ABB India Limited reported strong performance for the July–September quarter (Q3) of calendar year 2026, supported by broad-based demand across industries and disciplined execution. The company recorded its highest-ever quarterly orders of ₹4,733 crore, registering 56% year-on-year growth over Q3 CY2025. Its order backlog stood at ₹12,927 crore at the end of the quarter, up 36% YoY, providing visibility for the coming quarters. Revenue for Q3 CY2026 increased 19% to ₹3,738 crore. Operational EBITA grew 15% to ₹484 crore, while profit after tax (PAT) rose 10% to ₹440 crore. EBITDA increased 14% to ₹552 crore. Profit before tax was up 10% at ₹581 crore.
Commenting on the results, Sanjeev Sharma, Country Managing Director, ABB India, said, “We delivered a strong third quarter, with record Q3 orders, revenue growth and a healthy backlog reflecting continued customer confidence in ABB’s technology and solutions. Demand remained broad-based across industries, supported by investments in productivity, energy efficiency and sustainable growth. Despite a dynamic operating environment, we maintained our focus on disciplined execution and operational performance. Looking ahead, India’s structural growth drivers in industrialisation, electrification, digitalisation and the energy transition continue to support attractive growth opportunities, positioning us well for the quarters ahead.”
Electrification led order growth, recording demand across its segments. Motion witnessed growth in select areas, particularly railways and services, while Automation registered an increase in export orders despite relatively muted activity. Key demand segments included data centres, utilities, metals and mining, food and beverage, cement, buildings and infrastructure.
Major orders during the quarter included low-voltage switchgear panels and compact secondary substations for data centre projects, e-houses, circuit breakers and renewable energy equipment under Electrification. Motion secured orders for railway propulsion equipment, motors and system drives for metals and mining, wind turbine converters and high-voltage synchronous motors. Automation orders included SCADA solutions for the oil and gas sector, measurement and analytics systems for mining, and control and instrumentation solutions for cement.
Operational EBITA margin stood at 12.9%, compared with 13.4% in Q3 CY2025, reflecting higher commodity and logistics costs, currency volatility, pricing pressure in select markets and lower volumes in certain businesses. EBITDA margin was 14.8%, against 15.5% a year earlier.
ABB India continued to advance its sustainability initiatives, achieving an approximately 85% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions year-to-date against its 2019 baseline. The company reaffirmed its RE100 commitment to source 100% renewable electricity and diverted 99.9% of waste from landfill. Its Peenya facility entered the final stage of Alliance for Water Stewardship certification. The company also conducted sustainability capability-building sessions for more than 200 focused suppliers.
ABB India expects demand to remain supported by investments in data centres, grid modernisation, renewable energy integration and energy-transition projects, alongside capital expenditure across metals, cement, rail and buildings. The company will focus on backlog execution, operational efficiencies and disciplined capacity expansion.
