Key Questions Answered in the Report

How large is the India diesel generator market in 2025?

The India diesel generator market size hit USD 1.24 billion in 2025 and is on track to reach USD 1.77 billion by 2030.

What is driving demand for diesel gensets in Tier-II cities?

Frequent 2- to 4-hour daily outages and voltage fluctuations keep businesses and households reliant on backup power despite national grid improvements.

Which capacity band is growing fastest?

Units rated 375 - 750 kVA are rising at an 8.9% CAGR because hyperscale data centers and large construction projects need synchronized, emission-compliant sets.

How do CPCB IV+ norms affect genset prices?

Compliance adds 15% - 20% to factory cost and raises five-year ownership expenses by as much as 18% due to SCR and DPF requirements.

Will rooftop solar and batteries replace diesel generators soon?

Solar-plus-storage is eroding demand in grid-connected residences, but diesel remains dominant for multi-hour autonomy in off-grid, prime-power, and data-center applications until storage costs fall further.
