India Turbochargers Market

India Turbochargers Market Overview:

The India turbochargers market size reached USD 1,212.3 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2,238.2 Million by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.10% during 2025-2033. The market is expanding due to stricter emission norms, rising production of fuel-efficient vehicles, demand for improved engine performance, growth in commercial and passenger vehicle segments, and increasing penetration of turbocharged diesel engines. Government policies supporting automotive innovation and localization of turbocharger manufacturing also contribute to market growth.

India Turbochargers Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Turbochargers in Passenger Vehicles

There is a notable increase in the adoption of turbochargers in India’s passenger vehicle segment. For instance, as per industry reports, the passenger car segment’s market share in automotive turbochargers is anticipated to cross 70% by 2037. Moreover, in 2024, India’s passenger car sales reached 43 lakh units, up 4.2% from 2023. December alone saw a 10% year-on-year rise in dispatches to 3,14,934 units. The October–December quarter also marked the highest-ever passenger vehicle sales at 10.6 lakh units, a 4.5% increase. Manufacturers are integrating turbochargers in smaller engine configurations to comply with BS-VI norms while maintaining performance levels. This trend is particularly strong in urban regions where consumers prioritize fuel efficiency and lower emissions without compromising driving dynamics. Hatchbacks and compact SUVs, which dominate urban mobility solutions, are being equipped with low-displacement turbocharged petrol engines. Automotive OEMs are leveraging this technology to offer enhanced acceleration and power output while meeting regulatory compliance. Additionally, consumer awareness about the performance benefits of turbocharged vehicles is increasing, contributing to wider adoption across mid-range and premium vehicle categories.

Growth in Turbochargers for Commercial Vehicles and Off-Highway Applications

The commercial vehicle segment is witnessing increased integration of turbochargers due to the demand for fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance. Heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery now require higher power density and lower emissions, both achievable through turbocharging. As infrastructure development accelerates under government programs like Bharatmala and PM Gati Shakti, the usage of turbocharged engines in off-highway applications is rising. Engine manufacturers are incorporating high-boost turbochargers with advanced cooling and pressure control to meet the performance requirements of high-load operations. This trend is creating opportunities for specialized turbocharger solutions, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where industrial and logistics demand is growing. For instance, in January 2025, Cummins Turbo Technologies showcased its latest two-stage turbocharging innovation, aimed at enhancing performance and emissions compliance in medium- and heavy-duty engines. The two-stage system, combining small and large turbochargers in series, improves power delivery across engine speeds—offering low-speed torque and high-speed efficiency. Cummins applies this technology in sequential, compound, and parallel configurations, suitable for diesel, natural gas, and hydrogen combustion engines.
