In the last few years, India has emerged as a major market for electronic products and systems. This growing business and demand for electronic products has led to the increasing need for greater accuracy and highly specialised test and measurement (T&M) devices such as digital multimeters, digital insulation testers, logic analysers, digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, time domain reflectometers (TDR), multimeters, line power meters, etc. Over the last couple of years, the T&M industry has been constantly evolving to accommodate the technical advancements in the industries it caters to.
In appreciation of the Indian T&M manufacturers, importers and traders, Electronics Bazaar carried out an opinion poll on various companies’ state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, market share, service support and reach. We contacted experts in electronics associations, manufacturers, traders and customers of T&M equipment, who shared with us their preferences of leading T&M companies.
While this list is by no means comprehensive, it provides a glimpse into India’s leading T&M companies. We are not ranking them, but have only listed them in alphabetical order. We hope our initiative will be beneficial to our readers.
