    Looks Like Good IPO with reasonable pricing. GOT TO B LUCKY TO GET ALLOTMENT. LONG TERM GOOD EARNING FOR ALLOTEES

    Bearing cage is an important component within a bearing and requires the highest lead time for development and technical and tooling expertise for its manufacture when compared to other components of a bearing.

    Given the critical function of a bearing cage, and the resultant quality requirements, global bearing companies have steadily increased outsourcing for manufacturing of bearing cages and the business from these bearing companies has gotten concentrated to a few bearing cage manufacturers including Harsha Engineering.
