Auto components major Bosch Ltd today reported a 28.78 per cent increase in its net profit at Rs 281 crore for the quarter ended December 2017, on account of higher income.

"Bosch is offering the right technologies to shape the future while also taking care of the core businesses," Bosch Ltd Managing Director Soumitra Bhattacharya said.
 

On outlook, Bhattacharya, who is also the president of Bosch Group in India said: "We expect to remain on a path of growth in both areas in the current business year and are well prepared."
