Bosch Limited reported Q1 FY26 revenue of INR 4,788.6 crore, up 10.9% YoY, driven by strong growth in Power Solutions (+13.7%) and Two-Wheeler business (exhaust gas sensors from OBD 2 norms). EBITDA grew 23% YoY to INR 639.3 crore, aided by revenue growth and improved material costs. PAT margin jumped to 23.3% due to profit on sale of Building Technologies business. Management highlighted cautious market recovery in auto segments, with tractors and three-wheelers outperforming. Guidance remains qualitative: focus on localization, export growth, and EV technology leadership. Key risk: rare earth magnet supply constraints could impact production from September 2025.
