| Maruti Suzuki: On a roll | 27-OCT-09 |
|
| India’s biggest car maker has sold a bigger share of more profitable cars and also exported more in the September 2009 quarter. This has pushed the operating profit margin (opm) up by 70 basis points sequentially to 11.9 per cent. With governments offering scrappage incentives, the demand for small cars in the overseas markets was strong and Maruti’s exports increased 109 per cent year-on-year. That drove the company’s top line up by a smart 47 per cent year-on-year. |

| Making wine | 17-OCT-09 |
|
| While quite a few people are starting to imbibe wine in India, not too many really know how wine is made, or what constitutes “good” wine. Since I’ve been carrying on about the stuff for some time now, it’s high time I delved into the subject, on the principle that to appreciate anything one needs to understand it a little. |
