India’s Cheapest SUV - The Premier Rio
By Rehan Conyers

If you are looking for a car that is big but priced as much as a small car then let me introduce you to the PREMIER RIO. Yes, that’s right, Premier, this company is back in the car market ever since it’s Premier Padmini back in the 1990’s. And this time Premier promises big car for small price, infact, to be a little more specific it’s a mini SUV. Don’t get too excited, read on.

Walking past the Rio without looking at it is absolutely impossible, it is extremely eye-catching specially in the colour brick red and will definitely get one’s attention. Despite it’s square like dimensions this SUV manages to convince it’s buyer within no time, looking at the Rio from any angle will tell you that at this price, you can get something really handsome, it also conceals itself with dual tone colours which I liked(no body coloured bumpers). The huge wheel arches give the SUV a muscular look, it stands mighty on massive 205/70 R15 tyres aided by rugged Macpherson struts up front and a five-link set-up at the rear.

The Rio is planted with a 1.5 litre turbo-charged diesel motor churning out 65bhp and 14kgm of torque, snug proportions of the Rio will make it an ideal vehicle for the narrowest, most congested lanes of the city, piloting this SUV through traffic with power steering should be a finger-tip job, married to the 1489cc motor is a five-speed transmission. Though the thing that impressed me is the tail-mounted spare wheel which makes it quite different from anything else in the market. Doors shut with an impressive sound quality which ensures solid build quality and promising safety.

Getting into the Rio can be defined as climbing into and not bending. It’s interiors are quite decent, not flashy but quite boring to look at, texture of the plastic feels cheap and not up-to the mark. The seats are well bolstered and offer good thigh support, there are certain areas in the Rio where the finish of plastic isn’t good, as you can see a few gaps here and there. The Rio’s floor on the inside is high and makes tall people’s knees reach the window, though, knee room is reasonably good, head room could be a problem for six-footers, up-front the dashboard design is simple and there is nothing too impressive, the grey panel integrated into the centre console is oddly fitted and leaves this to be a major eye sore inside the cabin, the steering felt good to hold and looks cute as well.

The instument cluster is very ordinary and didn’t really catch my eye, although, gearshifting should be a boon since the gear lever is placed nice and high, the pedals below can be operated with ease even in case of a short person as the driver, high seating position up-front allows you to have a commanding hawk-eye view of the road, buttons on the dashboard are just fine after all, this is Chinese quality. It’s interiors are compact, cozy and can seat upto five passengers which sums up to a small car’s cabin capacity, isn’t that amazing? A cute, compact and capable little SUV for premium hatchback money and a vehicle that you can actually take off-roading on a weekend with your family. All of this at an attractive pice tag of 5-6 lakh rupees.

Biogas in India - Current Status and Future Possibilities
By Renga Nathan

Biogas is primarily methane that is generated from an anaerobic digestion of organic wastes by microorganisms. It is a relatively simple and economical method to produce a fuel from waste.

While technically biogas can be produced from any type of organic material, most times, biogas is produced from organic waste. This waste could comprise agricultural and crop waste, human waste and animal waste (cow dung for instance). With a calorific value of about 5000 KCal / m3, biogas is an excellent fuel for heating purposes as well as for generating electricity.

It is estimated that India can produce power of about 17,000 MW using biogas. This is over 10% of the total electricity installed capacity in India.

The advantages of biogas-based energy generation are as follows:

1. It is based on renewable sources

2. It can provide distributed energy generation, thereby providing much-needed energy for remote locations and villages.

3. In many cases, it provides a beneficial way of disposing organic waste

Biogas in households and communities

Biogas production has been quite dominant in India at household and community levels (especially in rural areas) than on large scales. In villages especially, thousands of small biogas plants use the cattle waste (especially cow dung) and provide biogas used for home heating and cooking. It is estimated that over 2 million such biogas plants have been installed all over India.

Such use of biogas systems in agrarian communities can increase agricultural productivity. This is because producing heat using biogas is more efficient than producing it using combustion, and hence more agricultural and animal waste can be returned to the land by farmers as organic fertilizer. Moreover, the slurry that is returned after methanogenesis is superior in terms of its nutrient content and can be used as a soil conditioner and plant nutrient (fertilizer).

Biogas for electricity production

The use of biogas for electricity generation in India is more recent, but this trend is accelerating. In many cities across India, sewage treatment centers and organic waste treatment plants (those treating organic municipal solid waste, for instance) already use anaerobic digesters to generate biogas and electricity. Some of the industries that generate significant amounts of solid or liquid organic waste also have installed digesters and gas engines for electricity production. Many of these require sizable investments, but it is estimated that they have a good return on investment as the main feedstock that they use is essentially free.

Biogas in the Indian industry

Use of digesters at industrial complexes (to treat the waste generated at the factory) is also increasing. For the factories and businesses concerned, this is an excellent avenue to dispose of waste in a cost effective manner while at the same time generate heat and/or electricity. Industries that have an especially high potential for using anaerobic digestion include cattle and poultry industry, sugar, breweries, pulp and paper, leather, and the fruits & vegetables industry. As pointed out earlier, some of these industries are already producing electricity from biogas, and this trend is likely to grow further in future.

Many Indian industries, in their quest for becoming more environment conscious, are turning to biogas one of their energy sources. In Sep 2009, for instance, PepsiCo India, a division of PepsiCo installed a biogas plant at its Pune-based Frito-Lay manufacturing unit. It’s the first plant within Frito-Lay’s global operations to use biogas. Companies such as Sintex Industries have introduced novel biogas digesters for the small users of this renewable energy resource.

Future prospects for biogas in India

With the Indian government keen on utilizing renewable resources for energy production, it is likely that there will be a greater thrust and higher incentives for concepts such as biogas production from waste. An increasing awareness among the public regarding sustainable use of resources will only enhance the production and use of biogas. It can hence be expected that biogas will have a significant growth in India at all levels of usage (household, municipality and industry) for both heat generation and electricity production.

It is also possible to earn carbon credits for biogas-based power or heat generation in India. For instance, in Apr 2008, Andhyodaya, a non-government agency working in the field of promoting water management and non-conventional energy and social development distributed the first installment of the biogas carbon credit to farmers in the state of Kerala. Andhyodaya had helped construct 15,000 biogas plants in the state and earned carbon credits. This trend is likely to grow further.

Both the central and the state governments in India have recognized the significance of biomass-based energy in the context of development of the rural population. It is also heartening to note that steps are already being taken in this regard. For instance, in Feb 2010, the Haryana Government has formulated a Rs. 85 crore project for setting up 50,000 family size biogas plants to harness the potential of generating biogas for cooking and (remnants as) organic manure in the fields.

More such investments and efforts are on the horizon.

In sum, India has significant potential for generating heat and electricity from waste in the form of biogas. While only a portion of the potential has been tapped, it is likely that more investments in this direction could accelerate exploitation of this source in future.

India Revolutionised - An impetus to the machine tool exporters in India by SLee

Have you ever spared a thought over how the flour that you use to bake cakes and the papers that you work with are made? Another very interesting question that your kid may hit you with is that how things are given shapes easily in the industry!
Well, while answering these, you may need to span back to eighteenth century which witnessed the Industrial Revolution in Europe with the advent of machineries that changed people’s way of life. With the advent of machines and mechanical tools the methods of manufacturing also witnessed a big twist. Prior to industrial revolution people spent long hours in the process of manufacturing through manual labour and animals. Industrial revolution came gradually with the invention of John Kay’s flying shuttle in 1733 and James Hargreaves spinning jenny 31 years later. The Indian economy was mostly dependent on the craftsmen and the weavers and there were a very few small-scale industries to cater to the Indian economy. The revolution which originally had its roots in Europe, spread out to India which led to development of machine tools manufacturers in India. Gradual development in the economic infrastructure in India has also led many machine tools exporters to crop across the country.
The word ‘machine’ has been derived from the Latin word “machina”. A machine is any device that uses energy to perform some activity. Thus it is a device having parts that assists in performing any type of work. Machineries reduce the work load that was previously present due to manual labour. Machines are ubiquitous in a wide variety of industrial, commercial, residential and transportation applications. Present day application of industrial machineries ranges from shearing machines, press brake bending machines, rolling and shaping machines, plan-o-miller machines, hydraulic hackshaw , heavy Duty geared slotting machines, metal cutting horizontal , fully automatic double column horizontal bandsaw, different kinds of lathe machines, H.Ps drills etc. So very well you can imagine that the range of machines developed has become quite beneficial for the machine tools exporters in India as they will have surplus left after meeting the needs of the local market. Also the machine tools manufacturers based in India will have increased production facilities which would in turn help in employment generation.

The example of Ergon as one of the leading machine tools exporters of India comes in mind. This organization has built up a good reputation in the international market by providing machine tools, industrial machines, engineering hardware and consumables at reasonable prices.

BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL MACHINERIES
In large industries, manufacturing process has become much faster owing to better techniques of production which has also increased the efficiency. The result is increased production for the machine tools manufacturers of India. Per unit production has also increased when compared to the work done by manual labour. The peak of industrial revolution has opened new doors for new machines and equipments to be designed and developed by individuals that can be used for specific applications. The most common uses of machines in the industry are for materials handling and processing. Moreover various machineries are designed for the packaging and storage of finished products as well. The machine tools exporters in India also cater to the wide range of needs of various other countries that faces a shortage in the supply of industrial machineries. This has proved to be quite beneficial for the machine tools exporters. With so much reliance on industrial equipments and machineries, the professionals required mainly for troubleshooting, maintenance and repair has also increased to a large extent.
The world today has revolutionized into an industrialized world and undeniably machines have made life easier not only in large industries but even in small household applications. There are indeed a lot of benefits that these machines bring to men.

Steven Lee is a freelance writer. His area of interest is industrial machinery and tools. Having grown up in the industrial belt of India, Lee has grow a special interest for machine tools exporters India . He has developed good kinship with some renowned machine tools manufacturers India, who are the major sources for good deal of information about machines and machine tools.
