India Diesel Genset Market Size Set to Touch USD 1.65 Billion by 2029

India diesel genset market is flourishing because of the growing deployment of DG (diesel generator) sets, advancements in diesel generator technology, and a high demand for uninterrupted power supply.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the India diesel genset market size at USD 1.04 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the India diesel genset market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.8% reaching a value of USD 1.65 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the India diesel genset market include an increasing demand for reliable and uninterrupted power supply. With rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the growth of commercial establishments, the need for backup power solutions has become vital. Diesel gensets offer a dependable source of electricity during grid failures, load shedding, and emergencies, ensuring smooth operations for various industries and businesses. Also, the lack of reliable power infrastructure in certain regions and the need for continuous power in critical sectors such as healthcare, data centers, and telecommunications further boost the demand for diesel gensets in India. As a result, the market continues to experience significant growth driven by the crucial role these gensets play in ensuring uninterrupted power supply across various applications. However, growing trend of renewable power generation and fluctuating diesel prices are anticipated to restrain the overall market growth.

India Diesel Genset Market – Overview

India diesel genset market plays a vital role in supporting various sectors across the country with uninterrupted and reliable power supply. Diesel generators are extensively utilized in manufacturing, serving as both primary and standby power sources. As India is poised to become the global manufacturing hub by 2030, thanks to the Make in India initiative by the Government of India, significant opportunities are anticipated for the diesel genset market. These gensets, which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through diesel engines, are essential for providing backup power during electricity outages and grid failures. With their wide range of capacities and applications, diesel gensets cater to diverse sectors, including commercial establishments, healthcare facilities, data centers, telecommunications, and residential buildings.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Diesel Genset Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the India diesel genset market. The nationwide lockdowns and restrictions disrupted manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain activities, leading to project delays and cancellations. The economic downturn and financial uncertainties resulted in reduced investment and deferred purchase decisions, affecting market growth. The closure of businesses and industries during the pandemic decreased the immediate demand for diesel gensets. However, the pandemic also highlighted the importance of reliable power backup in critical sectors, fostering interest in genset installations. As the economy gradually recovered, the market experienced a rebound, driven by the need for uninterrupted power supply and preparedness for future disruptions.

India Diesel Genset Market – By Vertical

Based on vertical, the India diesel genset market is divided into Commercial, Industrial, and Residential segments.
