AI to Drive $150 Billion Manufacturing Boost in India by 2030
India’s manufacturing sector has entered a decisive phase where Industrial AI is moving beyond pilot projects into large-scale shop floor deployment. A new report by Your Nest Venture Capital, in collaboration with Praxis Global Alliance, reveals that 90percent of Indian manufacturing enterprises are already experimenting with AI, though capital investment is only beginning to accelerate.
The report identifies Industrial AI as one of the most under penetrated yet high-potential opportunities in India’s DeepTech ecosystem, with funding expected to grow ten-fold to $1.5 billion by 2030. Unlike traditional SaaS models, Industrial AI solutions are deeply integrated into physical manufacturing processes, creating higher entry barriers and stronger defensibility. Challenges such as legacy system integration and data readiness continue to persist across industries nationwide today.
