While the last one year wasn't really great for RSB, SKB is confident about the coming times. With the thrust on Made in India and ‘Make in India' promoted by our Honourable Prime Minister, we are confident of a better time ahead," he says. Last year RSB had a turnover of around Rs1046 crore and this year it is expected to clock around Rs1262 crore, SKB is targeting to cross Rs2750 crore by 2020.

"After prolonged slump, there have been signs of recovery albeit not in line with expectations. But more than the numbers, SK Behera wants RSB ‘to be amongst the most admired organisation with a significant global presence'.

RSB has recently signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh Government for setting up its state-of-art plant at Sri City for manufacturing latest generation of propeller shafts. "For these propeller shafts, we have an on-going collaboration with world-renowned Eugen Klein GmbH, Germany and Jidosha Buhin Kogyo Co. Ltd. (JBK), Japan. This plant will cater to Isuzu Motors and other global OEMs - Ashok Leyland, Daimler, etc in south besides catering to other clients pan India and overseas," he shares.  

SKB's mantra for taking Indian auto components sector to the next level is quite simple. "Leverage the excellence that we have built up to challenge global norms in quality, cost, service and effectiveness. This is a simple mantra. No business is small or gigantic; or good or average. It's the approach you bring to your business process," he states.
