Runner brings locally-made, US-powered motorbikes

[Species]

So that inferiority-complex ridden kalagiri doesn't even realize the Dayang bikes are manufactured by Runner group in Bangladesh but sell them under Dayang brand.

Moreover, the idiot even fail to realize that market share of Indian bikes has fell from almost 100% to less than 70% within 7-8 years as the local motorcycle manufacturing is taking shape at a rapid pace. Needless to say, their marketshare will fall even further as we all know the quality of 'Made in India' products.

You realise all political parties in Nepal are controlled by India right?

Want to know where Oli studied and where his mentors are from (and still based)?

Lutyens controls Katmandu politicians. There is reason why India and Nepal have fully open borders (that Nepal will never ever have with China)...and why a huge chunk of Nepalis work in India and remit a huge portion of Nepals GDP.

Dont need to take my word, just watch if your dream of Dayang re-exports (provided Dayang even allows it) materialises. You are not even competitive in your own country, yet you think you can be in others. LOL.

Look at it an weep:

This butt-hurt knows no bounds.

Walton group was founded in 1977 but Walton Motors only came into being in 2008.

There is little surprise that Walton bicycles are not as popular as Bajaj which was founded in 1945.

Look at the complete dominance of Walton in areas like fridges and televisions to see what calibre of a company that Walton is. In time Walton will dominate the cycle sector as it is a much better company than any Indian one.

PS - So when will India actually manufacture a smartphone like BD has done, rather than assemble from Chinese kits?

Runner's premium offering Knight Rider 150cc is strategically priced just below TVS Apache 160 and Bajaj Pulsar 150 and 160.
But they still couldn't beat Hero's Xtreme 150cc in pricing because of Hero's large production scale.

So in the end, a customer looking for 150-160cc bikes will in the end pick one of the Bajaj, TVS, Hero.

But good luck on the 100cc and lower bikes, where again, Bajaj and Hero has cheaper offers.
You just can't beat Hero offerings in that category.
BD needs to go cheaper for any chance.

Runner makes foray into Nepal with 7 bikes
- Post Report, Kathmandu

Dec 18, 2017-Runner Automobiles, a major motorcycle manufacturer from Bangladesh has entered the Nepali market with 7 models of motorcycles.

They are looking to target the entry level segment, with offerings ranging from 80cc to 150cc motorcycles. The official distributor for Runner motorcycles in Nepal is Raman Motors, a subsidiary company of Raman General.

The new motorcycles from Runner were unveiled by Chairman of Runner Group of Companies, Hafizur Rahman Khan; MD and CEO of Runner Automobiles Mukesh Sharma; and Raman Mahato, CEO of Raman Motors on Saturday.

According to the company, their motorcycles’ unique selling points are good fuel efficiency and easy availability of spare parts. All motorcycles in Runner’s line-up are equipped with a single cylinder, 4-stroke, air cooled engine.

“Runner has ventured into Nepal market with a long term vision of building Runner as a reliable and trusted brand by Nepali customers offering reliable, high quality motorcycles,” Khan.

Raman Motors has appointed 10 dealerships across Nepal and intends to further expand by appointing another 20 showrooms and service centres all over the country within the next six months, reads the press release.

“Runner carried an extensive survey to understand the needs of customers in Nepal and has tailored a portfolio of products in the commuter (entry & premium) and sports bike segment,” said Sharma.

He added that Runner will give special focus on after sales service and availability of

spare parts across Nepal for its motorcycles.

Runner is one of the biggest and best selling motorcycle brands in Bangladesh with

over 200 dealers and 400 distributors in the domestic market of Bangladesh. It has a production capacity of more than 500 bikes per day.

Note that Videocon and Godrej's electronic appliances tried to enter the Nepalese market but failed miserably due to their substandard quality. Now Walton is making inroads there,

This butt-hurt knows no bounds.

More than 80% of the refrigerator demand is being met by local manufacturing brands. This market was based on 100% import even just 10 years back.

It's just a matter of few years before the market share of those low class Indian motorcycle brands comes down to 0, their share is already falling at a rapid pace.

Whatever you close off and insulate (fridges and TVs), Walton has a chance.

Whatever you leave open (like the deals signed with India for trade in the 80s and 90s regarding transport sector), its gets dominated and rightfully so.

PS - So when will India actually manufacture a smartphone like BD has done, rather than assemble from Chinese kits?

"Manufacture"? Yours is simply assembly as well. No one really gave you a package deal given your market is tiny so that leaves buffer (insulation by virtue of poor market size) for Walton. World leader Samsung just not interested (and they certainly aren't Chinese...so there goes your Chinese kit assertion given Samsung assembles in India):

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...capacity-at-main-indian-factory-idUSKBN18Y277

Walton is simply going to sell a tiny amount given BD is terribly poor and underdeveloped.

I mean the smartphone market of both countries tells enough:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_smartphone_penetration

300 million versus 8.5 million (Check Global Mobile Market Report, April 2017 if you want to verify)

Thats like 5 times more per capita in India.

^So idiot even thinks electronic appliance market of Bangladesh is protected!

As for Samsung not being interested,
Samsung starts manufacturing locally

Let's stop tagging and talking about him.

'Ignore' this person. Then you don't have to

1. see what he posts or
2. reply to it.

Itna besharmi kabhi dekha nahi mujhey. Hangs around our forum all day simply to troll.

And the rest of the Indian trolls cheer him on as usual as if he is rolling around in his own excrement.

How the Mods don't discipline him is beyond me.

 

[Nilgiri]

^So idiot even thinks electronic appliance market of Bangladesh is protected!

Yeah, the tariffs on final electronics have been posted on this forum many times.

Most if not all the stuff Walton produces is taxed 25% for importing:

https://customs.gov.bd/portal/services/tariff/index.jsf

25% margin is pretty significant, even for LDC. You can easily assemble for small per capita consumption stats under that margin.

^So idiot even thinks electronic appliance market of Bangladesh is protected!

Samsung starts manufacturing locally

Whoo the tokenism just like Walton:

Transcom Electronics inaugurated a new state-of-the-art liquid crystal module production line that is capable of manufacturing 500 units of television panels and assembling 350 television units a day.

Gotta love that LDC capacity!

I was talking smartphones btw.

I believe 1300 is the biggest displacement bike available on the market..

Sounds about right, but I don't think its even a 1% of total sales in BD.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

"Dayang supplied by Runner group" = 8%

Walton = 6%

WITHIN BANGLADESH "MARKET".

And these two are dreaming of massive exports ...actually re-export of an import from 4th grade Chinese producer.



Lets check at Dayang website:

http://www.cccme.org.cn/shop/cccme5919/index.aspx

I think its safe to say no 1600

I believe 1300 is the biggest displacement sports bike available on the market..

HDs being heavier cruisers..

That idiot has just stopped making sense at all. Claims 25% of import tariff is protectionism.

Do we need to pull out the figures to show how 'liberal and open' the Indian market is?

According to the latest WTO data, India’s average bound tariff rate was 48.5 percent...India also maintains very high tariff peaks on a number of goods, including flowers (60 percent), natural rubber (70 percent), automobiles and motorcycles (60 percent to 75 percent), raisins and coffee (100 percent), alcoholic beverages (150 percent), and textiles (some ad valorem equivalent rates exceed 300 percent). Rather than liberalizing its customs duties, India instead operates a number of complicated duty drawback, duty exemption, and duty remission schemes for imports. Eligibility to participate in these schemes is usually subject to a number of conditions. In 20166, India increased tariffs on certain categories of telecommunications equipment. U.S. companies have raised significant concerns with this action. India maintains very high basic customs duties, in some cases exceeding 20 percent, on drug formulations, including life-saving drugs and finished medicines listed on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines.

And these are just import tariffs, there are numerous other duties a product has to face to enter the Indian market.

Compare apples to apples instead of copying paste from "export.gov" (yeah such a neutral unbiased authority on the matter lol).

https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/...f-economy-there-are-misconceptions-otherwise/

For non-agriculture products, most tariff lines for India are between zero and 10 per cent.

Lets compare Refrigerators for example.

Section 8418.

India tariff = 7.5% - 10%

BD tariff = 25%

QED.

https://customs.gov.bd/portal/services/tariff/index.jsf

Now quote the next Walton "product" you want to compare if you dare.

And these are just import tariffs, there are numerous other duties a product has to face to enter the Indian market.

Other duties? Please mention them specifically as they relate to manufactured products that Walton assembles under its 25% cover fire from BD govt. Remember other such "duties" equally build on top of this 25% in BD case too. So who knows what that final figure is for BD.

In the end realised primary, manufactured and tertiary consumption and total MVA figure (absolute and % of GDP and per capita) for India vs BD tells the final story.

Exactly. And let's talk about non-tarriff barriers too. Indian producers and firms run quite inefficiently - so every time their 'ruji' is compromised because of cheaper and higher quality imports (like from Bangladesh or China), local industry runs to New Delhi asking for a non-tariff barrier regime.

This happens with imports as big as Powerplants (china) or batteries from Bangladesh (more recently even apparel).

This is not helping their industry, its rampant protectionism. Kanjoosi, inefficiency, sub-par quality (cutting corners on everything) and protectionism for the inefficient are traits of the typical Indian trade scene.

But this is rather off topic here, let's reserve this discussion for a more appropriate thread.

 

[bluesky]

Here's the TVS 50cc moped in wide use....aah the sights (and smells) of India.....

Awww - look at the scaredy cat kids!! Poor things!

And you can't really compete with the TVS Super heavy duty XL model. This thing has foldable pedals to use just in case the owner is not in the (ahem) 'spendy' mood.

Is this what the Indian life style is? I am surprised to see the pictures. Is it correct that India collected these junks from its extravagant Mars expedition showcase supported by European money? the top picture elaborates how the new generation Indians make a honeymoon ride. @Nilgiri

Motorcycles Export by Country
JUNE 12, 2017 BY DANIEL WORKMAN



Motorcycle racing curve

Global sales from motorcycle exports by country amounted to US$21.4 billion in 2016.

Overall, the value of motorcycle exports were up by an average 8.3% for all exporting countries since 2012 when motorcycle shipments were valued at $19.8 billion. Year over the value of exported motorcycles went up by 1.8% from 2015 to 2016.

Among continents, Asian countries accounted for the highest dollar worth of exported motorcycles during 2016 with shipments valued at $12.7 billion or 59.4% of the global total.

In second place were European exporters at 32.2% while 7% of worldwide motorcycle shipments originated from North America. Smaller percentages came from Latin America (excluding Mexico) and the Caribbean at 0.7%, Africa at 0.3% and Oceania (mostly Australia and New Zealand) at 0.1%.

The 4-digit Harmonized Tariff System code prefix for motorcycles is 8711.


Motorcycle Exports by Country
Countries
Advantages
The following countries posted the highest positive net exports for motorcycles during 2016. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the surplus between the value of each country’s exported motorcycles and its import purchases for that same commodity.

1. China: US$5.8 billion (net export surplus up 5.4% since 2012)
2. Japan: $1.8 billion (down -20.6%)
3. India: $1.6 billion (up 20.3%)
4. Thailand: $1 billion (down -0.2%)
5. Austria: $779 million (up 82.5%)
6. Italy: $575.3 million (down -41.5%)
7. Indonesia: $406.8 million (up 1164.1%)
8. Germany: $371.9 million (up 190.6%)
9. Taiwan: $367.8 million (down -18.1%)
10. Vietnam: $148.7 million (up 29.2%)
11. Brazil: $101.4 million (up 218.4%)
12. Romania: $34.1 million (down -864%)
13. Singapore: $2.9 million (down -105%)
14. Kyrgyzstan: $586,000 (down -221.8%)
15. Gambia: $235,000 (down -124.9%)

China has the highest surplus in the international trade of Motorcycle. In turn, this positive cashflow confirms strong Chinese competitive advantage for this specific product category.
