As reported by Business Standard, EBITDA for Q1FY27 came in at ₹821 crore with corresponding EBITDA margins at 14.1%, showing 60 basis points expansion year-on-year. Resultant profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter came in at ₹705 crore, though this was down 37% year-on-year due to lower other income and exceptional gains in the base quarter. Mobility business grew 25.7% YoY while Beyond Mobility business sector grew 29% on a year-on-year basis, with the mobility segment benefiting from increased sales in the 2W segment and power solutions.
According to Business Standard, Bosch operates primarily in the manufacturing and trading business in the Mobility sector, which constitutes around 89.4% of total sales in 2025-26. Business beyond Mobility, comprising consumer goods (power tools), energy & building technology (fire safety), and industrial technology, had a share of 10.6%. The company's mobility aftermarket segment grew by 9.6% YoY, with June 2026 recording its highest-ever monthly sales. Growth was driven by lubricants, batteries, spark plugs and braking systems, along with rapid expansion of workshop programmes and new product launches.
Looking ahead, Bosch expects the automotive industry to grow 8% in the September quarter, aided by festive demand, stronger rural cash flows, and infrastructure spending. As reported by Business Standard, the company remains confident in its long-term prospects, citing India's growth potential, evolving regulatory landscape, technology-led opportunities, and its strong portfolio. Management remains confident of sustaining the improvement trend in EBITDA margin supported by higher localisation, productivity gains, favourable product mix, and Bosch's global purchasing setup. The company's PE ratio stands at 58.63 while P/B ratio is 9.33, reflecting its strong market position.
