Press Release

India Retrofit Emission Control Device Market is Expected to Register a 5.57% CAGR Through 2031

Stringent Environmental Regulations & Policies and Rising Air Pollution Levels & Public Health Concerns are likely to propel the market during the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Retrofit Emission Control Device Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, India Retrofit Emission Control Device Market was valued at USD 2.13 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 2.98 Billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.57% during the forecast period.

A significant and growing trend in the India retrofit emission control device market is the rising demand from the industrial sector. Industrial emissions are a major source of air pollution in India, particularly in manufacturing, mining, construction, and agriculture. As industries continue to grow, so does their contribution to the overall pollution load. In response, many industrial sectors are turning to retrofit emission control technologies as a cost-effective means to comply with environmental regulations and reduce their environmental impact.

Manufacturing facilities, especially those in sectors like cement, steel, and chemicals, are significant contributors to air pollution due to their reliance on diesel-powered equipment, generators, and industrial boilers. These industries are under increasing pressure to implement cleaner technologies and adhere to strict emission standards. Retrofit emission control devices provide an affordable and efficient way for these industries to meet the regulations without the need for major infrastructure changes or costly replacements of machinery.

The growing focus on sustainability in the industrial sector is encouraging businesses to invest in green technologies. Many companies are adopting retrofitting solutions as part of their broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies. By reducing their environmental footprint and improving their emissions profiles, industries can not only meet regulatory requirements but also enhance their reputation as environmentally responsible businesses.

The rise of automation and digital technologies in industrial processes is enabling better monitoring and management of emissions. Retrofit emission control devices, when integrated with digital sensors and monitoring systems, allow industries to track emissions in real-time and optimize the performance of their systems. This trend is contributing to the increased adoption of retrofitting technologies, as industries seek to improve operational efficiency while reducing their environmental impact. As industrial growth in India continues to accelerate, the demand for retrofit emission control devices is expected to rise, driving market expansion across various sectors.

Based on Fuel Type, Diesel vehicles dominated the India Retrofit Emission Control Device market primarily due to their significant contribution to air pollution and their widespread use across key economic sectors. Diesel engines are prevalent in commercial transportation, logistics, public transit, and construction equipment because of their fuel efficiency and torque advantages. However, they are also major emitters of harmful pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons, which pose serious environmental and public health risks.

A large portion of India’s commercial vehicle fleet, including trucks, buses, and utility vehicles, is diesel-powered and often consists of older models that do not comply with current emission norms like Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI). Replacing these vehicles entirely is financially unfeasible for many operators, especially small and medium fleet owners. Retrofitting becomes a more viable and cost-effective option to extend vehicle life while achieving compliance with emission regulations. Retrofit emission control devices such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems are particularly effective in reducing pollutants from diesel engines. Additionally, the government’s focus on improving air quality in cities through programs like the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) and vehicle scrappage and retrofitting incentives has accelerated the adoption of emission control devices in diesel vehicles. Regulatory bodies also prioritize retrofitting diesel vehicles over petrol ones due to the higher pollutant load emitted per kilometer.

The dominance of diesel vehicles is further reinforced by enforcement measures targeting high-polluting diesel fleets, especially in pollution-prone regions such as Delhi-NCR. This regulatory push, combined with technical feasibility and economic necessity, makes diesel vehicles the primary application area for retrofit emission control technologies in India. As emission standards continue to tighten, the retrofitting of diesel vehicles is expected to remain a central focus of the market.

Based on region, South India is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the India Retrofit Emission Control Device market due to a combination of factors that favor the adoption of emission control technologies. Several key drivers contribute to this growth.

South Indian states, particularly Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, have been at the forefront of enforcing environmental regulations. The state's proactive stance in implementing the Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards, in alignment with national policies, has increased the demand for retrofit solutions in older vehicles and industrial machinery. Additionally, South India is home to some of the most polluted cities in India, like Chennai and Bengaluru, prompting increased awareness and the implementation of cleaner technologies.

South India is a hub for manufacturing, automotive, and industrial sectors. Major cities like Chennai, Coimbatore, and Hyderabad are key centers for automobile manufacturing, with numerous factories, logistics companies, and commercial fleets operating in the region. Many of these fleets, including buses, trucks, and commercial vehicles, are aging and require retrofitting to meet BS-VI standards. As industrial growth accelerates, retrofitting becomes an essential part of maintaining compliance with environmental norms while ensuring operational efficiency.

The South Indian states have shown a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. The Tamil Nadu government, for example, has introduced incentives to reduce vehicular emissions and promote cleaner technologies. Similarly, initiatives like the National Clean Air Program (NCAP) and other regional policies are encouraging fleet owners and industries to retrofit their vehicles and equipment.

With a growing middle class and increasing public awareness of the health impacts of pollution, there is a rising demand for cleaner air. The demand for retrofit solutions is also being driven by private companies seeking to improve their sustainability profiles.
