Tata Motors' [ Get Quote ] luxury automotive brand, Jaguar, bagged a three-year order to supply 13,000 units of its range to a Chinese company earlier this year. Its Land Rover [ Images ], jointly with Jaguar, is charting new territories for expansion. In little over a year, China has become the third largest market for Jaguar and Land Rover, up from the fifth position in 2008. While Tata Motors is planning to reduce the number of national sales companies of JLR (it has at least 20) as an added effort at containing costs, China's growing significance is forcing it to set up a sales company in that country. Speaking to a Chinese daily, David Smith, chief executive officer of JLR said: "We will add significantly to our dealer networks and bring in an increased range of products to the country. China will be very central in all of our plans and Chinese customers will be very central to our new product development initiatives." JLR sales are expected to rise by 10 per cent this year, as compared to 12,456 units sold last year, stated company executives. Mumbai-based Mahindra & Mahindra is planning to double the production of tractors from its two manufacturing sites in China over the next few years. It says the domestic market for geared tractors in China has grown at over 30 per cent compounded annually over recent years, to reach the 200,000-level, making it the second largest market in the world after India. Says Anjanikumar Choudhari, president -- farm equipment sector, M&M: "This growth has been fuelled by the policies of the government of China. Their aim is to slow urban migration by helping the rural economy to grow much faster than it has. "The policy encourages significant increase in agriculture mechanisation by subsidising use of fuel-efficient geared tractors, as opposed to power tillers and belt-driven tractors. During this calendar year, the government subsidy is likely to be $2.5–3 billion, which is used to provide up to 30-40 per cent discounts to farmers who wish to buy modern farm equipment." M&M operates in China through two companies -- Mahindra China Tractor Company, a JV between the Jiangling Motors Company Group and M&M FES and through Mahindra Yueda Yancheng Tractor Company, a JV between China's third largest tractor maker and M&M FES. M&M recently set up a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant with a capacity in excess of 50,000 tractors per year in China. The company aims to sell between 25,000 and 30,000 tractors in this financial year, contributing 15-18 per cent of its global volumes. Another Indian company looking to cash in on the cost advantage offered by China is Pune-based Bajaj Auto [ Get Quote ]. The company wants to make China the base for manufacturing its Boxer motorcycle (the Bajaj brand name is missing on the bike), later shipped to markets in Africa such as Nigeria. Bajaj says manufacture of ultra low-cost bikes like Boxer is possible only in China, which is also playing host to other manufacturers that produce and sell in local as well as export markets. The Boxer is a low-cost, 125cc bike from the Bajaj stable and would cost about Rs 20,000-24,000 in India upon launch. Bajaj has already exported well over 14,000 units of the bike and plans to ramp up production moving forward. Does that mean India is losing its cost advantage to China? Kapil Arora, partner, Ernst & Young, says, "China is certainly a large market for commercial and passenger vehicles and known for its low production costs in areas like manpower and raw materials. India is known for its component supply, its quality, and research and development; it is regarded as a reliable sources for components. "There will be no short-term threat to India. However, markets like Europe and America will now look towards low-cost countries for investments, so in that regard, India will have to compete with China in the long run." The Chinese car market is more than six times the size of the Indian one, at sales of nearly 10 million vehicles. In comparison, India's passenger vehicle market is little more than 1.5 million units. India, however, remains the world's largest market for two-wheelers. fivefilters.org featured article: Normalising the crime of the century by John Pilger.

| December 2009 (106) - Sacramento Bee Posted: 17 Dec 2009 10:01 AM PST From Bill Lindelof and Kim Minugh: A man suspected of killing two people in a small Sacramento apartment Tuesday has been arrested. Sacramento police today announced the arrest of George Ellis Wallace, 37. Authorities say Wallace gunned down two men, one 60 years old, the other 54, who both lived in the 18th Avenue apartment where the killings occurred. The identities of both victims have not been released. Two other adults inside the apartment, at least one of whom lived there, were uninjured in the 1 a.m. Tuesday attack, Sacramento police Sgt. Norm Leong said. Wallace was taken into custody without incident and booked on two murder counts in the Sacramento County jail. Detectives do not believe robbery or gangs played a role, Leong said. Police say the suspect reportedly forced his way into the apartment through a side door but provided few other details. They confirmed, however, that they were investigating a possible link between Tuesday's double homicide and a shooting at the same address in November. Neighbors who live in the six-unit cinder-block complex said a female resident was wounded, possibly in the foot, in that incident and returned home with crutches. Arrested in connection with that shooting was 21-year-old Bryanna Nadine Warren. She faces two charges of attempted murder and one count of burglary and is being held without bail at the Sacramento County Main Jail, where she was booked Dec. 2, booking records show. George Wallace is the boyfriend of Warren, police say. Sacramento County coroner's officials have not released the victims' names pending notification of kin. Javier Meza, who owns the apartment complex, would not identify his tenants because, he said, he did not want to "interfere with police activity." Meza said only that a married couple had moved into the apartment about a month and a half ago. He doesn't know anything about them, he said, because he lives in the Bay Area and visits the complex only once a month. Neighbors also knew little about the tenants, except that they were a married couple and another man and appeared to be friendly. One neighbor said the female resident offered her a turkey before Thanksgiving. Juanita Wagner, 76, said she didn't hear any gunfire early Tuesday morning and grew concerned only after police arrived. "I saw the red lights shining through the window, and I knew something was wrong," Wagner said. Another neighbor said the victims' dog awakened her, barking loudly, but she never heard gunfire. Warren, the suspect in the November shooting, said in an interview with The Bee that she didn't know anything about Tuesday's events. She admitted to the earlier shooting but said she had acted in self-defense. A few days before, Warren said a woman she didn't know had jumped her and beaten her badly. Warren said she was at the 18th Avenue apartment days later -- she would not say why -- when she saw the woman who allegedly had beaten her. Warren said the woman, much bigger than she is, "was coming toward me." Warren said she pulled out a gun she had begun carrying after the beating. "I got scared and -- you know what happened," she said. Asked if she knew why anyone else would try to harm the apartment residents, she said, "They're not good people." Warren began to cry during the interview. "Nobody's telling me anything," she said, sobbing. Warren said she's never been in trouble with the law before, "not even a ticket." She has no criminal history in Sacramento County, Superior Court records show. "I want to see my kids," she said. "My family's broken up because I was defending myself." Warren is due in court again on the attempted murder charges Jan. 13. fivefilters.org featured article: Normalising the crime of the century by John Pilger.
