Large Motors & Generators (LMG) division, part of ABB’s Motion business portfolio, delivers a robust range of reliable, high-performance solutions designed to meet the dynamic needs of industrial, infrastructure, marine and renewable sectors. Our offerings include low and high voltage induction, synchronous, and special-purpose motors, as well as synchronous and special design generators, all engineered for demanding applications that require maximum uptime, efficiency, and energy savings.

Our manufacturing facility in Vadodara is a key hub, supporting both domestic demand and exports to markets including the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and beyond. As part of ABB’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative, this facility manufactures motors and generators that serve a wide spectrum of industries such as metals, chemicals, oil & gas, cement, mining, marine, water & wastewater, pulp & paper and power.  With deep domain expertise and a future-focused approach, ABB’s LMG division plays a vital role in helping industries outrun inefficiencies, improve asset longevity, and drive productivity ensuring they remain competitive, resilient, and sustainable in a rapidly evolving world.

Industrial motors are the workhorses of modern industry, powering everything from pumps and compressors to fans and conveyors. For end-user industries, the quality of these motors is not just a technical requirement but a strategic lever to drive operational efficiency and sustainability. Quality also translates to reliability and longevity, which means fewer breakdowns, less downtime, and reduced need for frequent replacements, all of which contribute to a lower carbon footprint over the lifecycle of the equipment. ABB’s large motors and generators are engineered with advanced materials, robust insulation systems, and precision manufacturing processes to deliver high performance even in the most demanding environments – such as oil & gas, mining, to metals and marine.

In short, quality industrial motors are not just about motion, they are about progress. They empower industries to outrun inefficiencies, minimise environmental impact, and achieve ambitious sustainability targets, all while maintaining peak productivity.

While the shift to energy-efficient operations is essential, industries often face challenges like integration complexity, high upfront costs, and limited system visibility. At ABB, we are turning these barriers into opportunities through innovation and domain expertise.

Our MV Titanium concept simplifies adoption by combining a medium-voltage motor and drive into a single, compact, easy-to-install package, reducing complexity while delivering energy savings, better performance, and lower total cost of ownership.

Complementing this is our Top Industrial Efficiency (TIE) initiative, which optimises the entire motor-driven system for maximum energy efficiency and reliability.

To support a smooth transition from legacy systems, we offer end-to-end lifecycle management services, from audits and retrofits to upgrades and digital monitoring—ensuring a low-risk, future-ready shift to sustainable operations.

ABB’s synchronous condensers play a vital role in enhancing grid stability and supporting the energy transition, especially as industries move toward cleaner, more electrified operations. As renewable energy sources like solar and wind continue to replace traditional fossil-based generation, power grids are increasingly facing challenges related to inertia in the grid, voltage stability, and short-circuit capacity. ABB’s synchronous condensers provide these critical grid support services without generating real power, making them essential assets in modern, low-carbon energy networks.

For new and emerging industries, particularly those built around green hydrogen, e-mobility, or large-scale data centers, maintaining a stable and resilient power supply is crucial. ABB’s proven synchronous condenser technology helps these sectors by ensuring voltage regulation, improving power quality, and providing dynamic grid support even during peak loads or sudden disturbances. With decades of experience in delivering synchronous condenser systems globally, ABB combines deep technical expertise with modular, scalable solutions that meet the specific needs of evolving industries and regional grid demands.

As regulatory frameworks and ESG imperatives continue to tighten across the globe, we are witnessing a clear shift in industrial demand, from conventional motor systems to high-efficiency, future-ready solutions. Across the region, industries are no longer just looking at motors as components of mechanical motion, they see them as critical enablers of energy savings, carbon reduction, and compliance.

In India, the rollout of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for low voltage motors has accelerated the adoption of IE3 and above motors, aligning local requirements with global efficiency norms. In MEA and Latin America, where sustainability agendas are increasingly being integrated into national policies and corporate strategies, we see growing interest in motors that combine performance with reliability and digital intelligence. IEC has published a new standard 60034-30-3 on efficiency class for high voltage motors, this will enable customers to choose the right efficiency motors. At ABB we already deliver IE4 efficiency for HV motors from India.

Demand is rising for smart, sensor-enabled motors that support real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimised lifecycle performance, solutions that ABB is uniquely positioned to deliver.

As industries worldwide commit to decarbonisation, ABB’s Large Motors & Generators division is uniquely positioned to drive this transition by delivering solutions that combine energy efficiency, performance, and digital intelligence. We are actively shaping a low-carbon future through our industry-leading product platforms. By consolidating our induction motor portfolio and establishing a strong base machine offering, we are simplifying selection and improving efficiency across applications. Our TIE – Top Industrial Efficiency initiative and continued product innovations are designed to help customers meet and exceed their sustainability targets especially in energy-intensive segments. 

On the operations front, we are focused on delivering world-class efficiency and responsiveness. Through global supply chain leverage, mass customisation, and enhanced delivery reliability, we ensure customers get the right solutions faster with a lower lifecycle footprint. Through a blend of innovation, operational excellence, and deep customer understanding, we aim to help industries outrun inefficiencies and reduce their carbon footprint, all while enhancing productivity and performance.
