**Headline:** ABB India Sees 20% Drop in Net Profit for June Quarter Due to Forex Volatility
ABB India, a leader in electrification and automation, reported a 20% decrease in net profit for the June quarter, amounting to ₹352 crore, compared to ₹443 crore in the same period last year. This decline is attributed primarily to foreign exchange volatility and increased expenses. The company operates on a financial year that runs from January to December.
In its latest financial results, ABB India announced a revenue of ₹3,175 crore for the second quarter, a notable increase from ₹2,831 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. However, total expenditures surged to ₹2,801.1 crore in Q2 CY2025, up from ₹2,323.9 crore a year earlier. The company’s cash reserves remain strong, standing at ₹5,154 crore at the end of Q2 2025.
The Board of Directors has declared an interim dividend of ₹9.77 per equity share, reflecting the company’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders. Sanjeev Sharma, Country Head and Managing Director of ABB India, commented on the results, stating, “Despite the challenges posed by forex volatility and one-off expenses, we have maintained double-digit profit after tax margins for the 11th consecutive quarter, supported by robust revenue and backlog expansion.”
Total orders for Q2 CY2025 reached ₹3,036 crore, a decrease from ₹3,435 crore in the same quarter last year, largely due to the timing of large orders. However, base orders have shown an upward trend. Key market segments driving order momentum include electronics, railways, data centers, energy, metals and mining, as well as building and infrastructure.
As of June 30, 2025, ABB India boasts a strong executable order backlog of ₹10,064 crore, an increase from ₹9,517 crore a year prior, indicating a solid foundation for future growth.
