“Policy is no longer a footnote in project delivery—it is the foundation.”
India is already moving:
From GPS-enabled graders to 3D machine control systems, AIMC is backed by real-time site monitoring, digital twins, and precision mapping. Intelligent Compaction—soon mandatory—replaces outdated spot tests with continuous data, addressing workmanship issues that cause 79% of premature pavement failures.
- CPWD’s BIM Guidelines (2019) mandate BIM for projects above `100 crore.
- NHAI and Metro Rail Corporations (Delhi, Mumbai, Pune) now embed BIM in tenders.
- Nagpur Metro used 5D BIM; Chennai Metro applied BIM for MEP systems.
- Meanwhile, MoRTH is pioneering Automated and Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC).
