Profit before tax Q1 FY 2022-23 stood at Rs 438 crore, up by 30.5% as compared with the same quarter of previous year. Soumitra Bhattacharya, managing director of Bosch and president of the Bosch Group in India, said: ?The strong momentum exiting FY2021-22 was sustained and further improved over the past quarter due to recovery in the overall automotive market. This has bolstered our confidence that we will surpass the peaks of FY2018-19. With a steady order book and easing supply chain issues, we expect to maintain robust growth across revenue and free cash flows for the remainder of FY2022-23. Our focus is to maintain steady margins through strategic cost recovery across our supply chains. Bosch said that the automotive market in Quarter 1 witnessed a strong year-on-year growth on a Covid-impacted low base. Owing to OEMs long waiting periods and strong order books we have a sustained demand in segments like Passenger Cars and Utility Vehicle, along with further improvements in two-wheelers and tractors. This has resulted in an increase of 47.4% in the Powertrain Solutions division. The Automotive Aftermarket division also surpassed its peak with an increase of 61.3% due to a low base in Q1 FY 2021-22. The Beyond Mobility businesses recorded an increase of 53.6% mainly due to growth in Consumer Goods division by 48.6%.
