India's engineering research and development (ER&D) sector is projected to surpass USD 100 billion in revenue by 2030, driven by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into core engineering workflows, IT industry body Nasscom said on Tuesday.
The sector, which is estimated to generate USD 63 billion in revenue in FY26, is witnessing a significant shift as engineering becomes increasingly software-defined, data-driven and intelligent.
"Global ER&D spending is projected to reach USD 2.482.50 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 89 per cent between CY24 and CY30. With an estimated revenue of USD 63 billion in FY26, India's ER&D services revenue is projected to cross USD 100 billion by 2030.

A Delhi court on Saturday adjourned its order on a revision plea challenging a September 11, 2025 verdict of a magistrate, refusing to probe the allegation that Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's name was included in the electoral roll three years before acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983.
Special Judge Vishal Gogne adjourned the pronouncement to September 21.
Earlier, Sonia Gandhi's counsel had submitted a reply, saying that the complaint was politically motivated and filed for an extraneous reason.
The magisterial court's order had dismissed the complaint filed by advocate Vikas Tripathi, vice president of the Central Delhi Court Bar Association of the Rouse Avenue court.
