2700% Dividend Announced: Bosch FY26 profit rises 2.7% YoY to Rs 569 crore, Rs 270 payout proposed

Bosch Dividend Announcement: Bosch Limited has recommended a final dividend of Rs 270 per share (face value Rs 10) for FY25–26, subject to shareholder approval at its AGM on August 11, 2026.

Bosch FY26 performance

The company posted a stable year, with revenue from operations at Rs 20,035 crore, up 10.8 per cent YoY. Growth was largely driven by strong demand in the automotive segment and continued traction in mobility solutions.

Net profit came in at Rs 2,770 crore, with margins at 13.8 per cent, supported by a healthier product mix. Profit before tax stood at Rs 3,642 crore, which also included gains from the divestment of its video solutions and security systems business.

Dividend cut despite stable earnings

The board’s recommendation of Rs 270 per share is sharply lower than the Rs 512 per share payout in FY25, even though profitability remained steady.

At current valuation levels, the dividend yield is around 1.38 per cent.

Q4 FY26: Auto demand supports growth

In the January–March quarter, Bosch Limited reported 13.3 per cent YoY revenue growth, helped by robust automotive demand.

The quarter performance reflected steady momentum in core mobility businesses, despite continued global supply chain pressures and macro uncertainty.

Joint venture announced

During the year, Bosch entered a joint venture with Wheels India and Brakes India to develop commercial vehicle air system solutions. It will hold a 50 per cent stake in the new entity, strengthening its presence in the commercial mobility space.

Board updates

On the governance side, Dr. Pawan Kumar Goenka completed his tenure as Independent Director. Mr. Ramesh Ramadurai joined as Additional Director and Non-Executive Independent Director for a five-year term starting May 21, 2026.

Management commentary

Management said the focus going forward is on software-led mobility, electrification, and hydrogen technologies. With strong engineering capabilities and local manufacturing strength, Bosch expects to stay aligned with long-term shifts in India’s auto sector.
