Still the most profit goes to the brand owners not the suppliers, Apple makes the most money out of iphone and not the Chinese companies. So, support Indian brands instead of infighting amongst us. If not the Indian brands, then at least go for Japanese and Korean brands.

Even Harrier uses Fiat 2 L multijet Diesel burner and Punch poerglide 6 speed autobox and numerous chinease sourced componants . Still we call it Indian product.There's much more to it "kiddo". Such as software and firmware.
Now go build Tejas with western avionics and American Engine and call it indigenous
HK are unhappy because some dummies are trying to take them over. Note that HK was under British rule for 50 year after India and they don't bathe in turd or have starvation and malnutrition issues running amok. Nor do they complain of the British half as much as you, or even close. Good day sir.
Well, well, well, were you or weren't you reasoning the Chinese used our example to their people about the pitfalls of democracy. Pity how an extremely pragmatic & Mercantile community as the Chinese in HK didn't buy into such a narrative.
Which brings me to the fact as to why was HK created? It offered a base & harbor for British naval operations in the far East. What other benefits did it have apart from being a trading outpost for that most odious of trades - the opium trade. The Chinese there were a combination of sell outs who profited from this odious trade against their compatriots & the dregs of human society for whom survival was paramount.
What was the population housed in HK then & now? Where's the comparison to a massive colony like India in the days of the BE? A better comparison ought to be the British colony of Ireland. Wonder why did the Irish crave independence? After all British rule apart from being benign & just was also extremely rewarding & a matter of prestige as per resident retard Paddy here.Wasn't it Paddy?
Now shove off.
BTW My AC’s compressor is manufactured by Hitachi.Sorry to remind you that China alone manufacturers 85-90% of world's Air conditioning and refrigeration systems and its components. All Indian companies and for that matter others are just assembly units of Chinese components and many just bring in complete units including packaging and just market it like kenstar, Livpure, Onida etc. Godrej, Blue Star, Voltas assemble here. The only companies that manufacture their own completely are LG, Samsung, Hitachi, Daikin, Carrier and even they tend to use Chinese components for export market in third world countries. They manufacture completely for their domestic and US and European market. That's a grim realty....
Collaboration with Hongli China. Manufacturing in Mehsana. MII is followed more by foreign companies in the AC sector than by Indian firms who're in the time tested & truest traditions of Indian manufacturers cum traders engaging in baniyagiri.
Sometimes ago Voltas too did the same. Not anymore. Upper limit of imported content in HAVEC segment is approx 60%.
Compressor too is made in India (mostly) by a subsidiary of Hitachi in Ahmedabad.
(Plant is JV with some chinease investment company)
They are improving. The guy on the showroom told everything about that.
I think only Daikin has more Indian content .
Although I agree that on this forum things are much better than other Indian forum where the poor owner has to constantly rubbish Pakistan for proving his loyalty for India.
Resulting in a forum purely running on hate against Pakistan.
Resultantly it's a sausage festival forum with zero Pakistani presence and Indian neglected or bullied school kids come there to vent their anger of real life failures , on Pakistan.
Bhai mere Right winger hone ke liye Modi ji ki ga##d chatna jaroori nahi. It is the job of paid IT Cell workers/trolls. Learn the definition of Right and left wing first instead of accusing everyone for certain political view.
BTW No one is getting paid by any party , so no boot licking needed.
You may be the fan of PM Modi or Politician Modi or Leader Modi, that’s perfectly fine. But don’t judge others by their posts. Everyone has right to praise or criticise the PM of the country in a democracy.
IMO people here are more rational and critical thinking than other “Echo chambers”.
Btw other forums too have some good members like ColdHard Aviator and Abindgonboy, unknown commando etc. who do know what they are talking about.
Voltas till date imports almost all its indoor units. Not every company uses Hitachi - Hongli Compressors. Their share of the total market is 10% or less. This data is a few years old though I don't think they've improved much on it.
Daikin is one of the few companies in India with a long term plan of manufacturing everything in house & in India. Presently their indoor units & compressors are imorted from Daikin Thailand.
Nowadays it is fashoniable to say 'I am a modi supporter but.....and then fill in the blanks with leftist arguments...'
You seem very knowledgable in this. Are you in the refrigeration/ consumer durables industry?
60% market share as per news reports.
Read the Bloomberg report where some voltas rep said they stopped doing it few years ago, but still depends on critical things like compressors, PCBs etc

Being Modi supporter don’t mean one has to store their brains in the deep freezer.
Obviously those who have high hopes from him feel disappointed by his failures.
Being a Modi supporter is not a job, you can still disagree with his actions.

They don't, 55.3% voted to remain in the UK and the voter turnout was much larger than for the EU referendum, so the absolute number was higher than the number who voted to remain in the EU.

Not really, it's a simple inequality on GDP/Capita.

You won with 5%.....try the same now. You'l lose by 50.
HK isn't complaining, nor Singapore, nor Malaysia, nor Australia, nor NZ, nor Canada. Basically, after independence it was on you and here's where you are, don't blame us, you've had 73 years.
2m voted to remain in the UK, only 1.6m voted to stay in the EU. Sturgeon has no budget for an independent Scotland, nor does she have a currency and their deficit and debt preclude them from joining the Euro - the last thing it needs are more basket cases. The EU needs Scotland like they need a second Greece.
