Deewaar post alleges third-party surveyor quoted about 10x Indian market rate for port inspection services

Samant has received the gold. Vijay asks for his ₹5 lakh. What if I don’t pay you, Samant asks. Vijay tells him about a man whose hen laid a golden egg every day. Greedy for all the gold at once, he slit its belly and killed it. That scene from Deewaar (1975), with Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay, came to mind while checking a quotation recently. We’re buying armour rocks from India to protect the shores of our reclaimed islands in the Maldives. Needed a third-party surveyor for quality inspection and a draft survey at the loading port. A draft survey checks the tonnes loaded by measuring how much deeper the ship sits in the water, with the necessary adjustments. Their quote? Roughly TEN TIMES the Indian rate we found through our market checks.We’re buying through our foreign subsidiary. Apparently, that was enough to warrant this generosity towards themselves. Bhai, we have more shipments coming. Charge fairly, do your job well, and we’ll keep coming back. Why try to recover ten shipments’ earnings from one? Roz sone ka anda chahiye, ya pet cheer kar sab aaj hi nikaalna hai? India Inc, foreign clients also know how to compare prices. #IndiaInc #BusinessEthics #InternationalTrade #Shipping #Deewaar
