Indigenous Development and Adoption of Robotic Surgical Systems
India’s telesurgery market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the emergence of indigenous robotic systems like the SSI Mantra, developed by SS Innovations. The regulatory approval of this system by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) represents a significant milestone in expanding remote surgical capabilities nationwide. Designed to be cost-effective and efficient, such systems are making advanced surgical care accessible in underserved and rural regions, addressing long-standing disparities in healthcare delivery. A landmark achievement came in 2025 when India successfully performed its first robotic cardiac telesurgery over a distance of 2,000 km using the SSI Mantra platform. SS Innovations plans to deploy over 1,000 robotic systems in Indian hospitals in the near-term, accelerating adoption across the healthcare landscape. Crucially, these homegrown systems are priced lower than their international counterparts, significantly improving market penetration. This shift not only boosts India’s self-reliance in med-tech innovation but also positions the country as a competitive global exporter of advanced surgical robotics.
Digital Infrastructure Expansion Enabling Remote Surgeries
The rapid expansion of India’s digital and healthcare infrastructure, driven by flagship initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and BharatNet, is creating a robust foundation for the widespread adoption of telesurgery. These initiatives are enhancing high-speed, low-latency connectivity, which is vital for seamless real-time video streaming and precision synchronization of surgical devices across vast distances. With over 214,000 gram panchayats connected via optical fiber under BharatNet as of October 2024, rural healthcare systems are gaining digital muscle to support remote interventions. Simultaneously, the rollout of 5G technology is expected to be a game-changer, enabling ultra-reliable, low-latency communication required for complex telesurgical procedures. India’s 5G subscriber base is projected to cross 770 million by 2028, laying the groundwork for real-time, high-definition medical data transfer. As connectivity and digital health systems mature, telesurgery is poised to evolve from sporadic pilot projects to routine, dependable medical interventions, especially in remote and underserved areas, fundamentally reshaping equitable access to specialized care across India.
