India Collaborative Robot Market is Expected to Register a 29.10% CAGR Through 2031
India Collaborative
Robot Market is expected to be led by the automotive industry, driven by high
automation demand in assembly, welding, and material handling operations, during
the forecast period.
According to
TechSci Research report, “India Collaborative Robot Market – By Region,
Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, India Collaborative Robot
Market was valued at USD 148.82 Million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD
689.08 Million by 2031 with a CAGR of 29.10% during the forecast period.
India’s push toward
self-reliance in manufacturing through initiatives like “Make in India,”
Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, and Smart Manufacturing Centres, is
encouraging the adoption of collaborative robotics. Such government programs
offer financial incentives, technology grants, and skill development funding,
which all support cobot integration in manufacturing plants. Additionally,
export promotion policies and industrial corridor development include subsidies
and tax breaks tied to automation investments, making cobots more affordable
and attractive compared to traditional robots.
Certain state-level
industrial policies—especially in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, have
designated automation as a priority infrastructure upgrade. These policies
offer zero-interest loans, capital grants, and clean energy subsidies, all of
which reduce the initial cost of deploying collaborative robots. Moreover,
public–private partnerships—often pioneering smart factory test-beds—create
proven blueprints for effective cobot deployment.
As policy frameworks mature,
these structured efforts help normalize cobots as standard assets in modern
factories, accelerating market growth beyond pilot projects. In 2024, four
electronics firms near Bengaluru leveraged a Production Linked Incentive scheme
to deploy 22 cobots. With an average utilization rate of 75 percent, the
project reduced cycle times by 19 percent. Enhanced efficiency allowed these
firms to scale up production and improve export readiness—demonstrating the
positive impact of targeted government-backed automation support.

Based on Industry, the
Metals & Machining industry emerged as the fastest-growing segment in the
India Collaborative Robot Market in 2025, driven by increasing demand for
automation in metal fabrication, welding, cutting, grinding, and quality
inspection processes. Collaborative robots are being widely adopted by
metalworking units to improve precision, safety, and efficiency in high-volume
and repetitive operations. These robots are ideal for handling heavy parts,
sharp tools, and hazardous environments while working safely alongside human
operators. As Indian manufacturers seek cost-effective ways to boost
productivity and meet international quality standards, collaborative robots are
becoming a strategic investment in machining workshops and metal fabrication
units.
Small and medium enterprises
in the sector are leveraging cobots to overcome skilled labor shortages and to
remain competitive in both domestic and export markets. Integration of
collaborative robots with computer numerical control (CNC) machines, laser cutters,
and robotic arms is enabling flexible, scalable, and compact automation setups.
North and West India, with their high concentration of machining and tooling
clusters, are witnessing particularly strong adoption. Supported by
technological advancements and rising awareness, the metals and machining
segment is expected to continue its rapid expansion, contributing significantly
to the growth of the collaborative robot ecosystem in India.
Based on Region, North India
has rapidly emerged as the fastest-growing region in the India Collaborative
Robot Market, owing to the region’s expanding industrial infrastructure and
increasing investments in smart manufacturing. States like Haryana, Uttar
Pradesh, and Punjab have seen a surge in automation adoption, particularly in
automotive, textile, and electronics sectors. Collaborative robots are being
integrated into small and medium enterprises for tasks such as assembly,
welding, and pick-and-place operations to enhance efficiency and reduce
dependency on manual labor.
The presence of manufacturing
clusters in areas like Noida, Manesar, and Baddi has encouraged companies to
invest in flexible automation tools. Additionally, government-backed industrial
corridors and special economic zones have attracted both domestic and
international players looking to set up technologically advanced production
lines. The ease of doing business, availability of skilled labor, and
infrastructural development are key factors drawing collaborative robot vendors
and integrators to this region.
Academic institutions and
technical training centers across North India are contributing to skill
development focused on robotics and automation. This ecosystem is fostering
innovation and ensuring a pipeline of trained professionals capable of
supporting cobot adoption. As industrial growth continues and awareness
increases, North India is expected to maintain its upward trajectory in
collaborative robot deployment.
