MUMBAI, February 17, 2026 — India has entered a transformative era of industrialization, driven by a major collaboration between NVIDIA, global software leaders, and the nation’s largest manufacturers to build “AI factories“ for design and production. As India invests $134 billion in new manufacturing capacity across sectors like automotive, renewable energy, and robotics, this partnership aims to leverage AI to modernize how physical products are designed and operated.
Building Software-Defined Factories
Central to this industrial shift is the integration of global software from Cadence, Siemens, and Synopsys with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure, specifically the CUDA-X and Omniverse libraries. These technologies allow manufacturers to connect data from the initial design phase through to live operations, bringing “physical AI” into warehouses and factories.
Several Indian industry leaders are already deploying these advanced tools:
- Reliance New Energy is utilizing Siemens’ digital twin technology and NVIDIA Omniverse for the precise simulation and design of its next-generation clean energy gigafactories.
- Addverb Technologies is training its humanoid and quadruped robots in simulated environments using digital twins created with Siemens’ software and NVIDIA’s Cosmos world foundation models.
- Hero MotoCorp is accelerating its product development lifecycle by using NVIDIA infrastructure and Siemens Xcelerator to enhance computer-aided engineering and virtual verification.
Accelerating Engineering and Design
The partnership also focuses on rapid design iteration in the electronics and energy sectors. Havells India Limited has reported achieving 6x faster fluid dynamic simulations using Synopsys tools powered by NVIDIA CUDA-X, allowing for more energy-efficient product designs and a faster time to market. Additionally, Larsen & Toubro Semiconductor is utilizing Cadence software accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs to shorten the design cycles for next-generation AI chips.
The Rise of Industrial Automation and Physical AI
India’s powerful IT sector is also pivoting toward industrial AI applications. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is currently transforming standard camera feeds into intelligent sensors for safety and quality checks at Tata Motors using the NVIDIA Metropolis platform. TCS is further deploying quadruped robots for autonomous safety inspections to minimize risks in complex manufacturing environments.
Other notable advancements include:
- Wipro PARI is integrating NVIDIA Isaac and Omniverse to provide real-time simulation and virtual stress-testing of robotic workflows before they are physically deployed.
- Tata Consulting Engineers has launched a “Cognitive Twin” platform to create real-time simulations for infrastructure and energy projects, with pilot programs already underway for the National High Speed Rail Corporation and the Power Grid Corporation of India.
This massive technological push, highlighted at the NVIDIA GTC event, positions India at the forefront of the global AI boom, transforming its manufacturing landscape into a software-defined powerhouse.
