National Engineering Industries (NEI), under its NBC Bearings brand, has entered into a partnership with Germany-based iMRail Technology to propel India’s next-generation mobility solutions.

This collaboration aims to establish a robust ‘Make in India’ ecosystem for advanced transit systems, including low-to-medium speed Maglev, next-gen Monorail, and Ropeways, along with their supporting sub-systems. By combining NEI’s manufacturing prowess with iMRail’s innovation in railborne technologies, the partnership will deliver integrated, high-performance, and sustainable transport solutions. The initiative marks NEI’s strategic expansion beyond bearings into intelligent mobility infrastructure, targeting rail operators, OEMs, and urban transit developers in India and global markets.

The focus areas of the alliance include the joint development of breakthrough nonconventional transport technologies, commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, and integration of digital innovations to transform the future of urban transportation. This move aligns with India’s growing need for smart, efficient, and eco-friendly mobility solutions.
