Towards a smart, sustainable India

GDP to grow
2 times
from 2015 to 2030

Urban India to contribute

75 percent
of the GDP by 2030

Urban India to constitute

40 percent
of the population by 2030

25-30 people
migrate every minute
to major Indian cities
from rural areas

600 million
people do not have 24-hour
access to electricity

68 cities
have a population
>1 million

This rate of urbanization makes it imperative to enhance infrastructure,

governance, and quality of life in cities using technology. Hence it is
important to build sustainable, resilient engines of growth - smart cities.

Intelligent technology for smart cities

Growth in developing economies such as India, will be marked by

an influx in urban areas. People will gravitate towards the economic
advantages that cities are perceived to offer. Technology will play a
critical role in managing this population explosion, and ABB offers
power and automation products and solutions across the entire
technology value chain.
