MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Economic Scenario
Global economy:

Global economy in 2025 was characterized by resilient growth,
ending up at 3.4 % with uneven performance across United States
(2.1 %) & Europe (1.4 %) & emerging and developing economies
namely China (5.0 %) & India (7.6 %) leading the growth. While
inflation declined in many nations, high geopolitical tensions, trade
protectionism, and tariffs and elevated interest rates marked the
year. Average global inflation for 2025 was 4.1 %. Global trade with
the US witnessed some front-loading of imports in H1 of 2025 with
uneven tariffs for different countries, affecting trade in the later
months. Since then, the tariffs have been rolled back due to US
Supreme Court rulings.

In 2026, the global economy faces renewed stress as the conflict in
the Middle East threatens growth and inflation, following resilience
in previous year. Assuming limited impact of middle east conflict,
in scope and duration, global growth is projected to moderate to
3.1 % in 2026 and 3.2 % in 2027. U.S. is expected to grow by 2.3 %,
Europe by 1.1 %, and key developing economies, namely China &
India are expected to grow by 4.4 % and 6.5 % respectively. Global
headline inflation is projected to rise moderately to 4.4 % in 2026.

Foreign exchange volatility is expected to persist, especially in
emerging markets which are sensitive to capital inflows and high
oil imports. However, global activity could improve if productivity
gains from AI materialize more rapidly & geopolitical and trade
tensions ease on a sustained basis.

Indian Economy:

India remained the bright spot clocking high growth (7.6 % GDP)
in 2025-26, supported by strong domestic consumption with tax
& fiscal supports by government. Foreign Direct Investments (FDI)
and Foreign Portfolio Investments (FPI) were weak in the entire
financial year compared to previous years and has led to wider
trade deficits and weaker Rupee.

GDP for 2026-27 is expected to grow by 6.5 % (less than previous
year), affected by headwinds from geo-political impact, higher
inflation (base effect & elevated commodity prices) and weak
monsoon forecast. On the fiscal side, last year's GST and income
tax support aided growth. However, geopolitical risks and inflation
pressures could moderate consumption momentum in 2026-27.
Manufacturing growth outlook is closely tied to global demand,
with exports exposed to trade dynamics and external slowdown
risks.

Depreciation pressure in INR continues, driven by persistent
capital outflows, higher oil prices, and global uncertainty.

Industry Structure and Development
(A) Automotive

Indian Automotive Industry 2025-26: Robust growth
supported by GST 2.0 tailwinds

2025-26 was a year of contrasting halves. Apr-Aug remained
muted amid consumer caution and geopolitical tensions;
Sep-Mar saw a decisive upshift as GST 2.0 improved
affordability, lifted sentiment, and triggered broad-based
sales momentum. The recovery was driven by GST rate cuts,
a favorable monsoon boosting rural demand, and supportive
macroeconomic measures including repo rate reductions and
income tax relief, which improved affordability and boosted
consumer confidence. As a result, overall, 4-Wheeler vehicle
production rose 12.2 % Y-on-Y, with the industry overcoming
early volatility to exit the fiscal on a strong footing compared
to 2024-25.

In 2025-26, the electric vehicle (EV) market expanded
across all segments, signaling a broad-based shift toward
electrification. Electrification in Passenger Cars also gained
strong momentum in the segment, aided by expanding
charging infrastructure and a broader portfolio of feature-
rich models across price points. Electric 2-wheelers recorded
healthy growth, reflecting a more sustainable, demand-led
transition compared to earlier subsidy-driven spikes, while
3-wheelers gained momentum on the back of rising last-mile
delivery demand. Electric buses also saw steady growth,
supported by government initiatives such as PM e-Bus
Sewa. Overall, the expansion of charging infrastructure and
continued policy support accelerated EV adoption.

Vehicle segment wise performance in 2025-26
Passenger Car (PC): Consistent UV demand and GST
impact drove growth

Passenger vehicle production reached an all-time high of
5.6 million units in 2025-26 with a growth of 10.2 % Y-o-Y,

marking a shift from steady to robust growth, driven by
strong consumer demand and supportive macroeconomic
conditions.

While sentiment was impacted in the first half due to
geopolitical tensions, particularly tariff-related uncertainties,
demand rebounded sharply post-September 2025,
supported by GST benefits, sustained SUV traction, and
improved consumer confidence.

Electrification also gained strong momentum in the
segment, aided by expanding charging infrastructure and a
broader portfolio of feature-rich models across price points.
Additionally, inventory levels normalized to ~28 days (from
~52 days in March 2025), indicating one of the healthiest
channel positions in recent years.

Commercial Vehicle (CV): Strong growth driven by
sustained infrastructure investment and e-commerce
demand

The Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) segment delivered
strong 15.8 % Y-on-Y growth, returning to its 2018-19 peak,
supported by sustained infrastructure-led demand and
robust freight activity. Higher infrastructure spending (~10 %
increase) further strengthened demand, while GST rate cuts
boosted freight movement and drove replacement cycles.
The bus segment recorded double-digit growth, led by
accelerating EV adoption, backed by state-led electrification
initiatives, rising urban mobility needs, and an increased
focus on sustainability.

Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) production grew 10.5 %
Y-on-Y, surpassing its 2023-24 peak, driven by sustained
infrastructure spending and festive-led demand supporting
freight and last-mile connectivity. Additionally, GST-led
benefits and repo rate cuts improved affordability, unlocking
both deferred and replacement demand.

Tractors: Good & timely monsoon led to robust
agricultural output fueling the demand

The tractor segment emerged as a standout performer
in 2025-26, registering robust 21.8 % Y-on-Y growth and
surpassing its previous peak seen in 2022-23. Favorable
monsoon conditions played a pivotal role, supporting strong
Kharif output and improving Rabi crop prospects, which
significantly boosted farm incomes and sentiment.

Healthy reservoir levels further enhanced irrigation
availability, aiding overall farm productivity. In addition,
higher Minimum Support Prices (MSPs), improved rural
liquidity, and supportive policy measures such as GST
benefits strengthened purchasing power in rural markets.
This, coupled with increased mechanization across regions,
drove strong volume growth.

2-Wheeler (2W): Improved affordability & rural cashflow
coupled with steady urban demand led growth

The 2-wheeler segment recorded a robust 11.2 % Y-on-Y
growth in 2025-26, surpassing its 2018-19 peak. Growth
was supported by improved rural cash flows, steady urban
demand, and a widening product portfolio across both entry-
level and premium segments.

Shift towards higher end 2-wheelers, rising participation of
women riders, higher fleet and last-mile mobility demand

further contributed to volume expansion. GST rationalization and income tax relief continued to enhance affordability and support
disposable incomes.

Electric 2-wheelers gained further traction, with adoption becoming increasingly demand-driven. Additionally, strong festive and
wedding-season demand, particularly in H2 2025-26, provided an added boost, enabling the segment to close the year on a strong note.

3-Wheelers: GST boost and e-commerce growth drove segment momentum

The 3-wheeler segment recorded strong 24.2 % Y-on-Y growth in 2025-26, surpassing its 2018-19 peak, driven by robust demand for
passenger mobility and expanding last-mile connectivity.

Growth was further supported by steady adoption of electric 3-wheelers, aided by lower operating costs. The segment's evolution
reflects a broader structural shift toward clean mobility and cost-efficient last-mile delivery, with e-3Wheelers steadily gaining share
from CNG.

Trend of Vehicle Production in the Indian automotive market for the past 5 financial years

Indian Automotive Industry outlook for 2026-27:

The Indian automotive market outlook for 2026-27 remains
in the growth trajectory, with the expectation of a high
single-digit growth supported by strong macroeconomic
fundamentals and tailwinds from GST rationalization.
However, the sector remains at a crossroads, as escalating
geopolitical tensions could drive cost pressures and
disruptions across the automotive value chain.

(B) Non-AutomotiveConsumer goods - Power Tools

India's resilient & rapidly growing economy, continued
infrastructure development, and sustained manufacturing
growth are key macroeconomic drivers supporting the power
tools market in 2025-26. Government led infrastructure
spending remained structurally high during 2025-26, with
capital expenditure maintained at ~'11.2 Lakhs Crores under
Union Budget 2025-26, reinforcing demand across roads,
railways, urban infrastructure, logistics, and housing. India's

particularly from Chinese / new entrants who are gaining
traction in the lower to mid-price segment and challenging
established professional players. However, during the year,
the regulatory environment continued to tighten imports,
with increased focus on BIS certification, quality compliance,
and license renewals. These measures are gradually curbing
the inflow of sub-standard products and supporting a shift
towards compliant, branded offerings. This development
is structurally favorable for organized players like Bosch
Limited, who are investing in quality, safety, and localized
manufacturing, while also contributing to improved long-term
industry sustainability. Total revenue of Power tools segment

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS

Bosch Limited in India is operating in a phase of significant business
transformation. While there are global headwinds, Bosch India
remains on a strong growth trajectory, with ambitions to achieve
multifold growth over the coming years. The organization continues
to benefit from its strong legacy in automotive, engineering, and
manufacturing, complemented by a deep and trusted customer
connect. To sustain and accelerate this growth ambition, Bosch
India must adapt rapidly to a changing external environment.
Market expectations are shifting towards affordable quality and
faster innovation. Growth in electric vehicles, software-defined
mobility, connected systems, and smart manufacturing is
fundamentally reshaping the business landscape. To enable
this transition at Bosch India, we are driving a delicate balance
between sustaining the current core business capabilities at one
end while simultaneously investing in future-ready technologies
and capabilities to build the growth engine for future.

We at Bosch India is rethinking our workforce model. While
existing talent structures are strong in certain domains, we are
progressively building complementing capabilities in embedded
software, artificial intelligence, analytics, mechatronics, and digital
product development. At the same time, faster time-to-market
and increased localization are critical to positioning India as a
cost-effective innovation engine. Accordingly, the people strategy
now is prioritizing workforce transformation through reskilling,
upskilling, and sustained capability building. Through a focused

strategic workforce planning we are going beyond traditional
headcount management towards focus on role criticality,
demand forecasting, productivity optimization, and flexible
talent deployment. We are developing future ready skills through
structured capability academies, role-based learning journeys,
internal expert-led development, and measurable readiness for
future-critical roles.

a)    In addition, portfolio evolution, supply chain uncertainty, and
global volatility require Bosch India to strengthen internal
talent mobility, leadership resilience, and organizational
adaptability. Future leaders are further being equipped
to manage ambiguity, balance cost with innovation, drive
transformation, and build talent across functions and
businesses.

b)    Overall our HR organization is focused on enabling the
transformation through strategic workforce planning, talent
management, leadership and succession development,
internal career mobility, developing high-performance
culture, creating great employee experience and building
Bosch India as a Talent Magnet.

Strategic Workforce Planning

As Bosch India navigates the shift from traditional automotive
strengths toward electrification, hydrogen, hybrid vehicles, digital
mobility, smart manufacturing, cordless product expansion and
marketing excellence to drive business. Our workforce strategy is
now focused on building a talent pipeline to enable future business
needs. We have focused our efforts in buying scarce, fast-moving
digital and electrification capabilities, build core engineering
and leadership skills for scale and succession, and borrow
regulation-led or adjacent capabilities for flexibility from our global
network. Based on the analyses, largest increments are needed in
manufacturing, sales, and R&D. Hence, we have made proactive
plans to invest ahead of the curve by prioritizing critical capability
requirements for a future-ready workforce.

Succession Planning and Career Mobility

At Bosch, succession planning and career mobility are connected
levers to build a strong and future-ready talent pipeline. Our
succession planning approach is becoming more focused
and strategic, with clear attention on future-critical roles and
capabilities. By identifying key positions and assessing ready and
near-ready talent, we are building a stronger leadership pipeline
for the future. For senior roles, we are ensuring that multiple
successors are identified. Today we have close to 80 % successor
coverage across critical positions. In areas where specialized
capabilities are still emerging, we are also building an external
talent pipeline to complement internal readiness.

At Bosch Limited we have orchestrated a very enabling internal
market place where more than 180 talents have moved across roles
both within and across businesses. This in-turn created promising
career opportunities for associates and facilitated exposure at an
enterprise level beyond their respective functions.

Bosch launched Short-Term Exchange Program (STEP) which is
further supporting mobility by enabling associates to explore new
roles, teams, and business units through structured short-term
assignments and immersive learning experiences.

We currently have approximately 50 outbound and around 20
expatriates (XPATs) working with us through both short-term and
long-term international assignments. These opportunities enable

employees to gain valuable cross-cultural exposure, broaden their
global perspective, and enrich their professional development
across geographies.

To make career growth more visible and structured, Bosch has
also implemented a Job Architecture Program with clear job
descriptions and a consistent role framework aligned to business
needs. This has improved role clarity, strengthened workforce
planning, and created better visibility into career pathways. This is
implemented across businesses covering 84 % of total headcount.
Bosch is also leveraging AI by launching career lattice to make
career growth more personalized and future-focused, to match
employees' skills with potential emerging roles for development
opportunities. This is helping create a more transparent, agile,
and future-ready internal talent marketplace that supports growth,
reskilling, and retention.

Building High-Performance Culture

At Bosch, we recognize that incremental shifts will not be enough to
support our future ambitions. Bosch India is therefore consciously
evolving into a more dynamic and performance-oriented enterprise.
While process discipline remains one of our core strengths, it must
now be complemented by faster innovation, quicker decision¬
making, and greater speed in the market. In line with this shift,
our performance management approach is becoming sharper and
more continuous, with stronger emphasis on goal clarity, regular
feedback, capability building, and timely recognition.

A high-performance culture at Bosch is being anchored in stronger
accountability, recognition of strong performers, encouragement
of calculated risk-taking, and appropriate consequence
management for consistently suboptimal performance. We are
moving toward more meaningful performance differentiation
to reinforce meritocracy and ownership. To support this, we
have strengthened leadership calibration through the 9-box
methodology for performance and potential assessment, clarified
role-based expectations, and introduced clearer consequence
management practices to ensure differentiation is credible, fair,
and well accepted.

Bosch follows a structured rating framework for performance
differentiation. Employees in the lower performance band are
placed on focused improvement plans with tailored development
support and close performance monitoring. Those in the higher
performance band are recognized as future talent and are
supported through customized development journeys, including
strategic and global project exposure, along with differentiated
rewards aligned to their contribution and potential.

Bosch as a Talent Magnet

At Bosch talent acquisition and attraction now encompasses 4
strategic levers of business enablement. This includes future
proofing for leadership and niche roles through strategic hiring from
the lateral market, breaking gender narratives in manufacturing
thereby facilitating inclusive talent hiring, creating an ecosystem of
early careers to negate the twin challenge of dwindling non circuit
branches of engineering in academia and blurring lines in market
place where similar talent is targeted by manufacturing and also
divergent industries.

For entry level roles we have increased our early career absorption
of talent by almost 8 times over the last few years. In the last financial
year more than 25 % of external hires were women associates. Our
efforts in both acquiring and attracting talent has been recognized
through prestigious industry forums such as “People matters” and
Economic times”, “Gold in Employer Branding, Silver in Excellence
in Talent Acquisition" through multiple awards for excellence.

Leadership Capability Building and Learning Architecture

At Bosch, leadership development and learning are being
shaped as integrated enablers of business performance and
long-term organizational growth. The Leadership Enablement
and Development Framework is a focused intervention designed
to build a future-ready leadership bench by strengthening the
capabilities of leaders who play a critical role in driving business
performance and transformation. We are building future leaders
through self-assessments, one-on-one coaching, and customized
development programs. The are enabling the with qualities like
one-level-up thinking, customer centricity, radical collaboration
and bold decision-making with accountability.

This leadership agenda is closely linked to Bosch's broader
Learning & Competence strategy, which leverages strong in-house
expertise to continuously strengthen capabilities that support
and expand the core business. At Bosch Technical Centre India,
learning is viewed as an ongoing journey aligned with business
priorities and industry transformation. As mobility evolves through
electrification, connectivity, and digitalization, Bosch's learning
strategy is evolving in parallel to equip associates with the skills,
mindset, and adaptability needed to lead change.

A key enabler in this journey is the Bosch Learning Campus
(BLC), a state-of-the-art learning ecosystem that offers immersive
and future-ready learning experiences. Together, leadership
enablement and continuous learning form a critical pillar in building
a resilient, high-performing, and future-ready organization.

Overall, training delivery is as follows:

Valuable insights gathered from our associates have been
instrumental in shaping our approach. In response to associate
feedback, we have developed a customised TRS (Total Rewards
Statement) that articulates our comprehensive Employer
Value Proposition. This resource provides our associates with
transparent, on-demand access to information on a wide array of
topics, including individual compensation structures, best-in-class
benefits, work-life balance initiatives and extensive learning and
development programs. We encourage cross function movements
and have great programs which provide multiple development
opportunities through career related mobility for associates. We
also consciously strive towards living the culture of recognition in
Bosch and have programs directed towards increasing associate
participation and focussed team collaboration and appreciation
as a critical pillar for business success. Bosch has benchmarked
industry practices and implemented salary increments that are
higher than the market average, with the objective of retaining top
talent and ensuring competitive, market-aligned pay across the
organization.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

At Bosch, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is embedded as a
strategic driver of sustainable growth, innovation, and employee
engagement rather than a standalone initiative. The approach is
grounded in four core principles: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and
Belonging. This is operationalized through four pillars: gender
diversity, generational diversity, international diversity, and
inclusion of people with diverse physical and mental abilities.
Together, these create equitable access to opportunities,
strengthen culture, and build a future-ready workforce.

A key enabler of DEI is Bosch's Career Progression Program for
women, offering structured development across career stages
from early-career clarity with the program “In it to win it” to
executive readiness with “Flying lessons” including a dedicated
program for women in shopfloor roles. These interventions

combine diagnostics, mentoring, leadership development, and
capability building to strengthen the leadership pipeline.

We have improved our gender diversity from 11 % to 14 %,
supported by inclusive hiring, focused retention, and targeted
career development.

Gender diversity is not limited to white collar associates. We are
proud to say that we have made significant progress in hiring
women associates at the shopfloor. Our Chennai power tools plant
operates with more than 80 % women associates at the shopfloor
and Gangaikondan plant with 70 % women at the shopfloor,
delivering world class products and performance metrics. Bosch
supports associates with a two-shift day care facility to help early
mothers continue their careers with confidence. We also conduct
home visits for shopfloor associates to offer care and emotional
support during both difficult and important life moments. In
the event of the loss of an immediate family member, financial
assistance of '15,000 is provided under the bereavement policy,
the amount is credited within 48 hours in the associates bank
account.

International Women's Day 2026 further advanced inclusion
through leadership advocacy, expert perspectives, employee-led
dialogue, and supportive policies. Bosch's efforts have been
externally recognized through prestigious awards “Economic
Times HR Capital Award in the category of Most Inspiring
Workplace for Women - Gold”, validating its disciplined execution
and commitment to an inclusive workplace.

b) Industrial Relations / Employee Relations:

Employee Relations: Advancing Workplace Relations

The strategic intent of Employee Relations (ER) is to establish a
resilient, compliant, and people-centric ecosystem that enables
organizational compliance, strengthens governance, and
ensures business continuity. This is achieved through four
key strategic interventions - Assessment, Engagement, Conflict
Resolution and Capability Building.

Preparedness for Labour Code Implementation

A comprehensive Labour Code Playbook
was developed and released in August
2025, ahead of the regulatory rollout
on November 21, 2025, to support a
planned and consistent transition. Given
the significance of the Labour Codes in
reshaping India’s regulatory framework,
the playbook serves as a practical
reference to guide implementation. It

outlines applicability, provides interpretative clarity, and defines
key requirements, enabling a consistent approach across Bosch
locations. To support adoption, structured discussions and
training sessions were conducted for key stakeholders, including
HR, business leaders, and operational teams. These interventions
were aimed at building awareness, strengthening understanding of
regulatory provisions, and enabling their application in day-to-day
operations. This approach has strengthened compliance readiness,
improved governance practices, and supported more consistent
decision-making. In parallel, Labour Code awareness sessions and
workshops were conducted under Bosch ER Academy to educate
the stakeholders for smooth implementation of the changes. These
efforts have supported a structured transition towards Labour
Code compliance, while positioning Employee Relations as an
important contributor to a stable and compliant work environment.

Bosch ER Academy

Bosch progressed its capability-building journey under
the Bosch ERA framework with the launch of a Web-Based
Training (WBT) Module - Essentials of Employee Relations

at the ER Conference held on March 26, 2026. The module
provides a structured understanding of the evolution of work

and employment relationships, covering key aspects such as
industrial relations fundamentals, employment frameworks, and
workforce representation, thereby enabling consistent learning
at scale.

Building on existing ERA modules covering grievance management,
disciplinary process, contract labour management, and conflict
resolution, additional focused training sessions on “Dealing with
Collectives (Unions)” and “Demystifying Labour Codes” were
introduced. These interventions were designed to strengthen
leadership capability in managing workforce dynamics and
navigating regulatory changes, with emphasis on practical
application through case-based discussions and role-based
learning. These initiatives were rolled out across key stakeholder
groups, covering 531 participants, and have contributed to
improved readiness and a more consistent approach to employee
relations across the organization.

In another ER conference held at Nashik Plant under the theme
“AccelERating Growth”, further reinforced the role of ER as
a strategic enabler of business performance. The conference
brought together ER and HR leaders to align on priorities focused
on organizational agility, workforce stability, and productivity, while
enabling cross-location learning through the AccelERate showcase
of practical, growth-oriented initiatives.

contract validity, license limits, and work-hour thresholds, thereby
supporting improved oversight and risk management.

Vendor Compliance Management System run on Simpliance
Enabled Audit Logic (SEAL) tool and Establishment Compliance
Management System run on Simpliance Regulatory Module
(REMO) tool, provide a centralized platform for vendor compliance
and establishment compliance respectively. These platforms
enable timely submission, tracking, and closure of statutory
requirements, supported by compliance scoring and audit trails.
This has enhanced transparency, accountability, and audit
readiness across locations while reducing manual dependencies.
Collectively, these initiatives have strengthened the organization's
ability to manage compliance in a structured and consistent
manner, while improving visibility and control across ER processes.
Taken together, these efforts reflect a shift towards a more
structured, capability-led, and forward-looking Employee
Relations function - one that not only ensures compliance, but also
contributes to organizational stability, workforce confidence, and
sustained business continuity.

Bosch's continued focus on strengthening Employee Relations
practices has been recognized at leading industry platforms. At
the SICCI National Employee Relations Conference & Awards
2025 held in Chennai, Bosch was conferred the National Award
for “Organization with Proactive ER Practices” in the Large-Scale
Industry category. Building on this momentum, Bosch was also
honored at the “11th Edition HR Tech Summit & Awards 2026”
conducted by UBS Forum, under the category of “Most Innovative
HR Tech Award”. These recognitions serve as strong testimony to
the progress made in strengthening the ER and IR landscape at
Bosch.

Health and wellness

In 2025, Bosch India strengthened its “We Care” commitment
by taking a more holistic approach to employee health and
wellbeing, recognizing that a resilient workforce is essential to
long-term business success. The organization enhanced access
to quality healthcare by standardizing Health & Wellness Centers
and Occupational Health Centers across locations. This initiative
is enabled through a strategic partnership with an external
vendor that has a strong presence across the country. Bosch also
advanced its digital healthcare journey through the successful
rollout of Electronic Health Records (EHR), enabling seamless and
secure access to health information and continuity of care.

To ensure comprehensive support, Bosch continued to provide
robust medical protection through health insurance and the Bosch
Hospitalization Scheme (BHS), while also expanding emotional
wellbeing support through platforms such as Wysa, face-to-face
counseling, and Emotional Resilience Workshops for managers.
These initiatives helped foster psychologically safe workplaces and
improve both individual wellbeing and productivity.

Bosch also focused strongly on health awareness and preventive
care through high-engagement initiatives such as Run Bosch
Run 2025, the No Sugar Challenge 2.0, Executive Health Checks,
and the Health Index Program. Together, these efforts have had
a measurable impact, including an 18.8 % improvement in the
Health Index, reflecting a meaningful reduction in health risks
and reinforcing Bosch's commitment to a healthier, future-ready
workforce.

HR as a Strategic Business Partner

HR at Bosch is closely aligned with evolving business priorities
and plays an important role in enabling transformation. While
we continue to deliver error-free and digitally enabled services to
our associates, our focus is increasingly on becoming a strategic
partner that actively contributes to business performance,
workforce transformation, and capability development.

Bosch Limited is widely recognized as a Great Place to Work, and
our internal employee engagement survey, Bosch Pulse Check,
further reflects Bosch's strong position as an employer of choice.
With low single-digit attrition, significantly below the industry
average, Bosch continues to demonstrate strong employee
commitment and organizational stability, which directly supports
sustainable business growth.

In addition, Bosch has been recognized among the Top 20
Manufacturing Organizations in India, further strengthening
its position as a leading employer in the sector. Our people and
talent practices have also received external recognition through
prestigious platforms such as AIMA’s 51st National Competition
for Young Managers - Winners 2025, the Best Young Manager
Award 2025, the People Matters Infini-T Awards 2025,
and the 5th Edition of The Economic Times Human Capital
Awards 2026, where Bosch received the Bronze Award for
Talent Acquisition. These recognitions reflect Bosch's continued
commitment to building a high-performing, future-ready, and
widely respected workforce.

INTERNAL AUDIT AND INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Company has an Internal Audit function. The Internal Audit
department provides an appropriate level of assurance on the
design and effectiveness of internal controls, its compliance with
operating systems and policies of the Company at all locations.
Based on the internal audit report, process owners undertake
corrective actions in their respective areas and thereby strengthen
the controls. Significant audit observations and corrective
measures thereon are presented to the Audit Committee.

The Company has an effective and reliable internal financial control
system commensurate with the nature of its business, size, and
complexity of its operations. The internal financial control system
provides for well- documented policies and procedures that are
aligned with Bosch global standards and processes, adhere to
local statutory requirements for orderly and efficient conduct
of business, safeguarding of assets, detection and prevention of
frauds and errors, adequacy and completeness of accounting
records and timely preparation of reliable financial information.
This also identifies opportunities for improvement and ensures
that good practices are imbibed in the processes that develop and
strengthen the internal financial control system and enhances the
reliability of the Company's financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviews the internal audit plan, adequacy
and effectiveness of the internal control system, significant audit
observations and monitors the sustainability of remedial measures.
It also reviews functioning of the Whistle Blower mechanism and
reviews the action taken on the cases reported.

The efficacy of the internal checks and control systems is validated
by self-audits and verified by internal as well as statutory auditors.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

The fiscal year 2025-26 unfolded against a backdrop of geopolitical
tensions, an uncertain global trade environment, volatility in
financial markets, and fluctuations in international commodity
prices. Despite these external pressures, the Indian economy
remained resilient, supported by strong domestic demand,
sustained investment activity, and a benign inflation environment.
The Reserve Bank of India continued to note that, even as global
headwinds persisted, domestic macroeconomic conditions
remained broadly supportive of growth.

India’s growth momentum strengthened during the year. Under
MoSPI's new national accounts series with 2022-23 as the base
year, real GDP growth for 2025-26 is estimated at 7.6 %, compared
with 7.1 % in 2024-25, while real GVA is estimated to grow by 7.7
%. Growth remained broad-based, with manufacturing recording
double-digit growth, trade, hotels, transport, communication and
related services expanding at 10.1 %, financial, real estate, IT and
professional services and public administration, defence and
other services combined growing at 9.9 %, and construction at 7.1
%. Agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing is estimated to grow
by 2.4 %, indicating a positive though more moderate contribution
relative to industry and services.

Inflation remained firmly under control for much of the year,
allowing monetary policy to turn more supportive. Headline CPI
inflation fell to 0.25 % in October 2025, the lowest reading in the
current CPI series, and stood at 3.21 % in February 2026. Over
the course of 2025-26, the RBI reduced the policy repo rate by a
cumulative 125 basis points, from 6.50 % at the start of the fiscal
year to 5.25 % by December 2025 and retained it at that level in
February 2026. In its February 2026 policy resolution, the RBI
projected 2025-26 CPI inflation at 2.1 %, underscoring the extent
of disinflation achieved during the year.

India's private sector ended 2025-26 in expansionary territory,
although momentum moderated toward year-end. According to
the HSBC Flash India PMI, the Composite Output Index eased
from 58.9 in February 2026 to 56.5 in March 2026, while the
Manufacturing PMI softened from 56.9 to 53.8. Even so, both
indicators remained comfortably above the neutral 50 mark,
signalling continued expansion in business activity. The survey
also indicated that export orders rose at the fastest pace in the
series history, helping offset softer domestic demand.

India's automobile sector achieved record-breaking annual sales
across all key segments in 2025-26, driven by improved affordability
and stronger consumer confidence following GST 2.0 reforms,
successive repo rate reductions, and revised income tax structures.
Data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM)
indicates that passenger vehicle sales increased by 7.9 % to 4.64
million units. Commercial vehicle volumes rose by 12.6 % to 1.08
million units, while three-wheeler sales grew 12.8 % to 0.84 million
units. Two-wheeler sales also saw robust growth, expanding 10.7
% to reach 21.71 million units. Additionally, total vehicle exports
climbed 24 % to 6.65 million units, reinforcing India's position as a
key global hub for automotive manufacturing and exports.

Overall, 2025-26 reaffirmed the resilience of the Indian economy:
growth remained strong, inflation eased materially, monetary
policy turned more supportive, and core industrial sectors such
as automobiles continued to post healthy gains, even as external
uncertainties required continued vigilance.

Amid this evolving landscape, we remain focused on driving
innovation, operational agility, and excellence. We continue to
invest in advanced technologies, automation, and sustainable
manufacturing while expanding into electric mobility and alternative
fuels in line with India's green transition. Backed by strong R&D,
strategic partnerships, and a customer-centric approach, we are
well-positioned to anticipate change and deliver future-ready
solutions, as we strive to lead transformation and contribute to
India's emergence as a global automotive powerhouse.

Ri lilrlino Tri ict \A/ith f'l ictnmor Holiaht

Quality remains a prime focus of Bosch's commitment to
operational excellence and customer trust. During the year, while
0-mileage customer incidences attributable to Bosch failures
reduced by 8 % reflecting improved product Quality at the point of
delivery though a notable increase in overall customer incidences.
Logistics-related incidences and internal defect costs, however,
remained stable, indicating sustained control within internal
operations and supply chain execution.

Our Quality First strategic action field under VCS.NxT, focused
initiatives were driven across Bosch India within three sub-action
fields: Building Insightful and Trusted Partnerships, Preventive
Quality Organization, and Supplier Quality Improvement.
Supported by clearly defined KPIs to ensure disciplined execution
and continuous improvement. A data-driven approach enabled
closer collaboration with key customers such as MSIL and
TVS, resulting in quicker response cycles to Quality issues and
recognition at the MSIL Vendor Quality Conference 2025. Joint
investigations, ECU simulation exercises, and EOS awareness
programs further strengthened customer confidence and
demonstrated Bosch's problem-solving capabilities, contributing
to improved customer perception. Enhanced problem-solving
maturity across plants was recognized with two prestigious
Shainin Dorian Awards, while focused supplier Quality initiatives
delivered a 12 % improvement over the previous year.

Significant emphasis was also placed on embedding a strong
Quality mindset through leadership engagement on Value Stream
Basics, recognition and motivation of shopfloor associates to
inculcate the Quality mindset behavior via the Q1st Associate
program. Quality Mindset Drive initiatives reinforced foundational
Q-Basics, promoted proactive problem prevention, and
strengthened the “Learn to See” approach to identify deviations in
day-to-day operations.

Looking ahead, Bosch remains focused on improving agility and
responsiveness to customer needs to further strengthen trust and
deliver sustained customer delight.

Bosch Production System (BPS): 2025 Overview

In 2025, Bosch India further strengthened its manufacturing
foundation through the Bosch Production System (BPS)—the

Company's global framework for operational excellence. Under the
transformation program BPS GO!+, the focus was on accelerating
performance improvements and scaling best practices across
plants.

Four priorities guided BPS initiatives during the year:

•    Leadership    Commitment

•    Everyday Continuous Improvement

•    Waste-Free    and Stable Production Flow

•    Investment    Efficiency

With a strong emphasis on digital enablement and standardized
execution, these initiatives delivered measurable improvements in
efficiency, transparency, and reliability across the production value
stream.

Building a Strong Continuous Improvement Culture

A robust culture of continuous improvement was reinforced
through leadership involvement, structured capability building,
and digital integration.

•    Digital Capability Development

Around 85 % of manufacturing associates in Bosch India
completed advanced training on digital manufacturing tools,
strengthening data-driven decision-making and real-time
operational transparency on the shopfloor.

•    Structured Problem Solving Beyond the Shopfloor

The Toyota Kata methodology-focused on scientific thinking
and coaching-was expanded beyond direct manufacturing
into indirect functions. This helped embed structured
problem solving and continuous learning across the
organization.

•    Standardized Lean Management

Daily performance management routines and layered
process confirmations were digitally standardized across
plants. These routines improved consistency, strengthened
governance, and ensured long-term sustainability of lean
practices.

Waste-Free and Stable Production Flow

Targeted initiatives were deployed to improve production flow,
eliminate waste, and enhance delivery performance.

•    End-to-End Flow Transparency

A digital throughput-time dashboard provided real-time
visibility into value-adding and non-value-adding activities.
This enabled faster identification of bottlenecks and more
focused improvement actions.

•    Inventory and Material Efficiency

Digitally enabled leftover management improved material
transparency, reduced waste, and increased resource
utilization across plants.

•    Line Balancing Excellence

Improved line-balancing standards led to a 26 % increase in
operational efficiency, supporting smoother production flow
and more reliable customer deliveries.

Investment Efficiency and Cost Competitiveness

To strengthen cost competitiveness while supporting growth,
Bosch India focused on maximizing value from capital investments.

•    Standardized Manufacturing Equipment

Reuse and standardization of assembly equipment enabled
faster replication and economies of scale across plants.

•    Innovation-Driven Cost Avoidance

improved utilization rates and reduced overall costs.

Benchmarking and Continuous Maturity Assessment

Bosch India further strengthened its ability to measure and improve
operational maturity.

•    Capability Calibration

Assessors and plant teams were aligned on the latest Bosch
Production System maturity standards, ensuring consistent
evaluation and benchmarking.

•    Value Stream Gap Analysis

Structured value-stream assessments helped identify
targeted improvement actions and accelerate maturity
progression.

•    Knowledge Sharing Platform

A centralized knowledge database was introduced to
capture best practices and lessons learned, accelerating
organizational learning across locations.

Climate Action

Bosch Group supports the United Nations 2015 Paris Agreement
on climate action and the target formulated therein of limiting
global warming to as close to 1.5 degrees Celsius as possible.
This aspiration also shapes our climate targets, which have been
confirmed by the SBTi for the 1.5-degree pathway.*

*Robert Bosch GmbH’s entry in the Science Based Targets
initiative sTarget Dashboard.

Bosch Group is pursuing the target of reducing its scope 1 & 2 CO2
emissions by 85 % by 2030 (baseline year 2018).*

•    Scope 1, 2, 3 are used in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. We have
taken into account the effects of both CO2 and of other greenhouse
gases, as well as climate-relevant substances, to the extent that
these are of relevance for the analysis. To enable comparability
between the climate impact of the various greenhouse gases and
substances of relevance for the climate, emissions are presented
in CO2 equivalents. For ease of reading, we use the terms CO2 and
CO2 equivalents synonymously.

With its more than 470 locations worldwide, the Bosch Group
has been carbon-neutral overall since 2020 (scope 1 & 2). Four
levers were used to achieve carbon neutrality: increasing energy
efficiency, generating our own energy from renewable sources
(new clean power), purchasing electricity from renewable sources
(green electricity), and - as the last resort - offsetting residual CO2
emissions with carbon credits.

At Bosch India, we are committed to advancing renewable energy
generation and fostering sustainability through various initiatives.
This includes generating renewable energy at our own facilities
and establishing long-term supply agreements to support the
development of new photovoltaic plants. We continue to focus on
phasing out substances with climate impact by transitioning from
higher Global Warming Potential (GWP) substances to lower GWP
alternatives.

Bosch Limited has adopted a systematic 4E (Energy Audit, Energy
Re-tuning, Energy Lifecycle, and Energy Culture) approach and
is embracing digitization though the 4C approach (Connect,
Communicate, Consolidate, and Cognitive).

During the financial year 2025-26, out of the total electricity
demand of the Company,16 % of the demand was met through
in-house solar power plants. The volume of purchased green
electricity from new plants (PPA) and corresponding guarantees
of origin amounted to 137.8GWh fulfilling 84 % of total electricity
requirement. Additionally, 9239.17 metric tons of CO2 was
compensated with carbon credits during 2025-26.

At the same time, we also want to reduce emissions produced
outside Bosch's direct sphere of influence (scope 3), for example
at suppliers, in logistics, or when our products are used. Our aim
is to reduce these upstream and downstream emissions by 30 % in
absolute terms by 2030, compared with the baseline year 2018 -
irrespective of our Company's growth.

Work safety

Measures to protect and promote associates' health and provide
a safe working environment at all times have always been a
top priority for Bosch. Internal regulations define the relevant
principles, organization and responsibilities within the Bosch
Group.

Bosch Group carry out an in-depth analysis of any work-related
accidents causing at least one day of downtime - irrespective of
whether Bosch associates or third-party staff are involved. In the
event of serious accidents, special analysis methods are used to
perform a detailed investigation of the root causes and to derive
specific measures.

Based on internal regulations, workplace or activity-related hazard
assessments are also carried out regularly. These are used as a
basis for determining any preventive and protective measures
needed, and our associates are instructed accordingly.

Bosch Limited continue to advance its Value Chain Strategy
(VCS.NXT), placing a strong emphasis on the “Zero Accident”
initiative within the sustainability pillar. We focus on strengthening
engineering controls through detailed risk assessments, improved
machine safeguarding, and interlock enhancements to address
risks at source. These measures have been implemented across
locations to ensure consistency in safety standards. At the
same time, efforts to sustain Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) have
been continued through a structured observer program and
standardized observation checklists, enabling regular feedback
and reinforcement of safe practices.

Our approach to fostering a robust safety culture is anchored
in a three-pillar framework: MAE (Machines and Equipment)
safety, Human Factors, and Management Systems. We have made
significant strides in enhancing MAE safety by focusing on key areas
such as the standardization, effective interruption management,
and the prevention of human error.

Our enabling and leading KPIs have shown marked improvement,
reflecting our commitment to safety. For instance, we have seen
better performance in near miss reporting closure rates and a
strengthened culture around first aid reporting. These metrics not
only demonstrate our initiative-taking approach to safety but also
highlight the engagement of our associates in cultivating a safer
workplace.

Through these initiatives, we aim to reinforce our commitment
to safety and ensure that all associates are actively involved in
fostering a culture of safety, driving us closer to our goal of zero
accidents.

reinforcing a culture of appreciation and sustained engagement
and the Kindness Carnival 2025 brought together NGO partners
and 700+ attendees through fundraising, wish-fulfilment, and
community connection, further deepening commitment to close
community level engagement.
