Hitachi Energy (formerly known as ABB Power Products & Systems India) operates in India as Hitachi Energy India. 

In 2020, Hitachi and ABB’s Power Grids’ business came together in a joint venture to form Hitachi ABB Power Grids. By combining ABB’s world-class power grids solutions with Hitachi’s advanced digital technologies, the new company uniquely positioned itself as a market and technology leader, with an active role in the global energy transition and the decarbonization of energy systems. A year later, after the formal registration of Hitachi Energy Ltd., its evolution to Hitachi Energy was announced, reflecting the rapidly evolving energy landscape and the opportunity to inspire the next era of sustainable energy. On December 28, 2022, ABB divested its remaining equity stake in the joint venture, and Hitachi Energy fully transitioned under Hitachi Ltd.

Business area of the company

The Company is engaged in the business relating to products, projects and services for electricity transmission and related activities. These activities of the company are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker from an overall business perspective, rather than reviewing its products/services as individual standalone components and therefore subject to the same risk and reward and accordingly falls within single business segment. The company is a global technology leader in electrification, powering a sustainable energy future with innovative power grid technologies with digital at the core. With over a century in pioneering mission-critical technologies like high-voltage, transformers, automation, and power electronics, the company is addressing the most urgent energy challenge of current time - balancing soaring electricity demand, while decarbonizing the power system.
