ABB India to Divest Robotics Business for ₹1,568.2 Crore at 25.87x EV/EBITDA

🟢 POSITIVE ⭐ 9/10

M&A 📅 05 Feb 2026, 03:30 PM

ABB India has announced the divestment of its Robotics business to ABB Robotics Schweiz AG via a slump sale for a cash consideration of ₹1,568.2 crore.

ABB Ltd plans to expand its manufacturing footprint in India as a key emerging market growth opportunity. Current capacity utilization is improving, which has directly contributed to the operating margin expansion to 18.7%.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are managed through cost optimization and increased indigenization of products to arrest margin declines caused by intense competition in bidding processes.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Efficiency is driven by improved capacity utilization and the certification of all motion factories as 'zero waste to landfill.'

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

13-15%

Growth Strategy

Growth will be achieved through a focus on 23 market segments (including Oil & Gas, Mining, Cement, and Metals), the launch of premium products like IE5 ultra-premium efficiency motors, and a 'bolt-on' inorganic acquisition strategy supported by a INR 5,000 Cr cash reserve.

Competitive Landscape

Intense competition from both domestic and international players, with most orders procured through competitive bidding.
