ABB India posts 8% YoY rise in net profit to ₹370 crore in Q2 CY26, declares special dividend of ₹90 per share

ABB India today posted 8% year-on-year (YoY) growth in profit after tax to ₹370 crore in the June quarter of calendar year 2026, compared with ₹343 crore in the same quarter of the previous calendar year. The company's board, which follows the calendar year as its financial year, also declared a special dividend of ₹90 per share.

Revenues jumped 21% to ₹3,559 crore in Q2 CY26, compared with ₹2,940 crore during the same period in the previous calendar year. EBITA growth in the quarter stood at ₹461 crore, up 23% YoY from 376 crore in Q2CY25.

"Combined with 21% revenue growth, a 23% increase in Operational EBITA as well as robust cash generation, the quarter demonstrates our ability to convert strong demand into profitable growth,” said Sanjeev Sharma, managing director, ABB India.

“The record orders we delivered in Q2 CY2026 reflect the confidence customers place in ABB India's technologies and execution capabilities,” Sharma added.

“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,” Sharma said.  

“With our technology leadership, local expertise and execution excellence, we are well positioned to capture this growth while continuing to advance our sustainability ambitions and create lasting value for all stakeholders,” Sharma added.

The company said India’s capex cycle is maturing from a cyclical upswing into a structural, multi-year theme anchored in electrification, automation, digitalization, grid modernization, and energy transition. On its outlook for the second half, the company said the structural shift should keep demand fundamentally sound through H2 CY2026, even as near-term margins remain exposed to commodity cost volatility, competitive intensity, currency movements, and geopolitical uncertainty.

“Total orders for the second quarter CY2026 were at ₹4,363 crore, the highest ever second quarter. For the first half of the year, the orders stood at ₹8,643 crore, up 36%. Orders increased across all business areas, led by base orders in electrification and increase in export orders in motion and automation,” the company said in a statement.

“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,” it added.
