ABB INDIA expands its Gujarat factory to meet the surging demand

ABB India has launched a new production facility in Vadodara, Gujarat as a solution to the surging demand for its products and solutions. There has been a significant increase in demand for ABB products, including digital substation products and digital solutions within India and over 50 other countries across the globe.

ABB sells its products to customers in multiple industries, including Oil and Gas, automotive, manufacturing, renewable energy, utilities, and many more. According to Sanjeev Sharma, Country Head & MD, ABB India, the addition of extra production facilities is mainly to meet the ever-increasing energy demand within India and the rest of the world.

According to IEA, India is currently the 5^th among the top energy consumers in the world. The IEA also projects India to become the 3^rd most energy consumer by 2030 considering its population growth. The mix of diversified and distributed energy sources has also created the need to manufacture more quality energy equipment within India, so ABB needed to boost its production capacity.

ABB’s Country Head & MD went on to say that the launch of this new factory shows how much the company is committed to playing a major role in meeting India’s grid expansion and clean energy targets. The Indian government has the vision to increase the local manufacturing capacity for electrical and electronic equipment. ABB is one of those companies that has to play a major role to make this vision come true.

Booting the local production capacity of electrical and electronic equipment will make India a global hub for such equipment, which will inevitably boost the country’s GDP.

ABB’s Senior Vice President – Electrification Business, Ganesh Kothawade also added that the digital substation products and digital system solutions manufactured in the company’s new facility will play a major role in meeting the ongoing outcry from customers to boost the reliability, efficiency, speed, accuracy, and overall effectiveness of their electrical equipment and networks.
