ABB India is positioning data centre build-outs and grid modernisation as the primary engines for its next phase of growth in the region.

Sanjeev Sharma, managing director of ABB India, outlined the strategy, noting that the company is leveraging India's broader electrification push to sustain its momentum.

While the core focus remains on power infrastructure, Sharma also identified emerging opportunities in marine, ports, and semiconductor sectors as potential growth vectors.

The strategic pivot aligns with a global surge in capital expenditure for power infrastructure.

As artificial intelligence workloads intensify, the demand for reliable, high-capacity power systems has become a critical bottleneck for tech giants.

ABB, a leader in electrification and automation, is well-positioned to supply the switchgear, transformers, and control systems required for these facilities.
