ABB India reported its highest-ever second-quarter order intake of Rs 4,363 crore for the quarter ended June 2026, up 50% year-on-year from Rs 2,917 crore a year earlier, 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 expanding by 20 basis points to 13.0%, even as the company absorbed higher freight, energy and commodity costs, including copper, silver and electrical steel.
The company said the strong quarter was driven by demand across electrification, data centres, renewables, metals and infrastructure, with higher volumes, effective pricing and continued cost optimisation supporting profitability.
ABB India’s board also declared a special dividend of Rs 90 per equity share alongside the results.
The record order book gives the company strong revenue visibility for the coming quarters, since large electrification and automation contracts of this scale are typically executed over an extended delivery period.
ABB India’s growth was supported by strong demand across electrification, data centres, renewables, metals and infrastructure, sectors that have driven a broader capital expenditure upswing in Indian industry this year.
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.
