ABB India Q4 CY25 net profit falls 18% YoY to ₹434 crore; final dividend recommended

The company reported a 18.08% year-on-year (YoY) decline in its consolidated net profit to ₹432.85 crore during the quarter under review, compared to the ₹528.41 crore profit it logged in the December quarter of CY24 (Q4 CY24).

Its profitability was affected by higher material costs, forex, QCO-related imported material usage, and Labor Code impact, which was partly offset through commodity hedging and efficiency gains, the company said in a regulatory filing post-market hours on Thursday.

Its revenue from operations advanced 5.71% YoY to ₹3,557.01 crore for the fourth quarter of CY25, as against ₹3,364.93 crore in the year-ago period.

Export revenue remained a growth driver across all major business divisions, ABB India added.

At an operational level, its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), also known as operating profit, stood at ₹546 crore in the December quarter of CY25, reflecting a % YoY slump from ₹657 crore in the same period last year.

The company recorded the highest fourth quarter orders in the last five years, with total orders at ₹4,096 crore growing 52% due to a strong development in the base business with additional support from the timing of large orders.

The quarter benefited from large orders in the data center, automotive, building and infra, railways and metals segments.

Dividend

The company’s board of directors also recommended a final dividend of ₹29.95 per share on 21,19,08,375 equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each fully paid up for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, subject to shareholders' approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

The dividend will be paid or dispatched after May 9, 2026, if declared at the AGM. Furthermore, the board fixed May 2, 2026, as the record date for the same.

What the management said

Commenting on the earnings, Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB India, said: “2025 was a year of steady progress for ABB India, underscored by the proud milestone of completing 75 years of manufacturing in the country. As we step into 2026, our record order book and highest-ever revenues reflect the strength of our disciplined execution and the resilience of our teams.”

Sharma added that in the fourth quarter, the firm continued to ramp up orders and revenues despite margin pressures from volatile input costs. Its diversified portfolio and technology-driven solutions, as per Sharma, allowed it to navigate varied sectoral cycles with confidence, reinforcing the robustness of our business model.

“Customers rely on ABB for our innovation leadership, trusted partnerships, and an integrated ecosystem built over decades. Sustainability remains central to everything we do, and we continue to advance meaningful improvements across our operations, supply chain, and customer engagements. With strong leadership across divisions and a clear focus on agility, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth and long-term value for all stakeholders in the year ahead—driven solutions allow us to -term value for all stakeholders in the year ahead,” he stated.

Outlook

The company said it is supported by strong demand momentum and a resilient local-for-local manufacturing base for the calendar year 2026 (CY26).

“The company’s diversified presence across 23 market segments positions it well to benefit from sustained investments in infrastructure, rail, grid modernization, and renewables, while also capturing opportunities in metals, mining, energy, chemicals, data centers, and electronics,” it said.

ABB India added that continued capex across chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, power distribution, water, and digitalisation align with its core strengths and reinforce its long-term growth outlook.

“The company continues to monitor global geopolitical developments and their influence on domestic demand, investment sentiment, inflation, FX, and climate-related risks, while remaining focused on operational excellence, disciplined execution, and sustainable, profitable growth,” it stated.

ABB India has a total market capitalisation of ₹1.21 lakh crore, as of February 19, 2026, according to data on the NSE.
