Defining Moments
Reference to BIFR in 1989
The company brought in Rockwell's state-of-the-art manufactureing technology to India way ahead of its time expecting it would be able to penetrate a market segment in which CV manufacturers were making their own axles. Due to unforeseen delays caused due to various factors, it took us several years to achieve this objective. We had therefore to be content with the business of contract manufacturing in which we could barely recover variable costs resulting in the accumulation of significant losses with interest and depreciation burden contributing to the erosion of over 50% of the company's net worth which led to its reference to BIFR.
