Mr. Vikas Bajaj, President, AIFI (Association of Indian Forging Industry) said, “After
the second wave, the industry is still facing challenges. The Indian Forging Industry is
currently going through a difficult phase. The sector is always confronted with new
challenges. The industry is largely concerned about the lack of semiconductor chips,
which has also had an impact on exports. In addition, the increase in steel prices
has harmed the Indian forging industry. It is the most important requirement in
the forging sector and the current price increase has disrupted the supply chain.
The advent of “Electric Vehicles” will also have a direct impact on the forging
sector, as it will reduce demand for moveable parts used in vehicles, resulting
in significant unutilized forging capacity. However, the industry continues to
support our government’s green initiatives. Furthermore, we are optimistic about
2022, anticipating that the semiconductor shortage would be resolved by the
second or third quarter of 2022. On the new Omicron variant, I believe it will be
existing, and such variants will continue to emerge; we will have to live with it and
seek to keep our employees safe by adhering to all health and safety regulations.”

Mr. Farrokh Cooper, Chairman & Managing Director, Cooper Corporation said “The
manufacturing industry is currently struggling with a difficult environment. The global
economic impact of the COVID 19 pandemic has been significant. The COVID-19
crisis has affected all sectors, with varying degrees of severity. However, I am
confident that India’s growth story is strong, but it is hampered by the current
Covid scenario. The pandemic has a substantial impact on current infrastructure;
additionally, there are supply and logistical constraints. Businesses are also
experiencing several challenges, such as a shortage of semiconductor chips and
other critical components required by manufacturers. In addition, I anticipate
that 2022 will be a challenging and unprecedented year for the manufacturing
industry. We will, however, must face this collectively. Corona variants will come
and go. We will have to fight them to survive and succeed. I strongly feel that
everyone should be vaccinated and adhere to all health and safety regulations in the
manufacturing industry, as I have always believed that “Human life is invaluable, and
hence - Safety First, Quality Production Must.”








Mr. Anurag Garg, Managing Director & Country Head, Vitesco Technologies, India said “We are
heading towards electrification transformation. Government initiatives, rising awareness, and entry of
global EV OEMs has created a new demand among people. More people are opening to adoption of EVs.
While the infrastructure catches up with the increasing demand, 48V systems are a cost-effective and
powerful alternative, and can aid the electrification transformation.


Entry of EV OEMs in India
Realizing the opportunity that India presents, many startups and global EV OEMs have entered the
market. This not only furthers technological advancements in the sector, but also helps
in raising more awareness about EVs among the general population, and vehicle
enthusiasts. Electrification has opened doors for many advanced technologies. The
global OEMs entering the Indian market would give Indians an opportunity to explore
next-generation vehicles without paying luxury taxes, creating more demand
among HNIs etc.

Sustainability
I mean even our organization has all its forces combined and put in
action, SUSTAINABILITY IS AT THE CORE OF OUR MISSION. WE TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY – ECONOMICALLY, ECOLOGICALLY, SOCIALLY. Just to give
you a brief, Sustainability is an integral part of Vitesco Technologies’ business
model. With innovative and efficient solutions, we aim to reduce the environmental
impacts of the automotive industry worldwide and promote emission-free mobility in
the long term. Our leadership is fully committed to actively manage the transformation of
our portfolio into the electrified future, aiming for profitable growth and continue delivering on
operational excellence. Beyond our products, we actively drive sustainability in all business activities along
the value chain. Our DIRECTION 2030 reflects this ambition in the claim “Driver of Sustainability”, which is
one of our five strategic focus areas. A defined environmental, social and governance concept will lead us
on our path.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY AGENDA defines Through clearly defined topics, targets and KPIs, we will

drive sustainability along the value chain. Our strategic approach reflects Vitesco Technologies’ business model
and values, our commitment to rules, policies and international frameworks, legal requirements, as well as
expectations from customers and future investors.

Government Schemes:
The most critical move announced in the Union Budget 2021-22 was the long-awaited vehicle scrappage policy.
The policy, which allows people to get rid of vehicles older than 20 years, also offers a few incentives to do
so. This includes a 5% rebate on new vehicle purchases, and discounts and waivers on road taxes and vehicle
registration fees. The scrappage policy will be instrumental in encouraging demand and will also help consumers
move towards cleaner and more sustainable vehicles.
While we await the details of the entire vehicle scrappage policy, which will be implemented later this year,
there are other announcements that have an immediate impact on the demand of EVs”.





Mr. Ashwath Ram, Managing Director, Cummins India Limited said “2021 started positively with signs of
visible business growth trends after Wave 1 of the Covid 19 pandemic. Wave 2 from April to June caused
massive devastation resulting in constrained economic activity and severe loss of lives. The second half of
the year came in as a ray of hope with the gradual recovery and stabilization of the business environment.
Cummins is well-positioned for growth as economic activity gains momentum, and we continue to witness
strong demand for our products and services. This rising demand is encouraging; however, significant
constraints in the global supply chain continue to pose challenges for our business and our customers.
These constraints have resulted in rising material costs, high logistics expenses, and other manufacturing
inefficiencies. We met these challenges successfully driven by the agility of our employees, great product
launches, the faith of our customers, and the support extended by our suppliers. As we march into 2022, our
priority continues to be the safety and well-being of our people, powering our customers and communities,
focusing on improving margins, and ensuring our company’s continuity in the future.
From an industry perspective, 2021 has been a challenging year. The uncertain turn of events due to Wave
2 of the pandemic resulted in significant disruptions in the global supply chain, leading to an extended period
of shutdowns, material and labor shortages, and higher costs beyond forecasted expectations.
With economic revival happening gradually and strong support from the Government of
India for driving manufacturing growth through initiatives such as: Make in India and
Atmanirbhar Bharat, PLI scheme, increase in FDI, push for developing industrial
corridors and smart cities, we are hopeful that 2022 will witness a strong revival
and upward trend in business performance.
For Cummins India, 2021 was a year of agile strength and consolidation.
While 2020 taught us all to be resilient, 2021 was a further step up in navigating
through disruptions and ambiguity and demonstrating agile strength. We learned
that the best thing to do to respond to a crisis even when the path ahead does
not appear very clearly is to continue moving with purpose and determination.
It also made us realize that the shift in working is not transient but here to stay.
“Flexibility” at work can be individualized for each person and their needs while also
meeting the needs of our business to achieve successful outcomes.
As 2021 comes to an end, we continue to work safely and effectively through
this challenging period with strength and cautious optimism. Our focus is on meeting our
commitments to customers who provide products and services critical for the functioning of the Indian and
global economy. We are quite hopeful of sustained improvement and economic recovery across industries and
segments from an outlook perspective. However, with the rising Omicron Variant cases, the threat of future
waves, and forecasted supply chain disruptions, it is difficult to give a steady or stable outlook for 2022”.

HIGH-END MULTI-PRESENCE




ack in the early 2000s, the introduction of ISCAR’s MULTI-
MASTER system of rotating tools with interchangeable
Bcarbide heads played a significant role in the development
of cutting tools. Tool assemblies with exchangeable heads were
known long before ISCAR’s MULTI-MASTER. This was a product
that changed the traditional view of the design concept of such
systems.
Within the MULTI-MASTER product line, heads are secured
by using a thread connection. Cemented carbide is a very hard
and wear-resistant material and has lower impact strength when
compared to high-speed steel. In a threaded carbide part, the
thread is a source of stress concentrators that is crucial for tool
functioning, especially under cyclic loading. Rotating tools with
exchangeable carbide heads are reasonable in a relatively small
diameter range, typically 6-25 mm (.25”-1.00”), which limits
appropriate thread diameters and the height of a thread profile.
The above points make it problematic to use standard threads
and strongly determine a special thread shape to comply with the Fig. 2 – A 100°countersink head is commonly used in
specifications of the connection. Therefore, a thread connection as manufacturing aircraft parts.

replacement. It has been frequently asked what the secrets are Another unique aspect of the MULTI-MASTER is its very wide
variety of heads that cover a broad-spectrum of applications
in milling, hole making, engraving, and gearing. In milling
operations, these cover square shoulders, faces, 3D surfaces,
chamfers, cavities and pockets, slots and grooves, threads, and
machining by high-speed- and high-feed milling methods. And in
Holemaking operations, center & spot drilling, countersinking, etc.
Combining two types of heads is a beneficial combination of
two design approaches: fully ground heads from solid blanks and
heads from pre-shaped sintered inserts. Together with a wide
choice of shanks, adaptors, and reducers significantly simplifies
the process of finding the best tool configuration for a variety
of metal cutting operations. Apart from that, the line and its
products are ideal for tailor-made products, which makes tool
customization much easier. All of this turns the robust MULTI-
MASTER line into a powerful tool for improving productivity and
cutting production costs while ensuring longstanding customer

industrial sectors, such as aerospace that need such tools.
Assemblies with exchangeable heads provide a much more
cost-efficient solution and ISCAR is enthusiastic about its
prospects of new developments. It’s important to note that among
ISCAR’s introduced products, there are 5-flute endmill heads
with variable helix that were designed specifically for machining
difficult-to-cut titanium alloys and high temperature materials
(ISO S group of application). The heads have a corner radius of 4
and 5 mm (.120”, .250”, .375”), which are typical for aircraft part
production. In the aerospace industry, the line was enhanced with
6-flute endmill heads in diameters of 8-25 mm (.315”-1.00”) for
machining titanium, including hard-to-cut β- and near β-alloys
especially by the trochoidal milling method. The heads feature
a combination of different helix and variable angular pitch to
improve chatter stability.
