Power Generation

Apart from theft , the power generation has also been at the lower end with estimates suggest almost 12% lesser supply than the demand in India. These figures ably explain as to why much of India remains without electricity. It must be highlighted here that only 44% of rural households have access to power and the national average is 56%. On another front, with India having to import nearly 70% of the total oil consumption, it’s choices have been limited. Lack of thrust then on a pile of 240 billion tonnes of estimated coal reserves then defies logic.

Important Factor

“It is too early to comment, but I think it is one more medium to touch base with the consumers. But, placement is an important factor,” says Priti. Flytech seems to have thought that out already. As per the masterplan, hoardings will be placed in areas where the traffic is sluggish and jams are a common phenomenon in the peak hours. On a lighter note, at least those excruciating traffic jams will be a little less painful with these!

TV Programme

And more so, if you were only to know that she started her career in 1979, working as a rookie anchor in a TV programme of Japan Broadcasting Corporation called Kaigai Weekly (taking almost thirteen years to become the main newscaster for another World Business Satellite program in TV Tokyo). But entrepreneurship is what Tomoyo has become an incarnate of in Japan, and even across the globe, especially given the most hitting fact that she is the first woman, in a highly male dominated social- order, to lead the massive Japanese Group, streamlining Sanyo’s business offerings & rebuilding its global image.

Increasing Real Incomes

New opportunities will help increasing real incomes which will in turn increase aspirations for cars. The vicious cycle created by this belt will help in selling its own produce to its own dependents – a classic example of self contained economic sustainability. Says Baig, “employment in an industrial belt leads to development of secondary infrastructure such as housing and shelter, thereby, improving standards.” This is similar to the economic sufficiency of the Tarai region, also standing as a testament of the changing nature of India’s economic achievements. India’s auto belt is surely doing it’s bit in helping the nation break the shackles of an agrarian economy and replace it with a modern hub that this region is becoming.

Newspaper Readers In The Capital

Purie added that though the newspaper would be initially launched in Delhi, more editions in other cities cannot be ruled out later.

So will it take the shape of that new paper that Purie was talking about? No one knows yet. But given the group’s formidable reputation in the media business (print as well as television), it will certainly be something to look forward to.

NOKIA LEADERSHIP

With all players fighting on a different differentiability factor, the sector is no longer dominated by a single player and suddenly Nokia finds itself in a spot of bother surrounded by aggressive competition. But will this competitive scenario finally dethrone the Finnish giant? Explains Sridhar T. Pai, a leading telecom analyst & CEO, Tonse Telecom, “The combined might of Motorola, Samsung & LG can certainly cause a dent in the Nokia leadership, but do not underestimate Nokia. They have gone far beyond feature phones and are focusing on the one thing that matters – the consumer.”
