Profitability Margins
Operating margin improved significantly to 18.7% for 9M 2024 compared to 13.4% in 9M 2023. PAT margin was 11.9% in CY2023. The improvement is attributed to a more favorable revenue mix, better margin orders, and price revisions.

Raw Materials
Not specifically disclosed in available documents, though the company focuses on 'indigenization' of products to counter competitive pressure and optimize costs.
Capacity Expansion
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
