Media release

MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX, KUALA LUMPUR
March 18, 2005

Following a positive start in Melbourne, where both cars crossed the finishing line, Jordan Grand Prix is looking forward to the challenge of the Malaysian Grand Prix. After one day off, driver Narain Karthikeyan travelled straight to Malaysia to acclimatise and prepare for the extremely hot and humid conditions of Kuala Lumpur’s Sepang International Circuit. As for Tiago Monteiro, he stayed in Australia but nevertheless he followed a strict programme, prepared for him by Gerard Gray, Jordan Grand Prix team’s physiotherapist. “In Malaysia for training, the drivers were working approximately four hours a day. They have realised after the Australian race, that they need to prepare even more intensively for Malaysia where the track temperature, the cockpit temperature and the humidity make it the most difficult and physical race of the year.” Gray explains. “Every day, the drivers were in the gym working their neck, shoulder,  stomach and back muscles. Additionally, they did a lot of cardio work and circuit training”. “In addition, Narain and Tiago did a lot of stretching and received daily massage therapy. It is essential for a driver to have lean, supple muscles that maintain strength but also keep a low weight, so it makes it easier for the engineers to design a car around them.” Gray adds. 

“It was an intensive programme. They were guaranteed to be working extremely hard in high temperatures to prepare them for the Malaysian race. Nutritionally, they also had to be trained for a much hotter race. They are drinking different energy drinks to replace the salt that they loose through sweat. So the nutritional strategy for the Malaysian Grand Prix will be different to that used in Australia. The better prepared, the better they are going to be.” Gray concludes.

Team quotes on the Malaysian Grand Prix

Narain Karthikeyan

“After the first race in Australia, I went directly to Malaysia to prepare physically for the tough weather conditions. I have trained a lot outdoors, about four hours a day, especially doing some cardio work. I have also been around the track and the first things I have noticed are that it is not very clean and it is very wide. However, I think it will suit my style of driving. I am a little bit worried about the very hot conditions here in Malaysia, as it is very humid. Physically, it will be very challenging but I will push hard for it, as I did in Australia and hopefully finish the race again.” 


Tiago Monteiro
 

“I stayed in Australia between the two races to relax and recover from my cold. Nevertheless, I have also gone through a fitness programme that my trainer had prepared for me. Malaysia will be another unknown track for me. My goal here is to learn the circuit as fast as I can and obviously try to finish the race. The track is quite different from Melbourne, there are many high-speed corners and the hot temperature and the humidity will probably make it the toughest race of the year. However, I am really looking forward to the challenge.” 

Paul Monaghan, Chief Race Engineer
Sepang International Circuit is a very demanding one: the hot track temperature creates unique conditions for the drivers, tyres and engine. A good car balance is required for the track's flowing nature, which then eases the braking requirements. At present, we are facing challenges with two new drivers, tyres and engine regulations, but we are building on the lessons learnt at the Australian Grand Prix and seeking to get the most from everything here this weekend.” in it!

 

TATA SALT RECEIVES THE FIRST FMCG CONSUMER REACTION AWARDS
March 9, 2005

Tata Salt was a recipient in the first FMCG Consumer Reaction Awards organised by the Indira Group of Institutes. This award has been conceived by the Indira Group of Institutes, overseen by R L Bhatia. 28 awards were presented at a glittering ceremony held at Taj Lands on March 1, 2005. 

The students of Indira Group undertook an in-depth research in various categories of consumer products that the consumers use and need in their day-to-day life as a pattern of behaviour and consumer buying habit. A structured questionnaire was used on a sample size of 5000 consumers in Mumbai and Pune. The consumers were approached to define their preferences and buying habits. The age group covered was varying from 16 years to 56 years. The responses were then collated and reviewed by a team of specialists in market research. The first FMCG Consumer Reaction Awards are unique as they are "the voice of the consumer" sharing the consumer's feeling and acceptance of a product, amidst the several competitive products that exist. 

Said Satish Sohoni, COO — FAB, Tata Chemicals, “The fact that the consumers, singled out Tata Salt amongst the scores of FMCG brands, is a testimony of our continuing efforts to achieving consumer satisfaction. Consumer faith and loyalty has today, brought about yet another accolade for us with the Consumer Reaction Award in the FMCG sector.” 

THE TETLEY GROUP GOES FOR A DEBT REFINANCE 
March 9, 2005

All products marketed by the Tata Group companies based abroad will carry the words ‘A Tata Enterprise’ on product packs. In line with this, Tata Tetley, for the first time, will use ‘A Tata Enterprise’ on its product packs. Tetley, being a different legal entity, would pay the licence fee in due course after meeting all the conditions of the licence agreement of the Tata Group. 

This can be viewed as a step further towards the integration of the operations of Tata Tea and Tetley. The focus is on creating a global database and having a common system for both the entities. 

According to Tata Tea managing director Homi R Khusrokhan, “It was decided recently that as part of creating a global awareness of the ‘Tata’ name, all products marketed by the Tata companies outside India, which would include the Tetley Group, will hereafter, over the next year progressively, carry the words ‘A Tata Enterprise’ on all packs.” 

The move endorses what the Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata stated in his New Year message to all group employees, that globalisation is an important new phase in the group’s growth plans. 

As far as the restructuring initiatives of the manufacturing hubs of Tetley are concerned, Mr. Khusrokhan said, “The creation of global manufacturing hubs are an on-going process. However, these plans will not impact Tata Tea’s sites in India.” 

In order to be a cost efficient player, Tetley plans to have a few manufacturing hubs around the world. However, these hubs may not be directly connected with their original markets. For example, Tetley, which has recently entered into two joint ventures — one in Bangladesh and the other in Pakistan — will help the company leverage on their manufacturing and distribution networks for serving its other markets. 

In Australia, it closed its manufacturing facility and is now sourcing its requirement from Tata Tetley Limited, the joint venture company in Kochi. During 2002-03, Tetley restructured its operations in the US by selling its private label business, outsourcing its entire manufacturing operations to a joint venture company. It also set up another joint venture company to retain its presence in the food service sector. 

Further, on the road to globalisation, Tata Tea is eyeing certain overseas markets where it plans to introduce its brands through soft launches. These markets include the Middle East, the Gulf countries and the Far East. The Tetley group will continue to have a presence in most of the developed countries along with Russia, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

 

TATA POWER’S DISTRIBUTION ARM COMPLETES FIRST PHASE OF AMR IMPLEMENTATION
March 7, 2005

NDPL, the power distribution arm of Tata Power with the mandate of distributing power to north and north west parts of Delhi, announced that it has successfully completed implementation of the first phase of automatic meter reading (AMR) technology for over 3,000 of its consumers. 

North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL), the power distribution arm of Tata Power with the mandate of distributing power to North and North West parts of Delhi, today announced that it has successfully completed implementation of the first phase of automatic meter reading (AMR) technology for over 3,000 of its consumers. This technology intervention by the company now covers all its high value consumers. For the past eight months all large industrial power (LIP) and single point distribution (SPD) consumers of NDPL are being billed using AMR technology. The company plans to cover 10,000 consumers under AMR by the end of FY 2005-06 and extend it to over 50,000 consumers by the end of FY 2006-07. 

Commenting on the company achieving this milestone, F A Vandrevala, managing director, Tata Power, said, “AMR is a win-win situation for the power utilities and consumers, as the system provides the utility with accurate data leaving no room for manipulation. At the same time the consumers can access their consumption and billing data, use it for load planning and in reducing their electricity bills. ”

All NDPL consumers being billed using AMR are provided with state-of-the-art intelligent electronic meters which virtually talk to a computer server installed at NDPL’s end, that downloads the data from these meters. These electronic meters furnish more details in comparison to old electromechanical meters. The AMR technology helps the company not only in efficient data collection but also in-depth aggregation and analysis. To facilitate transparency and consumer satisfaction, the downloaded data for all consumers billed through AMR is shared with them through the NDPL website, www.ndplonline.com. This data can be utilized by consumers to plan their load and improve power factor. This unique value-added service is provided to NDPL consumers free of cost.

The main highlight of the AMR technology being used by NDPL is that all types of meters in its installed base can be read through a single, seamless operation. For this purpose, NDPL along with leading meter manufacturers of the country have co-authored an interoperability document ie the universal meter reading document (available on metering-india.com). Through this, NDPL has developed a common platform by which all meters can be read through a common software, irrespective of variations in the meter manufacturing source. The data from these meters is collected on a daily basis and stored in a repository where all the analysis takes place automatically.

The AMR scheme adopted by NDPL consists primarily of two ends, the CT meter at the consumer’s premises and associated devices as well as the computerised system installed at NDPL. The computers are programmed to dial to the CT meters and download the data for the purpose of billing and analysis. NDPL has created a specialised group that monitors the data collected, especially meter tampering information in order to take appropriate corrective action, quickly.

 

TATA MOTORS LAUNCHES A WIDE RANGE OF FULLY BUILT BUSES AND COACHES 
March 7, 2005

Tata Motors, India’s largest fully integrated automotive manufacturer, today announced the launch of fully built coaches under the ‘Globus’ brand name and a range of branded buses under the ‘Starbus’ portfolio. This introduction is perhaps the largest ever launch by a commercial vehicle manufacturer at one time. 

The Tata range of ultra-modern fully built buses redefines mass transportation, by raising the existing standards and setting new benchmarks in safety and comfort of bus travel in the country. The Tata branded buses and coaches, available in Diesel and CNG variants, with capacity ranging from 13 to 67 seater, have been conceptualised to meet the exacting requirements of every user group. The premium range of Globus coaches have been designed to transport the traveller in luxury. Ergonomically designed hi-back, fully reclining ‘soft feel fabric’ seats; spacious leg room; overhead reading lights; personalised climate control vents and attention to every detail make the journey in the Globus the ultimate in passenger comfort.

The Starbus portfolio comprises deluxe, low floor and school bus models. The range offers superior quality and comfort while ensuring unparalleled economy for bus operators. The Starbus Skool is the first in its category to offer a host of safety features. The Starbus Skool takes concern and care of school children to a new level. Features like padded seats with soft tooth guards, anti-skid flooring, luminescent signs, safety alarms and a retractable step ensure utmost safety. The ultra low floor and low floor buses are the result of thorough attention and intricate detailing to ensure passenger comfort. 

The buses and coaches are offered in a wide price range between Rs. 61 millions to Rs. 350 millions to suit every user profile. 

Commenting on Tata Motors’ launch of fully built buses, Ratan N Tata, chairman, Tata Motors stated, ‘This is an important milestone for us. Till date we have had limited presence in the bus segment. The introduction of the bus range and the company’s recent acquisition in Europe will position Tata Motors to gain a strong foothold in the international markets.’

Tata Motors, last month formed a strategic alliance with Hispano Carrocera, a well-known Spanish bus manufacturing company which has to its credit many awards including the prestigious European Bus of the Year. This strategic alliance with Hispano will provide Tata Motors access to Hispano’s design and technological capabilities. 

Speaking on the occasion, Ravi Kant, executive director — commercial vehicle business unit, Tata Motors said, ‘ India is currently witnessing a surge in infrastructure development, which is set to bring about a paradigm shift in logistics management and the manner in which people travel. Tata Motors has always been at the forefront of change, our aim is to participate and lead this movement by offering transportation solutions which will enable people to travel in comfort and safety’. 

With the introduction of Tata branded buses, the ‘Tata Bus Terminus’ has evolved into a one-stop shop for all customer requirements, providing total convenience to the customer.
