ABB to Invest Rs 620 Cr in India in 2026 to Expand Manufacturing and R&D

ABB has announced plans to invest about Rs 620 crore in India in 2026 to expand its manufacturing footprint and research and development (R&D) capabilities. The investment follows ABB’s spending of more than $35 million in 2025 and reflects the company’s strategy to strengthen its “local-for-local” manufacturing approach in the country.

Nearly 85 percent of ABB’s products and solutions sold in India are currently manufactured locally. The new investment will support expansion across the company’s Electrification, Motion and Automation business areas.

Over the past decade, ABB has invested more than $230 million in India to strengthen the country’s role as a global manufacturing hub. The year 2026 also marks ABB’s 76th year of operations in India.

“This investment in India is an important part of our strategy to support infrastructure build-out and growth in one of our fastest growing markets,” said Morten Wierod, ABB’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are seeing strong demand driven by the country’s energy transition, grid modernization, data center development, and the rapid expansion of the metro and high-speed rail segments. Our expanded facilities will ensure we meet this demand while enhancing our capabilities to serve other markets in the region.”
