Words from Industry Experts

Dr Baldev Raj, Chairman - CII CMC & President Research, PSG Institutions
We keep struggling to increase our GDP by a few decimal points, but it can be
shocking to know that 3% of our GDP goes out in corrosion every year, said Dr Baldev
Raj, If you include the indirect cost of corrosion, in the form of loss of functioning of
the plants, accidents, material discarded prematurely, and the various human
liabilities, it is easily 6% of our GDP, he said, at the inaugural session of the 1st
edition of Surface & Coating Expo 2014 and Pumps, Valves & Compressors 2014
organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). To challenge corrosion, experts from different
fields have to come together. We must do more of cutting-edge research, and also create wider awareness
through publications and conferences. The industry and the academia should collaborate and create a body
of knowledge for the purpose, Dr Raj said.

Mr P. Kaniappan, Whole-time Director, WABCO India Ltd

The special address by Mr P. Kaniappan, was on the user perspective, with

emphasis on safety, health, and environment. The industry should understand
TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). Our goal should be Zero BAD, that is, no
breakdown, accident, or defect, and a delightful workplace. We also need
equipment with self-diagnostic capability and online monitoring controls for the
critical parts of the system, he suggested.

Mr Ravi Sam, Chairman, CII TN State Council & MD, Adwaith Textiles Ltd

Mr Ravi Sam, observed that India is emerging as a major manufacturing hub for
various industrial products, owing to the availability of large qualified workforce,
massive emerging markets, and low cost of production. The market for pumps and
valves is expected to grow at 14-17% CAGR over the next five years. While Indian
industry has been experiencing a slowdown, the valve industry in the country has
been growing exponentially at over 20% in the last decade with growth in exports
being even higher at 100% in the last three years, he added.

Words from Industry Experts

Mr N. K. Ranganath, Past Chairman - CII SR, Chairman and MD, Grundfos Pumps India Pvt Ltd

Delivering the theme address on pumps, Mr N. K. Ranganath, said that water,

power, and consequently food will be major issues for the world. Pumps use 10% of
the world's energy; and it is possible to achieve a 40% saving in the energy used by
the pumps, and thus reduce the global energy consumption by 4%, he noted.

Dr U. Kamachi Mudali, Chairman, CII Faraday Committee, Associate Director, IGCAR

The address by Dr U. Kamachi Mudali, was about the importance of materials with a
good finish and value-added coating, for enhanced performance. Citing from
history the many examples of Indian expertise in materials technology, such as the
Iron Pillar and the Chozha bronzes, he shared with the audience an engineering
marvel that an Indian company developed on coating, which would work for 40
years in liquid sodium, at 550 degrees in a highly radioactive environment. This is
the time to devote attention to the development of human resources, Dr Mudali said.

Mr N. V. Venkatasubramanian, Chief Executive, L&T Valves Ltd

The theme address on valves by Mr N. V. Venkatasubramanian, highlighted that
40% of the Indian valve industry's production is exported. The global demand for
valves is $60 billion, whereas our exports are only $800 million. With more than a
thousand valve manufacturers in the country, there is an immense opportunity for
growth to cater to the market, he underlined. Though we have the technology and
expertise in the country, it is essential to pay attention to the supply chain,
reminded Mr Venkatasubramanian. Foundries are doing well in the country. We have to work with them to
improve their efficiency. However, the forging industry is not well developed. What is needed is to work
together and deliver to the global market on quality, he informed.
