According to a recent report, the bearing market is peaked to grow by 10 percent in India. This is due to socio-political and economic factors that have increased industrial production and demand domestically and internationally. This growth can be attributed to a push with government policies such as 'Make in India' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat', which provided a stimulus to the manufacturing sector. All these factors will pave the path to growing production and manufacturing in India, which in turn will boost the bearing market.

A bearing can be described as the heart of machines, providing movement and machine health. Industrial customers today want to have better control over the life cycle of their machinery.

By regulating a bearing’s life, manufacturers can lower operational costs, increase machinery uptime and ensure smooth production cycles. To meet these requirements, customers want a superior quality product that is technologically efficient and high performing. This is where NRB Industrial Bearings comes into the picture.Focusing largely on research & development and innovation, NIBL provides a wide range of ball and roller bearings and works with its customers to customize products and meet their needs.
