Bearings: Schaeffler India Ltd owns the largest revenue base AND the fastest current growth.
Nifty Bearings Index — Constituents & Performance
The Bearings companies below are the listed Indian Bearings universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Bearings index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.
The sector itself · before any single company
How has Bearings moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 25% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 2% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 17 weeks running.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 7 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Is Bearings outperforming NIFTY 500?
The 52-week comparison of Bearings against NIFTY 500 is not available from the current market series. 4 of 6 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. NRB Bearings Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +26.6%. Readings are as of 2026-07-19.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
NRB Bearings Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 87.8% evidence confidence.
Rolex Rings Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -4.3% and the one-year return is -1.3%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Schaeffler India Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 7 Bearings companies compared here, at ₹10,506 crore. SKF India Ltd is next at ₹3,764 crore. The same company also holds the highest Revenue growth, at 19.7%. 6 of 7 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026. Its Revenue series carries 20 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: Schaeffler India Ltd is the scale leader at ₹10,506 crore, 179.1% ahead of SKF India Ltd. Schaeffler India Ltd's growth is 19.7% from a ₹10,506 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Schaeffler India Ltd is the scale benchmark; Schaeffler India Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Schaeffler India Ltd's growth falls below Schaeffler India Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.
This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Bearings comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 7 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 has second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 1 of the 8 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
1 company is missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.
Thin comparisons: Capital expenditure have fewer than three usable current readings.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 7 companies in the canonical Bearings membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
How each company's sources stand: 1 of 7 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: Timken India Ltd (TIMKEN) — its two data sources disagree by up to 4.3% on reported income across 5 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.
Evidence and freshness
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 7 Bearings companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-24. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
FundamentalsThrough Jun 2026 · up to 20 quarters per company
Market dataThrough 2026-07-24 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes, CAPEX intensity, net debt, guarded PEG and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from. Every company's standing is listed in the register above.
These 18 answers restate the Bearings comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 7 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-24. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
What is the Nifty Bearings index?
The Nifty Bearings index tracks India's listed Bearings companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 7 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Bearings sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Bearings stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, NRB Bearings Ltd places first among 7 listed Bearings companies, followed by Schaeffler India Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.
How many Bearings stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 7 listed Bearings companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026.
Which Bearings company is the biggest?
Schaeffler India Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹10,506 crore, ahead of SKF India Ltd at ₹3,764 crore. That covers 6 of 7 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Bearings company is growing fastest?
Schaeffler India Ltd has the fastest revenue growth at 19.7% year on year, across 5 of 7 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Bearings company has the best profit margins?
Timken India Ltd has the highest operating margin at 22%, from 7 of 7 comparable companies. Harsha Engineers International Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Bearings company makes the most profit?

Which Bearings company earns the highest return on capital?
SKF India (Industrial) Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 29.9%, across 7 of 7 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Bearings stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — NRB Bearings Ltd screens cheapest at 0.59×. Only 5 of 7 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Bearings company has the strongest balance sheet?
Rolex Rings Ltd carries the lowest comparable gross debt at ₹0 crore, from 7 of 7 companies.

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown.

Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
