Bosch Limited, a key player in India’s automotive and technology landscape, reported a 16% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations for Q4 FY 2024–25, totaling INR 4,911 crores (EUR 539 million). This performance was largely driven by increased demand in the tractor and passenger car segments, reinforcing Bosch’s resilience in a competitive market.
The company reported a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of INR 778 crores (EUR 85 million)—up 17.8% from the same quarter last year—accounting for 15.9% of operational revenue. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at INR 554 crores (EUR 61 million), or 11.3% of revenue.
Bosch’s Mobility business sector led the charge with a 14.9% quarter-over-quarter growth, buoyed by strong performance in off-highway and passenger car markets. Meanwhile, its Beyond Mobility sector posted modest gains of 1.7%.
Commenting on the performance, Guruprasad Mudlapur, President of Bosch Group in India and MD of Bosch Limited, said, “Amid a challenging business environment, we concluded FY24–25 with strong revenue growth and increased sales across businesses. Our ability to stay agile and customer-centric has been key to our success.”

PBT (excluding exceptional items) surged by 16.9% to INR 2,731 crores (EUR 300 million), while PAT stood at INR 2,013 crores (EUR 221 million), reflecting 11.1% of revenue.
The Mobility business sector showed a 7% growth in product sales, driven by strong performance in passenger and tractor segments, while the Powertrain Solutions division grew 5.8% fueled by rising exports and domestic tractor demand.

As part of its strategic realignment, Bosch Limited has decided to divest its 6.97% stake in Nivaata Systems Private Limited (Routematic), a company it invested in during 2020 to boost digital solutions in corporate commuting. Bosch stated the goals of that investment had been successfully met.
In a rewarding move for shareholders, the Board recommended a final dividend of INR 512 per share for FY 2024–25.
Outlook for FY 2025–26 and Bosch Group Strategy
Looking ahead, Bosch anticipates India’s emergence as a global automotive hub, fueled by engineering excellence, digitalization, electrification, and sustainable mobility. The company aims to expand its footprint both in mobility and non-mobility sectors.
“We are fully geared to lead this change,” said Mudlapur, highlighting Bosch’s commitment to remaining the preferred technology partner for OEMs in India and globally.
At the global level, the Bosch Group reported EUR 90.3 billion in sales for 2024, down 1.4% year-on-year, citing a challenging market environment. EBIT from operations stood at EUR 3.1 billion, down from EUR 4.8 billion in 2023. However, Chairman Stefan Hartung reaffirmed commitment to Strategy 2030, aiming to make Bosch one of the top three players in its core markets within five years.
“Our Strategy 2030 provides the direction we need to navigate global uncertainty while staying focused on long-term growth and financial independence,” Hartung added.
