Compressor Crunch: India’s race to build domestic capacity
- Manufacturing domestic air-conditioner compressors is gaining focus in India due to the surge in demand for room ACs and import pressures caused by China's dominance.
- India's room AC market is projected to reach 14-15 million units in FY25, with a future demand expected to rise to 18 million units. However, the limited installed capacity for room AC compressors, currently at 6 million units, calls for domestic expansion.
- The high dependence on imported compressors from China is causing a supply gap in the market. Compressor imports from China have surged by 43% in volume from April to December 2024.
- Leading AC brands like Voltas, Blue Star, PG, and Amber are considering large-scale investments in compressor manufacturing facilities, but the process may take three to four years. Precision machining and capital investment in advanced technology are major challenges for Indian manufacturers in this sector.
