I. Introduction
Diesel engine is a convenient and cost effective
prime mover for pumping water for agricultural
and industrial purposes. It is used in
industries to supplement power and in rural
areas to crush cane, to lift water, to operate
flour mill etc.
Main concentrations of this industry are at
Rajkot, Kolhapur, Agra, Pune and Gaziabad.
A large number of SSI units are engaged in
manufacturing one or more components of diesel
engines. Due to batch production of single or
few components, it has been possible to achieve
quality product at very low cost. As such, it
is possible for SSI units to assemble diesel engines
by purchasing the finished or semi-finished
components and only minor machining, testing
etc. need be done by the manufacturer. Considering
the above facts, it is proposed to
be brought out all the components instead of
manufacturing the same in the unit. |
