A key driver of the market is the rising role of private companies in India’s seed sector. In 2020-21, the share of the private sector in seed production grew from 57.28% to 64.46%. The sector now plays a significant role in supplying quality seeds of vegetables and crops like rice, bajra, cotton, and sunflower. Many private entities are getting attracted towards seed companies and are investing in them, aiding the seeds demand growth in the country. As of 2024, Kalash Seeds Pvt Ltd., a leading seed organisation in India, dominates the vegetable seed market in the supply of chilli, pumpkin, beetroot, onion, broccoli, and muskmelon.
Government policies and provisions are also positively influencing the India seeds market revenue. The efforts of the State Governments in producing seed varities of national importance are being supported by the National Seeds Corporation (NSC) and State Farms Corporation of India (SFCI). Furthermore, with the continuous efforts of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), there has also been a steady increase in the production of breeder seeds over the years. Other major drivers of the market include rising population levels, increased agricultural activity, and upcoming digital technologies to diminish the effects of pests, and climate, amongst other variables, on crops.
Technologies such as nano fertilizers, growing demand for rice domestically and globally, and use of hybrid seeds are supporting the India seeds market value.
Nano urea, a development of nanotechnology, is helping Indian farmers increase the productivity of their seeds. The use of this fertilizer is also being encouraged by the Indian Government, as an alternative to traditional urea which is heavily imported, raising the input cost of farmers to extreme levels.
Hybrid seeds have brought a major transformation in the market by increasing the productivity of seeds, providing uniformity in yield, and introducing resistance against disease-causing pests. The government is encouraging their use by distributing free of cost hybrid seed kits, providing subsidies on hybrid seed purchases and so on. The introduction of gene editing technologies for hybrid seed production is also providing a major boost to seeds demand.
Due to the country's diverse agroclimatic zones, which offer ideal growing conditions for rice, rice is becoming more and more popular in India. A lot of Indian farmers find rice to be an appealing alternative because of its steady demand and stable market.

The country is engaged in the process of developing genetically modified seeds for 13 different plants with improved yield and quality.
The market players are increasingly receiving government support to improve the quality of seeds, which in turn helps improve sales.
