McKinsey Projects India's Electrical Equipment Industry to Reach $235 Billion by 2035

A McKinsey report projects India's electrical equipment industry could grow to USD 195-235 billion by 2035, driven by rising domestic consumption, exports, and manufacturing capacity. The sector, spanning power generation to end-use applications, is expected to grow annually by 11-13%. Domestic consumption may reach USD 170-205 billion, with exports exceeding USD 60 billion. However, import dependence has risen from 22% in 2020 to 33% in 2025 and could surpass 70% by 2035 without increased domestic production.
