This presentation outlines the capability, capacity, and experience of Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited (BRBNMPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), across the entire banknote production value chain from Concept to Cash. It highlights BRBNMPL’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of productivity, quality, security, and safety, which together define its leadership in the field of currency manufacturing.
With more than 28 years of proven excellence, BRBNMPL ranks among the world’s largest producers of banknotes, with an installed capacity of about 20 billion notes per year. The organization operates two state-of-the-art printing presses located in different parts of India, supported by self-reliant paper and ink manufacturing units that ensure complete control over every stage of production.
In its early years, production activities depended on external sources for design, paper, and ink. Over the past two decades, BRBNMPL has developed in-house facilities and expertise in these areas, successfully tested and stabilized its processes, and established itself as a self-sufficient enterprise. Today, it is poised to extend its reach to international markets. The organization is certified under ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards.
Following its end-to-end production philosophy, BRBNMPL possesses integrated capabilities that include design, pre-press, offset, intaglio, numbering, over print varnishing, finishing, and advanced sheet inspection systems. The company also operates high-capacity cutting and single-note inspection systems, a comprehensive testing laboratory for materials, and a dedicated research and development centre. Security is ensured through round-the-clock surveillance by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF – armed police force of GoI) with advanced video analytics, making BRBNMPL’s facilities among the most secure industrial sites in the country.
Innovation and sustainability form the core of BRBNMPL’s operational approach. The organization continually works to develop energy-efficient processes and minimize waste, while fostering indigenous R&D collaborations to enhance product durability and reduce environmental impact. These initiatives align with global sustainability goals and strengthen the long-term resilience of India’s currency production ecosystem.
Driven by a skilled workforce and equipped with cutting-edge technology, BRBNMPL consistently achieves excellence in capacity utilization, productivity, and turnaround efficiency. Building on its strong foundation, the organization is now ready to share its expertise and best practices with the global banknote industry through design services, supply of plates, inks, and banknotes, as well as technical consultancy.
