Bosch Limited reported a strong Q4 FY25 with revenue of INR 49,106 million, up 16% YoY, driven by power solutions, two-wheeler, and aftermarket segments. EBITDA grew 16.1% to INR 6,469 million, with margin improvement from cost controls and localization. Full-year revenue rose 8.1% to INR 180,874 million, EBITDA margin expanded 30 bps to 12.8%. PAT margin fell to 11.3% due to removal of indexation benefit. Key growth drivers included OBD2-related sensor sales, premiumization, and new NOx sensor line with 2.1 million annual capacity by 2027. Management expects continued outperformance vs. industry, driven by regulation, electrification, and exports. Risk: tariff volatility and delayed BS7 norms could impact near-term demand.
