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.
बॉश लिमिटेड ने पहली तिमाही (अप्रैल-जून 2025) में 4,788.6 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 10.9% ज्यादा है। यह वृद्धि मुख्य रूप से पावर सॉल्यूशंस (+13.7%) और दोपहिया वाहनों के लिए एग्जॉस्ट गैस सेंसर (OBD 2 नियमों के कारण) की बिक्री से हुई। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 23% बढ़कर 639.3 करोड़ रुपये हो गया, जिसमें कम लागत और ज्यादा बिक्री का हाथ रहा। शुद्ध मुनाफा (PAT) 23.3% तक पहुंच गया, क्योंकि कंपनी ने अपना बिल्डिंग टेक्नोलॉजी कारोबार बेचा। प्रबंधन ने कहा कि ऑटो सेक्टर में सुधार धीमा है, लेकिन ट्रैक्टर और तिपहिया वाहन बेहतर कर रहे हैं। आगे की योजना: देश में ही उत्पादन बढ़ाना, निर्यात और इलेक्ट्रिक वाहन (EV) तकनीक में अग्रणी बने रहना। चेतावनी: सितंबर 2025 से दुर्लभ पृथ्वी चुंबकों की कमी से उत्पादन प्रभावित हो सकता है।
