Bosch Ltd has reported a 3% increase in its consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter, reaching Rs 568 crore, compared to Rs 553.6 crore in the same period last year. The company's board has also approved a joint venture with TSF Group firms Wheels India Ltd and Brakes India Pvt Ltd to develop solutions for the commercial vehicle air system segment.
Consolidated revenue from operations in the fourth quarter stood at Rs 5,565.7 crore, up from Rs 4,910.6 crore in the previous year. The mobility segment saw a 23.3% increase in product sales, while the power solutions business grew by 27.4%, driven by robust growth in the automotive market. The two-wheeler business experienced a significant 63.4% growth due to higher sales of exhaust gas sensors in preparation for the OBD-II norms implementation from April 1, 2025.
However, beyond mobility segments, product sales declined by 9.1% over the same quarter of the previous financial year, primarily due to the sale of the 'video solutions, access and intrusions and communication systems' business in May 2025. Total expenses for the quarter rose to Rs 4,913.6 crore from Rs 4,369 crore a year ago.
“FY25-26 has been a year of strong revenue growth driven by increased production volumes in the automotive segment, mainly passenger cars and tractors. This performance, achieved amidst ongoing supply chain challenges, testifies to our operational agility.”
Guruprasad Mudlapur, President of the Bosch Group in India and Managing Director, Bosch Ltd
