During the quarter, the Company undertook several strategic initiatives aligned with its long-term diversification and growth strategy.
NRB announced a strategic Joint Venture with Italy-based Unitec Group to manufacture industrial cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs) in India, combining NRB’s scale and R&D capabilities with Unitec’s precision engineering expertise and assured offtake. Additionally, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Company entered into a Business Transfer Agreement to acquire Mahant Tool Room, marking NRB’s formal entry into the aerospace segment, backed by an existing order book and strong technical credentials. In line with these strategic initiatives and to support the increasing share of business across both existing and new product lines, the Company is adding 17–25% capacity across various product lines at all its plants.
This expansion is driven by strong growth in current platforms, new product development, and the broadening of our friction solutions portfolio for automotive and industrial applications. These initiatives are a focussed strategy by the Company to diversify into aerospace, industrial, EV and hybrid applications while cementing our leadership in the automotive space. With multiple strategic platforms now in place, strong order visibility, and continued emphasis on technology-led manufacturing, the Company is well positioned to execute its aspirational growth plan of achieving over Rs 2,500 crore in organic revenues over the next five years that could be supplemented through our selective ‘plug and play’ acquisitions which should further speed up growth.”
The Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend of Rs 3.20 per share, citing the company’s strong financial performance and robust order book.
