Orders
Total orders for the third quarter were INR 3,233
crore. Motion and Robotics and Discrete Automation led the way with robust
order growth. Electrification had a large data center order in the same quarter
last year while Process Automation also followed the overall order plateau
trend for the quarter.
Order wins spanned across wind converters for
renewables, robotics for EV mobility (automotive) and mobile phone assembly
(electronics), process automation and drives solutions for metals, insulated
case circuit breakers and fault current limiters for a power distribution
equipment company, and electricals and instrumentation for a global leader in
food, beverage, and pharma systems. Opportunities also included gas
chromatographs and oxygen analyzers for a leading integrated energy
major.
ABB India continues to have a strong order backlog as
of September 30, 2025, at INR 9,895 crore, which provides good revenue
visibility and is well aligned to support growth plans in the coming quarters.
Revenues
The Company reported INR 3,311 crore revenue for the
quarter, up by 14 percent YoY and 4 percent sequentially. All business areas
posted a growth in revenue during the quarter led by Robotics and Discrete
Automation. It was evenly balanced in Electrification with all divisions
posting growth. Revenue growth in Motion was led by execution of traction
motors orders. Process Automation was a mixed bag with energy industries
offsetting the growth in process industries and measurement and analytics due
to readjusted schedules by customers driven by market requirements.
Operations
The quarter was an engaging one with an announcement
of investment for rare earth free IE5 motors. ABB India has successfully
commissioned its ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage solution for THINK Gas Pvt. Ltd.
(formerly AG&P Pratham), enabling end-to-end automation and digitalization
of their City Gas Distribution (CGD) network spanning ten Indian states and 500
fuel stations. This was also the quarter where ABB India marked 30 years of
being listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Profit and cash flow from operating activities
The company reported a Profit before tax (before
exceptional items and one-offs) of INR 542 crore for the quarter. Profitability
reflected rising material costs mainly due to revenue mix and reliance on
imports to support delivery commitments in the wake of QCO compliance.
Profit after tax reported at INR 409 crore for the
quarter.
The company’s cash position continues to remain robust
at INR 4,991 crore at the end of Q3 CY2025, buoyed by consistent efforts in
collection, also includes significantly higher dividend payouts as compared to
YTD last year and inventory accumulation for quality control order
adjustments.
Sustainability in practice
The focus on sustainable operations continued in Q3 CY
2025 with most targets on track. Reduction in GHG emissions (scope 1 and 2) as
compared to 2019 baseline till YTD was at 87.05 percent. Significant strides
were made in water positivity three out of four locations achieved and zero
waste to landfill, all four locations achieved the target.
Outlook
ABB India is well-positioned to capitalize on a
resilient macroeconomic environment and strong government-led industrial
momentum. Easing inflation, GST rationalization, and sustained public
capex—particularly in infrastructure, railways, and green energy—are driving
consumption and demand recovery. While private and industrial capex remains
selective, growth is evident in high-potential sectors such as renewables, data
centers, electronics, process industries, oil & gas, food & beverage,
and water. With a diversified portfolio spanning 23 business segments and deep
expertise in automation, electrification, and digitalization, ABB India is
agile in addressing these opportunities. The company continues to gain traction
in energy-efficient technologies, AI-driven automation, and grid modernization.
Despite global trade uncertainties and financial market volatility, ABB India’s
strong localization strategy, healthy order pipeline, and alignment with
national priorities reinforce its resilience and readiness to drive sustainable
growth in India’s evolving industrial landscape.
ABB is a global
technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more
sustainable and resource-efficient future. By connecting its engineering and
digitalization expertise, ABB helps industries run at high performance, while
becoming more efficient, productive and sustainable so they outperform. At ABB,
we call this ‘Engineered to Outrun’. The company has over 140 years of history
and around 110,000 employees worldwide.www.abb.com

*Operational EBITA
Operational EBITA margin is Operational EBITA as a
percentage of Operational revenues. Operational EBITA is Operational earnings
before interest, taxes and acquisition-related amortization. Operational EBITA
represents income from operations excluding:
•
acquisition-related
amortization (as defined below),
•
restructuring, related and
implementation costs,
•
changes in the amount
recorded for obligations related to divested businesses occurring after the
divestment date (changes in obligations related to divested businesses),
•
changes in estimates
relating to opening balance sheets of acquired businesses (changes in pre-acquisition
estimates),
•
gains and losses from sale
of businesses,
•
acquisition- and
divestment-related expenses and integration costs,
•
certain other
non-operational items, as well as
•
foreign exchange/commodity
timing differences in income from operations consisting of: (a) unrealized
gains and losses on derivatives (foreign exchange, commodities, embedded
derivatives), (b) realized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying
hedged transaction has not yet been realized, and (c) unrealized foreign exchange
movements on receivables/payables (and related assets/liabilities).
Certain other non-operational items generally
include certain regulatory, compliance and legal costs, certain asset write
downs/impairments as well as other items which are determined by management on
a case-by-case basis.
Operational EBITA is our measure of segment profit
but is also used by management to evaluate the profitability of the Company as
a whole.
ABB India follows a calendar year of January to
December as the accounting period.
