ABB India witnessed an order inflow of Rs.8,643 crore in the first half (H1: January to June) of calendar year 2026 (CY26), up 36 per cent year-on-year.
In a release, ABB India said that orders increased across all business areas, led by base orders in Electrification and increase in export orders in Motion and Automation. Growth was also driven by strong demand across both core and emerging segments, particularly in metals and mining, data centers, renewables, food and beverage, cement, automotive, and building infrastructure.
Key orders included low and medium voltage switchgears and Ring Main units for data centers and smart power products for renewable energy.
In the second quarter (Q2: April to June) of CY26, the company order inflow, at Rs.4,363 crore, was the highest in any second quarter ever. Compared to Q2CY25, the order intake growth was 50 per cent.
As of June 30, 2026, ABB India continues to increase its strong order backlog, at Rs.11,898 crore mark in H1CY26 up by 22 per cent, distributed across segments, providing good revenue visibility, and is well aligned to support growth plans in the coming quarters, the release said.
The Electrification business accounted for 55.8 per cent of the company’s total order inflows in H1CY26 (January to June) and 40.9 per cent of the total unexecuted order book as of June 30, 2026.
Active opportunity pipeline
Commenting on the company’s performance, Sanjeev Sharma, Country Manager, ABB India, said, “The record orders we delivered in Q2 CY2026 reflect the confidence customers place in ABB India’s technologies and execution capabilities. Combined with 21 per cent revenue growth, a 23 per cent increase in Operational EBITA as well as robust cash generation, the quarter demonstrates our ability to convert strong demand into profitable growth. I would like to thank our employees whose commitment, agility, and customer focus made these results possible.
We enter the second half with confidence, supported by a strong backlog and active opportunity pipeline across a diverse set of industries. India’s ongoing investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy transition, and digitalization continue to create long-term opportunities for ABB.
