Machan that's not profitable. We don't have that kind of market...
On the other hand we don't build our own engines. So ultimately buyers are depending on a foreign company

of course we have an enough demand. theyve only bought 1000 busses. do u think thats enough? theyve only scratched the surface. i think we need atleast a few thousand more. Thats talking in the mandatory minimums.

remember we did it earlier. what do u mean get rid of that mentality. the road to a industrialized nation? We need to start heavy industry right now. Otherwise its not gonna happen, MIddle east money can only take us this far. All of the foreign investment companies are starting to leave sri lanka becuase of expensive labor and expensive electricity.

i belive that this is a small step that we must absolutely take to strengthen our future economy.

we import only the engine and chassy. cant we even make a body for a bus? have lagged that behind?

I don't think Sri Lanka has much chance to become a production oriented economy. because the competition is extreme and we don't have what it takes to be a mass producer (cheap labor, raw materials etc).

Service is the one we should focus on. we have every thing that needs to become a global service provider. Sri Lankan service providers have already shown good results in the world market. take tourism, software development, consulting, BPO.. non of them are having a hard time. we only need proper direction and some marketing.
