Hey Questers, 

Hope u all r doing fine...


India’s currency journey is not only a story of design and security but also of precision and heritage. The country’s banknotes are produced at four major facilities, each contributing to maintaining the integrity and demand of India’s circulating currency.

Two of these presses are operated by the Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited (BRBNML), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. These are located in Mysore and Salboni. Established to enhance self-sufficiency in currency production, these modern facilities use cutting-edge technology to print high-quality notes with advanced security features.

The remaining two presses fall under the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Ltd. (SPMCIL), which functions under the Ministry of Finance. These are situated in Nashik and Dewas. Alongside currency notes, these units handle the printing of non-judicial stamp papers, security documents, and other government-issued materials.
