Bosch has localised electric motors and motor controllers for two-wheelers in India since 2021, with investments at its Chennai and Bengaluru plants. Vice-President Manohar Halahali told ETAuto that the company is also investing in vehicle control units and expanding capacity for electronic controls, sensors and anti-lock braking systems. While electric two-wheeler volumes have risen to around 1.5-1.6 lakh units, Halahali said profitability depends on scale, deeper localisation and reducing supply-chain risks involving China, rare-earth magnets and lithium. He expects the measures to show full impact in six to eight quarters, with a sustainable path for EVs in a couple of fiscals.
