Over the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Motion revenue increased to Rs 3,764.93 crore from Rs 3,358.55 crore, but its segment result fell to Rs 473.80 crore from Rs 600.24 crore.

Electrification had the largest asset base among the continuing operating segments at September 30, 2026, at Rs 4,070.99 crore.

What did ABB India report from discontinued operations?

ABB India reported Rs 2.73 crore of profit before tax from discontinued operations in Q3 2026, compared with Rs 14.68 crore in Q3 2025 and a loss of Rs 10.38 crore in the June 2026 quarter. The discontinued result includes matters associated with the earlier Power Grids demerger and comparative Robotics business activity.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, discontinued-operations profit before tax was Rs 1,685.47 crore, including a Rs 1,658.48 crore gain on the Robotics business sale. ABB India completed the business transfer arrangement with ABB Robotics India Private Limited on March 1, 2026, following shareholder approval on February 27, 2026. The disclosed Robotics business sale consideration was Rs 1,568.20 crore.

Total Q3 profit, including discontinued operations, was Rs 442.52 crore against Rs 409.04 crore a year earlier. Nine-month total profit was Rs 2,588.47 crore against Rs 1,235.41 crore in the corresponding period, while continuing-operations profit after tax was Rs 1,151.80 crore compared with Rs 1,197.91 crore. The nine-month total-profit comparison therefore includes the disclosed gain from the Robotics sale.

Conclusion

ABB India’s Q3 segment disclosure identifies Electrification as the main source of the increase in continuing-operations revenue and segment profit. Its Rs 548.55 crore revenue increase exceeded Motion’s Rs 160.95 crore rise, while Automation’s Rs 96.09 crore revenue decline and Rs 33.89 crore reduction in segment profit moved in the opposite direction. Continuing-operations profit before tax nevertheless rose Rs 53.00 crore to Rs 580.64 crore.

The next results should show whether Electrification can extend its nine-month revenue increase to Rs 5,295.62 crore and whether Automation’s nine-month revenue of Rs 1,529.71 crore stabilises. ABB India also disclosed that certain matters connected with the 2019 Power Grids demerger remain pending, while its provident-fund arrangement transferred accumulated liabilities to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation effective October 1, 2026 and generated a Rs 6.20 crore net gain in profit and loss plus Rs 3.70 crore in other comprehensive income.
