Frost & Sullivan expects India’s medium and heavy-duty truck space to grow steadily over the next decade, driven by rapid infrastructure expansion, industrial recovery, and logistics demand across core sectors, including construction, mining, eCommerce, and agriculture. While legacy manufacturers continue to lead in production and distribution scale, a wave of new, technology-driven players and suppliers is entering the ecosystem with digital fleet management, telematics integration, and advanced powertrain solutions aimed at improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. The market is witnessing a shift toward higher payload capacities, connected vehicle platforms, and alternative fuel compatibility as fleet operators seek to enhance uptime and reduce total cost of ownership. The introduction of BS-VI emission norms has spurred innovation in engine technologies, after-treatment systems, and predictive maintenance, while also prompting investments in localized manufacturing and supply chain resilience.
