Independent Auditor's Review Report on the Quarterly Unaudited Standalone Financial Results
of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended
Review Report to
The Board of Directors
Bosch Limited
2. The Company' s Management is responsible for the preparation of the Statement in accordance
with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34,
(Ind AS 34) " Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
The Statement has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Our responsibility is
to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review
Engagements (SRE) 24 l 0, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to
whether the Statement is free of material mi sstatement. A review of interim financial
information cons ists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing
and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
op1111on.
The opinion expressed by us on the standalone financial statements of the Company for the
year ended March 31 , 2023 vide our report dated May l 0, 2023 , was also qualified in respect
of the above matter.

required to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it
is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Press release
Bosch Limited registers 12.8 percent profit before July 31, 2023
tax in Q1 FY 2023-24 Corp/C/CGR-IN
CIN: L85110KA1951PLC000761
The Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at INR 533 crores (60 million euros) which is
12.8 percent of total revenue from operations, an increase of 21.7 percent
increase over the same quarter of previous year. The Profit After Tax (PAT)
stood at INR 409 crores (46 million euros) which is 9.8 percent of revenue from
operations.
“We are optimistic about the future as we navigate a rapidly changing global
market with positive trends in the Indian automotive industry which is witnessing
a shift towards premium vehicles and cleaner fuel options and electrification.
Hence, embracing change is crucial and we are ready to leverage technological
advances to cater to the evolving consumer preferences,” said Guruprasad
Mudlapur, Managing Director, Bosch Limited and President of Bosch Group in
India. “With India emerging as a promising market and our focus on green
hydrogen and innovative automotive offerings, Bosch is well-positioned for
growth and success in the year ahead.”
Rising income levels and an increased focus on value-driven factors are driving
growth in the categories of scooters, premium motorcycles, and SUVs.
While there are still supply bottlenecks, the global semiconductor supply situation
has eased in the recent months. The weakening of demand due to global
economic crisis has helped better distribution of semiconductor supplies across
the world. As a result, the two-wheeler business has experienced a remarkable
sales recovery, with a substantial growth of 42.8 percent compared to the same
quarter last year.
Bosch Limited: outlook for fiscal year 2023-24 under the new leadership
Speaking about the outlook for the upcoming fiscal year, Mudlapur commented,
“Bosch is poised to embrace the transformative changes ahead of us. Cleaner
fuels, green hydrogen and electrification take center stage in our commitment to
a climate-neutral future. Bosch India will showcase the BS6 stage 2 hydrogen
engine truck, by early 2024. This is also exemplified by the successful launch of
our first hydrogen-powered demonstrator vehicle in India in June 2023 which
comes after the announcement about the launch of the pilot Hydrogen Engine
Testing infrastructure in Bengaluru later last year.”
As the global market shows signs of recovery, Bosch approaches it with cautious
optimism amidst interest rate fluctuations and affordability concerns. Navigating
the ever-evolving automotive industry's transformation, the company stands
ready to seize opportunities, particularly in India's thriving infrastructure sector.
Over the next decade, India presents immense growth potential in the areas of
innovation, technology, quality, and manufacturing depth. Bosch is committed to
investing in cutting-edge R&D to develop groundbreaking solutions that drive the
company towards a greener and more sustainable future.
