conditions or relocate across states for the minimum wages available. Additionally, the lack of necessary skillsets for the jobs is compounding the problem.
