The Board of Directors of SKF India, India’s leading technology and solutions provider of bearings and units, seals, lubrication, condition monitoring and services, approved the unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2021. The financial highlights are as given below: 

Manish Bhatnagar, Managing Director SKF India, commented, “It has been a tough quarter for the economy due to the catastrophic second wave of COVID-19 across the country. At SKF, our COVID response is firmly focused on the well-being of both our employees and our business.  We are doing everything we can to ensure the safety and health of all our employees, partners and other stakeholders. While the quarter witnessed volatile price and availability challenges on steel and logistics, we have been disciplined in our approach to ensure that this inflationary impact is either eliminated or minimized to reduce the need for price increases to customers. 

We continue to focus on putting our customers and employees first and exercise a strong cost discipline across business operations. Our financial results, despite the challenges, are commendable with strong gains year-on year. We delivered a 130% revenue growth and an 11.4% PAT. This strong performance reflects the strong resilience and a winning spirit of our people.”

SKF’s mission is to be the undisputed leader in the bearing business. We do this by offering solutions that reduce friction and CO2 emissions, whilst at the same time increasing machine uptime and performance. Our products and services around the rotating shaft include bearings, seals, lubrication management, artificial intelligence and wireless condition monitoring. SKF is represented in more than 130 countries and has around 17,000 distributor locations worldwide. Annual sales in 2020 were SEK 74 852 million and the number of employees was 40,963.
