Establishment of Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited:
The bank note printing in India started in 1928 with the establishment of India Security Press at Nashik by Government of India. The
second bank note printing press was established in Dewas (Madhya Pradesh) in 1975 by Government of India.
But with the increase in population of the country and economic activity, demand for bank notes increased. So, the Government of India
decided to establish two new bank note printing presses.
The project for setting up new printing presses was started by the Government of India which was then transferred to RBI in December
1989. The BRBNMPL was incorporated as a Private Limited Company on 3 February 1995.
Considering the magnitude of the project, the Company decided to establish the presses in two phases viz, Phase I for establishing a
Mini Press with a single production line at each site. The Phase II involved establishment of the Main Presses with 7 lines of production
in Mysore and 8 lines of production in Salboni.
