The Board of Directors of NRB Bearings Limited has approved a capital expenditure of ₹200 crore aimed at upgrading and enhancing production capacity across its manufacturing facilities located in Jalna, Chikalthana, Waluj, and Hyderabad.
This move is intended to meet increasing demand in both domestic and international markets and will be implemented over the next two years. The expansion is expected to increase capacity by 15% to 25% across various bearing product families, depending on customer requirements.
