One pic is worth more than a thousand words：

sir there used to be the time in 90s when high trade level was meant for more success, getting high status in world, as how OECD economies led in this regard. but now we expect only moderate growth on the trade side with high internal demands, to have growth from internal demands, and to have less dependence on the external market. and yes its also true that external market is very disturb due to ongoing crisis in EU, including high debt level of US and hence low orders from there too....

from here I would now show you a very different story of 2012, the "Composite PMI" reading which show the very true story in this regard, how much the Manufacturing+Services really grew and we find Chinese companies are struggling due to weak external demands as they are more dependent on the external market while the India companies performed pretty well as the external demands have limited effects on them. check the graph as below:
(on average it was 55 for India and around 51.5 for China for the whole 2012 as below in their graph. here we know that the reading of 50 separate expansion from contraction and Chinese and Indian companies performed as below during 2012 :ranger

One pic is worth more than a thousand words：

this picture tells us a one more fact that for $189.22 billion export, India suffered trade deficit of $129.5 billions, which means for every dollar of export, the trade deficit is around 129.5/189.22 = 68 cents. which means, for every dollar of export, India import around $1.68. hence in case of any type of major disturbance in the external market, it will mean for the saving on the trade side for India as anyhow it on the high deficit side. while it may impose little problem for China in this certain case :ranger:

@cir: China is the world's largest automobile manufacturer. India must be a lowly 5th place in production. So how many times more are the Chinese exports of cars when compared to India?

As this is a thread related to Indian exports, your answer will help DFI members realise how far ahead "Made in China" brand is in the export market compared to the lowly "Made in India" brand!

Continuing its tirade against the successful launch of Agni V, Chinese state media has again accused New Delhi of buckling under pressure from the North Atlantic Treaty organisation to cut down the missile's range from 9,000 km to 5,000 km.

The state-run Global Times said on Sunday in yet another scathing write-up that "India has little to celebrate" as China has raced ahead and outclassed India in development.

Dhama Innovations


The story of Dhama Innovations is a story of how little inconveniences of life can inspire life-changing technologies and solutions

Dhama Innovations was founded by Kranthi Kiran Vistakula, while he was pursuing his Masters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston. Kranthi was plagued by the most common problem faced by people the world over, that of coping with fluctuating weather & temperature extremes in different seasons.
In Boston, the freezing New England winters required Kranthi to wear many layers of clothing every time he stepped out of his house. But the sharp contrast in temperatures between the acute cold outdoors and the centrally heated indoor environment meant putting on and taking off these layers of clothes repeatedly throughout the day. While everybody else accepted this as a rather inconvenient part of life, Kranthi perceived it as an opportunity for innovation that could make life better.

Armed with the first prototype, a jacket made using the ClimaCon technology, he came back to India and began his journey towards achieving this dream.

Maximum protection and maximum performance with minimum weight addition. ClimaWare - Jacket for the soldiers working constantly under extreme temperatures.

ClimaWare - Neck Wrap cools the blood flowing to the brain to keep the body comforted and focused for maximum performance.

ClimaWare-Shoes give complete protection to the feet with instant heating/cooling function for frostbite and heat-injury prevention.

More lives are lost to blood loss than to the bullet itself. And therefore, we made Haemosave possible.

For the feet that want to go places, ClimaWare-Shoes are a feat of uber-technology for ultimate comfort and style.

ClimaWare-Headgear gives round-the-clock, round-the-year comfort to your head from the grime and grind of sport and life.

Choose the temperature your body likes the best to do what you like the best.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HAL/NAL Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA) is a project of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL). It is also known as the Indian Regional Jet (IRJ). This aircraft is supposed to be a turboprop or a jet with a capacity of 70-100 passengers. The basic version will have 70-90 seats (RTA-70). :thumb:

=> RTA-70 Regional Transport Aircraft

Recognising the business opportunities offered by the growth of Civil Aviation, HAL has embarked on a programme for the coproduction of 50-70 seater aircraft with a partner, and is also slated with partners for co development and manufacture of 100 seater aircraft. In early 2007 it was reported that Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) were planning to jointly design and develop a 70-seater civil regional aircraft. Its development cost could run to Rs.4,000 crore and will roll out for certification in six to seven years. The aircraft will cater to regional routes, having a range of around 600 km to 800 km. HAL and the NAL had not decided on aspects such as work share, funding, and even whether the aircraft will have a turbo-prop or turbo jet engine. NAL had held discussions with Pratt and Whitney (Canada) and General Electric (U.S.) for an engine.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The NAL Saras (Sanskrit: Crane) is the first Indian multi-purpose civilian aircraft in the Light Transport Aircraft category designed by the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL).

The original design target parameters included a maximum take-off weight of 6,100 kg and a maximum payload of 1,232 kg, a high cruise speed of over 600 km/h, an endurance of six hours, a maximum flight altitude of 12 km (cruise altitude 10.5 km), short take-off and landing distances of about 600 m, the maximum rate of climb of 12 m/sec, a low cabin noise of 78 dB, a range of 600 km with 19 passengers, 1,200 km with 14 passengers and 2,000 km with eight passengers, a high `specific range' of 2.5 km/kg and a low cost of operation of Rs.5/km.
The first Saras (PT1) completed its maiden flight at the HAL airport in Bangalore on 29 May 2004.[1]

This aircraft is supposed to be a turboprop or a jet with a capacity of 70-100 passengers. The basic version will have 70-90 seats (RTA-70).[1]

The 70-seat aircraft will have a range of 1,350 nm (2,500 km), and require a take-off field length and landing field length of 900m (2,950 ft). The aircraft would have a length of 28.6m and a wing-span of 29.4m. The aircraft would have a service ceiling of 30,000 ft, a cruising speed of 300kt, and the noise level would meet Stage 4 criteria.

The cabin, which would be able to seat four abreast, would have a width of 3.01m and height of 3.35m. The cargo hold would have a volume of 25m³ (880 ft³).
NAL is considering a composite airframe. The aircraft will be powered by two "next-generation turboprop engine". It would have an indigenous fly-by-wire control system, open distributed modular avionics, automatic dependence surveillance - broadcast navigation capabilities, and advanced displays.[5]


=> India unveils details of indigenous 70-seat turboprop

India has adopted a turboprop design for its first indigenous regional aircraft and has released preliminary specifications for the planned 70-seater.

National Aerospace Laboratories is looking for foreign partners for the Regional Transport Aircraft RTA-70 and hopes to secure additional government funding later this year.

NAL officials say that they plan to design the RTA-70 with the Indian market in mind, adding that existing turboprops do not meet those requirements. These include improved fuel efficiency, short landing and take-off capability, and the ability to transport cargo.

This will give the aircraft 25% lower acquisition costs, 25% lower operating costs and 50% lower maintenance costs than existing turboprop regional aircraft, says NAL.

"Many towns and cities remain unconnected due to the cost of operations. Short take-off and landing abilities, capability to land on ill-equipped airfields, including all weather operations, can be of very high benefit," NAL says in its RTA-70 brochure.

"Given the high cost of fuel and its implication to operating economics, developing an aircraft that is fuel-efficient compared with present regional aircraft can be very promising. Lower weight, lower drag can mean higher performance and lower emissions. Capability to carry cargo means additional revenue to an operator," NAL says.

"Initial seed funding has enabled preliminary studies preliminary studies to start," it adds. This has been used for work on aerodynamics including computational fluid dynamics and windtunnel studies, it adds, while preliminary studies on sizing, specifications and performance are in progress.

NAL is eyeing a composite airframe. The aircraft will be powered by two "next-generation turboprop engines", it adds. It would have a fly-by-wire control system, open distributed modular avionics, automatic dependence surveillance - broadcast navigation capabilities, and advanced displays.

The aircraft will have better "energy efficiencies" than its current rivals, says NAL. However, it is unable to say when it hopes to move into the detailed design phase and begin the production of the aircraft.

India's state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics will manufacture the aircraft. This agreement will be similar to a deal to produce the Saras utility/transport turboprop, which NAL has developed primarily for the military, and the Tejas light combat aircraft.

NAL is seeking international partners to help it in several areas. Diehl has come on board to help design the cabin and the two teams unveiled a proposed cabin at India Aviation 2010 in Hyderabad.

Tata Jaguar Land Rover to add nearly 800 new jobs at UK plant

Tata Motors is living up to its reputation as one of Britain's biggest manufacturing employers and is set to add hundreds of new jobs at one of its UK plants. Just days after the news came that Japanese car major Honda was to cut 800 jobs at its Swindon factory, Tata-owned Jaguar Land

JLR already employs as many as 24,000 people in the UK.

According to the Sunday Times, an announcement of the latest recruitment drive is expected in time for the Detroit Motor Show which begins tomorrow.

The investment, which defies a general slowdown in the auto industry, is largely down to a surge in demand for JLR brands in China, Russia and the US.

The iconic British car giant, taken over by Tata in 2008, registered record profits of 1.5 billion pounds last year due to this overseas boost.

It marks a significant reversal of fortunes for JLR under the stewardship of Tata Motors, which had announced 1,000 new jobs at its Halewood plant on Merseyside last year and now employs nearly 24,000 staff in the UK.

Following a period of uncertainty as the credit crunch hit soon after Tata's takeover from Ford, the sales of most JLR brands rebounded considerably to result in an ambitious expansion plan two years ago.

The company wants to launch 40 new models in the next five years and has a target of making 60,000 cars a year.

A sporty new Range Rover is expected to be launched in April this year.

Tata, under former chairman Ratan Tata, had also earmarked 350 million pounds on constructing an engine plant in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands.

More than 80 per cent of the vehicles made at JLR's three British factories – the third at Castle Bromwich, also in the Midlands – are shipped abroad.

Last year the company clinched a joint venture deal with Chinese car maker Chery to make JLR models in China.

The company had recently revealed plans to launch a scheme, alongside Warwick University, to train an additional 150 staff each year to degree level across a range of disciplines to address skill shortages.

Besides growing its UK plants, it has plans to expand in China and India in order to double global production by the end of the decade.

JLR's robust 2012 sales also contributed to the highest levels of new car registrations in the UK since 2008, making the UK the second-largest car market in Europe. :thumb:
