Higher business from new verticals and better market penetration has helped ABB to post a 55 per cent increase in net profit to Rs 82.1 crore while revenues rose 52 per cent to Rs 1,093.6 crore for the third quarter of 2006.

A press statement from the company said there was a 48 per cent increase in orders to Rs 1,358 crore during the quarter. "In addition to the conversion of a healthy order backlog, this (results) also reflects increased revenues from new revenue streams recently initiated," the statement said.

"In line with our commitment towards profitable and sustainable growth, we shall continue to increase both the depth and breadth of our business.
