The HVAC industry in India is experiencing rapid growth, driven by urbanization, infrastructure expansion, and the digital economy. With 15 million air conditioners being installed annually, the sector is now a significant contributor to the country’s economy. To support this growth, government initiatives such as the Rs 6,700 crore Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme are promoting domestic manufacturing and reducing import dependence.

The southern region of India, particularly Bengaluru, is leading the way, accounting for 40% of the national HVAC demand. The city’s rapid real estate and technology boom is driving demand for energy-efficient innovations and enhanced indoor air quality.

The ACREX India 2025 expo is a key platform for industry stakeholders to come together and discuss global advancements in HVAC technology. The event brings together manufacturers, policymakers, and industry leaders to showcase cutting-edge solutions and innovations.

The industry is embracing next-generation solutions, including AI-driven air conditioning systems, inverter-based ACs, and real-time data analytics to optimize energy efficiency and operational sustainability. Companies like Blue Star, Voltas, and Daikin are pioneering energy-efficient innovations to support India’s digital and industrial growth.

The government, industry leaders, and research institutions are working together to drive the industry’s transition to high-performance, sustainable systems. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16% in the coming years, driven by strong government policies and industry innovation.

As the industry looks to the future, there is a clear focus on sustainability, digitalization, and local manufacturing. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director of Informa Markets in India, notes that the need for HVAC solutions that enhance occupant comfort while reducing environmental impact has never been greater. With its focus on innovation and efficiency, India’s air conditioning industry is not just keeping the country cool – it’s driving a future of sustainability and growth.
