Guruprasad Mudlapur, President of the Bosch Group in India and Managing Director of Bosch Limited, shared insights on the future of electric vehicles and hydrogen technology in India. At a press conference in Bengaluru, Mudlapur expressed confidence in the growth of electric vehicles, foreseeing that by 2030, a significant portion of passenger cars and two-wheelers will be electric. He highlighted the potential for scooters to lead this transition, while heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) are expected to shift towards hydrogen-powered solutions. Bosch Limited is actively involved in projects focusing on hydrogen technology, aiming for 10% of HCVs to run on hydrogen by 2030. The company is working in collaboration with Bosch Germany to develop hydrogen engine technology tailored for the Indian market, emphasizing a commitment to sustainable mobility. Despite challenges such as the low charging infrastructure in India, Bosch Limited remains optimistic about the transition to electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Additionally, Mudlapur addressed the global semiconductor supply situation, stating that while the criticality has eased, vigilance is required to navigate potential fluctuations. Despite market challenges like the impact of elections and heatwaves on automotive sales, Bosch Limited reported a 14.7% increase in profit before tax in the June quarter, reflecting steady growth. The company's total revenue from operations also saw a 3.8% rise compared to the previous year, showcasing resilience in the face of market dynamics.
