Incorporation of artificial intelligence into India power tool market is revolutionizing the power tool industry by enhancing its efficiency, safety, and productivity across different sectors. The global leading companies such as Bosch, Hilti, DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita have incorporated AI in power tools. It operates features such as smart sensors and connectivity that monitors performance, detect anomalies, and enables predictive maintenance. For instance, Milwaukee has a one-key platform allows users to customize, track and manage through a smartphone app, integrated with AI to enhance safety and performance. In India, companies such as Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj Auto are employing AI-driven robots and computer vision system for quality control and predictive maintenance. For instance, Bosch India, Q2 2025, launched IoT-enables tools which captures 18% of the premium market, leveraging predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and enhance lifecycle efficacy. Besides this, the growing integration of AI in drilling is also propelling the market growth. In December 2024, SLB, a global energy technology company, launched Neuro™ autonomous geosteering, a solution that uses AI to optimize drilling by guiding the drill bit through the most productive reservoir layers. This technology improves well efficiency, performance, and reduces the carbon footprint of drilling operations.
From October 2023 to September 2024, India exported 6,289 shipments of power tools, made by 412 exporters to 632 buyers, reflecting a 38% growth compared to the previous twelve months. In September 2024 alone, India exported 841 power tools shipments, representing a 255% year-on-year increase compared to September 2023, and a 176% rise from August 2024.
The wrenches segment is expected to hold a dominating position in the India power tool market growth in 2025, owing to its significant advantages in applying and controlling torque, particularly in heavy duty application. Wrenches are better for tasks that requires high torque as they have stronger grip on bolts and nuts compared to any other power tool. Longer the wrenches, the higher will be its torque which gives the user more force, making it easier to rotate the nut. In India, wrenches are widely used for tightening and loosening bolts and nuts they are most commonly used in automotive repairs, plumbing, construction, and various household projects. India’s wrench production comprises over 2,500 manufactures in the areas such as Jalandhar (Punjab), Nagaur (Rajasthan), and Ludhiana (Punjab).
The electric segments, consisting of cordless and corded subsegment is expected to dominate the market in 2025. He dominance of this segment is driven by the increasing adoption of cordless electric tools, which offer advantages such as portability, lightweight design, and convenience, making them suitable for various applications in construction, automotive, and DIY sectors. Electric-powered tools, especially cordless variants, are leading the Indian power tools market in 2025 due to their versatility and user-friendly features. The corded tools are popular in heavy duty application for consistent power supply and the cordless tools are rapidly rising due to lithium-ion batteries, portability and DIY/home use.
The Industrial Segment is anticipated to project to lead the India power tool market in 2025, owing to the rapid expansion of infrastructure projects, including government initiative such as Smart Cities Mission and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which is significantly increasing the demand for power tools in construction and manufacturing sectors. The government initiative is majority encouraging the growth of this segment through eh National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) investment of Rs100 Lakh crore plan for infrastructure development in India, spanning from 2019-20 to 2024-25.
East India is expected to dominate the India power tool market by 34.7% share in 2025, owing to rise in infrastructure development, industrial growth, and changes in workforce dynamics. East India Part of India comprises of states such as West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar which are observed to have increased public and private investment in roads, railways, housing, and urban development, this ultimately fuels the demand for cutting, drilling, grinding, and fastening tools on construction sites. The presence of industrial and mining activities in states including Jharkhand and Odisha, which are rich in minerals and home to mining and heavy industry hubs (e.g., Tata Steel in Jamshedpur, Nalco in Odisha). This has the requirement of power tools such as heavy-duty electric drills, demolition hammers, and grinders for operations and maintenance.
The total value of mineral production in Jharkhand as of March 2024 stood at approximately Rs 75,358 crore, underscoring the state's rich reserves of coal, iron ore, and bauxite.
The north India is estimated to be the fastest growing region of India for power tools. North India comprises of states such as Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Chandigarh and Lucknow which are undergoing continuous construction from housing complexes to commercial infrastructure. There is a strong demand for power tools such as drills, angle grinders, cutters and demolition hammers. Noth India consists of some renowned builders, contractors and government projects which rely heavily on efficient power tools.
In May 2025, Construction of the regional rapid transport system (RRTS) project from Sarai Kale Khan to Shahjahanpur-Behror in Rajasthan, passing through Gurugram, is likely to begin in August 2026 and completed by November 2031, according to the new detailed project (DPR) report prepared by executing agency National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which is further accelerating the power tools market demand in India.
Do-it-yourself or DIY activities refer to the method of repairing, building, and modifying objects without direct help from professionals. The trend of DIY activities increasing, especially in terms of home gardening, carpentry, and other activities, where people are using power tools such as electric drills and electric screwdrivers. A survey reveals that almost all homeowners have undertaken at least one DIY project, with 74% intending to begin another in 2025. This surge in DIY projects is further accelerating the power tool market demand in India.
The infrastructure sector is growing rapidly, especially in emerging economies such as China, India, South Africa, and Brazil. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is expected to become the third-largest construction market globally by 2025. According to the same source, India is expected to invest around US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure during 2025-2032 for the sustainable development of the country. Rapid infrastructure development has led to increased demand for various power tools such as electric drill machine, hammer drill, impact driver, electric screwdriver, rotary hammer, and many more. Thus, these factors are expected to propel the India power tool market growth over the forecast period.
Although, power tools offer efficiency and speed in construction activities, it requires timely maintenance operations. The batteries in cordless power tools need to be inspected and changed routinely. Besides, power tools are significantly more expensive than a hand-operated tool and hence only construction companies and workers often purchase these tools instead of casual users. Therefore, these factors are expected to restrain growth of the India power tool market share during the forecast period.
The Indian government has committed to numerous large-scale infrastructure projects such as Housing for All, Bharatmala (road infrastructure project), and Sagarmala (port development initiative). These projects require a significant amount of construction and maintenance, creating a robust demand for power tools used in tasks like drilling, cutting, grinding, and surface finishing. In addition, the government’s Make in India initiative is stimulating the growth of domestic manufacturing, which is directly driving the need for power tools in industrial sectors such as automotive, metalworking, and machinery. The increasing number of manufacturing hubs, particularly in states like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, is propelling demand for industrial-grade power tools that help streamline production processes and enhance productivity.
