The Indian construction sector plays a vital role in economic expansion. it also plays a significant role in generating work for millions of workers. Subcontractors are key factors for guaranteeing timely delivery and high-quality work. However, they go through many difficulties while executing the work which eventually impacts the performance of project. Although subcontractors increase productivity and cost-effectiveness, their operations are interrupted by many factor. This research clearly demonstrates about challenges which creates a high impact on the project; like slow payments, a shortage of workers, quality and safety issues, disagreements over contracts, and a slow uptake of new technology. The combination of surveys, case studies, observations, and a review from the literatures were carefully investigated to identify the root causes of the challenges. Thematic analysis recognizes reoccurring problems, while quantitative analysis (SPSS) ranks important concerns. A comparative evaluation is provided by field data from urban and rural projects. The Results indicate that subcontractor performance is affected by a combinations of labour mismanagement, legal gaps, financial instability, and outdated technology. Project success in India can be improved by addressing these challenges with enhanced contract management techniques, training on industry standards, and digital tools.
