mobility segment (automobiles, off-highway vehicles such as construction equipment, tractors, etc.). It

specializes in needle roller bearing, which forms 50% of the top line, commanding a staggering 70% market

share in the segment.

The company also enjoys superior margins vis-à-vis its peers as it produces all its output indigenously unlike

its peers whose trading item forms 25-40% of sales. Presence across all OEMs in India NRB is the fourth

largest bearing manufacturer (organized) in India with a share of 12% (in terms of sales) in the organized

bearings market. With a proven track record over 49 years, it is a preferred supplier to leading domestic OEMs

such Hero Moto Corp, Bajaj Auto, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, etc. Needle roller bearings are

customized items. Therefore, the company works with OEMs from the conceptualization stage to provide anti

friction solutions. Being positioned in the niche customized bearings segment, the company faces less

competition from global bearing manufacturers such as SKF (Sweden) and Timken (the US), who largely

produce off-the-shelf bearings.

needle roller bearings. Engagement with the clients from the conceptualization phase itself has ensured a

steady relationship with leading domestic and global OEMs. Some of the company’s key international

customers are Renault Volvo, ZF Group and Getrag Group.

The current market capitalization stands at Rs 1,308.46 crore. The company has reported a standalone sales

of Rs 173.18 crore and a Net Profit of Rs 14.95 crore for the quarter ended Sep 2014.

Industry Details

Although the development of India's ball and roller bearing industry is not quite enviable, it can be said without

contradiction that India has relatively strong base for the manufacture of bearings. There are about 12 large

and medium units which together turn out over 100 million bearings every year. Almost all the units have

foreign collaboration. The Indian Bearing industry makes around 500 types of bearings as against over 30,000

types of bearings being used by the Indian industry. Bulk of these are only of standard types and are used

mostly in low-technology areas like fans, electric motors, water pumps, and by the automotive sector.

The current Indian bearings industry is worth Rs.3500 crore. In this, automotive segment accounts for 45

percent of the revenues, which amount to Rs.1,350 crores and the remaining 55 percent of revenues are

being contributed by industrial demand. In the automotive bearings market, the organized segment

manufactures cater to 50 percent of the demand. About 15 percent of the production is by the unorganized

segment in India, and the remaining 35 percent of demand is fulfilled through imports. Out of the total

revenues in the automotive segment, 60 percent of the revenues are contributed by the OEMs and the

remaining 40 percent is by the demand from the aftermarket. There has been a growth of 15 percent in the

aftermarket segment and OE demand has increased by more than 25 percent from the financial year 2005-

06.

Though the demand from the aftermarket segment is increasing, the growth rate is declining compared to the

year 2005 - 06. In the aftermarket, 6 percent demand is from the engineering applications segment, 5 percent

from LCV segment, 4 percent from MUV segment, 8 percent from car segment, 11 percent from tractor

segment, and the remaining 15 percent from automotive ancillary segment. Rest of the 50 percent demand is

from the Railway sector.
