“Here in India, the transformation of Bosch into a leading IoT company is especially evident and we have been investing heavily to drive this forward,” said Volkmar Denner, Chairman of the Board of Management, Bosch Group.

In line with this change, the Adugodi plant in Bengaluru is being revamped from a manufacturing facility into a technology hub with investments of ₹370 crore in the last three years and more than eight lakh electric vehicles (EVs) on the road worldwide contain Bosch components.

Simultaneously, Bosch set up an AI centre in Bengaluru, and a Connected Mobility Solutions division in India too, with an intent to shape the mobility of the future from a technology and standards perspective.

The German major’s India arm saw its mobility solutions registering a 5.9 per cent growth, domestic business grew 8.6 per cent (higher than industry average of 7 per cent) and business sectors beyond mobility solutions such as security systems, energy and building solutions posted 16.8 per cent growth.
