India's Home Services Industry in 2026: Providers, Categories, and Data

Home services in India — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting, deep cleaning, pest control, appliance repair, and specialty handyman work — has become one of the fastest-formalising sectors of the informal economy. Aggregate spend crossed ₹1.4 lakh crore in FY2025, split roughly 92% independent contractors and 8% aggregator-mediated (Urban Company, Housejoy, NoBroker Services, Bookmyservice).

For B2B teams — appliance OEMs after installation partners, insurance embedded providers, credit-and-BNPL, SaaS field-service platforms — the addressable universe is fragmented across a long tail of solo tradesmen and a rapidly organising middle. Our verified India home services directory consolidates the discoverable providers into a single CSV.

Market shape

Urban Company dominates the aggregator layer (~85% share of app-book service revenue) with strongest depth in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune. Independent contractors — plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters — account for the vast majority of household spend and typically operate at PIN-code level with WhatsApp and repeat referrals.

Who regulates what

• State labour departments — trade licensing where applicable
• Municipal corporations — building-work permits
• MoRTH + FMVSS-adjacent — for HVAC gas handling
• Skill India / NSDC — trade certification (Plumber, Electrician, HVAC)
