Timken India Limited, a subsidiary of the US-based The Timken Company, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of engineered bearings and industrial motion products in India. Established in 1987 as Tata Timken Limited—a joint venture between Tata Iron and Steel Company and The Timken Company—the company began commercial operations at its Jamshedpur plant in 1992. In 1999, Timken acquired Tata Steel's 40% stake, leading to its current name. Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the company is listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The company’s core business revolves around the manufacture, distribution, and sale of anti-friction bearings, primarily tapered roller bearings, as well as components, accessories, and mechanical power transmission products. Its extensive portfolio includes ball, precision, and spherical roller bearings, alongside power transmission products like seals, lubrication systems, gearboxes, and linear motion products. These solutions serve a diverse range of critical industries, including Indian Railways, automotive (commercial and light vehicles), aerospace, agriculture, mining, metals, and renewable energy sectors like wind power. Timken India operates state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) and Bharuch (Gujarat). In 2025, the company expanded its Bharuch operations with a new facility dedicated to Spherical Roller Bearings (SRB) and Cylindrical Roller Bearings (CRB). Additionally, the company leverages the Bangalore Technology Center, one of Timken's four global innovation hubs, which provides advanced product design, application engineering, and technical services. This integration allows Timken India to offer high-level engineering expertise to both domestic and international customers. Beyond manufacturing, Timken India provides comprehensive industrial services, including bearing refurbishment, gearbox repair, and on-site MILLTEC bearing and roll shop management. Its subsidiary, Timken Engineering and Research India Private Limited, provides strategic support in IT and shared services for Timken’s global operations. Financially, Timken India has shown consistent growth, reporting a revenue of approximately INR 3,200 crore for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The company maintains a strong market position with a market capitalization of over INR 27,000 crore and is noted for being almost debt-free with a healthy dividend payout. Led by Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Koul, the company emphasizes ethics, integrity, and sustainability, integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks into its operations. Through continuous innovation and a robust distribution network of six warehouses and multiple sales offices, Timken India continues to be a pivotal player in India’s industrial landscape.
