ABB India Limited has released the transcript of its Analysts/Investors Call held on May 08, 2026, to discuss the unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The call featured insights from Mr. Sanjeev Sharma (Country Managing Director) and Mr. T.K. Sridhar (Chief Financial Officer), among other business leaders.
During the call, ABB India highlighted a resilient demand across all segments, with a 25% order growth and 6% revenue growth year-on-year. The company announced a significant investment of $75 million to expand manufacturing and R&D in India. Key operational highlights included the dispatch of the first locally manufactured wind power converter and the introduction of the ARTU Formula, a next-generation low-voltage switchgear platform. ABB India also emphasized its commitment to sustainability, reporting an 82% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and receiving recognition as one of the Most Sustainable Companies.
Financially, while orders showed strong momentum, revenue was slightly subdued at ₹3,184 crores, impacted by the West Asia crisis, commodity price fluctuations (copper, silver, aluminum), and currency depreciation. Profitability was also affected by these headwinds. The company maintains a strong cash position of ₹6,042 crores (excluding the robotics sale proceeds). The Electrification segment saw a 36% order growth, driven by data centers and buildings, while Motion grew by 22%, supported by orders from the rail and renewables sectors. Automation orders were more subdued due to slower decision-making in private capex.
Discussions also covered the robust demand in the data center sector, with ABB India's portfolio well-positioned to capture opportunities. The company confirmed the presence of price escalation clauses in long-term contracts to mitigate commodity inflation and stated that data center orders constitute approximately 12-13% of the total order book. ABB India reiterated its focus on customer needs and resilience amidst global uncertainties, leveraging its 75-year manufacturing experience in India.
