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.

The Indian tyre industry is expected to post a higher volume growth of 8-10% for FY2018.

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.

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.​​​​​​
