ABB India Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹370.07 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, rising from ₹342.55 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This growth was supported by an increase in total income from operations, which reached ₹3,558.87 crore compared to ₹2,940.47 crore year-on-year. The results reflect sustained operational strength across its business segments during the first quarter of FY27.

The financial results were filed with stock exchanges under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB India Limited, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on July 31, 2026. The full format of the quarterly results is available on the company’s website and exchange portals.

Financial Highlights

The company’s net profit before tax stood at ₹498.77 crore, unchanged between standalone and consolidated figures. Total comprehensive income for the period was reported at ₹360.33 crore, down slightly from ₹1,677.51 crore in the previous year ended December 31, 2025, reflecting the impact of comparative base effects.

What the Numbers Show

A notable aspect of the filing is the divergence between continuing and discontinued operations. While continuing operations generated a basic earnings per share (EPS) of ₹17.46, discontinued operations resulted in a loss of ₹0.37 per share. In the corresponding quarter of the previous year, discontinued operations had contributed ₹0.43 per share to earnings. This shift indicates that non-core activities are no longer providing a tailwind to overall profitability, placing greater emphasis on the core business performance for future growth trajectories.

ABB India Limited has fixed August 07, 2026, as the record date for its special dividend of ₹90 per equity share, to be paid on or before August 29, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the payout during its meeting on July 31, 2026, following a strong second quarter of FY27 where total orders surged 50% year-on-year to ₹4,363 crore and profit after tax (PAT) rose 8% to ₹370 crore. This distribution reflects management’s confidence in the company’s robust cash generation capabilities and strong balance sheet position.

The dividend applies to 21,19,08,375 equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each. Shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members or in depository records as beneficial owners on the record date will be eligible for the payment. The Board meeting commenced at 1:30 p.m. and concluded at 4:50 p.m. on July 31, 2026. The financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 (Ind AS 34), with statutory auditors M/s B S R & Co. LLP providing their review pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Segment Performance

Electrification remained the largest revenue contributor, reporting sales of ₹1,804 crore for the quarter, up 31% year-on-year, driven by broad-based growth in data centers, metals & mining, and building infrastructure. The segment delivered a pre-tax result (PBIT) of ₹267 crore, with a PBIT margin of 14.8%. The Motion segment recorded revenue of ₹1,269 crore, rising 17% year-on-year, supported by steady demand in cement and food & beverage sectors, with a PBIT of ₹152 crore. The Automation segment generated revenue of ₹524 crore and a PBIT of ₹77 crore, benefiting from positive momentum in automotive and cement divisions.

Discontinued Operations Impact

The current quarter’s profit includes a loss of ₹7.77 crore from discontinued operations, primarily related to the Power Grids business demerged to Hitachi Energy India Limited and the Robotics business sold earlier in the year. In contrast, the preceding quarter saw a significant one-time gain of ₹1,441.74 crore from discontinued operations due to the slump sale of the Robotics business to ABB Robotics India Private Limited for ₹1,568.20 crore. This transaction resulted in a profit on sale of ₹1,658.48 crore, recognized in the first quarter of FY27. Consequently, the year-to-date consolidated profit stands at ₹2,145.95 crore, significantly higher than the ₹826.37 crore reported in the previous year’s first half.

What the Numbers Show

Operational profitability faced headwinds despite top-line growth. Operational EBITA rose 23% to ₹461 crore, but the EBITA margin contracted to 12.6% from 13.6% in the corresponding quarter last year. This compression was primarily driven by material cost inflation, particularly copper and silver prices, and rupee depreciation against major currencies. However, scale benefits provided a partial offset. The order backlog strengthened to ₹11,898 crore, up 22% year-on-year, providing visibility for future revenue conversion. Cash balance stood at ₹7,243 crore, reflecting strong collections and disciplined working capital management.
