Furthermore, the company has decided to invest approximately $75 million in manufacturing and research and development (R&D) in India. The market interpreted this news as a positive sign for the India business, with investors believing India could become a major growth hub for the company in the future. 

Are the global figures directly linked to ABB India? It's worth noting that ABB Global's India region order data isn't directly linked to ABB India alone. It includes orders placed by third-party customers in India, which may go to ABB India, other ABB units, or even ABB companies abroad. Nevertheless, when orders in the India region grow rapidly, sentiment positively impacts ABB India stock.

FIIs exited, DIIs entered . An interesting shift in shareholding patterns has been observed. FIIs' stake was 10.28% in March 2025, which declined to 8.2% in March 2026. This means that foreign investors have reduced their stake. Meanwhile, the shareholding of domestic institutional investors (DIIs) has increased from 7.02% to 9.29%.
