New steps will be required, but as of now a focus on realisation and implementation of current reforms is most important.

 Alfa Laval has presence in India for more than 75 years, offering its product portfolio in processes and applications like heat transfer, separation and fluid handling and reaching the Indian market through 15 sales and service offices spread across the country.
Lars Dithmer, MD, Alfa Laval India Limited, shares his views on successful implementaion of ‘Make in India’ campaign.
Alfa Laval is ‘Making in India’“Alfa Laval has a presence in India since many years and we have been  ‘Making in India’ for the Indian market as well to supply globally from our 5 factories located in Pune, Satara and Sarole,” says Mr Dithmer.
Only continuous effort will bring successThe manufacturing sector in India has been facing considerable challenges since the last few years. Drawing this important point Mr Dithmer says, ”We are looking forward to see policies and actions that can ease the way of doing business yet keeping a focus on the environment and optimal energy usage. A continued effort in enhancing the infrastructure for transport and trade is essential in making ‘Make in India’ reaching its full potential.”
Implement current reformsThe union budget for FY 2015-16 includes a number of good initiatives which are expected to simplify business transactions. However, Mr Dithmer  observed all initiatives must keep in mind the ease of doing business with a focus on value creation. New initiatives are welcome realising that the budget for FY 2015-2016  has already been presented – the GST is something the industry will be expecting. He said, “New steps will be required, but as of now a focus on realisation and implementation of current reforms is most important.”
Alfa Laval is open to expansionWith an extensive manufacturing base already established, we are already ‘Making in India’. Our  focus is to serve our customers in the best possible way. We will expand our base in India as and when we feel it is required. We will also expand when there are opportunities.
