ABB India reported an 8 per cent year-on-year rise in profit after tax to Rs 370 crore for the April-June quarter of CY2026, compared with Rs 343 crore in the corresponding period of CY2025. The company’s board also declared a special dividend of Rs 90 per equity share with a face value of Rs 2.

Revenue increased by 21 per cent to a record Rs 3,559 crore during the quarter, from Rs 2,940 crore a year earlier. Operational EBITA rose by 23 per cent to Rs 461 crore, while the operational EBITA margin improved by 20 basis points to 13 per cent.

ABB India secured record second-quarter orders worth Rs 4,363 crore, registering a 50 per cent increase from Rs 2,917 crore in Q2 CY2025. Orders during the first half of CY2026 rose by 36 per cent to Rs 8,643 crore.

The company’s order backlog reached Rs 11,898 crore at the end of the quarter, up 22 per cent year-on-year, providing strong revenue visibility for the coming quarters.

Order growth was recorded across all business areas, led by electrification, motion and automation. Demand was supported by investments in metals and mining, data centres, renewable energy, cement, automotive, food and beverage, and building infrastructure.

Key orders included low- and medium-voltage switchgear for data centres, smart power products for renewable energy projects, electrical and drive systems for container terminals, e-houses for the metals sector and propulsion equipment for locomotives.

Sanjeev Sharma, Country Managing Director, ABB India, said the record orders, strong revenue growth and higher operational earnings reflected the company’s ability to convert market demand into profitable growth.

ABB India expects demand to remain supported by long-term investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, electrification, grid modernisation, automation and energy transition. However, margins may remain exposed to commodity prices, currency movements, competition and geopolitical uncertainty.

The company also reported progress on sustainability, diverting 99.7 per cent of waste from landfills during H1 CY2026 and reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 85 per cent against its 2019 baseline.
