Nagpur’s construction sector is facing increasing pressure as disruptions in the supply of sand continue to affect availability and prices across the city. With sand ghats remaining closed, builders, contractors and developers are reportedly dealing with limited supply and higher procurement costs.

The price of sand is reported to have reached around ₹70,000 for a 1,100 cubic-foot truck, adding a significant financial burden to construction projects. The shortage is also creating challenges for ongoing developments, with builders having to manage increased material expenses and potential delays.

The rising cost of sand comes at a time when construction projects are already dealing with multiple input costs. Continued supply constraints could further increase the overall cost of construction and put additional pressure on developers and contractors in Nagpur.

Key points:
• Sand prices reportedly touch ₹70,000 per truck
• Closure of sand ghats is affecting local supply
• Builders and contractors face higher material costs
• Construction projects may experience delays due to shortages
• Rising sand prices are adding pressure to the construction sector
