Recently, Bosch launched a digital marketplace to offer its mobility-related assets under one platform to improve utilization and efficiency elements across the ecosystem.  

India: Celebrating 100 years of presence in the Indian market, Bosch has planned to invest USD270 million (INR 2000 crores) over the next five years to promote the localization of advanced automotive technologies. This move supports PM Narendra Modi's vision of making India self-reliant, providing technologies for economical, sustainable, and convenient mobility experiences in the country. The company will continue to make huge investments in India and increase employment opportunities for young people through government intervention and active partnerships with educational institutions. Additionally, Bosch has been taking progressive steps to establish itself as a market leader in the software-dominated future of mobility, integrating its expertise in automotive, electronics, and software.

As per Bosch estimates, everyone in the third vehicle in India will be electrically powered. Thus, the internal combustion engine (ICE) will be become an essential part of the powertrain mix, especially in commercial vehicles and off-highway segments. Being a global leader in electric powertrain solutions, Bosch provides more than one technology to make electric mobility more sustainable.

Bosch India is an AIoT company that leverages artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, automation, and digitalization to develop smart, efficient, secure, and sustainable products. The company aims to expand its localization share by more than 10% by 2025, expanding its portfolio of digital assets from APIs to data to end-to-end solutions, services, and hardware involved in the complete automotive life cycle.
