Publisher's Note

Welcome to our 50th edition. Since our very first issue (Sep-Oct, 2012), this magazine has been devoted to providing value to lubrication. We always try to publish the most valuable articles and our brilliant authors deserve credit for sharing their ideas and experiences.

Keeping in mind the current scenario, we have increased our reach through digital mediums. Readers can also visit our website for easy reference of the past issues. We have introduced a section last year named ‘Great pioneers that inspire us’ in which we feature about the life, achievements, research, writings of great pioneers who made a profound impact on industry & academia. We have also introduced ‘What if...?’ in which we explain a particular situation and how the author handled or resolved the situation. These have proven to be popular and successful additions.

In our 50th issue, we are covering ‘50 Lubrication Best Practices You Should Be Using Now’ along with many informative articles. We are planning to introduce a section called ‘Buyer’s guide’ - a comprehensive directory of companies who offer products and services within the machinery lubrication, reliability maintenance, and oil analysis space. This will bring the buyers closer to the quality suppliers of related goods and services. Look out for this addition soon.

After our successful live interactive online training, we are also planning to host a series of webinars on various subjects of lubricants, lubrication and reliability. In this, you will get an opportunity to hear and communicate with experienced lubrication professionals.

We thank our readers for sending their feedback and sharing their experiences reading our magazine, you can read it in ‘From the readers’ section. The reason why this magazine exists and why the articles are even being published is because of our readers. Keep reading and recommending our magazine ‘Machinery Lubrication India’ to your friends and colleagues. Having such a large audience, we are fully aware of our responsibilities and we’ll make sure to stay true to our values and principles in future.

We would like to thank each and every www.machinerylubricationindia.com subscriber, advertiser, author and our partner (Noria Corporation, USA) for constant support and encouragement.

A personal note to our advertisers- we thank you for advertising with us and more importantly, your confidence in us. We look forward to your contributions and insights.

We would like to thank our readers for the heartening response to our previous edition’s cover story – “Oil Analysis or Vibration Analysis? Which is better and when to use each technique” and other articles. As always, we look forward to your valuable suggestions and feedback.

Despite the gloom that engulfed the world with the onset of COVID-19, we see enthusiasm and resilience of the lubricants industry. To the new beginnings and extended potential, wishing you all a Merry Christmas & A Very Happy New Year.

Enjoy the read!!

Warm regards,

Udey Dhir
