Financial stats pending filing verification
Bosch Limited reported a strong Q2 FY25 with revenue from operations at INR 4,394 crore, up 64% YoY, driven by broad-based growth across mobility aftermarket, power solutions, and consumer goods. EBITDA grew 141% YoY to INR 561 crore, with margins expanding 90 bps to 12.8% due to favorable product mix and localization benefits. The automotive industry saw a slight 1% decline, but Bosch outperformed, supported by diesel system sales and export growth of ~10%. Management expects FY25 to mirror FY24 growth trajectory, with cautious optimism on festive demand. Key risks include high passenger vehicle inventory (~70 days) and potential pre-buy volatility ahead of TREM V norms. The company continues to localize components and invest in connected solutions and safety systems.
बॉश लिमिटेड ने Q2 FY25 में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई 4,394 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 64% ज्यादा है। यह वृद्धि ऑटो पार्ट्स, बिजली उपकरण और उपभोक्ता सामानों की बिक्री बढ़ने से हुई। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 561 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल से 141% ज्यादा है। मुनाफे की दर (मार्जिन) 12.8% हो गई, जो पहले से बेहतर है। ऑटो उद्योग में 1% गिरावट आई, लेकिन बॉश ने डीज़ल सिस्टम और निर्यात (10% बढ़ोतरी) के दम पर बेहतर प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी को त्योहारी सीजन में अच्छी मांग की उम्मीद है। जोखिमों में कारों का ज्यादा स्टॉक (70 दिन) और नए नियमों (TREM V) से पहले खरीदारी में उतार-चढ़ाव शामिल है। बॉश भारत में पार्ट्स बनाने और नई तकनीकों में निवेश जारी रखेगी।
