The new line will develop energy efficient motors up to 55 kW for customers operating in different industrial segments such as F&B, water & wastewater, cement, metals and mining, HVAC, textiles, rubber and others.

ABB’s LV motors are compactly designed to minimize space and total cost of ownership. Offering greater flexibility to meet specific customer requirements, ABB’s LV motors help in operating critical processes with minimum downtime.

“This expansion further reinforces our commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The new line will not only meet the growing demands of the domestic market, but also help us boost exports to other significant markets like the Middle East and Africa. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities will continue to manufacture world-class motors that are reliable and energy efficient,” said Sanjeev Arora, President, ABB Motion India.

As roughly 75% of industrial motors are used to run pumps, fans, and compressors, usage of energy efficient motors play a vital role in reducing energy consumption. ABB is manufacturing Super Premium efficiency motors in India that meet the IE4 standard focused on sustainability.

In 2020, ABB had launched a new series of high-output motors for its industrial customers in India with compact design, reducing the overall size of equipment and total cost of ownership. Manufactured at ABB’s Bengaluru and Faridabad factories, the made-in-India motors helped in bolstering ABB’s presence in the domestic market.
