ABB India reports record order growth in Q4 despite margin pressures
NEW
DELHI, FEBRUARY 20, 2026 : ABB India announced its highest
fourth-quarter order intake in the last five years, with a remarkable 52% surge
in orders for the fourth quarter (October-December), which reached INR 4,096
crore. This strong quarterly performance contributed to a record-high order
intake of INR 14,115 crore for the full year 2025, an 8% increase
year-over-year, signaling strong momentum and a robust demand environment.
This
impressive growth was driven by a strong development in the base business,
complemented by the timely booking of significant large orders from key growth
sectors. During the quarter, the company saw high demand from data centers,
automotive, buildings and infrastructure, railways, and metals industries. This
surge has resulted in a record order backlog of INR 10,471 crore as of December
31, 2025, a 12% increase from the previous year. This substantial backlog
provides excellent revenue visibility and a solid foundation for growth in the
coming periods.
“2025
was a year of steady progress for ABB India, underscored by the proud milestone
of completing 75 years of manufacturing in the country. As we step into 2026,
our record order book and highest-ever revenues reflect the strength of our
disciplined execution and the resilience of our teams. In the fourth quarter,
we continued to ramp up orders and revenues despite margin pressures from
volatile input costs. Our diversified portfolio and technology driven solutions
allow us to navigate varied sectoral cycles with confidence, reinforcing the
robustness of our business model. Customers rely on ABB for our innovation
leadership, trusted partnerships, and an integrated ecosystem built over
decades. Sustainability remains central to everything we do, and we continue to
advance meaningful improvements across our operations, supply chain, and
customer engagements. With strong leadership across divisions and a clear focus
on agility, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth and long-term
value for all stakeholders in the year ahead,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Managing
Director, ABB India.
Alongside
the exceptional order growth, ABB India reported its highest-ever revenue of
INR 13,203 crore for the full year, an 8% increase compared to 2024. All
business areas contributed to the revenue growth during the quarter. While the
company successfully navigated margin pressures from volatile input costs and
increased labor expenses, its disciplined execution and focus on
technology-driven solutions have solidified its market position.
Looking
ahead to 2026, ABB India is well-positioned to capitalize on sustained
investments in infrastructure, grid modernization, renewables, and
digitalization. The company’s strong presence across 23 market segments aligns
with continued capital expenditure expected in chemicals, pharmaceuticals,
automotive, and water, reinforcing its long-term growth outlook.
Reflecting
its solid performance and confidence in the future, the Board has recommended a
final dividend of INR 29.59 per share. The company also advanced its
sustainability goals, with ESG initiatives now covering 51% of its suppliers
and achieving significant milestones in water stewardship and waste reduction.
