Bohra joined PHM Racing to race in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship.[7] Scoring three points finishes that season, with the highest being a seventh place, he was ranked 21st in the standings with eleven points.
Bohra's main campaign lied in the Italian F4 Championship with US Racing.[8] Scoring consistently through the first half of the season, his first podium came during the final race in Monza.[9] Scoring another third-placed podium in Mugello, Bohra eventually placed eighth in the standings with 113 points.[10] In the Euro 4 Championship, Bohra scored a double podium in Mugello, but had his big break by winning his first F4 race in Barcelona after original winner James Wharton was penalised.[11] This allowed him to finish third in the overall standings.

In the Euro 4 Championship, Bohra began the campaign with a double victory in Mugello.[18] A difficult qualifying came at the Red Bull Ring where he was forced to make comebacks, rewarded with two fourth-place finishes.[19] Despite two runner-up finishes during the last round in Monza, standings leader Freddie Slater experienced a troubling weekend, allowing Bohra to overhaul him and clinch the Euro 4 title.[20]
