Our financial results demonstrate NRB’s agility, operational excellence, and ability to deliver sustained profitability.”

She further added,

“Our growth accelerator remains focused on expanding market share, deepening penetration, and offering a wider range of products—from design to delivery—leveraging our strong R&D foundation. While maintaining leadership in mobility friction solutions, we are now strategically scaling our presence in industrial friction solutions, targeting high-growth and sunrise sectors.”

In line with its sustainability and diversification strategy, NRB has completed the acquisition of an 8.5 per cent stake in Ampere, enabling it to source up to 15 MWp of solar power in Maharashtra for captive consumption, reinforcing its renewable energy commitment.

As part of its long-term vision, NRB has embarked on a Rs 2 billion expansion plan, the first phase of its roadmap toward achieving a turnover of Rs 25+ billion by FY2031. The company is pursuing global joint ventures for co-developing advanced friction solutions for next-generation industrial applications, alongside strategic acquisitions and manufacturing modernization to drive capacity expansion, automation, and mass customization.

Outlook:

In the near term, NRB remains focused on diversifying beyond automotive while sustaining its leadership in that segment. The company continues to target industries with high entry barriers—such as industrial machinery, aerospace, and defence—through selective acquisitions and partnerships for accelerated growth.

“Our strategic focus remains on speed, scalability, and margin consistency,” Zaveri emphasized. “With our people, R&D strength, and commitment to innovation, we are well-positioned to deliver sustainable and profitable growth.”
