Siemens says India is becoming a major hub for industrial AI development as the company deepens collaboration with NVIDIA across automation, digital twins, and AI-driven manufacturing systems.
Siemens is expanding its industrial AI development efforts in India as part of its broader collaboration with NVIDIA to build AI-powered industrial operating systems for manufacturing, infrastructure, and transportation sectors.
The company said its India operations are playing a central role in integrating artificial intelligence, digital twins, automation, and simulation technologies into industrial production systems designed for large-scale deployment across global industries.
According to Siemens, more than 10,000 software and AI specialists in India are contributing to the development of technologies supporting industrial AI applications across design, engineering, and operational workflows.
The collaboration combines NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI platforms with Siemens’ industrial software, automation systems, and digital engineering technologies.
The companies said the combined platform enables manufacturers to simulate factories before construction, train AI systems in virtual environments, and deploy software-defined manufacturing systems capable of adapting production processes more efficiently.
Roland Busch said industrial AI is becoming increasingly important for competitiveness, resilience, and sustainability across industrial sectors.
“Industrial AI is a core capability to make our customers more competitive, resilient and sustainable. And for the Indian economy it is the key lever for growth and prosperity,” Busch said.
“Together with our partner NVIDIA, we are building the industrial AI operating system to connect AI to real production systems at scale. Siemens’ and NVIDIA’s teams in India will play a leading role to integrate Industrial AI along the entire value chain from design, engineering, and operations,” he added.
India is increasingly emerging as a strategic market for industrial AI deployment as manufacturers accelerate investments in semiconductors, electronics, electric mobility, clean energy, and advanced industrial automation.
The country currently ranks third globally in AI competitiveness and first in AI skill penetration, according to Siemens.
The company said Indian enterprises are already adopting technologies such as digital twins, collaborative robots, humanoid robots, and AI-powered industrial simulation systems across manufacturing and infrastructure projects.
Siemens is also integrating AI-native workflows into broader industrial automation systems through partnerships with product engineering and software teams globally.
Alongside software development, Siemens said its technologies are supporting infrastructure requirements linked to AI-driven manufacturing, including electrification systems, grid integration, data center infrastructure, and AI-ready industrial facilities.
The company noted that India’s expanding data center and compute infrastructure ecosystem is becoming increasingly important for supporting AI-driven production systems and industrial automation.
On March 6, Siemens will host Transform – Siemens India Innovation Day 2026, bringing together more than 500 customers and ecosystem partners to demonstrate industrial AI deployments across manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors.
The event will showcase applications involving digital twins, AI-driven simulation, software-defined automation, smart infrastructure systems, resilient power grids, and sustainable mobility technologies.
The latest expansion highlights India’s growing role in global industrial AI development as multinational engineering and technology firms increase investments in AI-enabled manufacturing and infrastructure systems.
