Those deflections are so typical of princess Billu...
Indian mfrs. don't have to lose sleep at night about competition from Walton, Indians have a huge captive market which Indian third rate mfrs. can easily exploit until kingdom come, by putting out 'bahanas' of patriotism and lobbying the govt. servants there and putting up non-tariff barriers against imports to support sale of their sub par products.
Next they will come up with excuses that Bangladesh exports aren't 'shuddh' enough for consumption by bhakts!
The average Indian consumer- who have much more purchasing power & consumes 2 to 6 times more of any product/service per capita cannot afford good quality products but the LDC lot can...
181.7 million worth of supposed ''sub par'' Indian refrigerators gets exported Indian but only $142,000 worth ''superior quality'' Bangladeshi refrigerators gets exported..
Even other markets where 'Baal-ton' such as US, EU, Indonesia, Thailand, UAE, Qatar & Nepal don't even give a good damn about those ''high quality'' products...Exports of $142,000- that's like 250 refrigerators per year ?
Seriously, why is it that your entire country is full of idiots like you ? Explains the 2 USPTO patents per year phenomenon.
As I said earlier, Homo Erectus would have done better than you lot if they were still around...
Now what does Zaidi Sattar, chairman of the Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh have to say about protective tariffs in Bangladesh ?
“Any consumer goods you buy, the prices are well above the international levels.
It is because the imports are subjected to the highest protective tariffs in the region, if not the world.”

31% on handset imports is perfectly kosher...or halal or whatever.

Even your home market infra (500 plus megawatt powerplants, industrial fossil fuel engines, public transport e.g. metro vehicles) are almost all supplied by China.
The topic of my post was lack of credibility of Baal-ton projections, but princess Billu would talk about anything but that.
We have 3 manufacturers supplying 500 MW+ power plants. Which takes care of much of the local demands
We are also developing AUSC technology on our own.
Industrial engines are being supplied by the likes of Kirloskar, Cummins, Greaves etc from their Indian operations.
We have BEML, Alstom India & Bombardier India who manufacture metro rakes in India. Now Titagarh Firema Adler, Medha stadler & BHEL- Hitachi are coming up
1920 Coaches out of 2140 Coachs for Delhi metro phase I to III were made in India.
As I said before, we are not an LDC ''which doesn't have the capabilities to diversify it's Industrial base'' and have to boast about manufacturing a hermetically sealed compressor as if it's some technological breakthrough...
We don't see a reason to cry because you are comparing a seventy year old economy and market with one that is an eighth of its size/population and which was rebuilt from scratch after your army looted and stripped it bare in 1971.
Most sane Bangladeshis (a micro-minority) have enough reason to cry as majority of their compatriots are stupid enough to count chickens before they hatch...
to claim that they have successfully diversified exports after exporting a mere $142,000 worth refrigerators.
And have a good cry about the bolded part.
It means they will be making and exporting 500 liter plus double door fridges there, not the two liter dorm room fridges you lot are so proud of exporting.
Do you have any data regarding the composition of Bangladeshi refrigerator exports ? Obviously not. But what else can be expected from the guy who even claims that Bangladesh have beaten India in pharma exports (actual realised Bangladeshi pharma exports- $80 million)
But then your refrigerator exports are less than 0.08% of Indian refrigerator exports by value.
So even if only 0.1% of Indian refrigerator exports are 500 litre plus models, it means we'll be exporting more models of the same kind...that is assuming that you only export 500 litre plus models
By the way - this is Walton's latest double door 500 liter,
You once even claimed that Bangladeshis need large refrigerators with large freezers for storing huge meat portions during Eid...
And later data came out that Bangladeshis have the lowest per capita meat consumption in the world...
So much for grandiose claims...
