04 Aug 2025 CW Team

ABB India posted a 12 per cent revenue growth for the April–June quarter and a 7 per cent increase for the first half of CY2025. The company’s order backlog reached Rs 100.64 billion, marking a historic milestone. While total orders declined to Rs 30.36 billion in Q2 and Rs 67.87 billion for H1 CY2025 due to the absence of large contract wins compared to the same period last year, base orders remained strong. The company attributed the short-term dip to cyclical corrections in the market and the timing of large deals in Electrification and Motion segments.

Profit margins remained in the double digits for the eleventh consecutive quarter, though forex volatility and one-off costs impacted profitability. ABB India also earned a “strong” sustainability rating from CRISIL, underscoring its robust ESG initiatives. The Board declared an interim dividend of Rs 9.77 per equity share.

Commenting on the results, Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB India, noted that while some sectors experienced a slowdown in orders, the company expects a gradual demand recovery amid easing inflation and expanding market reach. He also highlighted ABB India’s progress on its sustainability goals, particularly in water stewardship, and lauded the CRISIL rating as a reflection of the team’s commitment to responsible growth.

Key sectors contributing to order inflow included railways, metros, electric two-wheelers, mining, pulp and paper, paints, electronics, and industries requiring reliable power distribution and energy efficiency systems. Despite macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges, ABB India remains optimistic about growth in the near to medium term across multiple segments.
