Nishit Behera From RSB Transmissions shares insights on Next-Gen, Sustainable & Competitive Construction Equipment
The company’s strong foundation in quality, innovation and sustainability positions it as a key contributor to India’s next era of industrial progress.
Nishit Behera, Executive Director – Business & Product Development
RSB operates 18 manufacturing plants in India and two in the U.S.
India’s manufacturing sector continues to grow rapidly, and RSB Global stands out as one of the organisations shaping this industrial shift. Built on five decades of engineering strength, precision manufacturing and process excellence, RSB has evolved from a small component supplier into a global engineering partner contributing to automotive, construction, mining and emerging mobility technologies.Founded in 1973 by technocrats R.K. Behera and S.K. Behera with a modest ₹2 lakh investment, RSB has expanded into a multinational organisation serving customers across India, the United States, Europe and Korea. Today, the company operates 18 manufacturing plants in India, along with two international facilities in the U.S. and Mexico. The company’s growth has been shaped by consistent effort, capability-building and a long-term view of industrial development.
RSB’s growth has been guided by a strong commitment to technology adoption, design capability and reliable execution. The company’s journey from producing small automotive components to delivering complete aggregates such as propeller shafts is a milestone in its transformation.
Supporting the company engineering innovation is our I-DESIGN Engineering Solutions Centre.
This Center in Pune is enabling advanced R&D in EV drivetrains, e-axles, reducer gearboxes and precision components needed for next-generation mobility. I-Design has in-house testing capability and facility for the validation processes required to manufacture critical driveline components at scale. Digitised processes, modern fabrication, machining and assembly capabilities backed by IoT-driven monitoring and manufacturing 4.0 systems reinforce consistency, efficiency and quality across its operations.Our high-strength structural components are designed for demanding Construction and Mining jobsites.
With over three decades of domain expertise, RSB is a trusted manufacturer of high-strength structural components used in demanding Construction and Mining environments. The portfolio includes main frames and track frames, loader buckets, and booms, welded structures for excavators, specialised attachments including long-reach booms and couplers. Advanced welding systems, robotic fabrication, CNC machining and rigorous non-destructive testing ensure fatigue resistance, durability and long lifecycle performance, even in heavy-duty operating environments.Non-destructive testing, including ultrasonic flaw detector, magnetic particle test, and dye-penetrant checks, ensures that welded joints and load-bearing sections meet international standards. Whether it is a structural arm for a 52-ton excavator or a gearbox for a commercial vehicle, the focus remains on accuracy, process discipline and long service life.
For mining applications, RSB manufactures complex structures like centre frames and tail frames for large excavators up to the 85-120 tonne class, working extensively with heavy castings, alloy steels and controlled welding procedures.
Our manufacturing plants in Pune, Jamshedpur, and Pantnagar have received the prestigious Deming Prize.
RSB’s focus on continuous improvement and operational discipline has earned significant recognition. Manufacturing plants in Pune, Jamshedpur, and Pantnagar have received the prestigious Deming Prize, awarded only to organisations demonstrating global standards in Total Quality Management.Additionally, four other facilities have achieved the TPM Excellence Award (Category A) from the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance—reinforcing the company’s culture of precision, reliability and operational maturity.
Water conservation, waste management and resource optimisation have become our key focus areas.
As industries transition toward cleaner, durable and energy-efficient systems, RSB is strengthening its ESG commitments. The company has adopted digital reporting dashboards to reduce waste, optimise energy consumption and improve resource efficiency across its manufacturing footprint.RSB is increasing the use of renewable energy sources and investing in technologies that reduce the environmental footprint of its plants. What makes RSB’s ESG approach meaningful is that it is embedded into the organisation’s daily operations rather than functioning as a separate initiative.
RSB is also investing in renewable energy integration and hydrogen-ready technologies while scaling capabilities in electric vehicle components, smart drivetrains and next-generation mobility systems. With increasing investment in infrastructure development, clean mobility and industrial expansion, demand for high-performance engineering and precision-built equipment will continue to grow.
Under RSB Foundation, 22 large-scale projects are currently active in over 300 villages.
Under RSB Foundation, the CSR wing of RSB Group, the company has made significant strides in community service by improving access to quality education, healthcare, rural and urban development, along with environmental sustainability. Since its inception, over 30 lakh lives have been positively impacted through 22 large-scale projects currently active in more than 300 villages.As industries shift toward smarter, cleaner and more efficient technologies, RSB’s engineering capability, combined with responsible manufacturing and future-ready solutions, will continue to drive value for partners and the broader manufacturing ecosystem.
