ABB India Highlights Kolkata Metro Electrification Partnership; Shares Steady

Mumbai, June 25: ABB India said its electrification and motion-control technologies are being deployed across the Kolkata Metro network, strengthening a partnership that has spanned more than two decades.

According to the company’s exchange filing, ABB’s solutions are being used across metro stations, underground tunnels and operational facilities to improve network reliability, energy efficiency and passenger safety as Kolkata Metro continues to expand.

The company said more than 80% of metro networks in India currently use ABB technology in some form. In Kolkata, its systems have been installed across multiple corridors and support functions ranging from power distribution and electrification to HVAC applications and ventilation infrastructure.

ABB noted that the 72-kilometre metro network now operates more than 300 train trips daily and serves over half a million passengers.

Focus Remains On Operational Efficiency Rather Than A New Order

Unlike a fresh contract announcement, Wednesday’s disclosure highlighted ABB’s long-standing involvement in Kolkata Metro’s infrastructure and the growing deployment of its technologies as the network expands.

The company said its portfolio includes low- and medium-voltage switchgear, protection systems, distribution boards and variable frequency drives, designed to improve equipment reliability while reducing maintenance requirements and energy consumption.

ABB also said its dedicated HVAC control systems help maintain ventilation, cooling and smoke extraction inside underground stations and tunnels, contributing to safer day-to-day operations.

The update reflects ABB’s strategy of showcasing ongoing infrastructure projects where its technologies continue to play a critical role rather than announcing a new commercial order.
