BUDGET 2017 – HERE IS WHAT THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IS EXPECTING

2016 was a rough year for the automobile industry; it has gone through a roller coaster ride with some government decisions like diesel ban, GST and demonetization hampering the overall industry growth projected for FY 2016-17. Auto industry contributes 7.1% to the country’s GDP and has been on an evolving note. It is the only industry that took the PM Modi’s Make in India project on its head and contributed the best.

 The industry is currently recouping and hence a lot of friendly announcements are expected in the Budget 2017 to further boost growth.

Relaxation on excise duty - The industry is expecting lowered as well as uniform excise duty structure. This will essentially reduce vehicle cost and boost sales.

Faster implementation of GST - The Industry will be expecting the implementation of GST, proposed to come into effect from July 1, 2017, without further delay.

Clarification on vehicle scrappage policy - The industry will be keeping its ear to the ground for announcements on incentives, timeline and fleet modernisation under the scrappage program.

More incentives for hybrid and electric vehicles – Along with the FAME India scheme, the industry still expects lower taxes and benefits for the segment to grow in the country.

Reduction in interest rates - Indian automobile industry will be expecting government to reduce interest rates on auto loans for passenger as well as commercial vehicles.

All of us are hoping for a favorable budget this year as last year despite all positive scenarios the industry felt short of its projection. This year if all of these announcements are made than there will be no stopping as the industry alone contributes a lot in terms of revenue, employment, Foreign Direct Investment. As the new and old vehicle market go hand in hand, we expect tremendous boost in the demand of pre-owned market altogether. Sameer Malhotra, CEO SAMIL

Used Vehicles’ Appeal on the Rise for Masses as well as Classes

One is often found contemplating hard when it comes to buying a vehicle for personal use or otherwise for the market is flooded with all kinds of varieties today. If we talk about the automobile industry, particularly the passenger cars and two wheeler vehicles, used vehicles were looked down upon almost a decade back. People had always related used vehicles as cheap and worthless investment as they were never expected to perform in the slightest.

Interestingly, the scenario has completely turned topsy-turvy with the current times witnessing greatly enhanced popularity for the used vehicles segment. Considering the latest reports surfacing, it may not be entirely incorrect to say that the growth of used vehicles market may now even be an alarming call to the firmly established new vehicles industry. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the used vehicles segment has to be its wide range of options available today at highly reasonable prices. This power of choice being catered to the masses at such competitive prices is what has attracted increasing number of individuals to consider going for a high-end used vehicle as opposed to a mid-level new one.

While this certainly comes to fulfilling that much deep-rooted aspiration for luxury in the general public given our brand-ruled environs today, the sort of quality and experience it offers along is a cherry on the cake for society’s middle-class section. In addition to the cost factor, there are several different problems being faced by the people today, biggest one of them being of parking your vehicle anywhere and everywhere at ease. This lack of space availability results in vehicles being stuffed together in a rather compact area, often leading to ugly scratches and dents in all vehicles. Thus, preference for used vehicles gets further enhanced.

Discussing about the vehicles segment, we almost unfailingly mention about the middle class alone and simply forget to associate the higher class people with it. This is not the case anymore for even the classes are considering used vehicles as their second or even third alternative vehicles either for menial jobs carried through their employees or merely as contingency vehicles. These changes in lifestyles, surroundings, thinking as well as the improved quality and prices of the used vehicles together contributes towards heightened appeal for pre-owned vehicles now.     

Either you belong to the middle class segment or the higher class, if you wish to purchase any pre-owned vehicles or construction equipments (if in business), you have reached just the right place. Your search ends here at Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) with its wide array of used vehicles there for its customers to freely review and then bid for the same in its professional auction events.

Used Motor Graders at Shriram Automall

Construction equipments act as backbone in case of huge construction projects. Proper use of construction equipments contributes to economy, quality, safety, speed and timely completion of a project. Almost 15-30% of total construction cost is accounted towards equipment and machinery. Construction equipments increase the rate of production and eliminate heavy manual work to ensure work is completed on time.

Using Construction Equipments have now become the most important part of construction projects and thus it is essential to have knowledge about different construction equipments commonly used in the industry.

MOTOR GRADER

Motor Graders, which are one of important equipments and used in maintenance and construction of roads are also referred as road grader, a blade, a maintainer or a grader. It is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process. A variety of attachments turn the motor grader into a more versatile machine, enabling the machine to do things such as dig shallow holes. Typical models have three axles, with the engine and cab situated above the rear axles at one end of the vehicle and a third axle at the front end of the vehicle, with the blade in between.

Uses

·         The grader is used for road maintenance in flattening surfaces before application of asphalt.

·         In civil engineering, motor grader's purpose is to "finish grade" (to refine or set precisely).

·         These machines are used for fine grading, spreading and earth moving along with their use for clearing debris and brush as well as snow removal.

·         Used for grading and finishing the upper surface of earthen formations and embankments usually operated in forward directions.

·         Certain graders can operate multiple attachments, or be used for separate tasks like underground mining.

·         Graders are also used to set native soil foundation pads to finish grade prior to the construction of large buildings. Graders can produce inclined surfaces, to give cant (camber) to roads.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           You may also Read : It's the constructive world of  Pre - Owned Construction Equipment Industry
