Rohan Rathod, CEO, Delux Bearings (P) Ltd., shares about the new organization restructure at his company, its focus at Auto Expo 2023 and why it feels the government should do more to support the auto component industry better
Overall theme for AUTO EXPO 2023
We are entering into a new organization restructure whereby our offerings and products will increase multifold. Under this new arrangement, we will become the only bearing company in India who offers A to Z types of bearings from under one roof. More details to follow soon. We invite you to visit our Stall D55 at Hall 5FF to witness this milestone in our
journey as the first bearing company of India.
Products to be showcased
For automobiles, we will display all our trademark bearings for clutch actuation, dual mass flywheel, double row bearings in customisable sizes. We are the largest custom size bearing manufacturer in India.
On new products, we will display our comprehensive range of ball bearings, EV bearings, wheel bearings and axle differential bearings. We will cover automotive, industrial, wind, power, railways and even electric bicycles.
Key focus areas
Our focus is towards improvement in rolling friction reduction of both conventional and electric mobility, improving fuel consumption on wheel bearing rolling resistance reduction, smart modular bearings with integrated electronics and also zero failure longest life products like CPCA, CSC, patented wheel bearings, axle bearings, ball bearings, etc.
Expectations from the show
Government should empathize with the auto component industry and help reduce taxes on vehicles. A small piece of metal takes 3~4 companies to shape. With so much employment to the underprivileged masses, the auto components industry will greatly benefit from reduced taxes (from 50% to 20~30% max). The PLI scheme should be rolled out for items of higher exports like bearings, tyres, etc.!
