ABB India Boosts Local Output with New Energy-Efficient Drives Line

 ABB India Ltd. has added a new production line for variable speed drives (VSDs) at its Peenya factory in Bengaluru. As per the exchange filings, the company said this will raise its local production capacity by about 25%. VSDs are used in industries to regulate motor speed and cut down on unnecessary power use.

Expansion Details

The Peenya unit has been producing drives for over 20 years. With the new line, ABB India plans to manufacture drives with higher power ratings and develop customised units for sectors such as buildings, data centres, water management, cement, and metals. The new setup is expected to reduce delivery time by up to 40%.

Use of Robotics

The upgraded facility includes integrated robotic systems that automate the production of key components used in the drives. These systems are to improve precision and consistency while supporting large-scale production. The addition of robotics also helps in maintaining quality during high-volume output.

Local Manufacturing Focus

The expansion is part of ABB’s plan to increase local production within India. The company said that building more capacity domestically allows faster delivery and reduces the need for imports. The Peenya facility continues to play a major role in supplying drives for industrial use across the country.

Industrial Demand

Variable speed drives are used across multiple industries to manage power use and improve process control. They are increasingly in demand as more sectors adopt systems aimed at cutting energy consumption and operating costs. The new production line is expected to support this growing requirement.
