Today, as we commemorate ABB India’s 75-year journey, we mark a momentous occasion in the presence of ABB’s global CEO Morten Wierod , who joins us here in India to celebrate this incredible milestone. It is a day of immense pride and reflection for every member of the ABB family, a testament to the enduring partnership between ABB and India. This celebration is not merely about looking back but also about honoring our shared history of growth and embracing the promise of the future.
From our humble beginnings in 1949, when ABB began its journey in post-independence India, our story has been one of innovation, resilience, and firm commitment. The story of ABB in India is also deeply rooted in the remarkable histories of its predecessors - Asea Ltd. (ASL) and Hindustan Brown Boveri Ltd. (HBBL). These two pioneering organizations laid the foundation for ABB India’s transformative journey and set the stage for the technological leadership that ABB enjoys today.
Take, for instance, our early involvement in electrifying Indian Railways, a collaboration that started decades ago and has since transformed into a cornerstone of India's transportation network. Similarly, our contributions to India’s industrial growth, such as the establishment of advanced manufacturing facilities in Faridabad and Vadodara, are emblematic of ABB’s role in shaping the nation’s industrial landscape.
Today’s celebration is a tribute to these milestones and to the countless innovations that have powered India’s growth. Whether it was introducing robotics to Indian manufacturing three decades ago or achieving the recent 10-gigawatt (GW) milestone in delivering its automation solution for renewable energy plants in India in 2024, ABB has consistently adapted to meet the evolving needs of this growing nation. These achievements are not just chapters in ABB India’s history but also in the story of India’s transformation into a global powerhouse.
