Synopsis
In the past decade, manufacturers in Eastern Europe, China, and Southeast Asia have established reputations for quality, reliability, and cost efficiency. But manufacturing-led, export-driven growth bypassed India...until now. Whereas Indian manufacturing has generally been associated with belching machines, clanking equipment, flooded mud roads, and unreliable power supplies, a few companies are emerging as contenders for domination of global markets after securing large chunks of the domestic market. One such company--Bharat Forge--has transformed itself from a basic manufacturer for domestic consumption into the second-largest forgings company in the world, with sales of more than $1 billion in 2007. This chapter provides an overview of the company and its quest to become the leader in the hypercompetitive, highly volatile market of parts manufacturing for global automotive manufacturers. This chapter is excerpted from "India's Global Powerhouses: How They Are Taking on the World."
