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.
