ABB India is investing over Rs 140 crore to expand and modernize its Low Voltage (LV) motors manufacturing facility in India. This investment
comes alongside the launch of IE5 ultra-premium efficiency motors, further cementing India's key role as a hub for global innovation and technological excellence.
“Our strategic investment is not just about building capacity — it's about reinforcing our long-term vision for India as a key global manufacturing hub,” said Stefan Floeck, President – IEC Low Voltage Motors, ABB. “With rising demand for energy-efficient motors, we're engineering solutions that help customers outrun leaner and cleaner.”
The launch of ABB's IE5 ultra-premium efficiency motors marks a significant milestone in its commitment to industrial energy efficiency and sustainability.
With power ratings from 45 kW to 1000 kW, this is India's first IE5 motor range built on proven induction motor technology—free from rare-earth metals and engineered for high performance and reliability, even in the most demanding industrial environments.
Custom-engineered for Indian operating conditions, these motors operate seamlessly on both Direct-On-Line (DOL) and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), making them ideal for industries such as metals, cement, textiles, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and paper.
With up to 40% lower energy losses compared to IE3 motors, they deliver faster ROI, reduced total cost of ownership, and a longer operating life.
