India Diesel Genset Market to Surpass USD 1.8 Billion by 2033, Driven by Industrial Expansion, Data Centres, and Hybrid Power Models
Phoenix Research Forecasts CAGR of ~6–7.5% Over 2025–2033, With Medium-Sized Gensets and Rental Demand Leading Growth
– September 30, 2025 – Phoenix Research, a global provider of AI-powered market intelligence and consulting, today released its latest study: “India Diesel Genset Market: Power Reliability, Industrial Growth, and Emission-Compliant Engines (2025–2033).” The report finds that India’s diesel genset market, valued at ~USD 1.0–1.3 billion in 2025, is set to expand to ~USD 1.70–1.85 billion by 2033, reflecting a CAGR of ~6–7.5%.
Despite advances in India’s power infrastructure, grid reliability challenges—including frequent outages and voltage fluctuations—continue to drive strong demand for standby and prime power solutions across industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
“Diesel gensets remain indispensable in India’s power mix,” said Rachna Patni, Senior Analyst at Phoenix Research. “With rapid growth in data centres, telecom, and infrastructure, demand is shifting toward more fuel-efficient, emission-compliant, and digitally monitored gensets. Rental and hybrid models will define the next phase of growth.”
