Press Release

India Gas Engine Market is Expected to Register a 9.51% CAGR Through 2031

Growing Demand for Clean & Reliable Power and Expansion of Natural Gas Infrastructure are likely to propel the market during the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Gas Engine Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, India Gas Engine Market was valued at USD 125 Million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 217 Million by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.51% during the forecast period.

India’s robust industrial sector—including manufacturing, textiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals—requires a continuous and efficient power supply to maintain productivity and reduce downtime. Gas engines, with their ability to operate continuously and cost-effectively, are increasingly being adopted as a primary or supplementary power source in such sectors. Their scalability and efficiency make them ideal for captive power generation.

Gas engines are well-suited for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or cogeneration applications, which allow industries to use waste heat from the engine for heating, cooling, or other process needs. This enhances overall energy efficiency, often reaching up to 80%, and leads to substantial savings in energy costs. For industries with both power and thermal energy requirements, this dual benefit becomes highly attractive.

As Indian industries strive to improve their energy efficiency and lower their carbon footprint, CHP systems powered by gas engines offer an effective solution. The growing awareness of energy efficiency measures, coupled with rising electricity tariffs and pressure to decarbonize operations, is prompting industries to invest in such solutions.

The increasing uptake of gas engines in industrial applications—both for standalone and cogeneration purposes—is a strong growth driver, particularly as India positions itself as a global manufacturing hub under initiatives like "Make in India." The synergy between industrial development and energy optimization continues to bolster the gas engine market.

Based on End User, Small industries dominated the India gas engine market due to several compelling factors that align closely with their operational and economic needs. These industries, which form a significant portion of India’s manufacturing and commercial landscape, often require reliable, cost-effective, and flexible power solutions to maintain continuous production and stay competitive.

Small industries frequently face challenges related to unreliable grid power, including frequent outages and voltage fluctuations. Gas engines offer an effective solution by providing captive power that ensures uninterrupted electricity supply. This reliability is crucial for small-scale manufacturing units, workshops, and processing plants where power disruptions can lead to significant losses in productivity and revenue.

Gas engines are comparatively more affordable and easier to install and maintain than larger, more complex power generation systems. For small industries operating on tight budgets, gas engines present a practical balance between initial investment and operational costs. They also benefit from lower fuel expenses when running on natural gas, which is increasingly accessible due to expanding pipeline infrastructure. This affordability makes gas engines more attractive than diesel generators, which are costlier to operate and produce higher emissions.

Another important factor is the growing environmental awareness and regulatory pressure on small industries to reduce their carbon footprint. Gas engines produce fewer pollutants compared to diesel-based generators, helping small industries comply with local emission standards without incurring substantial additional costs. Furthermore, small industries benefit from the scalability and flexibility of gas engines. These engines can be sized appropriately to meet the specific power demands of a facility and can be easily integrated with other energy systems, including combined heat and power (CHP) applications, which improve overall energy efficiency.

Based on region, North India is currently the fastest-growing region in the India gas engine market due to a combination of favorable economic, infrastructural, and policy-related factors. This region, encompassing states like Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, has witnessed rapid industrialization, urbanization, and an increasing demand for reliable power solutions, driving the adoption of gas engines.

One of the primary reasons for North India’s growth is the expanding natural gas infrastructure. The government’s initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga project have focused heavily on extending the natural gas pipeline network in northern states, improving fuel availability and reducing dependency on costly diesel or coal. This increased access to piped natural gas makes gas engines a practical and economical choice for power generation in industries, commercial establishments, and residential areas.

North India hosts several industrial hubs and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), where continuous and clean power supply is essential. Gas engines provide a reliable captive power source that meets stringent environmental regulations, helping industries reduce emissions while ensuring uninterrupted production. The rise of data centers, healthcare facilities, and commercial complexes in urban centers like Delhi and Gurugram has also increased demand for efficient and cleaner power backup systems, further boosting market growth.

Environmental regulations and pollution control measures have gained prominence in North India due to concerns over air quality, particularly in Delhi and its neighboring areas. The shift away from diesel generators to cleaner gas engines is seen as a critical step toward reducing pollution, supported by government incentives and stricter emission norms.
