India's Robotic Revolution: Surging Ahead in Automation

The International Federation of Robotics released its 2025 World Robotics report, revealing significant growth in India's industrial robot market. In 2025, India installed 9,120 industrial robots, marking a 7% increase from the previous year and cementing its position as the sixth-largest installer globally.

Takayuki Ito, IFR President, highlighted that the rapid increase in robot adoption is propelled by India's robust economy and the surging demand in the automotive industry, which saw a 15% increase in robot installations in 2024. Car manufacturers and parts suppliers continue to heavily invest, showcasing the sector's dynamic growth.

With India's operational stock of industrial robots at 52,570 units, the country stands 10th globally, indicating vast potential for expansion. GDP growth projections and the continuation of investment incentives are poised to drive further robotic installations, despite potential contractions in 2026.
