"Notable projects in transmission, renewables and transportation offset the slowdown in traditional sectors. Order growth was marked by a few firsts like the marine generator and controlled start solutions for mining. Introducing and using such smart solutions to decouple growth from environmental impact in emerging markets is a core element in our Next Level strategy," the firm said in a statement.
"Continued confidence in the value addition of our portfolio of advanced and integrated solutions resulted in a good build-up of orders for the quarter," said Bazmi Husain, Managing Director, ABB India. "We will carefully optimize cost and cash in a market which continues to remain uncertain in its outlook, awaiting a broad-based recovery."
