Bosch grows 20%, profits up by 31%
Bangalore: Bosch Ltd, the flagship company of German auto parts maker Robert Bosch Gmbh’s Indian operations, reported a 20% increase in 2011 revenue to Rs. 8,018 crore and a 31% in net profit to Rs. 1,123 crore.
V.K. Viswanathan, managing director, said the growth came in a “mixed year”—growth for the automotives sector slowed to 6% in the second half from about 22% in the first, with the passenger car and utility vehicle segment regressing the most as its growth contracted 3%.
“Overall, our key target market grew by 13.5% in the year, but we grew faster than that,” Viswanathan said. “There was improved demand in tractors and light commercial vehicles. Our automotive aftermarket (products and services) and power tools businesses also showed consistent growth. Profitability was also helped by other income, with some of our investments providing better yields due to prevailing interest rates.”
Bosch is optimistic for 2012 but growth will depended on interest rates, inflationary trends, currency volatility and other macroeconomic factors that depressed growth in the second half of 2011 and could impact the sector this year as well, he added.
Bosch Ltd, the listed entity, invested about Rs. 660 crore in 2011 on capital expenditure, particularly for capacity expansion in its Nashik plant that makes fuel injectors, and will continue to spend at this level over the next couple of years, said Soumitra Bhattacharya, chief financial officer.
Other group companies invested Rs. 400 crore.
Bosch’s operating margin improved to 15.7% from 15.2%, despite higher input costs and currency volatility, he added.
The diesel systems business grew by 19.2% to about Rs. 4,700 crore, and the automotive aftermarket business by 15.2% to Rs. 1,800 crore, Viswanathan said. The aftermarket market is the secondary market for spares, components and accessories as well as services meant for vehicles that are already on the roads.
The starters and generators business grew by 63% to Rs. 490 crore, and the power tools business by 22% to Rs. 550 crore.
Exports grew by 22.3% to cross the Rs. 1,000-crore mark helped by demand in Germany, China, Brazil and Korea, he added. Robert Bosch Gmbh owns about 71% of Bosch Ltd.
Bosch said it will pay a dividend of Rs. 50 a share, compared with Rs. 40 a share last year, and in addition to the Rs. 85 a share dividend declared in June on the occasion of the company’s 125th anniversary worldwide.
Shares of Bosch jumped 3% to Rs. 7,883.95 on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Tuesday, while the Sensex rose 1.64% to 17,731.12 points.

Scoop: Air Powered Car to be Launched by Tata Motors
Tata Motors plans to launch the OneCat, a car running on compressed air.
The car is expected to be a five-seater with a glass fiber body, which would weigh just 350 kg and cost just about Rs 2 lakh.
The project is backed for an undisclosed sum by Tata, which says it may also use the technology for power generation.
A BBC report has pointed out that Tata's backing makes the idea much more marketable and that the Indian company will be putting finishing touches
to the engine.
French engineer Negre is planning to sell the car in India, the report said. He hopes that the first buyers of the compressed air car will be people who care about the environment and would sell it for an economical price.
Tata would be the only big firm Negre will license to sell the car and sales will be limited to India.
The car will be driven by compressed air stored in carbon-fiber tanks that can be filled in just three minutes. The tanks will be built into the chassis.
The car can also be plugged into the mains for four hours and an on-board compressor will do the job.For long journeys, the compressed air driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner which heats the air so it expands and increases the pressure on the pistons. The burner will use all kinds of liquid fuel.
The vehicle contains air tanks that can be filled in four hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug. MDI also plans to design a gas station compressor, which would fill the tanks in three minutes.

(All the figures are from MDI and are not independently verified) OneCAT (Compressed Air Technology) was advertised as an upcoming compressed air car in 2008.India's Tata Motors was said to be collaborating with Air engine developer Guy Nègre of MDI to produce the vehicle.
The vehicle contains air tanks that can be filled in four hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug. MDI also plans to design a gas station compressor, which would fill the tanks in three minutes.
The OneCAT is a five seat vehicle with a 200 litre trunk. There is no reliable data on range and top speed for this prototype available.
As of August 2009 there was no mentioning of the prototype or planned production of the TATA OneCAT on the TATA or MDI homepages. In December 2009 Tata's vice president of engineering systems confirmed that the limited range and low engine temperatures were causing difficulties. Meanwhile all links, articles and archives relative to MDI have disappeared from Tata's website.
