manufacturing-news

Bosch Limited has reported a strong financial performance for the financial year 2025–26, supported by sustained momentum in India’s automotive sector, rising demand for mobility technologies, and increased adoption of advanced emission-compliant solutions. The company recorded healthy gains in revenue and profitability while continuing to expand its strategic focus on electrification and software-led mobility solutions.

For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, Bosch Limited posted total revenue from operations of INR 5,566 crores, registering a 13.3 percent increase over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The growth was led by higher production volumes across the automotive market, especially in passenger vehicles and two-wheelers.

Profit Before Tax, excluding exceptional items, stood at INR 808 crores for the quarter, accounting for 14.5 percent of revenue from operations. The company attributed the rise in profitability to improved operational efficiencies, disciplined cost management, and stronger revenues. Profit After Tax for the quarter came in at INR 568 crores, representing 10.2 percent of quarterly revenue.

The company’s Mobility business emerged as the primary growth engine during the quarter, with product sales rising 23.3 percent year-on-year. The Power Solutions division registered growth of 27.4 percent, supported by robust demand across the domestic automotive industry. Bosch’s two-wheeler business recorded a sharp 63.4 percent increase, driven by higher sales of exhaust gas sensors following the nationwide implementation of On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) norms from April 2025.

In contrast, the Beyond Mobility business segment reported a decline of 9.1 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The reduction was primarily due to the divestment of the company’s video solutions, communication systems, and intrusion management business completed in May 2025.

Commenting on the company’s performance, Guruprasad Mudlapur said the company had achieved strong growth despite persistent supply chain disruptions and evolving market dynamics. He noted that increased automotive production volumes, particularly in passenger cars and tractors, contributed significantly to the year’s performance. Mr Mudlapur also highlighted the strategic importance of the company’s recently announced joint venture with Tata AutoComp Systems, stating that the collaboration would help accelerate Bosch’s participation in India’s expanding e-mobility ecosystem.

For the full financial year FY26, Bosch Limited recorded revenue from operations of INR 20,035 crores, reflecting growth of 10.8 percent over the previous year. Profit Before Tax, including gains from the divested businesses, stood at INR 3,642 crores, while Profit After Tax reached INR 2,770 crores, representing 13.8 percent of annual revenue. The company’s Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of INR 270 per share for FY26.

Looking ahead, Bosch expects India’s transformation into a global automotive and manufacturing hub to create long-term opportunities across electrification, connected mobility, hydrogen technologies, and industrial automation. The company also sees significant growth potential in infrastructure-led sectors beyond mobility, while remaining watchful of geopolitical developments and global supply chain risks.

Bosch has maintained a strong presence in India since 1951 and operates across multiple sectors, including mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy solutions. With a wide network of manufacturing and development facilities, the company continues to play a key role in advancing next-generation mobility and technology solutions in the region.

Globally, the Bosch Group operates across more than 60 countries, focusing on areas such as automation, electrification, digitalisation, and sustainability. The planned acquisition reinforces Bosch Limited’s commitment to strengthening its position as a comprehensive mobility solutions provider in India.
