Leading SMT distributors in India

By Shweta Sengar

The SMT industry in India caters to the demand created by major industries ranging from telecommunications and automotive to medical electronics, defence and aerospace. These sectors are governed by ever changing technologies and, therefore, SMT equipment manufacturers and distributors face the challenge of being able to offer a range of diversified products at competitive prices. The demand for SMT products is rising at a fast pace, given the ‘Make in India’ campaign initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With more and more investments routed into the country by foreign companies and with the expansion plans of domestic firms, demand for SMT products is set to witness a huge surge in 2015. SMT distributors in India expect 2015 to be a great year for them. The demand created by the automotive, EMS and lighting industries, apart from others, is growing rapidly.

According to Alok Bathla, country manager, Maxim SMT, “Customers in India are not only looking at the best quality equipment but also a complete process solution. The SMT equipment distributors in India need to understand these expectations and provide a complete solution to their customers which includes tooling, jigs and fixtures and not limit themselves to being just bare equipment suppliers.”

Here, we list some leading SMT distributors in India. This list is prepared on the basis of the distributors’ clientele and the high-end machines they offer to the Indian manufacturing sector.
