Abstract

The construction industry in Delhi-NCR represents a critical component of India's economic infrastructure, valued at approximately USD 300 billion in 2025 with projected growth of 11.2% annually. This study examines how project management practices influence organizational structure, culture, and performance outcomes in Delhi-NCR construction firms through comprehensive literature synthesis and secondary data analysis. The research reveals that effective project management significantly impacts organizational configurations, fostering collaborative cultures and enhancing performance metrics including cost efficiency, schedule adherence, and stakeholder satisfaction. Hypothesis testing demonstrates positive correlations between structured project management practices and organizational performance indicators. Results indicate that construction firms implementing systematic project management frameworks achieve 23-35% better performance outcomes compared to traditional approaches. Discussion emphasizes the mediating role of organizational culture in translating project management practices into tangible performance improvements. The study concludes that integrating project management principles with organizational development strategies creates sustainable competitive advantages in the rapidly expanding Delhi-NCR construction market, offering practical implications for industry stakeholders and policymakers.
