What changed in management language.

Q1-FY24 · Sanjeev Sharma

We are at the starting point, not at the midpoint, not at the high point.

Q1-FY24 · T.K. Sridhar

This very strong material cost reduction has happened due to 3-4 factors... higher services and higher exports, localization and SCM savings.

Q1-FY24 · Sanjeev Sharma

Post-COVID, there is a huge shift of the customers who used to be very price-sensitive... towards products which are more reliable and available.

tracked

Q1-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

We focus on the opportunities rather than we get too worried about macros. There are always opportunities.

Q1-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

I think the main story is that the large projects which are being held back, they should be released in coming quarters.

tracked

Q1-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

We are expanding our capacities organically to meet the market demand. That is how some of the balances are.

tracked

Q1-FY26 · Sanjeev Sharma

We had a 25% order growth, 6% revenue growth, and we continue to have a good cash position within the company.

tracked

Q1-FY26 · T. K. Sridhar

The good part and the more positive part of it, which we are all looking forward to, is the development in the orders and which is going to give a good runway for revenues in the coming quarters.

tracked

Q1-FY26 · T. K. Sridhar

We have had quite a good experience during COVID period, wherein a lot of supply chain disruptions came and we had to pass on some costs to the market and which we did.

Q2-FY24 · T.K. Sridhar

We are in a position where we could take leverage of the investment climate, which is developing in front of us.

tracked

Q2-FY24 · Sanjeev Sharma

The results that we are getting now for the last few quarters, they are not made recently. They are in making for last 4, 5 years.

tracked

Q2-FY24 · Sanjeev Sharma

I see India is almost lagging 20-25 years where China was, say, 20-25 years ago. And we still have another 5-10 years ahead of us.

tracked

Q2-FY25 · Sridhar Trivikram

We had a hard choice to make in terms of importing material to supply to the customers to meet the delivery requirements as well.

tracked

Q2-FY25 · Sridhar Trivikram

We stay committed to the customers. There is a momentary impact in terms of using more of imported components to deliver to the customers.

tracked

Q2-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

We do see participation from the Chinese manufacturers in the marketplace. Some of the corporates... are bringing them into the mix of buying as a possibility from Chinese players.

tracked

Q3-FY24 · T.K. Sridhar

We have a good visibility of our good news for the next three to four quarters to come in because we've been executing a bit over time.

tracked

Q3-FY24 · Sanjeev Arora

The erosion almost has stopped. And we are very hopeful that with the new investment coming in, we will definitely have an upturn in the demand cycle of low-voltage motors as well.

Q3-FY24 · Kiran Dutt

As long as there is movement of power from point A to point B, or people moving from point A to point B, or materials moving from point A to point B, for sure we are there for the business.

tracked

Q3-FY25 · T.K. Sridhar

We had a clear advantage of 1%-1.5% in which we used to claim a price minimum, which is no more, which is not there at this point of time.

tracked

Q3-FY25 · T.K. Sridhar

The government keeps moving these particular dates... There is no definite saying that it will close at this date, come what may.

tracked

Q3-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

We will follow the due process of evaluating it. After the valuations are done, like we have done in the past, and the local board is satisfied, based on that valuation, separation of this asset will be done into a new company.

Q4-FY24 · Sanjeev Sharma

This is the 75th year of ABB in India, and we never had it better.

tracked

Q4-FY24 · Sanjeev Sharma

We are very long on India, and we'll go through all the cycles and continue to engage and expand in this country.

tracked

Q4-FY24 · T. K. Sridhar

I think a band of 12%-15% of that level is what we would like to look at.

tracked

Q4-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

We had the highest ever orders at about INR 14,115 crore, which was 8% growth. If you look at CAGR growth, from 2021 onwards, it has been 16%.

tracked

Q4-FY25 · Sanjeev Sharma

Our backlog is at its strongest at INR 10,471 crore, which has grown by 12%. If you look at the CAGR for last five years, is 41%.

tracked

Q4-FY25 · T.K. Sridhar

I think a trajectory in at the back level, we're talking of between 12%-15% still feels good, right? I think, I believe that, if we have volumes sitting in more than what we are doing today at 6%, 7%, probably that should give us an extra mileage to manage and do a margin accretion.
