The construction industry plays a crucial role in national development but continues to struggle with inefficiencies, labor dependence, and productivity loss. This research evaluates the role of automation techniques in improving productivity within the Indian construction sector, focusing on Pune and Kolhapur regions. Using both primary (questionnaire survey) and secondary data (case study), the study examines awareness, adoption, benefits, and challenges of automation tools such as BIM, drones, precast components, and automated plastering. A case study of the Godrej Infinity Project, Pune demonstrates practical implementation and measurable outcomes—showing reductions in time, cost, and manual labor. Statistical analyses indicate that automation significantly enhances project quality and efficiency while minimizing wastage and safety risks. However, challenges like high initial cost, limited skilled manpower, and low awareness restrict widespread use. The study concludes that effective integration of automation can transform the Indian construction landscape, provided strategic investment in training, policy support, and financial incentives are implemented.
