You may import it under concessional rate of duty for re-export purpose.  Provisions of  FEMA will also be applicable.

AI Summary

Concessional customs duty for re-export permits importing goods for repair with FEMA compliance and re-export obligations. Importation of machinery for repair with return to the overseas owner may be admitted at a concessional rate of duty on condition of re-export, and such transactions remain subject to FEMA compliance, applicable customs procedures, re-export obligations, and possible service tax consequences.
