segment inside the country? And how has that been moving over time? I'm just trying to get a
sense of how the customer is thinking through kind of coupling up a motor and drive more and
more in the country?

Sanjeev Sharma: I'll let Sanjeev Arora answer it. So, just to let you know about drive. We have a very low-voltage
motor drive as well as medium-voltage drive. And all of them go into critical applications. And
Sanjeev, over to you.
Sanjeev Arora: Thanks, Sanjeev, and thanks for the question. I think this is a very good question, which is close
to my heart. And this is picking up in the right direction. Let me first start with this statement.
So, earlier, we used to see that a very small segment of the end users, which are technically
knowledgeable, were picking this as a case study or a proof of concept. But today, I can tell you,
this is growing exponentially. Now in India, yes, there is a scope to grow further. But the concept
of motors plus drive is good, because straight away you save 30% of energy. And with the
corporate roles being very, very prominent when it comes to the carbon neutrality, sustainability
and the initiatives on that, this energy efficiency movement with motors and drives is a key
enabler and a low-hanging fruit for all segments and industries in which we operate. So, this is
picking up, and we see exponential growth in this piece going forward. And I can also add that
when it comes to the energy-efficient motors, we enjoy a very large share of i3, i4 range in the
market. So, overall, it will be a game changer for the industries, and we are well prepared in this
portfolio.
Sanjeev Sharma: And Aditya, you can also help us along with your colleagues. So, you must be attending a lot of
such calls with other companies. So, all the companies who use these motors and drives, you
can ask them if they're using it because that can reduce them 30% energy, and that will go in
their bottom line. So, you can, of course, mention this ABB drives and motors they should use
because then they have a sure benefit. So, you can also help us the other way.
Aditya Mongia: So, absolutely. You are the early movers; you should tend to benefit from that. And I look
forward to hopefully a deep dive into energy efficiency as part of your presentation at some point
of time.
Moderator: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that was the last question for today. I now hand the conference
over to Mr. T.K. Sridhar for closing comments. Over to you, sir.
T. K. Sridhar: Thank you very much. Thank you, once again, everyone, for attending this call, both from the
analyst side as well as the management side. It is a Friday evening, so we do not want you to
hold you back more in the office, and it's also a long weekend. So, I think with all the discussions
what we did, I think we will continue to do our best. And we will come back again to you in the
next quarter to have another good call. And before we sort of hang up, I wish you all a very
happy Independence Day from our side. So, that's it. Jai Hind.
Moderator: Thank you. On behalf of ABB India Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you for
joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines.
