Q & A Highlights

Q: With the volume outlook appearing flattish for next year, is there scope for Bosch to increase content per vehicle and outpace industry volume growth? A: Guruprasad Mudlapur, Managing Director and CTO, explained that Bosch expects a constant increase in content per vehicle, which is a trend that will continue. While the company maintains a cautious outlook due to geopolitical uncertainties, it is prepared to ramp up production if required.

Q: Why is Bosch opting for joint ventures for new product lines like eAxle and brake systems, given its strong R&D capabilities? A: Guruprasad Mudlapur stated that Bosch is not currently a player in electronic control and software-driven modules for air systems. Partnering with established players like the TSF Group allows Bosch to quickly enter the market with combined expertise, without changing its Tier 1 position.

Q: Can Bosch India become a global manufacturer or a preferred low-cost supplier within the Bosch Group’s supply chain? A: Guruprasad Mudlapur noted that Bosch operates on an international production network basis, with production centers set up regionally. While Bosch India already exports a small percentage globally, the company is exploring opportunities to expand its role, provided it makes economic and commercial sense.

Q: What is Bosch’s preparedness and opportunity regarding the upcoming BS7 norms? A: Guruprasad Mudlapur confirmed that Bosch is well-prepared for the BS7 norms, having already demonstrated technologies and worked with OEMs on the European equivalent, Euro 7. Bosch is ready to support the transition if the government legislates it.

Q: Could you provide an update on the joint venture with Tata AutoComp and its expected revenue generation? A: Guruprasad Mudlapur mentioned that the joint venture is on track to start operations by mid-2026, with the first shipments expected in the third quarter of the next calendar year. Orders have been received from clients, and more details will be shared once the JV is fully established.
