In recent years, the demand for major equipment manufacturing industries such as defense, automotive accessories, and railways has grown significantly, which has led to a significant increase in the machine tool industry. In spite of the global economic downturn, the Indian economy has maintained a balanced operation and GDP growth has reached 5%-9%, making it the second fastest growing economy in the world. The rapid economic growth in India mainly comes from the drive of agriculture, services, manufacturing, trade and construction. In order to restore industrial growth and maintain this momentum, the Indian government has taken a series of positive responses. In the coming years, the Indian machine tool industry will strive to achieve an annual growth rate of 35%, and export will account for more than 30% of the output value, and will continue to maintain its low-cost advantage.

India is at a stage of development. There is a wide gap between the rich and the poor, but there are factories and highways under construction everywhere; the few high-end vehicles on the road are imported, and the rest of the cars, trucks, motorcycles, motorcycles, passenger cars, and tractors , Construction machinery is manufactured almost entirely locally. In recent years, the rapid development of India's economy has led to an increase in demand for machine tools. The Indian machine tool market is an important area of ​​competition in various countries. Analyst Luo Baihui, head of the International Die & Mould and Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, believes that the growth and competitiveness of the Indian machine tool industry have the following characteristics: Has the ability to provide high-performance machine tool equipment for Indian and overseas users; strives to transform into a highly productive, efficient, and more cost-competitive industry; attaches great importance to quality; and establishes close integration with suppliers and secondary suppliers Relations; Actively communicate with customers in the automotive industry, defense industry and other fields. Chinese enterprises should pay attention to the needs of the Indian market strategically, because our products are suitable for the Indian market.

India basically sells machine tools by agents and provides after-sales services for enterprises. Indian machine tool service personnel have a certain foundation, and after training can undertake general maintenance services. Indian users trust agents. Chinese enterprises should seek good agents in India and use tactics to mobilize the enthusiasm of agents so that they can work hard to expand the market share of agency products. China's Jiangsu Jinfangyuan CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. is relatively successful in the Indian market. Its current share in India is second only to Japan's Amada.

According to Luo Baihui, machine tools can be divided into metal cutting machine tools and metal forming machine tools according to their different operating modes in a broad sense. Among them, metal cutting machine tools accounted for 87% of the total production of machine tools in India. The main products of India's metal cutting machine tools include turning centers, machining centers and grinding centers. These three types of products account for two-thirds of the total output of metal cutting machines in India. Metal forming machines mainly produce presses and presses account for 51% of the total output of metal forming machines. The Indian machine tool industry produces a series of products such as metal cutting and forming machines, machine tool accessories, cutting tools, and measuring equipment, particularly in shears, punches, punches, benders and forming machines.

Since 1991, the demand for machine tools in India has been huge, so manufacturers have focused on the development of the domestic market, and the share of exports in the output value is less than 10%. At present, the annual value of the Indian machine tool industry reaches 1 billion US dollars, but only 50 million US dollars is exported, and the products are mainly exported to Britain, Switzerland, Italy and other countries. But so far, the machine tool industry in China and India still has little cooperation in trade, investment and other fields. China has become the world's largest machine tool market. India hopes to purchase various spare parts for machine tools in China and hopes to establish a joint venture in China to produce or promote India's machine tools and related equipment. Many Indian companies expressed their desire to seek distributors and agents in China to solve the problem of sales and after-sales service of Indian machine tools in China in the future.

The ever-evolving manufacturing industry has pushed India to the 9th largest machine tool consumer market in 2007. The growth and demand of the new industry has boosted the demand for large-scale machine tools and has driven an increase in imports. In terms of metal processing machines, imported goods account for 75% of the entire Indian market.

According to the “International Die and Mould Machinery Industry” report, experiencing a market growth rate of 30% for five consecutive years, the Indian machine tool industry is facing a decline in demand caused by a sharp drop in customer demand. Despite these challenges, Indian machine tool production still maintained a level of growth that was basically the same as in previous years, with 86% of the contribution coming from the Jinche machine tool and the rest being metal forming machine tools.

According to different technologies, machine tools are divided into CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools and ordinary machine tools. CNC machine tools have high production efficiency, and CNC machine tools account for 70% of the total machine tools. In the entire industry, CNC lathes, CNC machining centers and CNC grinders are the three most productive machines, accounting for about 80% of India's total machine tool output in 2010.

At present, the Indian machine tool industry has 450 machine tool manufacturing companies, of which about 33% (about 150 machine tool manufacturing companies) are within the scope of government-owned companies. In addition, India's ten major machine tool builders account for almost 70% of the value of Indian machine tools. The Hindustan Machine Tool Co., Ltd. owned by the Indian government alone accounts for 32% of the output value of the Indian machine tool industry. About 75% of India's machine tool producers are eager to obtain the certification of Indian machine tool products by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). When the products of large machine tool manufacturers meet the needs of India's heavy industry, the products of small-scale machine tool companies meet the needs of other companies.

The Indian machine tool industry is basically similar to industrial developed countries. It started late but has a high starting point. The factory buildings are not large but they are all steel structures. Most of them are built with three-dimensional magazines; the products are all CNC machine tools with mid-range and above, and they do not meet the needs of India for manufacturing five-axis and large CNC machine tools. There are not many employees, but the proportion of technical personnel and sales personnel is high, and English and computers are generally mastered. Computer applications are very popular. The per capita annual sales income of these companies is about 80,000 to 90,000 U.S. dollars, about 600,000 yuan. The company attaches great importance to export and overseas market development, to adapt to India's national conditions, attach importance to the implementation of turnkey projects to users, and pay attention to user services. The enterprise attaches importance to the construction of corporate culture and humanistic management, and pays attention to improving the cohesion of the enterprise.
