NEW DELHI: Consumer electronics major LG plans to make India its key R&D centre for the global markets. The South Korean major will not only introduce a new product platform in 2012, but also increase its manufacturing competitiveness from India. LG India managing director Moon B Shin talks about how Indian manufacturing facilities would become the export hub for LG, servicing the South East Asian, Middle East and African markets.

Will this put pressure on your manufacturing units?

For manufacturing, the option is to put more lines at our second factory in Pune. But from the logistics view, delivery will take a longer time. We’re looking at Hyderabad or Chennai for our third location. As market grows, manufacturing cost will improve and export market will see Indian-made product fighting with Chinese-made products.

Cadbury to make Tang in India

The integration process of Cadbury and Kraft in synergising distribution channels is on

NEW DELHI: Cadbury India on Thursday said it would start manufacturing of parent Kraft Foods' orange drink Tang, while it would also embark on a capacity expansion for its confectionery products.

“We will start local manufacturing of Tang in India. We are rejuvenating it and we will start producing it within this fiscal,” Cadbury India Managing Director Anand Kripalu told reporters here on the sidelines of an event.

He said Tang, which had been imported from Thailand to serve the Indian market so far, would be produced at the Kraft's Hyderabad plant.

“It is a legacy plant of Kraft in Hyderabad, which has not been utilised. We will start manufacturing there,” he said.

Cadbury India came under the Kraft Foods fold after the U.S.-based firm acquired British candy maker Cadbury for $19.6 billion in January.

Asked if Cadbury India would be selling more products from the Kraft portfolio, Mr. Kripalu said: “As of now we are still focussing on our core confectionery business.”

He, however, said the integration process was still going on in terms of synergising distribution channels of Cadbury and Kraft in India.

Commenting on the overall plans of Cadbury India, he said: “Capacity is a challenge for us, as we look to drive up volumes. We need to expand it and we will be doing it significantly.”

Fapcci seeks support for micro, small units

Hyderabad, Dec.6

The Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Fapcci) has sought the Andhra Pradesh Government and Chief Minister, Mr N.Kiran Kuma Reddy's support to improve the industrial climate, urging them to lay special thrust on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

A delegation comprising the Fapcci President, Mr Shekhar Agarwal, past president, Mr Om Prakash Tibrewala, and others met the Chief Minister on behalf of the Federation on Monday.

The discussion centred around the present industrial scenario in the State with special emphasis on problems faced by the MSMEs.

The delegation maintained that if the Government extends support to MSEMEs, industry and trade will prosper and pave way for economic development and thereby provide increased employment opportunities.

Follow-up suggested

According to Fapcci, the Chief Minister assured the delegation of Government support and suggested a follow-up meeting with the Federation and industry representatives.

The State's economy being predominantly agrarian in nature, the Federation mentioned that there is scope for development of agri-based industries.

It expressed the need to focus on establishing three-four small units in each mandal, which will encourage local farm producers to work with these industries.

According to the Federation, in spite of favourable conditions, the progress on industrial front of late is not encouraging.

Infrastructure

They felt that the infrastructure available is not conducive for the development of industries.

They also maintained that the flow of financial assistance to SMEs is inadequate. For the industrial users, power supply has been a major cause for concern last year.

They wanted the Government to ensure 24x7 power supply.

The Federation also cited the single-window clearance system aimed at accelerating industrial development. But in practice there are stumbling blocks in the functioning of the clearance system.

Valavan said the company officials are likely to come out with a detailed project report on mobile manufacturing units by the end of this month.
"The company officials have visited both places and expressed satisfaction. For the solar cell project, they wanted 30 to 35 acres and for mobile manufacturing unit they are yet to make a request. The investment for solar unit will be more than Rs 1,500 crore," Valavan said.

According to reports, Micromax currently has been selling 1 million units per month through its retailer network and plans to double this figure in the next six months.
At present, the company imports handsets from Taiwan, South Korea and China. The company produces fixed wireless telephone equipment from its plant in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh.

So finally we have something to kick of the Electronics SEZ with an investment in the TELECOM MANUFACTURING SECTOR

Foundation laid for aerospace units
15 Feb 2011 04:23:34 AM IST

HYDERABAD: The Aerospace and Precision Engineering SEZ at Adibatla on the outskirts of the city is expected to create employment for over 10,000 people, according to chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy.

Laying the foundation stone for three facilities being set up by the Tata group in a joint venture with global aircraft and defence majors here today, Reddy said, “Hyderabad is the best destination for investments in the aerospace and defence sectors. The state has three international airports offering better connectivity.

Besides, there are numerous infrastructure-related advantages and availability of manpower.”

He said the government was developing Chittoor and Anantapur, adjoining Chennai and Bangalore respectively, as industrial hubs.

“We have a long sea coast and are working on strategies to increase trade from the seaports in the state.”

Stating that Andhra Pradesh was the only state having an Aerospace SEZ in the country, minister for major industries, commerce and export promotion J Geeta Reddy said the facility was likely to directly employ over 3,000 in the next few years.

“There are over 150 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the city that are into various critical aerospace and defence-related component manufacturing.

Tata’s tie-up with three global firms today will boost production in the aerospace SEZ here,” she said.

Meanwhile, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL), part of the Tata group, said that it would invest about `550 crore to set up three facilities to manufacture aircraft structures, defence equipment and components for helicopters.

The three projects _ Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructure, a joint venture between Tata Advanced Systems and Lockheed Martin; Tata Aerospace Systems, a JV between Tata Advanced Systems and Sikorsky Aircraft; and Nova Integrated Systems, a Tata enterprise _ will become fully operational in three years.

S Ramadorai, chairman of TASL, said these projects would place Hyderabad on the global aerospace map and help it evolve into a global aerospace and defence hub.
