Thats a tough question. 
Industrial revolution was hallmark to Britain and Western Europe. So technology mostly came after the East India Company (English & Dutch business venture) settled in. Before the British Rule, India did not have railroads, heavy machineries etc (in general). However, there’s always been plenty of raw material that fueled the industrial revolution – namely iron ore, cotton, coal. Here’s a wiki page that might be helpful.
