ABB India has signed an agreement to divest its Robotics division to SoftBank Group Corp. for an enterprise value of $5.375 billion and not pursue its earlier intention to spin-off the business as a separately listed company. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and further customary closing conditions and is expected to close in mid-to-late 2026.
As a result of the signing of the agreement ABB will adjust its reporting structure and move to three business areas. As of the fourth quarter 2025, the Robotics division will be reported as Discontinued operations. At the same time, the Machine Automation division, which together with ABB Robotics currently forms the Robotics & Discrete Automation business area, will become a part of the Process Automation business area.
Upon closing, the divestment will result in a non-operational pre-tax book gain of around $2.4 billion with expected cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, of around $5.3 billion. The expected separation costs related to the divestment are around $200 million, about half of which was already included in our 2025 guidance. ABB’s current best estimate of the transaction-related cash tax outflows in respect of the local business carve-out is in the range of $400 million-$500 million.
ABB India is a leading global technology company that energizes the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future.
