NRB Bearings Completes Strategic Acquisition of Mahant Tool Room

NRB Bearings Limited (NRB), India's premier manufacturer of high-performance bearings and friction solutions, today announced the successful closing of its strategic acquisition of Mahant Tool Room (MTR). This milestone marks a defining expansion for the NRB Group into the high-precision global aerospace and defence sectors.

In tandem with the acquisition, the company announced that MTRPL has been awarded the AS9100D Certification for Precision Machined Components and Bearings for Aerospace & Defence-the gold standard for aviation manufacturing excellence.

Strategic Highlights & Market Impact

- Accessing a $14.5 Billion to $16.5 Billion Market: This acquisition extends NRB's capabilities well beyond its core automotive and industrial verticals. It positions the Group to capture a meaningful share of the estimated $14.5B-$16.5B global aerospace ecosystem for critical components, including landing gear parts, fuel injection systems, emergency doors, and plain spherical bearings.

- Fast-Tracking the 2031 Growth Vision: Coming on the heels of a recently established industrial bearings and friction solutions joint venture, this acquisition accelerates NRB''s articulated roadmap to double its consolidated revenue by 2031.

- Capital-Efficient 'Plug-and-Play' Model: By deploying a plug-and-play operational model, NRB drastically compresses time-to-market for entering high-barrier segments. The company will leverage its world-class R&D prowess and deep relationships with global automotive and tier 1 giants-including Daimler, Audi, Magna, ZF, and prominent Indian OEMs-to unlock commercial aerospace and defence opportunities.

- Establishing a Dual-Use Technological Moat to enter the aerospace and defence industries: Integrating MTR's specialized manufacturing of mission-critical aerospace components with NRB's advanced friction solutions creates a highly profitable, dual-use technology moat serving both defence requirements and commercial aerospace applications.

"We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our acquisition of Mahant Tool Room (MTR). This marks a defining milestone in NRB Group's strategic expansion.

Achieving the AS9100D certification alongside closing this acquisition is a pathbreaking milestone. It paves the way for exponential growth, allowing us to offer our range of high-performance, mission-critical precision components and aerospace bearings to the world's most demanding aerospace and defence companies. As the only Indian company offering such advanced bearings to the global aerospace industry, we are firmly on an accelerated path to unlocking long-term, sustainable value for our stakeholders." - Harshbeena Zaveri, Vice Chairperson and Managing Director, NRB Bearings Limited.
