ABB India launches new line for variable speed drive modules at Peenya factory in Bengaluru
Oct-28-2025

ABB India has expanded its local production footprint with the launch of a new line for variable speed drive (VSD) modules at its Peenya factory in Bengaluru. With this line, the local production capacity of drives has increased by about 25 percent, supporting the country’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ programs. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the new line will help meet growing demand for drives that enable improved energy efficiency and productivity.

The new line will produce drives with large power ratings for a variety of industries, including buildings, data centers, water, cement and metals. With localized production, the line is expected to reduce lead times by up to 40 percent, enabling delivery efficiency. The line is also equipped to deliver ‘made-toorder’ drives for the evolving needs of key industrial segments.

This ergonomically designed line has integrated robotics to automate the production of a key component that enable ABB drives to deliver high energy efficiency and reliability. The new line features a combination of advanced robotics and digital production monitoring technology, handling production of large batches with speed and precision and providing real-time visibility of operations. Aligning with Industry 4.0 standards, advanced sensor-based tools monitor and enable accurate placement of drive components, ensuring consistently high quality of drives. ABB’s drives factory has also deployed robotics to streamline the movement of assembled drives to further improve efficiency, reduce manual handling, and enhance safety.

ABB India is a leading global technology company that energizes the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future.
