Global technology company ABB has announced plans to invest about Rs. 692 crore (US$ 75 million) in India in 2026 to expand its manufacturing footprint and strengthen research and development (R&D) capabilities across key infrastructure and industrial segments. The investment will focus on increasing production capacity for electrification and automation technologies used in sectors such as renewable energy, metro rail, data centres, and industrial operations. The expansion reflects ABB’s strategy to strengthen its “local-for-local” approach, which the company uses to produce most of its products sold in India from its local manufacturing facilities. India has become an important market for ABB as demand for advanced electrical equipment automation solutions and energy infrastructure continues to grow alongside the country’s rapid industrialisation and infrastructure development.
The planned investment will be distributed across several locations, including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Nashik, and Vadodara, where ABB operates major manufacturing and technology facilities. The company plans to increase its production capacity by creating new manufacturing facilities, building high-tech research centers, and developing its engineering and testing functions, which will help bring new products to market. The expansion will support energy transition projects, transportation infrastructure, and digital infrastructure projects that need electrification and automation solutions. The investment program, according to company plans, will create over 300 professional positions in engineering, manufacturing, and research fields. The move establishes ABB in India as a vital global operation base while it builds on previous investments and supports local manufacturing and technological progress, which conforms to India’s industrial development and infrastructure-building goals.
