India's commercial vehicle market just had its best year in seven. Then the June quarter arrived, and margins fell

Rising material costs swallowed the operating leverage.
Where Does China Fit in Your Company’s Innovation Strategy?
For decades, multinationals treated China primarily as either a vast growth market or a rising competitive threat.
