Section 80IA exempt the income of an undertaking. The undertaking is not a legal entity, the subsidiary is however is a separate legal entity. Each separate legal entity may have various undertaking and those undertaking would be eligible of deduction if the unit is engaged in the business of electricity generation. The unit has to comply all the conditions prescribed in section 80IA. I do not find any reason in your query why undertaking of ABC Co should not be eligible for deduction as this is engaged in the generation of electricity. A company may have only one undertaking also.
