Across ≈ 240 workers on 4 sites, ghost and idle attendance alone is worth about ₹9,000 per worker per year.
Separately · working capital

Billing in 7 days instead of 30 releases about ₹1.13 Cr of cash 23 days earlier — worth roughly ₹13.6 L a year at a 12% cost of finance.

Not counted in the figure above — this is cash recovered faster, not leakage stopped.

How this is calculated

Material leakage: 2% of annual billing — recoverable via digital stock & consumption tracking.
Idle & ghost workforce: 4% of workforce cost (workforce ≈ 30% of billing) — recoverable via geo-tagged attendance.
Delayed / missed progress billing: 0.5% of annual billing — recovered through faster, fully-certified progress bills.
Vehicle fuel & maintenance: ₹1.2 L per vehicle per year — recoverable via trip, fuel & maintenance logs.

About these rates. The defaults above are our own planning assumptions for Indian civil contracting — not the output of a study, and not measured at your sites. We publish them openly and let you change every one, because the only version of this number worth acting on is the one built from rates you recognise. Actual recoverable amounts vary with contract type, site controls and execution discipline; treat the result as directional, not as a guarantee of savings.
