According to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the manufacturing sector stood at USD 21.34 billion during 2022-23. Domestic manufacturing and foreign investments have also been focused on jointly attracting industrial plants, directly increasing the demand for gas valves. These trends have led manufacturers to create innovative, automated, and reliable valve systems that are in demand by the marketplace.

India Gas Valve Market Trends

• The Indian market for gas valve is being revolutionized by technological solutions and automation that enhance the efficiency, reliability, and safety of operations. By using actuators, sensors, IoT integration, and remote control capabilities, smart and automated valves are gradually replacing/traditional gas valves. These smart systems provide real-time monitoring of valve performance, gas flow, pressure, and temperature — all of which can help predict maintenance needs and prevent unintended downtime.
  
• In certain industries—such as oil & gas, power, and chemicals—where precision matters and safety are paramount, automated valves can react better to changes in the conditions of the system, preventing accidents or damage to equipment. For instance, in the case of a sudden pressure surge or gas leak,  an automated control valve can immediately recommend shut/close or gate or lower the flow without waiting for human intervention.
  
• Furthermore, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) integration in cloud-based platforms facilitates centralized monitoring of multiple valve systems across various facilities. This is especially useful in large-scale operations such as city gas distribution, and refineries where a lot of systems are based on LNG terminals.
  
• Trends toward Industry 4.0 are similarly driving both manufacturers and end-users to think about advanced technologies that enable data analytics, energy optimization, and smart diagnostics. These developments not only improve operational safety and efficiency but also assist in regulatory compliance by accurately monitoring emissions and usage of gas.
  

Trump Administration Tariffs

The 26% Tramp administration's active tariffs on Indian exports has broken into the Indian valve market, trumping the gas valve market largely served by industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals and manufacturing.

• This tariff further makes India gas valve manufacturer less competitive in the USA, thus may shift their export volumes. This would lead to a reduction in the income of Indian exporters and cause a trade imbalance.
  
• The higher tariffs are also increasing the cost of imported materials and parts used to manufacture gas valves. Manufacturers will have to choose between taking a hit on profits and keeping prices high, which will reduce demand.
  
• The Indian government is coordinating with U.S. to mitigate the impact of these tariffs on the final products. They have been talking about how to reduce tariffs on imports into the United States and increase trade between the two countries — with a target of $500 billion by 2030.

Based on valve type, the India gas valve industry is segmented into liquefied petroleum gas valve, cryogenic valve, and air separation valve. In 2024, the cryogenic valve segment generated a revenue of USD 134 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.2% during 2025 to 2034.

• India has been working to increase the import, storage, and distribution facilities of LNG to meet the growing need for cleaner fuels. India’s LNG import capacity will expand from 42.5 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) in 2023 to 70 MMTPA in 2030, said the directors of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB).
  
• LNG also has to be stored and transported at below -160°C, so the need for cryogenic valves is increasingly critical to ensure safe and effective operations under these conditions without leakage. The demand for these valves has been spurred by the government’s “gas-based economy” policy push, such as the expansion of city gas distribution (CGD) networks and the setting up of LNG terminals.
  
• Cryogenic valves are also being utilized in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing, where larger quantities of gas such as oxygen and nitrogen are needed, other than energy. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity of having reliable oxygen supply systems, thus promoting investments in cryogenic storage as well as delivery equipment including valves. For instance, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare claimed a 50% increase in oxygen storage capacity in 2021 that included cryogenic systems.
