MRF has started production at its new plant in Tiruchi (Tamil Nadu).

The company has invested around Rs 900 crore on the 200-acre plant, which will manufacture a full range of tyres, including truck tyres and radials. It will cater to both domestic and export requirements.

The plant has just begun rolling out tyres, for both commercial and non-commercial vehicles. “Ramp-up is happening. We expect it to reach full capacity in six months,” said Mr Koshy Varghese, Executive Vice-President – Marketing.

This facility was proposed as its existing six manufacturing units were operating at full capacity.

MRF's other manufacturing units are in Arakonam, Tiruvottiyur (Tamil Nadu), Medak (Andhra Pradesh), Goa, Kottayam (Kerala) and Puducherry.
Net sales, profit up

The company has posted a 25 per cent increase (year-on-year) in net sales at Rs 3,264 crore. Net profit rose 68 per cent to Rs 150 crore.

Mr Varghese says the driver of growth this quarter has been the replacement market. According to an analyst, the after-market sales give pricing power to companies, enabling them to post high margins.

Rubber prices have also cooled off substantially, from the peak of Rs 240 a kg to Rs 190 now.

This has had a positive impact on operating margins which have grown from 8.4 per cent a year ago to 10 per cent now.

MRF's share price was down 1.77 per cent to close at Rs 11,234.20 on the BSE on Thursday.

BHEL, Tiruchi, has agreed to register tier-II vendor units in Tiruchi, paving way for growth of output through ancillary industries, according to Rajappa Rajkumar, president of BHEL Small Industries' Association (BHELSIA).

Work load for the tier-II micro-units would be provided by the tier-I industries. BHEL's vendors in Tiruchi have been set an output target of three lakh tonnes against two lakh tonnes set for away centre fabricators, he said recently, at a follow up meeting conducted by the R.K entrepreneurship and skill development centre and Periyar Technology Business Incubator (TBI) for their entrepreneurship development programmes (EDP) and entrepreneurship and skill development program (ESDP).

Quality-conscious customers of BHEL, Tiruchi, favoured the outsourcing works to be done in Tiruchi, he said distributing certificates to participants of the training programmes sponsored by the National science and technology entrepreneurship development Board(NSTEDB) and ESDP were sponsored by National institute for micro, small and medium entrepreneurship (nimsme).

The EDPs was conducted for SC beneficiaries by the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of Tamil Nadu at Shivani Engineering College.

S.Kandasamy, General Manager, District Industries' Centre, also joined Mr.Rajappa Rajkumar in distributing the certificates to the participants of the programme in the presence of the Project Director of Periyar Technology Business Incubator C.Ramaswamy Desai, S.Vigneswaran, Secretary, Shivani Group of Institutions, and N.Kanagasabapathy, Managing Trustee of R.K.Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Centre.

Mr.Kandasamy said a subsidy amount of Rs.52.5 lakh has been allotted for Tiruchi district this year under Unemployed Youth Employment Generation Programme, and informed that the much awaited Prime Ministers Employment Guarantee Programme has been introduced this year. A beneficiary of PMEGP is entitled to a maximum loan of Rs.50 lakh with Rs.17.5 lakh subsidy component, he said.

Trichy has a boiler outsourcing office

-prasanna/T.P.

Whats the actual work of this unit, it would be great if they set up a unit here attached to this office.

[bajk]

Basically the office will handle outsourcing fabrication work to units in Trichy for their boilers manufactured in Hazira. If I am not wrong Isham had mentioned LT will set up a unit in Mathur, not sure fabrication or boiler unit though.

Power generation from wind mills over the last few days has enabled the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the immense relief of industries in the region.

Industries, particularly ancillaries of BHEL, Tiruchi, hope that the power situation will smoothen in the near future with the onset of windy season and the scope for the State to augment its power position with its share from the Kudankulam nuclear power plant shortly.

Pushed to the wall, vendors of BHEL have for so long been operating their units with diesel generator sets at times of power cuts, spending heavily on fuel, in order to ensure continuity of work. The units will still have to utilise diesel generator sets since they have to abide by the peak hour restriction from 6.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. “Lifting of peak hour restriction will facilitate enhancement of productivity significantly,” BHELSIA president Rajappa Rajkumar said, requesting the State government to strengthen the grid for diverting wind power effectively.

Having suffered heavy productivity losses in the last few years, the vendors are now able to entertain hopes of fulfilling their commitment to the BHEL, Tiruchi, to complete 60 per cent of outsourcing target in the first six months. The BHELSIA has been set a target of 3 lakh tonnes during 2012-13. By September the output should exceed the level of 1.8 lakh tonnes. The target is higher in the first six months as the latter part of the fiscal will witness several holidays on account of festivals.

An exclusive industrial park at Pudukudi that the BHELSIA is in the process of establishing will also contribute a sizeable share of the production target, Mr.Rajappa Rajkumar said.

Procurement of land was now underway and 18 units are to be established in the 100 acre industrial park. Ten acres will be a common facility area, the BHELSIA president said, adding that the SBI has come forward to fund 90 per cent of the project cost.

The units in the industrial park will adopt the away centre model of outsourcing business whereby they would procure raw materials by themselves and deliver pressure-part components for ultra super critical boilers to BHEL, Tiruchi.

Aspiring to put the state on higher growth orbit, Tamil Nadu government has proposed to introduce new set of policies and reforms to accelerate the pace of industrialisation. The work on formulating five policies would be announced "shortly," a policy note for 2012-13 tabled in the state Assembly said.

According to a policy note tabled in the state Assembly, TIDCO was planning multi product SEZs at Tiruvallur, Perambalur and Krishnagiri districts. A 3,000-acre land has been ear-marked in Perambalur district for which the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industries has already accorded its approval, while 280-acre land has been identified in Krishnagiri district.

"As per the directions of the government, TIDCO is also taking steps for implementing Aerospace Park, Bio Technology Core Instrumentation Facility, Expansion of Chennai Trade Centre, Integrated Food Irradiation Centre and Integrated Financial Service Centre," it said.

Steps were being taken to develop an Integrated Financial Services Centre near here to attract both the domestic and overseas financial institutions to promote industrial development in the state, it said.

The Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, B.Prasada Rao, reviewed the ongoing projects at the public sector major's Tiruchi unit on Thursday.

Mr.Rao also inaugurated a high productive CNC Horizontal Boring Machine used for production of high pressure valves as part of Phase –III capacity augmentation scheme at Valves Shop of the BHEL here, according to a BHEL press release. He also chaired a meeting with the senior executives to review the ongoing projects, operational issues and improvements made in reducing the cycle time for subcritical and once-through supercritical boilers.

Emphasising the importance of supplying boiler components on time for various on going power projects, Mr.Rao urged officials of the Tiruchi unit to assimilate and master supercritical boiler technology, which would be the mainstay of future.

He also called upon the officials to give a thrust to develop and support more vendors as the Tiruchi unit has been set a turnover target of Rs.17,250 crore turnover with an output of 7,17,464 tonnes of boiler components. It was also imperative to bring down cost through better productivity, he said.

Accompanied by O.P.Bhutani, Director, Engineering Research and Development, BHEL and A.V.Krishnan, Executive Director, BHEL, Tiruchi, Mr.Rao went around the facilities to review the operations of the unit, the release said.

With the market witnessing a fierce competition and performance becoming a key factor today, vendors should take note of these crucial aspects and deliver to the expectations of the customers, said A.V. Krishnan, Executive Director, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tiruchi, said on Saturday.

Vendors should support the BHEL in retaining its image in timely project execution, quality and delivery performance, Mr. Krishnan said delivering the keynote address at the Business Partners' Meet 2012 organised by the BHEL here.

Stating that the BHEL had declared 2012-13 as the year of performance, he said the organisation had enhanced its internal process to ensure project execution on time and improve delivery to satisfy the customers.

Utmost priority had been accorded to quality of products to meet the expectations of the customers, he added.

With customers becoming choosy looking at the performance of the companies in the wake of fierce competition, vendors should deliver to the expectations of the BHEL and its customers, he said. Quality, safety, technology and productivity should all be leveraged to improve performance and match the requirements of the customers.

The biggest challenge was to convince the customers who were looking at milestone completion, Mr. Krishnan said.

The BHEL would bring in a system of performance based incentives whereby vendors performing excellently would get faster payments.

The BHEL had introduced a lot of initiatives in outsourcing in the last two to three years, he said adding that the organisation had identified some more products for outsourcing. With independent power producers investing more in power plants, the BHEL was getting more orders from them.

Rajappa Rajkumar, president, BHEL Small Industries Association, said the BHELSIA Industrial Park in around 100 acres near Pudukudy would be established in a span of three to six months.

Repeated speech about Puthukudi Industrial park, but no sign of implementation.. wait for another one year, Rajappa Rajkumar will quote the same sentences again

I think BHELSIA lacks fund and heavily depended on CG for this project.They could very well collaborate with GK industrial park and leverage the facilities available in the park.

BHEL's Welding Research Institute (WRI) here has joined hands with Mumbai-based Hindustan Construction Co Ltd. (HCC) for building India's longest railway bridge over the Brahmaputra that would enhance connectivity between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

Earlier this month, the Memorandum of Understanding documents were exchanged between S. Suresh, General Manager, WRI, and Kishore, Head, Transport Sector, HCC.
‘Nation building'

Describing the synergy between the two organisations as a facet of nation-building, the Executive Director of BHEL Tiruchi A.V. Krishnan said the MoU that entails providing welding consultancy, procedure development, inspection and distortion control, training of welding engineers, supervisors and welders as per European standards, will pave the way for the speedy completion of the bogey wheel project over the Brahmaputra with the latest welding techniques.
Strategic importance

The country's longest rail-cum-road bridge estimated for completion by the end of year 2015 at a cost of Rs. 3,230 crore would be of strategic importance, reducing the time taken for travelling between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

The connectivity will also give a thrust to regional tourism, trade and commerce, according to Mr. Krishnan.
