Will focus on EV components: Krishna
Sundram Fasteners Ltd. (SFL) is planning to increase exports to 50% of the total turnover by focussing on electricvehicle (EV) components, said chairman Suresh Krishna. “The newly commissioned unit in SEZ Sri City is totally committed to exports,” Mr. Krishna told shareholders. “We are also getting substantial orders from major customers outside of India for EV components,” he added. During FY21, SFL exported products worth ₹1,010 crore that accounted for 34% of the total turnover. In Q1 of FY22, exports grew by 39% to ₹356 crore.
The latest Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) by MoS&PI reveals a transformative shift in India’s economic landscape. For the first time in over a decade, granular data on Monthly Per Capita Expenditure (MPCE) highlights a significant decline in the proportional share of food spending—a classic validation of Engel’s Law as real incomes rise. Between 1999 and 2024, both rural and urban consumption pivoted away from staple-heavy diets toward protein-rich foods, health, education, and conveyance. As Indian households move beyond subsistence, these shifting Indian household spending patterns offer vital insights for social sector policy, poverty estimation, and the lived realities of an expanding middle-income population.
