Inc42 published a list of five manufacturing startups to watch in July 2026.
The featured startups are Albatross Energetics, IndigoTex, REGRIP, and Rymo Technologies.
Albatross Energetics makes liquid desiccant-based air treatment systems for humidity control.
IndigoTex develops wool-denim fabrics using proprietary textile technology.
REGRIP develops refurbished tyres and digital tyre management solutions for fleet operators.
Rymo Technologies develops portable rehabilitation robots and medical devices.
Each startup was selected for its innovation in the manufacturing sector.

India's HVAC market is projected to grow from $12.14 Bn in 2025 to $17.41 Bn by 2030.
The global sustainable fabrics industry is expected to grow from $36.8 Bn in 2025 to $120 Bn by 2035.
India generates roughly 2.8 Mn metric tonnes of waste tyres annually, and the tyre recycling market is projected to reach $3.05 Bn by 2033.
India's rehabilitation sector demand is rising due to an increase in neurological disorders and sports-related injuries.
