Timken India Limited has received four licenses from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for its bearing products, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s manufacturing and quality assurance capabilities. The approvals cover two product categories across its manufacturing facilities in Bharuch and Jamshedpur, reinforcing Timken India’s compliance with Indian quality standards and strengthening its position in the domestic bearings industry.
The certifications include BIS licenses for Cylindrical Roller Bearing (CRB) roller production at the Company’s new Bharuch manufacturing facility, along with BIS approvals for Tapered Roller Bearing (TRB) roller production at both the Bharuch and Jamshedpur plants. The approvals were granted following a comprehensive evaluation of product design, manufacturing processes and quality management systems to ensure compliance with applicable Indian standards for bearing performance and safety.
Commenting on the achievement, Sanjay Koul, Chairman and Managing Director, Timken India Limited, said, “Receiving four BIS licenses, including becoming the first company in India to secure BIS certifications for CRB and TRB roller production across multiple manufacturing facilities, reflects our continued focus on engineering excellence, product quality and customer satisfaction. These certifications strengthen our ability to supply bearings that meet stringent national standards while supporting customers across regulated industries with reliable, high-quality products.”
The BIS certifications are expected to enhance customer confidence by facilitating easier qualification of Timken India’s bearings for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), infrastructure projects and other regulated sectors. The approvals are also expected to strengthen supply reliability by enabling certified production across multiple facilities, improving regional availability and reducing lead times. In addition, the certifications will support distributors and customers participating in tenders that require BIS-compliant bearing products through streamlined documentation and qualification processes.
