SLTL which started in 1989 was previously known as Sahajanand Laser Technologies Limited. SLTL is a manufacturer of diamond processing machines with lasers, industrial laser systems, medical stems, renewable energy, solar thermal based equipment’s, radio frequency, and microwave absorbers. As a conglomerate, we are present in 30 countries, and we are growing at a rapid pace. We spend around 10% of our revenue every year on research and development. In your opinion, what is the current market scenario? The market scenario in India is growing at a good pace. There is stiff competition from imported machines like Chinese machines that are now penetrating the Indian market. These machines even though low in cost are deficient in quality. Even then, these machines are swiftly gaining a market in India, as the Indian machine tool buyer is mainly focussed ...

The manufacturing sector has always been a vital contributor to the GDP of any country, and it is no different in India. In fact, we can see that India is at the tip of high rate of industrialisation across the country. The Gardner Machine Tool survey 2016 states that India imports 58% of the machine tools out of the total amount of machine tools it requires for domestic consumption. This means that we have a shortage of machine tool manufacturing companies that manufacture components and equipment, which have a ready market in our country. This is presently the biggest challenge that the machine tool sector of the country is facing. How is this challenge being addressed? The machine tool industry is highly in support of the government’s ‘Make in India’ program, and believes that the initiative will boost the sector to help reduce the number of imports in the country. Take a look at the Knowledge Paper developed by CNCTimes.com which talks about the challeng...

India is on the road to make the country a manufacturing hub the popular ‘Make in India’ initiative of the government. The increase in development and growth in local manufacturers of capital goods has resulted as a key to achieving this goal of the country. The Exclusive Whitepaper of Frost & Sullivan titles ‘Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing- The Changing Era of Indian Manufacturing’ states that the demand for machine tools in India is likely to grow at a CAGR of 15% annually, and roughly 60% of the demand is addressed by imports currently. Such high potential of the industry has given a boost the manufacturers of the Indian machine tool industry to expand and diversify their range and grow at an incredible pace resulting in reducing the imports of the country. ‘Make in India’ is today at its beaming glory as the initiative has become a reality, and the country is moving towards becoming stronger on building and developing new products and technologies.
