The test and measurement (T&M) industry in India is performing exceptionally well in the last few years. India’s recent success in space programmes has also boosted the market to a great extent. Moreover, the growth that India is witnessing in the telecommunications market is also giving a fillip to the industry. In this article, we are listing the Top 20 T&M players in India in terms of their revenue. This was an extensive exercise as we got in touch with more than 80 companies, both multinationals and indigenous firms. Some major firms like Agilent, Tektronics, Scientech Technologies could not be included in the list as they have not shared their Indian revenue.
Friday, February 19, 2009: Agilent has shared their global revenue, which is worth $5.8 billion. According to Mahadevan Viswanathan, country manager, sales, Agilent Technologies, “India has been witnessing a good growth in T&M industry over the last couple of years. The growth is seen across all the served industry segments like telecom, aerospace, defence, automotive, consumer electronics, contract manufacturing and semiconductor. Telecom growth is mainly fuelled by increasing subscriber-base, domestic demand and new technologies like 3G, WiMAX & LTE. Aerospace and defence has been largely dependent on the T&M industry for their mission-critical testing needs for robust systems and homeland security.”
