As I thought - absolute rubbish. Some Indian made stuff is good - various items of their engineering tooling and accessories can be fine, though not yet to the standard of older UK, German or USA items where quality was top-class and consistent.
The Indians are also into making parts for vintage motorcycles e.g. hand-operated plunger oil pumps for fitting to the oil compartment of fuel tanks. These units are well made and of excellent cosmetic finish - but the maker didn't know about the little leather washers and spring in the base, these acting as a one-way valve. If the feed goes to the crankcase of a two-stroke, they don't work - in fact, crankcase pressure then feeds through the pump into the tank. Not good!
