Today, while technology and machineries have evolved significantly, machine tool-grade bearings manufacturer in India are still very less in number. Even manufacturers that do this often struggle to meet quality and accuracy. Thriving on its profound knowledge about the complexities of bearings, along with ability to understand customers' exact needs, Durga Bearings has positioned itself as a trusted leader in this growing industry. Under the inspiring direction of its founder, M.P. Sultania, Durga Bearings set out on its adventure in 1979. The business had a modest beginning but was founded on lofty aspirations and objectives.
Sultania's belief in thinking beyond limits inspired his three sons, who have carried his vision forward. Despite his demise in 1997, the company achieved its milestones and celebrated its 25- year journey in 2004. Today, the firm promises great technical support, low prices, and fast delivery for over 10,000 customers. Its position as an industry leader is cemented by the fact that it has the largest stockpile in the nation and can offer 150,000 different types of bearings from the best manufacturers worldwide.
Expanding Horizons
Among one of the top five distributors of bearings in India, Durga Bearings leads in branch network, customer trust, and technical know-how. With a significant portion of its revenue coming from NSK & Schaeffler, the company is an authorized dealer for well-known manufacturers including NSK, INA, FAG (Schaeffler), THK, and others. It now provides mechatronics, automation, PLC programming, linear motors, hydraulics, and pneumatics in addition to bearings.
Entrenched in Mumbai, it provides mechatronic solutions nationwide.
The firm customizes products for oil fields, railroads, steel mills, machine tools, and aerospace. It offers huge bearings for windmills designed to withstand high loads and low speeds, guaranteeing endurance in the face of varying wind forces. With the potential to expand into high-speed rail projects, Durga Bearings is registered with Indian Railways and supplies bearings for coach production, engine assembly, and machinery maintenance. Tata Steel and JSW are the steel sector clients, which depend on it for high-temperature applications in furnaces. It serves customers like ONGC by providing specialty bearings for oil fields that are made for demanding applications and severe environments.
To ensure seamless service, it operates three large warehouses in Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai. With inventory levels equivalent to a year's turnover, the company guarantees quick delivery of critical components, minimizing customer downtime. Bulk procurement from global suppliers enables competitive pricing, and an extensive ready-stock inventory ensures uninterrupted supply.
"We have pioneered the machine tool sector, leveraging over 45 years of expertise. With high-precision bearings essential for performance, the company fulfills 90 percent of customer requirements directly from its inventory. By encouraging planned schedules, we ensure an uninterrupted supply, offering tailored solutions backed by in-depth technical knowledge", says Bishnu Sultania, Director (Operations), Durga Bearings.

Solidifying Reputation
The company embraces IT innovation to optimize operations and enhance customer service. After an initial SAP implementation in 2005 fell short, Durga Bearings developed an in-house ERP system for real-time processes like instant quotations. Subsequently, they adopted Microsoft's Business Central, a cloud-based platform for streamlined inventory management, multi-branch operations, and customer support. An e-Commerce platform further provides real-time stock and order visibility, though adoption is still growing.
Durga Bearings has established itself as a trusted and innovative leader in the bearing industry. Its extensive product range, unmatched technical expertise, and commitment to quality and authenticity have set it apart. "Contributions to prestigious projects like Chandrayaan underscore our leadership in high-precision engineering. We are dedicated to expanding offerings and enhancing customer satisfaction, solidifying our reputation as a reliable partner in the industry", concludes Bishnu.
