ABB India Posts Record Orders And Strong Revenue Growth

ABB India reported record fourth quarter orders, the highest in five years, supported by strong base business momentum and large contract timing. The business secured orders of Rs 40.96 billion (bn) in the fourth quarter and Rs 141.15 bn for CY2025, with fourth quarter orders rising 52 per cent year on year.

Revenues increased across all business areas, driven by domestic demand and higher export volumes, resulting in Rs 35.57 bn in the quarter and Rs 132.03 bn for the calendar year. Electrification divisions recorded higher export revenue from distribution solutions and smart power, while Automation saw mixed outcomes as energy industries improved but process industries moderated.

Profit before tax was Rs 5.78 bn for the quarter and Rs 22.30 bn for the year, with profit margins under pressure from material cost inflation, foreign exchange impacts, imported component use and labour code related expenses. The fourth quarter profit before tax margin was 16.2 per cent and the annual margin was 16.9 per cent, while profit after tax for the year was Rs 16.69 bn and earnings per share for CY2025 were Rs 78.73.

Order backlog remained robust at Rs 104.71 bn at the end of December, providing visibility for future revenue conversion, and the company highlighted significant wins across data centres, automotive, rail and metals. Key scope included low voltage switchgear, robotics and propulsion systems, and supply and integration of a 34 Megawatt (MW) Ethylene Cracker Compressor system, reflecting diversified sectoral demand.

The company reported a cash balance of Rs 56.94 bn and said working capital was intentionally higher due to inventory build to support backlog deliveries, with improving free cash flow conversion. ABB India advanced sustainability commitments with 70 per cent of locations zero waste to landfill and water positive, ESG initiatives covering 51 per cent of suppliers by spend, and the board recommended a final dividend of Rs 29.59 per share, taking total dividends for the year to Rs 39.36 per share.
