India's industrial robot installations growing rapidly, nearly 10,500 units in 2025

According to IFR data, India's annual industrial robot installations grew 15% in 2025, approaching 10,500 units, nearly double the level of 2022. The core of the event is: low labor costs once kept Indian factories reliant on manual work for a long time, but robot automation is now spreading rapidly in manufacturing. A typical case is Hyundai's Pune plant: after modernization, the number of robots increased from 6 in the GM era to 204, welding is now fully automated, but part placement is only about 10% automated, and dimensional inspection and additional 3D scanning are carried out at about 2,000 measurement points on the body.
