After market is facing very challenging situations and is down. Management acknowledged this but noted NRB is less dependent on aftermarket compared to competitors due to OEM focus and no margin differentiation.
US business accounts for 45% of exports but customers have lowered demand patterns. Management stated results have been achieved despite this headwind.
Analyst asked about total bearing market size (₹20,000 crore in India) and NRB's addressable market for needle/cylindrical bearings. Management declined to provide specific TAM data citing competitive reasons.
Management indicated inventory cannot go below 90-100 days due to customer reliability expectations and global supply chain volatility (post-COVID, Red Sea situation). This limits working capital improvement potential.
