The new approvals take Timken’s total BIS licences to eight in 2026, the highest number awarded to any bearing company in India.
Timken has secured two new licences from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for its bearing manufacturing operations in Bharuch, Gujarat, further strengthening its manufacturing and quality compliance capabilities in India.
The newly awarded licences include IS 6454 for double-row cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs) at the company’s new Bharuch facility. According to Timken, this marks the first time any bearing company in India has received this licence for double-row CRBs. The second approval, IS 6457 for cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs), has been granted to its existing Bharuch facility.
With these additions, Timken has received a total of eight BIS licences in 2026, reportedly the highest number awarded to any bearing company in India during the year.
The latest certifications underscore the company’s continued focus on manufacturing quality, product reliability and engineering excellence. They also reflect its efforts to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and meet applicable Indian standards across its bearing product portfolio.
