Mundra Or Mandya, A Driver Is A Driver

The rustic beauty of Tornagallu is still vivid in my memory. The roads, fields, avenue trees the hills and hillocks painted red by nature. An iron ore mines area. Small little hamlets thrown into the tumultuous uproar of the tipper trucks. Young drivers in their early thirties literally flying these tippers unmindful of the consequences of safety or the cascading effects on their health.

ACCL - Lines Up Multi-Pronged Market Expansion Plans Highest-Ever Turnover Achieved In FY19

Back in 1980, a company named Automotive Castings Ltd. came into existence as the result of a joint venture between Ashok Leyland and the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation to support Ashok Leyland’s castings requirements. A year later, it was renamed as Automotive Coaches and Components Ltd. (ACCL) and began manufacturing ‘on-chassis’ application products, catering mainly to Ashok Leyland’s requirements. Nearly four decades on, ACCL has established itself as a leading and one of the most reputed manufacturers of truck applications, viz., “on-chassis” and “after-chassis” in the country.

Tyre Industry To Grow 8-10% In Fy2018 Driven By Improving Demand, Rising Exports And Low Imports

The Indian tyre industry is expected to post a higher volume growth of 8-10% for FY2018. The growth, says an ICRA research note, will be supported by robust growth pick-up across all industry sub-segments. Automobile production in FY2018 is expected to rise strongly by 14% plus, up from 5.2% in FY2017 and 3.2% in FY2016. Thus a strong traction in OEM volumes during April 2017-January 2018, coupled with the traction in replacement markets post the Goods and Service Tax (GST) upheaval, the volume growth estimates for tyres has been scaled up from an earlier 7-8% to 8-10%.

Auto Expo 2018 Motor Show CV Makers Unveil Exciting New Products, EVS Steal The Show.

The 14th edition of India’s biggest automotive event at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, where automakers unwrapped their brainchildren with lots of glamour, glitz and grandeur, turned out to be a relatively smaller show in size, but fairly illustrious in terms of stock extravaganza and sneak peek into future mobility. This year the event seemed far mellower since the beginning. That was partially expected, as the list of non-participants exceeded the exhibitors, therefore less number of stalls and ensuing crowd. Yet, I still hoped that the show would pick up gradually like a diesel engine to its peak torque. But it seemed not getting any better.​​​​​​
