At the NVIDIA AI Summit held in India, numerous consulting partners and industrial manufacturers expressed their adoption of NVIDIA Omniverse™ to integrate next-generation factories within virtual environments.

Indian manufacturers and service providers are leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse to accelerate factory planning and automation processes through simulation, digital twins, and generative AI, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.

Positioning itself as the next industrial manufacturing powerhouse, India has witnessed a surge in exports in recent years. According to Bain & Company, India's exports in sectors such as automobiles, industrial machinery, electronics, textiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals are projected to reach $1 trillion by 2028.

As India's manufacturing industry continues to expand rapidly, Indian manufacturers are increasingly adopting AI to digitalize processes and robots, thereby scaling operations to meet growing global demand.

This wave of manufacturing automation, leveraging Omniverse to construct virtual warehouses and production facilities, propels the next era of industrial and physical AI. Demonstrated at the NVIDIA AI Summit India in Mumbai, major industrial enterprises like Ola Electric, Reliance Industries, Tech Mahindra, and TCS are actively participating in this transformation.

Ola Accelerates Electric Scooter Production with Omniverse

India's largest electric scooter manufacturer, Ola Electric, announced the development of the Ola Digital Twin (ODT) platform on NVIDIA Omniverse. The company stated that the ODT platform has helped reduce their time-to-market for manufacturing processes from design to debugging by 20%.

Built on NVIDIA Isaac Sim™, Ola's digital twin platform leverages Omniverse's core technologies to generate synthetic data for training autonomous mobile robots and robotic arms. This includes OpenUSD for data interoperability, RTX for physically-based rendering, and generative AI for accelerating world-building.

Ola is utilizing this digital twin platform to plan and construct its next-generation future factory. This factory, set to become India's largest integrated automated electric two-wheeler manufacturing facility, will be completed in just eight months. The platform provides insights into factory and construction planning, quality inspection systems, production processes, and safety training. Ola is also using the digital twin to compare real-world and simulated environments for predictive maintenance.

Reliance Industries Plans Solar Panel Factory Using Omniverse

Reliance Industries, a leading Indian conglomerate with interests in energy, petrochemicals, natural gas, retail, entertainment, telecommunications, media, and textiles, is employing Omniverse to plan its new solar panel factory in Jamnagar, India.

This 5,000-acre integrated photovoltaic manufacturing facility will become India's largest gigawatt-scale solar factory, contributing to the company's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2035.

Reliance is using Omniverse to develop applications for 3D data management, virtual collaboration, simulation, and operational optimization. By integrating data for planning, design, automation, operations, sustainability, and employee training, the company is preparing for the upcoming launch of its Jamnagar superfactory.

The company is also developing SimReady virtual factory assets based on OpenUSD, including buildings, manufacturing equipment, robots, kinematics, and material and product models, while simulating logistics and human workers.

Leading System Integrators Drive Industrial AI Adoption in India

System integrators play a crucial role in assisting large Indian manufacturers in building next-generation factories using NVIDIA technology.

Leading consulting firms such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Tech Mahindra are developing industrial AI applications and services on Omniverse to help manufacturers develop digital twins and leverage them to accelerate factory planning, optimize processes, train robots, and achieve large-scale automation.

TCS announced the development of a digital twin solution built on NVIDIA Omniverse to help manufacturers design, simulate, operate, and optimize products and production facilities across multiple industries.

From constructing virtual factories for real-time planning and monitoring to creating digital twins of aircraft components for immersive training and predictive maintenance, use cases span virtually all aspects of heavy manufacturing.

TCS also uses Omniverse to simulate self-driving cars, enabling automakers to simulate and validate complex driving scenarios without physical testing. Additionally, the company's smart agriculture digital twin integrates real-world physical characteristics to improve equipment performance through simulated agricultural scenarios.

Furthermore, TCS has introduced TCS Manufacturing AI for Industrials. Built on the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform, including NVIDIA NeMo™ for building and managing the entire lifecycle of AI applications, this generative AI solution transforms general-purpose large language models (LLMs) into manufacturing expert AI agents, providing real-time, industry-specific insights for customers' various production facilities. These agent-based AIs can connect to virtual factories developed on Omniverse to enhance facility planning, design, and operations.

Tech Mahindra, a global leading technology consulting company, announced the establishment of a center of excellence powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Omniverse. The center aims to drive the development of sovereign LLM frameworks, agent-based AI, and physical AI.

Tech Mahindra's center of excellence uses NVIDIA Omniverse to develop interconnected industrial AI digital twins and physical AI applications for clients across industries, including manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, healthcare, banking, financial services, and insurance.

Other leading system integrators like Wipro and Infosys are also building solutions using the NVIDIA AI stack and expanding into the physical AI domain through Omniverse.
