Management Comments :

Commenting on the company’s performance, Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director, ABB India said, “We have delivered another quarter of consistent performance, creating balanced and profitable growth for our stakeholders and deepening engagement with our customers. The quarter was marked by record levels of backlog complemented by a strong book to bill and cash. We are thankful to our customers and proud of our teams. In line with our goal to achieve sustainable growth taking a longer-term view of the market, our order basket comprised an optimal combination of long and short cycle orders as has been the trend for the current and past few quarters. The large orders, a marker of economic robustness led by government led capex revival, emerged from diverse sectors like transportation, metals, and even new ones like the data centers. This provides each division the flexibility to leverage opportunities as per their business cycles and bandwidth and entails revenue conversion from a vibrant and varied basket of orders and timeframes. Our non-financial parameters continued their positive trajectory as the quarter was marked by multiple certifications and milestone completion in our endeavors on emission control and recognition from relevant external organizations.”
