Industry Overview
The Indian Engineering sector has witnessed a remarkable growth over the last few years driven by increased
investments in infrastructure and industrial production. The engineering sector, being closely associated with
the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors of the economy, is of strategic importance to India’s economy.
Growth in the sector is driven by various sub-sectors such as infrastructure, power, steel, automotives, oil and
gas, consumer durables etc.
India on its quest to become a global superpower has made significant strides towards the development of its
engineering sector. The Indian government has appointed the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) to
be the apex body in charge of promotion of engineering goods, products and services from India. India exports
transport equipment, capital goods, other machinery/equipment and light engineering products such as castings,
forgings and fasteners to various countries of the world.
Coupled with favourable regulatory policies and growth in the manufacturing sector, many foreign players have
started to invest in the country. India recently became a permanent member of the Washington Accord (WA) on
June 13, 2014. The country now joins an exclusive group of 17 countries who are permanent signatories of the
WA, an elite international agreement on engineering studies and mobility of engineers.
Driven by strong demand for engineering goods, exports from India registered a double digit growth at 10.22 per
cent to touch US$ 26.4 billion in June 2014 from US$ 24.02 billion in the corresponding month last year. This
growth can be credited to the robust expansion in shipments of aircraft, spacecraft parts and automobiles. The
second best performing sector was non-ferrous metals and metal products. Engineering exports from India are
expected to cross US$ 70 billion in FY 15 registering a growth of 15 per cent over the previous fiscal, as demand

8. in key markets such as the US and the UAE is on the rise. Apart from these traditional markets, markets in
Eastern and Central European countries such as Poland also hold huge promise.
India exports its engineering goods mostly to the US and Europe, which accounts for over 60 per cent of the total
exports. Recently, India's engineering exports to Japan and South Korea have also increased with shipments to
these two countries rising by 16 and 60 per cent respectively.
Outlook
The engineering sector is a growing market. Current spending on engineering services is projected to increase to
US$ 1.1 trillion by 2020. With development in associated sectors such as automotive, industrial goods and
infrastructure, coupled with a well-developed technical human resources pool, engineering exports are expected
to touch US$ 120 billion by 2015.
Also, the Union Budget 2014-15 has allocated funds for several infrastructure projects which are further
expected to provide a boost to the engineering sector. The industry can also look forward to deriving revenues
from newer services and from newer geographies with Big Data, Cloud, M2M and Internet of Things becoming a
reality.
