Bosch Limited reported Q3 FY26 revenue of INR 4,886 crore, up 9.4% YoY, driven by strong performance in Power Solutions (+19.5%) and Two-Wheeler & Powersports (+58.3%) segments. EBITDA grew 5.1% YoY to INR 612 crore, with margin at 12.5% impacted by provisions for the new labor code. PAT growth was 16.1% YoY (5.3% excluding exceptional items). Management highlighted broad-based demand across PV, CV, tractor, and two-wheeler segments, with expectations of record production in PV, tractors, and two-wheelers for FY26. The India-EU FTA is seen as a positive mid-term opportunity. Key risks include margin pressure from product mix and potential delays in hydrogen infrastructure rollout.
बॉश लिमिटेड ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की तीसरी तिमाही में 4,886 करोड़ रुपये का कारोबार किया, जो पिछले साल से 9.4% ज़्यादा है। यह वृद्धि पावर सॉल्यूशंस (+19.5%) और टू-व्हीलर व पॉवरस्पोर्ट्स (+58.3%) सेगमेंट की मजबूत बिक्री से आई। कंपनी की कमाई (EBITDA) 612 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो 5.1% बढ़ी, लेकिन नए श्रम कानून के प्रावधानों के कारण मुनाफा मार्जिन 12.5% पर सीमित रहा। शुद्ध मुनाफा 16.1% बढ़ा (एकमुस्त वस्तुओं को छोड़कर 5.3%)। प्रबंधन ने कार, ट्रैक्टर और दोपहिया वाहनों की मांग मजबूत बताई। भारत-यूरोपीय संघ मुक्त व्यापार समझौते से भविष्य में फायदा होने की उम्मीद है। जोखिमों में उत्पाद मिश्रण से मार्जिन पर दबाव और हाइड्रोजन बुनियादी ढांचे में देरी शामिल है।
