In accordance with the approvals received from the Board of Directors on May 21, 2019 and from the shareholders on August 23, 2019, the company has executed the business transfer agreement on October 1, 2019 and transfer of the business of Packaging division. Consequently, the profit before and after tax of this division has been disclosed separately as discontinuing operations.

“The dip in the company’s performance is mainly due to the downward trend in the automotive sector as a whole, which has been caused not only by sluggish demand but also by a paradigm shift in consumer behavior. To deal with this, the company has initiated a restructuring process. Wherever possible, the company wants to focus on reskilling and redeploying talented associates. Any necessary headcount adjustments will be carried out in a fair and socially acceptable manner, and will also include early voluntary retirement schemes,” said Soumitra Bhattacharya, the managing director of Bosch Limited and president of the Bosch India Group.

Commenting on recent developments, Bhattacharya added: “The announcement made by Prime Minister Modi about the coexistence of combustion-engine and electric vehicles is definitely reassuring for the automotive industry. At Bosch Limited, we have been investing steadily in developing products and solutions for the mobility of the future while enhancing our combustion-engine technologies. The company is already working with vehicle makers on the electrification of the two-, three-, and four-wheeler segments including mobility services.”
