In India, the Bosch Group has its presence in the mining industry with Bosch Rexroth offering drive and control solutions and other divisions offering fuel injection systems for mining equipment and security technologies. To gain deeper penetration, Bosch will be tying up with local system integrators for retrofit projects to offer end-to-end solutions. ?Bosch has developed value added application solutions that help minimise downtime and lower lifecycle cost for the user,? commented Dr Steffen Berns, President, Bosch Group India and Managing Director, Bosch Ltd. India?s mining industry is expected to grow in line with the country?s GDP growth forecast. Bosch India expects its business in this sector to grow significantly over the five years.

Bosch Rexroth India will offer its customers Large Hydraulic Drives (LHD) suitable for Low Speed High Torque (LSHT) applications and after market for OHW vehicles in mobile applications to cater to this segment. Anticipating that projected growth, Bosch will gradually expand its team over the next five years. Focusing primarily on the south, west and east of India, the team aims to expand its operations outside of the country as well. ?Our team in India will look to cater to growing needs of neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka,? commented Hans Bangert, Managing Director, Bosch Rexroth India Pvt Ltd.
