What does it mean to Tata BearingsWhat does it mean to Tata BearingsAgenda for Discussion :Agenda for Discussion :
1.What are our core strengths ? How do we capitalize on them?
2.What are our principal weaknesses ? How do we overcome them ?
3.Discussion on Opportunities : A) Small Car explosion :
1. Hub bearings (new)2. Clutch assemblies (new)3. Engine & transmission bearings (expansion)
B) Other Opportunities : 1. M&L Ball Bearings & TRBs for pump & motors, farm
equipment, industrial equipment 2. Assemblying of sourced components ? pros/cons?
4. Discussion on Threats : 1. Rising low cost imports, 2. Expansion thru sourcing by organized players,
3. Entry of KBC, NTN & Koyo ?
