Bosch Limited reported a robust financial performance in the fiscal year ending 2025-26, achieving a total revenue from operations of INR 20,035 crores, marking a 10.8% increase over the previous year. The company's operating profit (EBIT) stood at INR 2,258 crores, reflecting improvements driven by revenue growth, reduced material costs, and favorable product mix.

The Profit Before Tax (PBT), excluding exceptional items, was reported at INR 3,086 crores, or 15.4% of total revenue from operations, up from 15.1% in the previous financial year. The Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY 2025-26 reached INR 2,770 crores, which equates to 13.8% of the total revenue from operations.

During the year, Bosch Limited invested INR 410 crores in fixed assets to enhance capacity for new and existing products and undertake machine upgrades. Furthermore, the company dedicated resources toward innovation, spending INR 601 crores—approximately 3.0% of its revenue—on application and engineering services provided to customers.

Strategic Moves and Restructuring​

In terms of corporate developments, Bosch Limited completed the acquisition of Bosch Chassis Systems India Private Limited (RBIC), a subsidiary of the Bosch group, in June 2026. The total purchase consideration for this acquisition did not exceed INR 9,068.68 crores and was financed through internal accruals.

The company also finalized the divestment of its entire 6.97% stake in Nivaata Systems Private Limited, having originally acquired it with a strategic objective to build a data lake based on fleet data. The sale transaction closed at INR 16,300 per share, compared to the initial acquisition cost of INR 13,101 per share.

Looking forward, Bosch Limited announced two key joint venture (JV) opportunities in India's e-mobility segment. In partnership with Tata AutoComp Systems Limited (TACO), the company aims to launch a JV focused on engineering and manufacturing e-Axle systems and electric motors. Separately, it agreed to form a JV with Wheels India Limited and Brakes India Private Limited (part of TSF group) for developing solutions for commercial vehicles in the air system segment.

In organizational restructuring, Robert Bosch Manufacturing and Technology Private Limited (RBIM), which had been incorporated but remained inactive, was voluntarily struck off following a review concluding that it no longer served a strategic or operational purpose for the Company.
