1. The document discusses theories of comminution, which is the process of reducing solid materials to smaller sizes.
2. The oldest theory from 1867 states that work input is directly proportional to the new surface area produced by crushing. However, measurements show the energy required is much greater than needed to create the new surface area.
3. A 1885 theory states work required is proportional to the reduction in volume of particles. Neither of these theories accurately predict results from commercial crushing and grinding.
4. The author developed a third theory in 1951 stating work input is proportional to something other than new surface area or volume reduction. However, the summary does not provide details on what the third theory states.

Mahindra Finance (Analysing the Historical Financial Statement)Sumit Kumar Singh
One of the interesting academic project while pursuing MMS/MBA was 'analysing the financial statement of Mahindra Finance. Me and my team members have enjoyed a lot while playing with numbers. We learn a lot like how to extract data from reliable sites, and importing the important data from Annual Statement then applying the financial formulas and interpreting the outcome. We can't say how much right we were but, at that time, we tried best of our knowledge.

While order awards have slowed, bidding activity is increasing, presenting opportunities for future growth.
This document provides information about the auto component cluster in Chennai, India. It discusses the national scenario of the Indian auto component industry and how Chennai emerged as a major cluster. The Chennai cluster was induced by the establishment of large automotive companies in the area like Ashok Leyland and TVS in the 1950s and 1960s. This attracted many ancillary units to cater to these companies' needs. Today, Chennai is considered the hub of India's automobile industry and is known as the "Detroit of India".
The Indian automotive industry is growing, led by two-wheelers. However, passenger vehicle sales declined in 2013-14. The industry is expected to fall short of its target turnover of $145 billion by $36 billion. Problems faced include economic slowdown, lack of R&D investment, and infrastructure issues. Solutions proposed are increasing customization, new technologies, quality standards, and investments from automakers. Commercial vehicles have suffered the most, with a 19.7% decline, due to low freight and underutilized fleets.
This document reviews India's Automotive Mission Plan 2006-2016. It aimed to make India a global automotive design and manufacturing hub with $145B in output and 25M additional jobs by 2016. While growth was strong from 2006-2011, the global slowdown from 2011-2014 resulted in lower growth across most vehicle segments except two-wheelers. The review analyzes performance versus targets for key segments like passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers and components. Interventions like tariff policies, infrastructure development and R&D support helped but targets were not fully achieved due to variations in assumptions and the economic slowdown.
The document discusses recent trends and strategies in India's auto components industry. Key points include:

This document provides an overview and analysis of the automobiles and auto components sector in India from CRISIL's perspective. Some of the key points summarized:
1) Strong growth is expected in passenger and commercial vehicles in the current fiscal year due to pent-up and replacement demand, while two-wheelers and tractors are expected to see more moderate growth.
2) Operating margins for auto component suppliers are expected to gradually recover to 12-13% over the next two fiscal years, supported by better operating leverage and export margins.
3) Credit quality for auto OEMs is expected to remain stable as operating margins recover from record lows last fiscal year, supported by price hikes, while
This document provides an overview of the Indian two-wheeler industry. It discusses trends in motorcycle sales by engine capacity and the outlook for different segments. The entry segment is dominated by Hero Motocorp but faces increased competition. The executive segment offers better profits and all manufacturers are focusing on it. The premium segment remains niche but more launches are planned, though volumes will likely remain small due to high prices of imported components.

NRB Bearings Ltd. - Company Valuation and Investment RecommendationAnkur Agarwal
The document recommends buying shares of NRB Bearings based on intrinsic and relative valuation. NRB is a leading manufacturer of bearings in India, with the #1 market share in needle roller bearings. The company is focusing on expanding exports and its industrial components business. Key risks include rising raw material costs and foreign exchange exposure. The bearings industry is growing due to increased automotive, infrastructure, and export demand. NRB has a diversified customer base and manufacturing footprint across India and Thailand.
The document summarizes the two-wheeler automobile sector in India. It notes that the sector has seen strong domestic volume growth of 11% CAGR over the past five years and export growth of 27% CAGR. Key factors driving future growth are rising incomes, fuel efficiency, changing consumer preferences, and the large untapped rural market. However, the recent withdrawal of export incentives like DEPB could impact prices and margins for exporters. Major players like Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto and TVS are increasingly focusing on exports to markets in Africa, Latin America and other regions to contribute to sales.
The document discusses trends in the Indian auto industry. It notes that commercial vehicle segments like light commercial vehicles saw positive growth, while medium and heavy commercial vehicles declined due to high bases of growth in the previous year. Passenger cars and utility vehicles grew by 12% and 11% respectively due to new model launches. Two-wheeler sales declined 4.9% due to economic slowdown and high interest rates. The auto components industry saw production growth of 12% but margins are expected to remain under pressure due to slowing auto demand. The budget provided some relief through reduced excise duties on certain vehicles.

In an environment where the northward movement of inflation, fuel prices and interest rates has been the nemesis of the Indian +91 22 3047 0027
automobile industry at large, the 2W industry has been the most resilient reflected in its healthy volume growth of 15.0% (YoY) in subrata@icraindia.com
