Bosch launches ‘Energy and Building Solutions’ business in India

Bosch announced the launch of ‘Bosch Energy and Building Solutions’ (BEBS) in India. Primarily a service based line, this new business unit will focus on energy generation and efficiency. With the inclusion of this new business unit, Bosch in India is now a turnkey solution provider for efficient energy solutions. Located in Bangalore, it is the first office in Asia Pacific and will collectively be responsible for the Middle-East and Asia region.
Commenting on the launch of the new business, Dr. Steffen Berns, Managing Director, Bosch Ltd., said, “Globally, with over 1,500 clients across several industries, Bosch Energy and Business Solutions has significant expertise in the energy domain. With this portfolio expansion, we consolidate our position in the energy business as a full-line solution provider, offering products, solutions and services.” He further elaborated, “With this move, we aim to expand and intensify our operations in the energy sector to cater to the huge Indian market. The launch of BEBS is a step in this direction as we look to offer efficient services which will help significantly bring down the energy cost.”
Bosch will provide solutions for energy generation and conservation. The solutions can be for hot water, steam and power using renewable energy.
Strong partner for customised energy concepts, services and technology The business model will be based on either shared or guaranteed saving models. The energy generation solutions shall primarily be based on renewable energy. In addition to this, the existing Thermo-technology division will continue to offer products and systems which include solar water heaters, heat pumps, boilers and HVAC systems. With this, the energy business in India will look at synergising its sales channels to offer efficient, connected and complete energy solutions to customers. As part of the market penetration strategy, BEBS will combine direct selling as well as Bosch channel partners. For larger projects, the business will offer direct solutions and for smaller industrial clusters, solutions would be offered through the existing channel partner network.
Working on identified strategic areas Commenting on this development, Venugopalan C M, head of the Bosch’s energy business in India, said, “We shall combine our experience of energy services in Europe with local experts and execution teams to offer optimised and quality solutions to our Indian customers in both energy generation and efficiency segments. The commercial building market presents a great opportunity for energy efficiency improvement. When it comes to HVAC systems, there is a huge amount of unused energy-saving potential. By improving HVAC system management, we not only enhance comfort, we can also achieve energy savings of 30 per cent on an average through our patented Climate Technology solution. We also offer an excellent monitoring solution in our Energy Platform that allows users to monitor energy consumption at both demand and supply side.”
The business will receive technical support from the company’s headquarters in Germany and from the Engineering & Business Solutions entity (RBEI) of Bosch in India.
