India’s reported robotic-assisted surgery volume rose from 8,912 procedures in 2021 to 44,857 in 2025, according to data presented at the Society of Robotic Surgery India 2026 conference and reported by PTI in The Economic Times. Delhi NCR led the reported figures, with 10,937 procedures and 39 hospitals with robotic systems in 2025. These are conference-reported counts, not independently verified national totals.
How quickly is robotic surgery growing in India?
The reported national annual procedure count increased about fivefold between 2021 and 2025. The figures below were presented at the Society of Robotic Surgery India 2026 conference, as reported by PTI/The Economic Times; they should be read as reported activity rather than an independently validated census.
| Year | Reported procedures in India | Reported procedures in Delhi NCR |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 8,912 | 2,257 |
| 2022 | Not stated in the report | 3,594 |
| 2023 | Not stated in the report | 5,024 |
| 2024 | Not stated in the report | 7,595 |
| 2025 | 44,857 | 10,937 |
National figures for the intervening years are not stated in the cited report. The reported series indicates a sharp rise, but it does not explain how hospitals contributed to the counts or whether the same reporting method was used in every year.
Why does Delhi NCR lead the reported figures?
Delhi NCR had 39 hospitals with robotic systems in 2025, including 11 hospitals that reportedly had more than one system. Its 10,937 procedures represented roughly one quarter of the 44,857 procedures reported nationally that year. The report describes the region as the leading hub by installations and procedure volume.
#1 Best Overall
- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
- Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
That is an absolute-volume comparison. The report does not provide population-adjusted access, utilization per system or hospital, costs, patient eligibility, or comparative clinical outcomes. A high installation count therefore shows concentration of infrastructure, not that outcomes are better or that services are equally accessible across the region.

| Specialty | Share of reported procedures |
|---|---|
| Benign general surgery | 33% |
| Urology | 30.2% |
| Gynaecology | 22.1% |
| Malignant general surgery | 10% |
The report also names head and neck, thoracic, and cardiac surgery among areas where robotic procedures are performed, but does not give their shares. The percentages above are the reported Delhi NCR mix, not a national specialty breakdown.
What does “robotic surgery” mean here?
The figures concern robotic-assisted procedures. In this model, a surgeon operates the system’s controls; the robot is a tool used in the procedure, not an independent decision-maker. The report describes surgeons using robotic systems, including remotely, but does not describe autonomous surgery in which a robot independently makes operative decisions.
Rank #3

Could telesurgery bring specialists to patients outside major cities?
The report describes two distinct remote-surgery examples. Dr Anup Kumar performed a remote robotic procedure from Gurugram on a patient at Preeti Kidney and Urology Hospital in Hyderabad, a distance the report gives as more than 1,600 km. Separately, Dr Vivek Bindal led a pre-clinical, cross-border demonstration involving BORNS Robotics: surgeons at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Vaishali, operated a robotic console nearly 5,000 km away in Chengdu, China. The latter was a pre-clinical demonstration, not the same event as the patient procedure.
Remote systems may have future uses in specialist access, mentoring, and training for Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The report presents these as possibilities, not as evidence that telesurgery is a routine service in those locations. Broader use would depend on reliable connectivity, cybersecurity, training and credentialing, emergency preparedness, and regulation. A 2026 international consensus paper on remote robotic-assisted surgery in the World Journal of Surgery addresses those areas; the cited news report does not provide enough detail to support patient-specific safety conclusions. Patients should discuss suitable procedures and care arrangements with their treating clinicians.

What the reported growth does—and does not—show
The figures indicate expanding reported use and a concentration of systems and procedures in Delhi NCR. They do not establish whether robotic-assisted surgery is preferable for a particular patient, how its costs compare with other approaches, or whether outcomes differ between hospitals or techniques. The cited report does not provide platform-by-platform comparisons, cost data, surgeon experience, system utilization, or clinical outcomes. Those details matter when assessing a hospital or treatment option.
The Economic Times/PTI report attributes to Union Health Minister J P Nadda the view that “India has the opportunity not merely to adopt the technology of the future but innovate, develop and lead.” It also quotes Dr Anup Kumar describing the country as “at a defining moment in robotic surgery,” and Dr Vivek Bindal calling Delhi NCR “a leading force” in the country’s robotic-surgery journey. These statements express the speakers’ assessments; the reported counts alone do not establish future leadership or clinical advantage.
