As India accelerates its energy transition, the demand for robust and efficient power transmission systems is rising rapidly. At the heart of this transformation lies a critical yet often overlooked component transformer bushings. Acting as essential insulating and current-carrying elements, bushings are key to ensuring safe and efficient power flow in transformers across utility, industrial, and renewable energy sectors.

According to the India Transformer Bushing Market Report, the market is poised for significant expansion through 2032, driven by upgrades in aging infrastructure, increasing grid capacity, and the rapid integration of renewables into the national grid.

What’s Driving the India Transformer Bushing Market?

India’s power demand is projected to double by 2040, and transmission & distribution (T&D) networks are under immense pressure to modernize. This is fueling consistent investments in power transformers, GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear) stations, and smart substations—each requiring high-quality transformer bushings for reliable performance.

Key growth factors include:

• Government initiatives like Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS)

• Rising installations of solar and wind energy projects

• Expansion of HV and EHV (Extra High Voltage) transmission infrastructure

• Growing demand for oil-impregnated paper (OIP) and resin-impregnated paper (RIP) bushings

• Import substitution through Make in India policies and domestic manufacturing incentives
