Timken India Achieves Industry First with Four Key BIS Bearing Licenses, Boosting Market Confidence

Timken India Limited (NSE: TIMKEN) has achieved a significant milestone by securing four Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) licenses for its bearing product portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to quality, engineering excellence, and regulatory compliance. The development marks an important step in the company’s efforts to strengthen its position in India’s rapidly growing industrial and manufacturing sectors.

A key highlight of this achievement is that Timken India has become the first company in India to obtain BIS licenses for both Cylindrical Roller Bearing (CRB) and Tapered Roller Bearing (TRB) roller production across multiple manufacturing locations, including its facilities in Bharuch and Jamshedpur.

Major Milestone for Manufacturing Excellence

The BIS certification process involves a comprehensive evaluation of product design, manufacturing systems, testing procedures, and quality-control standards. By securing these licenses, Timken India has demonstrated that its products meet stringent national standards for safety, reliability, and performance.

The accomplishment further validates the company’s focus on delivering world-class bearing solutions for industries ranging from automotive and railways to infrastructure, mining, and heavy engineering.

Commenting on the achievement, Sanjay Koul, Chairman and Managing Director of Timken India Limited, said:

“Securing four BIS licenses and being the first in India to obtain CRB and TRB roller licenses across multiple plants underscores our commitment to the highest standards of quality, engineering and customer service.”

Strategic Benefits for Timken India

The newly acquired BIS licenses are expected to provide several long-term business advantages:

Expanded Market Opportunities

Stronger Supply Chain Capabilities
