ABB India Executes Robotics Slump Sale To ABB Robotics India For ₹1,568.20 Crore Under BTA

ABB India Limited executed a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) with ABB Robotics India Private Limited, triggering the formal transfer of its Robotics Business on a slump sale basis for ₹1,568.20 crore. TtheMarch 1, 2026 execution follows prior board and shareholder approvals disclosed in January and February.

The company confirmed the development in a Regulation 30 disclosure to BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, referencing its earlier communication dated January 26, 2026 and shareholder approval dated February 27, 2026.

Business Transfer Agreement Formalised

The BTA was entered into on March 1, 2026. According to the filing, the business transfer becomes effective from March 1, 2026, with payment of consideration and completion actions expected in line with the January 26 disclosure.

The transaction is structured as a slump sale — a transfer of an undertaking as a going concern for a lump sum consideration without individual values being assigned to assets and liabilities, typically governed under Section 2(42C) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Such structures allow continuity of operations while ring-fencing defined business verticals.

The ₹1,568,20,00,000 consideration (₹1,568.20 crore) pertains exclusively to the Robotics Business undertaking. ABB India had earlier indicated that detailed disclosures would be updated upon execution of definitive documentation. That milestone is now complete.

The regulatory reference cited in the latest filing includes SEBI Master Circular dated November 11, 2024 (SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155), as applicable to material events disclosure.
