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.
बॉश लिमिटेड ने वित्त वर्ष 2025 की चौथी तिमाही में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई 49,106 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 16% ज्यादा है। यह वृद्धि पावर सॉल्यूशंस, दोपहिया और बिक्री के बाद के बाजार से आई। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 16.1% बढ़कर 6,469 करोड़ रुपये हुआ। लागत कम करने और स्थानीय उत्पादन से मार्जिन में सुधार हुआ। पूरे साल की कमाई 8.1% बढ़कर 1,80,874 करोड़ रुपये रही। मुनाफा मार्जिन 12.8% पर पहुंच गया। हालांकि, शुद्ध मुनाफा मार्जिन 11.3% पर गिर गया क्योंकि इंडेक्सेशन का फायदा खत्म हो गया। कंपनी ने OBD2 सेंसर, प्रीमियम उत्पादों और नए NOx सेंसर लाइन से वृद्धि की उम्मीद है। 2027 तक इसकी सालाना क्षमता 21 लाख यूनिट होगी। प्रबंधन का मानना है कि नियमों, बिजली वाहनों और निर्यात से कंपनी बाजार से बेहतर करेगी। जोखिम: टैरिफ में उतार-चढ़ाव और BS7 नियमों में देरी से मांग प्रभावित हो सकती है।
