India’s manufacturing industry stands at a once-in-a-generation crossroads. As global supply chains shift and domestic ambitions grow under “Make in India,” manufacturers face intense pressure to deliver world-class quality, speed and efficiency. Government incentives, strong investment and a vast consumer base create enormous potential, but competition is fierce. To stay ahead, manufacturers must adapt quickly.
Industrial robotics is reshaping production. By automating repetitive, precision-heavy tasks, robots boost productivity while freeing workers for higher-value functions such as programming, process optimisation and innovation. Robots excel in operations requiring speed and accuracy and take on labour-intensive roles that improve safety and consistency across production lines.
In India, Epson’s SCARA and Compact 6-Axis Robots are widely used. SCARA Robots deliver high speed and precision for pick-and-place, assembly and inspection tasks across electronics, pharmaceuticals and food processing. Compact 6-Axis Robots offer human-arm-like flexibility for machine tending, assembly and material handling in compact spaces.
With India’s robot market expected to grow strongly from 2025 to 2031³, demand for higher throughput, lower costs and consistent quality will only accelerate.
“Automation enables people to focus on higher-value work and drive greater innovation,” says Samba Moorthy, President, Epson India. “As India advances toward becoming a global manufacturing hub, robotics will be key to elevating efficiency and precision.”
