April 2025 Blog Roundup: What SkyWings Shared This Month
April was a busy month on the SkyWings blog. We tackled everything from why some countries dominate car brands to the nitty‑gritty of the 70% rule that investors love. If you missed any of the posts, here’s a quick, no‑fluff recap so you can catch up fast.
Auto Industry Hot Takes
We kicked off the month with a deep dive into which country churns out the most car brands. Turns out, the answer isn’t as obvious as you’d think – a mix of legacy manufacturers and startup hustlers reshapes the leaderboard, with India emerging as a serious contender.
Shortly after, we unpacked Mitsubishi’s sudden exit from India. Competition, aging models, and dealer network woes were the main culprits, while policy shifts and changing buyer tastes sealed the deal.
Later, we answered a common curiosity: why imported cars must be at least 25 years old to roll onto Indian roads. The rule protects the environment, pushes local production, and keeps emissions in check – a policy that benefits both the planet and homegrown manufacturers.
Manufacturing & Profit Strategies
For investors and small‑scale entrepreneurs, the 70% rule is a lifesaver. We broke down how this guideline helps you assess risk when flipping assets – whether it’s a house, a piece of machinery, or a niche product line.
Our guide on the most profitable small‑scale manufacturing ideas highlighted sectors that deliver solid margins with modest startup costs. Think niche food processing, bespoke metalwork, and low‑volume electronics – all backed by real numbers.
We also showcased India’s rising star status in machinery manufacturing. From heavy‑duty agricultural equipment to textile machines, Indian firms are gaining global traction thanks to cost‑effective engineering and rapid innovation.
Chemicals, Pharma, and Plastic Realities
Two posts focused on the chemical world. First, we asked, "Who’s the king of chemicals in India?" and listed the top players, their product lines, and export strengths. Then we compared global chemical powerhouses, showing where India stacks up and where opportunities lie.
The pharma segment asked a simple question: which country leads the pharma game? We measured R&D spend, drug approvals, and market reach, pointing out why some nations consistently outpace others and what that means for Indian manufacturers.
Plastic production and waste got their own spotlight. One article quantified the United States’ share of global plastic output, revealing surprising stats about production hubs and innovation. Another exposed the biggest offenders behind ocean plastic dumping, linking lax disposal practices to specific manufacturing shortcuts and offering actionable steps for improvement.
Regional Highlights in Electronics
Finally, we mapped India’s best state for electronics manufacturing. Factors like policy incentives, skilled labor pools, and infrastructure were weighed, helping businesses decide where to set up their next plant.
All these posts share a common thread: practical insights you can apply today, whether you’re an investor, a factory manager, or just a curious reader. Dive into the full articles for deeper data, charts, and real‑world examples that bring each topic to life.
