ABB India’s orders jumped 50% year-on-year to a record Rs 4,363 crore for the quarter ended June 2026, up from Rs 2,917 crore, the company said in results announced on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Revenue from operations rose 21% year-on-year to Rs 3,558.87 crore, while net profit for the quarter increased 3% year-on-year to Rs 362.30 crore.
Operational EBITA rose 23% year-on-year to Rs 461 crore, with margins up 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, supported by higher volumes and cost optimisation.
The board also declared a special dividend of Rs 90 per equity share alongside the results.
The record order book gives ABB India strong revenue visibility for coming quarters, as large electrification and automation contracts are typically delivered over an extended period.
The company said margins were partly offset by higher freight, energy and commodity costs, including copper, silver and electrical steel, even as pricing strategies and cost optimisation helped protect profitability.
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.
