Despite near-term concerns, analysts upbeat on ABB India

Weakening order inflow may also impact operations, going forward.

However, ABB gained share in base orders in Tier III and IV cities and is well-placed to benefit from a return of investment. It could remain a market leader despite competition.

ABB India's Q2CY25 (the company has a December year ending) results disappointed with order inflows down 12 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y).

For Q2CY25, revenue grew by 12 per cent to ₹3,170 crore, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) fell by 24 per cent to ₹410 crore and PAT slipped 20 per cent to ₹350 crore.

Ebitda margin was down 610 basis points (bps) at 13 per cent. Electrification revenue growth was strong, but other segments were weak.
