Robert Bosch GmbH and Tata AutoComp Systems plan to establish a joint venture to develop and manufacture electric powertrain components in India, targeting the country’s growing electric mobility market.
The companies said the new entity, expected to launch by mid-2026, will focus on e-axles and e-motors and will be equally owned by both partners. The joint venture will be headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, subject to regulatory approvals.
The boards of Bosch, Bosch Limited, and Tata AutoComp Systems have approved the transaction, though final clearance from antitrust authorities is still required.
The collaboration is intended to strengthen Bosch’s position in India’s rapidly expanding EV market while leveraging Tata AutoComp’s local manufacturing expertise. Tata AutoComp is part of the Tata Group, which also includes automaker Tata Motors.
Markus Heyn said the partnership aligns with Bosch’s long-term strategy. “India’s dynamic development towards electromobility is impressive and aligns perfectly with the strategic direction of Bosch Mobility,” he said. “For us, electromobility is a key area for the future, and we are consistently investing in the entire value chain – from semiconductors to complete eAxle systems.”
Bosch has invested more than €6 billion globally in electric mobility and is seeking to expand its footprint in emerging markets such as India. The company is also working to grow revenue from its electrification business amid broader cost pressures in its traditional operations.
Arvind Goel said the partnership will combine complementary capabilities. “India’s mobility ecosystem is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by electrification, localisation, and the need for scalable technology solutions,” he said. “This joint venture between Tata AutoComp Systems and Bosch Limited brings together complementary strengths in engineering, technology, and manufacturing to accelerate the development of advanced e-mobility solutions for the Indian market.”
Both companies said the venture is expected to provide “significant impetus for the e-mobility market in India” by enabling local production of advanced electric drivetrain technologies.
