“Amid a challenging business environment, we concluded FY24-25 with strong revenue growth and increased sales across businesses,” Mudlapur said.

With a growing emphasis on electrification, digitalization, and sustainable transportation, he said, India is poised to emerge as a significant automotive powerhouse.

“In the coming years, we expect substantial growth in India as a strategic market, with an accelerated shift towards digitalization, electrification and sustainable mobility,” Mudlapur said.

Bosch is hopeful that the Indian market will continue to expand in the future. Subject to shareholder approval, the board has suggested a final dividend of Rs 512 per equity share of Rs 10.
