Bosch receives ₹140 crore demand from customs for differential duty on oxygen sensors, to appeal in tribunal
Auto component maker Bosch Ltd said on Thursday, 7 August, that it has been issued a demand of over ₹ 140 crore, along with interest, from the Indian customs authority for differential duty on oxygen sensors. In a regulatory filing, the company said it has received an order passed by the Principal Commissioner of Customs (Import) Air Cargo Complex, New Delhi, regarding an interpretation of the classification of oxygen sensors. The order is on account of interpretation on classification of oxygen sensors from one category to another, resulting in differential duty of ₹ 70,41,16,516, interest and penalty of ₹ 70,45,59,538, amounting to a total demand of ₹ 1,40,86,76,054 plus interest, it added. Bosch further said it will file an appeal before the tribunal in Delhi, by making a mandatory pre-deposit at the rate of 7.5 per cent on the differential duty demanded. It is in the process of representing this issue before the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs to get clarification on the matter pertaining to oxygen sensors. Earlier this week, Bosch reported an over twofold jump in its consolidated net profit to ₹ 1,115 crore for the first quarter ended 30 June 2025, compared to ₹ 465 crore for the same quarter of the last fiscal year. Its total income rose to ₹ 5,077 crore in the June quarter, up from ₹ 4,496 crore in the year-ago period. During the quarter, the company completed the transfer of its "Video solutions, Access and Intrusions and Communication systems" business, recognising a profit on sale of business for ₹ 556 crore. "Our performance in the first quarter reflects strong growth, driven by increased revenue, higher demand in passenger cars and a reduction in material costs enabled by favourable product mix," Bosch Ltd MD Guruprasad Mudlapur had said. "Despite global challenges, we remain optimistic about the opportunities ahead," he said. The company is investing decisively in hydrogen, electrification, and digital services - positioning itself at the forefront of sustainable mobility.

US tariffs raise concerns across India's automotive and component sectors
Tariff hike to 50% may hit Indian exports of tyres and auto components to the US; industry explores nearshoring, diversification, and cost efficiency measures Listen to This Article The White House's decision to impose an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports — raising total duties to 50 per cent — has sparked concern across India's automotive and component sectors. With the US accounting for 27 per cent of India's auto component exports and 17 per cent of tyre exports, analysts warn the hike could sharply dent India's price competitiveness, particularly in off-highway components and the replacement tyre segment, compared to Asian peers like Vietnam and Indonesia, who enjoy lower or preferential trade duties. The broader sector is under pressure. Saurabh Agarwal, partner and automotive tax leader

EV startup launches three-wheeler designed for delivery drivers
Vaidyuthi Mobility, an electric vehicle (EV) startup, has rolled out EV Gully100, a three-wheeled electric vehicle designed for delivery drivers who hold only a two-wheeler licence. It is the first such vehicle on Indian roads, taking advantage of new regulatory changes that allow electric three-wheelers in this category to be operated without a commercial LMV-3 licence. India's delivery fleets rely heavily on two-wheelers for small loads and larger autorickshaws for heavier cargo. Gully100 aims at addressing the delivery of cargo in the range of 50-km to 400-km, which accounts for a significant portion of urban delivery demand, thereby minimising the overloading of bikes or underutilisation of expensive vehicles. 'We are building a category that did not exist before. Most delivery operations today are stuck between too small or too big. This gives them a third option — one that fits the job,' said Raj Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Vaidyuthi Mobility. The EV uses a dual-motor setup designed for high torque and better traction, especially under full load. The suspension has been built in-house and includes an adaptive system meant to handle uneven city roads. According to the company, its new cabin layout is the most spacious in its class and is designed for longer shifts. The battery offers a real-world range of 120 km on a single charge. 'This is one of the safest and most affordable electric three-wheelers we've ever built,' said Hari Vasudevan, co-founder and CTO of Vaidyuthi Mobility. 'We didn't just optimise for price. We looked at what the Indian delivery workforce actually needs on the ground — from terrain and load to comfort and driver access.' The Gully100 also brings in a set of safety features including Tilt Guard, a system that helps prevent the vehicle from rolling over, especially on uneven roads or sharp turns. There's also an active swing arm and an electronic differential, both of which work together to keep the ride stable and responsive under load. Vaidyuthi Mobility has also developed what it calls the world's first Breathe & Adapt air suspension, built to adjust on the fly to potholes, shifting weight, or rough terrain. According to the company, the vehicle is also eligible for State and Central EV incentives.
