Company Profile

NATIONAL ENGINEERING INDUSTRIES LTD., the renowned industrialist, late Shri B.M. Birla, under the name of National Bearing Company Limited, founded JAIPUR in the year 1946 as a pioneer industry in the field of bearing manufacture. The first bearing was manufactured in 1950 with a modest start of 30,000 bearings in 19 sizes. The company is now manufacturing nearly 3.8 million bearings per month in over 500 different sizes ranging from 6 mm bore to 1300 mm outer diameter and has the capacity to manufacture bearings up to 2000 mm outer diameter. At NEI, the development of bearings is a never-ending job. With ever increasing activities and grant of industrial licenses for other vital industries and manufacturing of Roller Bearing Axle Boxes for Railway Rolling Stock, Steel Balls, Tapered Roller Bearings, Spindle Inserts etc., the name of the company was changed in 1958 to "National Engineering Industries Ltd." retaining its original trade mark NBC. The industry is spread over 118 acres of land in Jaipur and 56 acres in Gunsi (Newai). This is the only unit in the country manufacturing wide variety and range of bearings such as Ball Bearings, Steel Balls, Tapered Roller Bearings, Cylindrical Roller Bearings & Axle Boxes for Railway Rolling Stock including Spherical Roller Bearings, Cartridge Tapered Roller Bearings and Large Diaz special Bearings in separate fully equipped factories. The development of National Engineering Industries Ltd., was pioneered with a theme "Indigenization and Self-reliance". NBC Bearings are widely used by 2 and 3 Wheelers, Cars, Trucks, Tractors, Electric Motors, Railway wagon, Coach & Locomotive manufacturers as Original Equipment and Steel Mills, Heavy Engineering Plants, Bulldozers, Shovels, Tillers and Thermal Power Plants all across the country. The development of NEI ltd. was pioneered with a theme Indigenization and self reliance
