ABB India Limited has announced a significant investment of approximately $75 million in 2026 to bolster its manufacturing and research and development (R&D) capabilities in India. This investment, in addition to the $35 million spent in 2025, underscores ABB's commitment to its 'local-for-local' strategy, with about 85% of products sold in India now manufactured locally. The expansion will support growth across ABB's Electrification, Motion, and Automation business areas, driven by strong demand in energy transition, grid modernization, data centers, and transportation segments.
Key investments include expanding production in Bengaluru (Nelamangala campuses and Peenya), Hyderabad, Nashik, and Vadodara. In Bengaluru, $14 million will enhance converter manufacturing for sustainable mobility and expand power protection solutions, while $21 million in Peenya will boost low-voltage drives and specialized motor production. Hyderabad will see a $12 million investment for R&D labs, with a new High Power lab planned. Nashik will receive $22 million to expand circuit breaker and Vacuum Interrupter production, and Vadodara will get $6 million to scale up synchronous generators and induction motors.
This strategic capital expenditure is expected to create over 300 new skilled jobs in engineering, operations, and research. ABB's revenue in India exceeded $1.5 billion in 2025, representing approximately 4% of the ABB Group's total. The company operates with over 10,000 employees across five major locations and numerous manufacturing, distribution, and R&D facilities in India.
