The robotics sector in India is expanding at a rate never seen before, thanks to a mix of governmental programs, internal demand, and technology developments. The nation uses its domestic advantages to further its worldwide goals as it establishes itself as a centre for robotics and automation.
Increase in Robotics Setups
One of Asia’s robotics marketplaces with the quickest rate of growth is India. In 2023, the robotics installations increased by a whopping 59% nationwide, which was driven largely by the automobile industry and saw an increase of 139%.
The increase shows that India has a dedication to incorporating the cutting-edge technologies into production techniques in order to expand competitiveness as well as productivity.
Crucial Trade Shows and Industry Events
As a result of India’s robotics growth, the country is expected to host a number of significant robotics trade fairs in the year 2025. These robotics trade fairs will offer industry participants a huge platform to present innovative ideas as well as establish various collaborations.
Notably, a few of the experts from manufacturing, robotics, as well as engineering industries will come together at INDOMACH Hyderabad 2025. These fairs will take place from May 23 to 25 at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in order to discuss the advancements in factory equipment and automation systems.
New Robotics Companies in India
In the robotics sector, a number of Indian startups are achieving noteworthy advancements:
Ati Motors:
The Bengaluru-based company specialises in autonomous mobile robots driven by artificial intelligence. In order to grow its business and meet the growing need for domestic production in the United States, India, and Southeast Asia, Ati Motors collected $20 million in a Series B fundraising round in January 2025.
Technologies by Addverb:
A Noida-based company, Addverb, mainly focuses on industrial and warehouse automation solutions. With its subsidiaries in Australia, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United States. The company has grown internationally as it also largely focuses on production facilities in the United States and India.
At LogiMAT India in 2024, Addverb debuted three new products:
- A carousel automation system
- An assisting dog robot
- A user interface made for warehouse operations
Sastra Robotics:
This Kochi-based company creates AI-powered test automation systems. The businesses have grown internationally, establishing operations in the UK and India in addition to its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.
Sastra announced a $8 million investment in 2024 to fund research and development and grow its European operations, and in 2023, it signed a deal to sell 150 robots to a UK public sector department.
ClynLr (Cybernetics Laboratory):
To develop its state-of-the-art robotics solutions, this Indian robotics pioneer obtained $10 million in Series A funding. The investment is to broaden the company’s global reach and improve industrial automation capabilities.
Policies and Initiatives of the Government
Several state governments have implemented regulations to encourage the growth of the robotics industry after seeing its potential.
For instance, in an effort to establish its position as India’s upcoming global services powerhouse, Uttar Pradesh has announced its Global Capability Centres (GCC) Policy.
The goal of this policy is to promote service-sector growth by combining local strengths with global aspirations.
Initiatives in Education
India places a strong emphasis on education as well as training in order to maintain the growth of the robotics industry. IIT Bombay started the e-Yantra project with the goal of enhancing by offering experiential learning opportunities.
The program, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Education, encourages the students to create workable answers to real-world issues by incorporating the e-Yantra Robotics Competition and Innovation Challenge.
Trends in International Marketing
From its 2024 valuation of $26.99 billion, by the year of 2033, the industrial robots market worldwide is expected to reach $235.28 billion with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2%.
However, India has made a substantial contribution to this largest robotics expansion with its growing use of robotics in several industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture.
In Conclusion
With India’s national capabilities and international aspirations coming together, the Robotics sector in the country can be seen at a turning point.
As a result, it can be seen that India is well-positioned to lead the world in automation and robotics because of the country’s smart government policies, creative businesses, and an emphasis on education.
