TML, Lucknow, will be migrated
to this plant and subsequently it
will take up manufacture of new
products. In today’s competitive
environment, quality and cost ef-
ficiency are the most important pa-

Mr. Behera explained that
RSB’s core philosophy is to sat-
isfy the ultimate end customer.
Hence it proactively collaborates
and partners with all its custom-
ers on resolution of quality issues
and performance enhancement, be
it related to design, material, pro-
duction, manufacturing process
or systems. This collaborative ap-
proach helps in enhancing the im-
age of the company customers in
the emerging markets.
The Lucknow plant, besides sup-
porting TML, is also RSB’s small
contribution

bring about inclu-

complimented RSB
for setting up the
plant in Lucknow

growth of TML.

Vice Chairman &
MD of the com-
pany,
explained
RSB’s deep en-
gagement
with
TML by highlighting that the
company has manufacturing facili-
ties in all locations – Jamshedpur,
Pune, Dharwad, Pantnagar and

“The automotive landscape
in India is just unfolding;
the future is vast and the
opportunities are many,
notwithstanding the occa-
sional short-term dips.”
