As the cleaning industry rapidly evolves, driven by technological advancements such as automation, robotics, and eco-friendly innovations, Indian manufacturers are stepping up to meet both local and international demands. The emphasis is now on adopting sophisticated technologies that not only enhance efficiency but also address sustainability. In this cover story, Clean India Journal interacts with some of the Indian manufacturers and international exporters to gain insights on the growing potential of India moving towards becoming a manufacturing hub for cleaning products.
We have evolved from producing machines with 50% Indian components to 95%, with only 5% imported. This is a true example of indigenisation of our joint venture with Borghi, Italy.”

Indian manufacturers are no longer limited to traditional methods of production; they are actively integrating next-generation technologies to cater to a rising demand for smart, efficient, and environment friendly cleaning solutions.
At the forefront of this transformation, leveraging AI, automation, and robotics to enhance supply chain management and product delivery, leading equipment suppliers and manufacturers have made significant strides in providing advanced technologies through mechanised cleaning.
“We are focusing on building eco-friendly, high-performance products,” says Vivek Mata, Managing Director, Charnock Equipments Pvt. Ltd. “Our trolleys made from recycled eco-plastics and the cleaning chemicals are bio-based”, which meet the global goals set for sustainability and net zero. Use of technology extends beyond products, like incorporating automated processes that reduce costs, the delivery time and maintain high-quality standards. These are some of the key drivers that sets India as a potential partner in the global cleaning products market. “These collaborations are vital in ensuring that Indian manufacturers have access to the latest technological advancements and global expertise.”
