NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:India Solid Waste Management Vehicles Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019 http://www.reportlinker.com/p02350445/India-Solid-Waste-Management-Vehicles-Market-Forecast-and-Opportunities-2019.html
