Product Profile
13. HMT Bearings designs and manufactures various ball, cylindrical roller and taper roller bearings.
% D O O � E H D U L Q J V
These range from single row deep groove to self-aligning ball bearings. The deep groove ballbearings are of the conrad type, assembled without the aid of a filling slot. Deep uninterrupted
raceways, though designed primarily for light and moderated radial loads, will tolerate thrust loads
in either direction as well as combined radial and thrust loads. These bearings are available with
shields, seals, grooves on outer rings making them ideally suited for a wide and varied range of
applications.
The self-aligning ball bearings are particularly suited to applications where housing alignment orshaft deflection pose difficult problems. The use of these bearings eliminates the need for expensive
precision machining of housing.
The range of ball bearings cover all the popular sizes required by the Indian industry from 15mm
bore to 75mm bore.
& \ O L Q G U L F D O � U R O O H U � E H D U L Q J V
These bearings offer maximum flexibility and optimum performance. HMTB produces 2 basic
types– separable inner race and separable outer race with variations such as N, NF, NU, NUS,
NJ, NH, NUP, etc.
These design options give the engineer complete flexibility in selecting the right bearing for the right
application. These bearings combine valuable performance with least installation cost.
These bearings are produced with bore size from 20mm to 110mm. Apart from this, the company
has successfully designed and manufactured a specialised bearing of bore 160mm to be used in thedefense industry.
7 D S H U � U R O O H U � E H D U L Q J V
These bearings are ideally suited to support heavy combinations of thrust and radial loads.
Geometrically, the extension of the contact lines between the rollers and the races meet at a
common point on the bearing axis of rotation. This design provides a true rolling motion for
supporting combined radial and thrust loads in one direction.
Taper roller bearings range from extra light, light and medium series. Bearings ranging from bore of
19mm to 120mm are manufactured.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Guidelines for qualification of Bidders seeking to acquire stakes in Public Sector Enterprises through theprocess of disinvestment
Government has examined the issue of framing comprehensive and transparent guidelines defining the criteria forbidders interested in PSE-disinvestment so that the parties selected through competitive bidding could inspire
public confidence. Earlier, criteria like net worth, experience etc. used to be prescribed. Based on experienceand in consultation with concerned departments, Government has decided to prescribe the following additional
criteria for the qualification / disqualification of the parties seeking to acquire stakes in public sector enterprisesthrough disinvestment:
(a) In regard to matters other than the security and integrity of the country, any conviction by a Court of Law or
indictment / adverse order by a regulatory authority that casts a doubt on the ability of the bidder to manage thepublic sector unit when it is disinvested, or which relates to a grave offence would constitute disqualification.
Grave offence is defined to be of such a nature that it outrages the moral sense of the community. The decision inregard to the nature of the offence would be taken on case to case basis after considering the facts of the caseand relevant legal principles, by the Government.
(b) In regard to matters relating to the security and integrity of the country, any charge-sheet by an agency of the
Government / conviction by a Court of Law for an offence committed by the bidding party or by any sisterconcern of the bidding party would result in disqualification. The decision in regard to the relationship between
the sister concerns would be taken, based on the relevant facts and after examining whether the two concernsare substantially controlled by the same person/persons.
(c) In both (a) and (b), disqualification shall continue for a period that Government deems appropriate.
(d) Any entity, which is disqualified from participating in the disinvestment process, would not be allowed toremain associated with it or get associated merely because it has preferred an appeal against the order based on
which it has been disqualified. The mere pendency of appeal will have no effect on the disqualification.
(e) The disqualification criteria would come into effect immediately and would apply to all bidders for variousdisinvestment transactions, which have not been completed as yet.
(f) Before disqualifying a concern, a Show Cause Notice why it should not be disqualified would be issued to itand it would be given an opportunity to explain its position.
(g) Henceforth, these criteria will be prescribed in the advertisements seeking Expression of Interest (EOI) fromthe interested parties. The interested parties would be required to provide the information on the above criteria,along with their Expressions of Interest (EOI). The bidders shall be required to provide with their EOI an
undertaking to the effect that no investigation by a regulatory authority is pending against them. In case anyinvestigation is pending against the concern or its sister concern or against its CEO or any of its
Directors/Managers/employees, full details of such investigation including the name of the investigating agency,the charge/offence for which the investigation has been launched, name and designation of persons against whom
the investigation has been launched and other relevant information should be disclosed, to the satisfaction of theGovernment. For other criteria also, a similar undertaking shall be obtained along with EOI.
