ABB India’s order intake surged 50% year-on-year to a record Rs 4,363 crore for the quarter ended June 2026, up from Rs 2,917 crore a year earlier, the company said in results announced on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Revenue from operations grew 21% year-on-year to Rs 3,558.87 crore, while net profit for the quarter rose 3% year-on-year to Rs 362.30 crore.
Operational EBITA increased 23% year-on-year to Rs 461 crore, with margins improving by 20 basis points to 13.0%, even as higher freight, energy and commodity costs, including copper, silver and electrical steel, weighed on the business.
The company said demand across electrification, data centres, renewables, metals and infrastructure drove the quarter’s performance, with higher volumes and cost optimisation supporting profitability.
Alongside the results, ABB India’s board declared a special dividend of Rs 90 per equity share.
The record order book gives the company solid revenue visibility going forward, since large electrification and automation contracts of this scale are typically delivered over several quarters.
ABB India is the local listed arm of Swiss-Swedish engineering group ABB, and supplies electrification, automation and robotics equipment to sectors ranging from utilities to manufacturing across the country.
A record quarterly order intake typically signals revenue visibility for several quarters ahead, since large electrification and automation contracts are usually executed over an extended delivery timeline.
ABB India reports its results on a calendar-year basis, meaning the quarter covered in this announcement runs from April to June 2026, aligning with the global parent company’s own reporting calendar.
The half-year period through June 2026 has also seen steady order momentum for the company, building on a broader capital expenditure cycle across Indian utilities, manufacturing and data centre construction.
ABB India’s growth was supported by strong demand across electrification, data centres, renewables, metals and infrastructure, sectors that have driven a broader capital expenditure upswing in Indian industry this year.
