ABB India revenue rises but profit declines amid higher input costs

ABB India reported a 7.2% year-on-year drop in second-quarter profit to ₹408.9 crore despite a 13.7% increase in revenue to ₹3,310.7 crore. The decline in profit was primarily due to rising raw material and logistics costs, which offset higher sales volumes. Industrial automation demand remained resilient, helping the company sustain order inflows. ABB continues investing in capacity expansion and smart manufacturing solutions to strengthen competitiveness. Analysts expect margins to recover gradually as input price pressures ease in coming quarters.
