The leaders of NRB Bearings have met and approved investment of Rs 200 crore to upgrade and increase the capacity at their R&D Centre and plants in Jalna, Chikalthana, Waluj, and Hyderabad.

The company currently offers different types of parts that reduce friction for customers in India and around the world. This increase in capacity is for their current product lines, which include Taper Roller Bearings, Ball Bearings, Wide Inner Ring Bearings, Spherical roller Bearings, Cylindrical roller bearings, Needle roller bearings, and Thrust Bearings. The company is currently using almost all of its ability to produce.

It is estimated that the planned expansion over 2 years will lead to producing 15% to 25% more volume for different product groups, depending on the mix of products. This will be based on what customers need. Some of the added capacity (like for grinding) is for various product groups.

The company makes a large variety of bearings and friction parts and supplies them in India and for international markets, where there is expected to be good demand for its products.
