NRB Bearings Invests ₹200 Crore to Fuel European OEM Programs

NRB Bearings has unveiled a ₹200 crore investment plan to expand its manufacturing capacity, aimed at supporting key European original equipment manufacturer (OEM) programmes, including those for BMW, Stellantis, and Renault.

Approved by the company’s board, the expansion will enhance production capabilities for cylindrical roller bearings, needle roller bearings, thrust and combination bearings, and taper roller bearings. It will also involve upgrades in heat treatment technology, infrastructure development, and downstream integration to boost efficiency and scalability.

This initiative is backed by ₹600 crore in lifetime nominated business from European Tier-1 customers. It will enable NRB Bearings to support next-generation vehicle platforms—spanning electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and internal combustion engine (ICE) models. Additionally, the company has secured new business in the E-drive segment for premium EVs.

“Our ability to win critical programmes across EV, hybrid and ICE platforms demonstrates both the strength of our engineering and our focus on execution,” said Harshbeena Zaveri, Managing Director of NRB Bearings.

The expansion is planned over the next two years and is expected to further reinforce NRB Bearings’ position as a key supplier of advanced bearing solutions to the global automotive industry.
