India's Engineering R&D Revenue Projected to Surpass $100 Billion by 2030 on AI Integration
India's engineering research and development (ER&D) services revenue is projected to exceed USD 100 billion by 2030, up from an estimated USD 63 billion in FY26, driven by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into engineering processes. Nasscom's report highlights Physical AI—encompassing robotics, autonomous systems, and intelligent products—as a key growth area. The sector is expected to evolve through stages, starting with intelligent products and predictive maintenance, advancing to virtual engineering, and eventually autonomous systems, aligning with global ER&D spending growth.
