Machinery manufacturers in India: list, hubs and how to sell

The quick answer

No government office publishes a list of machinery manufacturers in India with the phone numbers and emails a supplier or distributor needs. The Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association publishes a member list for machine tools, and companies that are listed on the stock exchanges publish their own addresses, but the thousands of small machine builders, pump and valve makers, gear and bearing shops and machine dealers are found mostly in business lists. Starleads' Industrial Machinery & Equipment list for India had 87,958 businesses on 31 October 2026, 81% of them with a mobile number and 40% with an email, across 28 states and 284 cities. Mumbai (20,931), Bengaluru (11,100), Delhi (10,247), Pune (9,374) and Ludhiana (3,245) hold the most.

This guide is for businesses that sell to machinery makers or buy from them: casting and forging units, steel and bearing suppliers, motor and control-panel makers, machine dealers and distributors, spare-part traders, transporters, software and automation vendors, and factories looking for a new machine. It explains how India's machinery industry is spread out, what Starleads' data holds and where it falls short, the safety order for machinery that was withdrawn in January 2026, the government's capital goods scheme, and how to reach these companies step by step within TRAI's rules. All Starleads figures here are counts of contacts in Starleads' data on the day we checked, not an official census.

What counts as a machinery manufacturer

"Machinery" covers far more than the big names people expect. A search for machinery manufacturers in India returns makers of earth-moving equipment and CNC lathes next to small units that build one packaging machine a month. For a seller, it helps to split the industry into the groups that buy differently:

• Machine tools: lathes, milling, grinding, drilling and CNC machining centres, and presses and other metal-forming machines. The Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) calls machine tools "mother machines" because they are used to make every other machine.
• Process and plant machinery: reactors, mixers, dryers, boilers, heat exchangers and complete plants for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and dairy. Many are built to order by fabricators.
• Special-purpose machines: packaging, filling and sealing machines, printing machines, plastic extrusion and moulding machines, textile and weaving machines.
• Fluid-handling equipment: pumps, valves, compressors, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
• Power transmission and parts: gears and gearboxes, bearings, electric motors, fasteners and precision-turned components. These firms sell to the machine builders, and are often the first rung of the supply chain a newcomer can reach.
• Material handling and construction machinery: conveyors, cranes, hoists, forklifts and earth-moving equipment.
• Dealers and service firms: stockists of imported and Indian machines, used-machinery traders, and repair and retrofit shops. They are not makers, but they buy, sell and recommend machines, and they appear in the same lists.

In India's industrial classification, most of these sit in Section C (manufacturing), mainly in the division for machinery and equipment and the division for electrical equipment, with parts and fabrication spread across others. Our NIC code guide explains how the codes work and what changed in NIC 2025. The codes help when you read a company's Udyam or MCA record, but no public register gives you the phone number of the person who buys.

Machinery manufacturers list: what Starleads' data shows

We read the All-India list page, 13 state lists, 23 city lists and the specialisation lists for the industry on 31 October 2026. The All-India list holds 87,958 businesses. Beyond mobile and email, 58% have a landline and 10% a website; 98% come with a street address, 78% with a contact person's name and 89% with a PIN code. The three biggest states, Maharashtra (32,332), Delhi (12,077) and Karnataka (11,395), hold 63% of the rows. By category, the biggest groups are Automobile Components & Parts (3,120), Offset Printing Machines (2,388) and Machine Tools & Parts (2,219).

Live figures from the list today: the Industrial Machinery & Equipment list for India has 87,958 contacts, 81% with a mobile number and 40% with an email address. Every list page shows 60 sample rows you can download free before you buy, and you can buy one of 23 city lists instead of all of India.

Related lists for the machinery trade

Fabricators build to order for the same buyers, pump and motor dealers resell what machine makers produce, and purchase heads are the people who sign the orders.

• Industrial Machinery & Equipment 87,958 contacts · 40% email · 81% mobile ₹1,999
• Fabricators & Engineering Works 34,183 contacts · 41% email · 91% mobile ₹1,999

• Purchase & Procurement Heads 7,19,174 contacts · 23% email · 93% mobile ₹1,999

The specialisation lists show what each part of the trade looks like in the data. They are small slices of the 87,958 rows, and their contact details differ a lot:

Specialisation list	Contacts	Mobile	Email	Where most are
Machine Tools & Parts	2,219	All	27%	Pune (536), Mumbai (405), Bengaluru (354), Ludhiana (248), Delhi (238)
Bearings	1,322	99%	25%	Mumbai (422), Delhi (306), Bengaluru (136), Jaipur (107), Pune (85)
Valves	1,021	51%	72%	Mumbai (229), Ahmedabad (106), Pune (75), Vadodara (61), Jalandhar (57)
Electric Motors	725	All	19%	Delhi (122), Bengaluru (109), Pune (89), Mumbai (75), Ludhiana (75)
Packaging Machines	699	All	14%	Mumbai (425), Pune (91), Delhi (76), Bengaluru (33), Faridabad (14)
Pumps & Pumping Equipment	689	25%	86%	Ahmedabad (96), Coimbatore (75), Mumbai (58), New Delhi (45), Chennai (45)
CNC Machined Components	505	All	38%	Bengaluru (254), Pune (105), Mumbai (41), Vadodara (25), Faridabad (22)

Two patterns matter for planning. First, the parts trades (bearings, motors, machine tools, CNC components) almost all have a mobile number, so they suit calling. Second, pumps and valves lean the other way: three in four pump rows have no mobile but most have an email and a landline, so plan an email and office-hours call campaign for them instead.

Where machinery is made: the hubs in the data

The city and state lists show clear clusters. The localities below are the ones the list pages name most often where a locality is given; they come from Starleads' rows, not from an official survey.

Hub	Starleads contacts	Mobile / email	Busiest localities and biggest groups
Mumbai	20,931 (65% of Maharashtra)	87% / 25%	Andheri East (976), Goregaon East (570), Malad West (414), Bhandup West, Kandivali West; offset printing machines (1,411), pigments (621), automobile components (569)
Bengaluru	11,100 (97% of Karnataka)	97% / 37%	Peenya Industrial Area (580), Peenya (448), Rajajinagar (279), Kamakshi Palya; precision-turned components (587), machine tools and parts (354)
Delhi	12,077 (state list; 10,247 in the Delhi city list)	85% / 35%	Automobile components (1,211), bearings (307), printing machines and parts (252)
Pune	9,374 (29% of Maharashtra)	91% / 39%	Bhosari (1,002), Chinchwad (466), Pimpri (306), Hadapsar, Sinhagad Road; machine tools and parts (536), automobile components (487)
Ludhiana	3,245 (86% of Punjab)	92% / 35%	Miller Ganj (206), Focal Point (199), Gill (183), G T Road, Industrial Area A; fasteners (490), machine tools and parts (248)
Gujarat	8,976 in 54 towns	74% / 57%	Vadodara (2,705), Ahmedabad (2,388), Surat (1,984), Rajkot (677); valves (250), pumps (175)
Tamil Nadu	2,724 in 23 towns	15% / 76%	Chennai (1,469), Coimbatore (788), Tiruppur (92), Hosur; pumps (127)

A few things stand out. Pune's lists are dense with machine tools and auto parts in the Pimpri-Chinchwad belt, which suits sellers of tooling, inserts, coolants and inspection gauges; our manufacturing companies in Pune guide covers that city in more depth. Bengaluru's rows cluster in Peenya, where precision-turned and CNC component shops supply larger machine builders. Ludhiana is a fastener and machine-tool town in the data. Ahmedabad and Vadodara lead on valves, pumps and plant machinery, the equipment that chemical and pharmaceutical plants buy.

Where Starleads' machinery list falls short

A list is only useful if you know its limits. These are the ones we found on 31 October 2026:

• Makers and dealers are mixed. The list describes itself as "makers and dealers of industrial machinery, machine tools, pumps, valves, bearings, fasteners, compressors and hydraulic equipment". It does not mark which rows manufacture and which only trade. Use the category column and the company name, and ask on the first call.
• Some rows are misfiled. The free sample for the All-India list includes a few businesses that are clearly not machinery firms, such as apparel and footwear companies. Expect some rows to need removing; check the sample before you buy and filter by category.
• Tamil Nadu has few mobiles. Only 10% of Chennai rows and 10% of Coimbatore rows have a mobile number, against 94% and 95% with a landline and 74% and 77% with an email. Rajkot is similar (25% mobile, 86% email). In these cities, email and landline calls in office hours work better than mobile campaigns.
• The big names are under-represented. Large listed companies appear, if at all, with a head-office number, not the plant purchase team. For them, use the company's own vendor-registration page; our vendor registration guide explains how that works.
• Details change. Small units move, close and change numbers. No list stays fully current, and Starleads makes no claim that every row is correct.

Use the list builder to keep only rows with a mobile or an email, or request a custom list if you need one specialisation across several states. City, state and specialisation lists cost ₹499 each and an All-India list with 10,000 or more contacts costs ₹1,999, plus 18% GST.

The rules and schemes that shape what machine makers buy

The machinery safety order was withdrawn in January 2026

Many older articles say that every machine sold in India will need BIS certification under the "Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024". That is out of date. The Ministry of Heavy Industries' order S.O. 239(E), dated 14 January 2026 and published in the Gazette of India on 16 January 2026, "rescinds the notification ... S.O. 3649(E), dated the 28th August, 2024 ... relating to the Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024, with immediate effect". It was issued under section 16 of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.

The ministry's machinery and electrical equipment page (read on 31 October 2026) still lists the earlier documents: a Second Amendment Order of 13 November 2025, category guidelines for weaving machines of 10 October 2025, and a BIS certification portal manual and webinar from August 2025. Those were steps towards an order that no longer applies. Specific products can still be covered by their own quality control orders, so check the BIS site for your product before you import, make or sell it. For a supplier, the practical point is this: a machine builder who was preparing for BIS certification under the omnibus order may have paused that spending, and testing, documentation and certification consultants should check what each customer still needs.

The capital goods scheme

The Ministry of Heavy Industries runs the Scheme for Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector. Its Phase II page (read on 31 October 2026) says Phase II was notified on 25 January 2022 with a total outlay of ₹1,207 crore: ₹975 crore of budget support and ₹232 crore from industry. It has six parts: advanced centres of excellence, common engineering facility centres, skill development for capital goods (including qualification packs at skill level 6 and above), expanded testing and certification centres, industry accelerators for Indian technology, and technology identification through the Technology Innovation Portal. The examples the page gives include machine tools, fluid-control equipment, submersible slurry pumps, industrial robots and welding skills. Phase I began in November 2014. For a seller, the centres and common facilities are places where machine builders meet, test and train, and are worth knowing about.

The trade association

The Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (read on 31 October 2026) describes itself as "the sole voice of the industry in India" and runs IMTEX, IMTEX Forming, Delhi MTX, Pune MTX, Facteq and Weld Expo. Its site lists a National Productivity Summit on 25 and 26 November 2026 and an International Seminar on Machining Technologies on 22 and 23 January 2027, with IMTEX 2027 marked as upcoming. Its head office is at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre on Tumkur Road. The association publishes a list of members on its site, which is the closest thing to an official machine tool manufacturers list; it does not give buyers' mobile numbers.

If you want to become a dealer for a machine brand rather than sell to one, our guides on becoming a distributor and the distributor agreement cover the deposit, margins and the clauses to read. For the wider manufacturing picture, see the manufacturing companies list in India and the steel manufacturers list, since steel is the largest raw material a machine builder buys.

How to find and win machinery manufacturers as customers, step by step

1. Pick one specialisation and one hub. A bearing supplier and a coolant supplier want different rows. Start with the specialisation table above and the hub where it is densest: CNC components in Bengaluru, machine tools in Pune, fasteners in Ludhiana, valves and pumps in Ahmedabad and Vadodara.
2. Download the free 60-row sample first. Check whether the rows are makers or traders, how many name the owner, and whether the numbers are mobiles or landlines. If the sample is mostly dealers and you sell raw material, choose another list.
3. Clean the file. Remove rows that are clearly in another trade, merge duplicates by phone number, and split the sheet by locality (Bhosari, Peenya, Focal Point and so on) so a sales rep can plan visits by area.
4. Check the company before you give credit. Look up the GSTIN on the GST taxpayer search to confirm the legal name, state and whether registration is active. For a company, check the MCA record; our company search guide shows how.
5. Open with a short, specific call or email. Name the part or machine you supply, the grade or size, and a reason to talk now (a shorter lead time, a local stock point, a trial lot). Machine shops buy on delivery and consistency more than on brochures.
6. Offer a trial order and a drawing check. Many machine builders will test a small lot against their drawing before adding a vendor. Make that easy: ask for the drawing, quote quickly and deliver on the date you promised.
7. Get on the approved vendor list. Larger firms ask for GST and PAN, a cancelled cheque, quality certificates and sometimes a factory visit. Keep these ready in one PDF.
8. Meet them where they gather. IMTMA's exhibitions and the capital goods scheme's common facility centres bring machine builders together; a stall or a visit with a printed price list can do in two days what weeks of calls do.
9. Follow up on a schedule. Note each answer and the next date in a CRM or a sheet. Our guide to reaching purchase managers covers how approvals and vendor codes work inside larger plants.

Calling, SMS and email within the rules

In machine shops, the mobile on a list is often the owner's own phone. TRAI's rules on commercial communication apply whichever list it came from:

• DND (NCPR). TRAI's preference registration page (read on 31 October 2026) lets anyone block commercial communication by SMS or a call to 1909, by IVRS, an approved app or a web portal, by category (such as "Consumer goods and automobiles" or "Communication/Broadcasting/Entertainment/IT"), by mode, time band and day of the week. Check numbers before any promotional campaign; our DND check guide shows how.
• Registered senders and DLT. TRAI's Second Amendment Regulations of 12 February 2025 require access providers to ensure that commercial communication "takes place only using registered headers or the number resources allotted to the Senders" and give recipients seven days to complain. Send SMS only through a DLT-registered provider with an approved header and template; our DLT registration guide explains how.
• Consent and personal data. At the end of a first call, ask how the company wants your offer (email, WhatsApp or a visit), note the answer and the date, and stop when someone says no. Our DPDP Act guide for B2B sales covers how India's data protection law affects business contacts.

Starleads sells lists of businesses and professionals only. It does not sell lists of factory workers, job seekers or any other private individuals, and a company list must never be used to reach employees at home. For Starleads' figures across all industries, see the Insights page.

Questions people ask

How many machinery manufacturers are there in India?

We did not find a current official count that we could check today. Starleads' Industrial Machinery & Equipment list for India had 87,958 businesses on 31 October 2026, makers and dealers together, in 28 states and 284 cities. That is a count of contacts in Starleads' data, not a census.

Which are the top 10 machinery manufacturers in India?

There is no official ranking. Lists of "top 10" machinery makers online are written by their authors and mix very different businesses, from earth-moving equipment to machine tools. For a ranking by size, compare the annual reports of listed companies in your segment; for machine tools, start with IMTMA's member list.

Is there a list of machinery manufacturers in India with contact details?

IMTMA publishes its member list for machine tools. Starleads' All-India list gives a mobile number for 81% of its 87,958 rows and an email for 40%, with a free 60-row sample; city lists such as Pune (9,374) and Bengaluru (11,100) are smaller and cheaper.

Which city has the most machinery manufacturers in India?

In Starleads' data, Mumbai has the largest list (20,931), followed by Bengaluru (11,100), Delhi (10,247), Pune (9,374) and Ludhiana (3,245). Maharashtra is the largest state with 32,332.

Do machines need BIS certification in India?

The omnibus Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety Order, 2024, which would have brought most machinery under BIS rules, was rescinded with immediate effect by the Ministry of Heavy Industries' order of 14 January 2026. Some individual products can still fall under their own quality control orders, so check the BIS site for your product.

How do I become a dealer of an industrial machinery brand?

Write to the maker's sales or channel team with your territory, showroom or service set-up and the industries you cover. Expect questions about technical staff and service capability, since machines need installation and after-sales support. Our guide to getting a dealership lists the documents and checks.

What is the difference between a machinery manufacturer and a fabricator?

A machinery manufacturer designs and builds a standard machine and sells it many times. A fabricator builds to the customer's drawing, often one tank, frame or structure at a time. Starleads keeps them in separate lists: 87,958 machinery rows and 34,183 fabricators and engineering works.
