...THE INDIAN AUTOMOBILE SECTOR- HPL PROJECT Introduction The term automotive was created from Greek autos (self), and Latin motivus (of motion) to represent any form of self-powered vehicle. The Indian automotive industry has emerged as a 'sunrise sector' in the Indian economy. India is emerging as one of the world's fastest growing passenger car markets and second largest two wheeler manufacturer. It is also home for the largest motor cycle manufacturer and fifth largest commercial vehicle manufacturer. The automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest growing globally. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the sixth largest in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.9 million units in 2011.[1] According to recent reports, India overtook Brazil and became the sixth largest passenger vehicle producer in the world (beating such old and new auto makers as Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain, France, Brazil), growing 16 to 18 per cent to sell around three million units in the course of 2011-12.[2] In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger cars, behind Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.[3] In 2010, India beat Thailand to become Asia's third largest exporter of passenger cars.

...Indian industry environment and their impact in respect of the following sectors: a) Telecom b) Automobile c) Shipping ARPIT JAIN: 12P189 Indian Industries The Indian economy has survived the global downturn very well. It has posted one of the highest rates of economic growth in the world despite other major industrial giants lagging behind. At the end of 2009, the Indian economy was growing at 7% a year. The strongest growth was coming from the manufacturing and construction sector and the weakest section was agriculture. The drawback of such a rapid economic expansion is a rise in inflation. The economy of India is the eleventh largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. Post independence the country went into a fast paced economic growth which was further fuelled by the free market principles started in the 1990’s which welcomed foreign investments. It has been predicted by leading Economists around the world that by 2020, India will be among the leading economies of the world. Four key industrial economic sectors are identified in India. The primary sector, largely extract raw material and they are mining and farming industries. In the secondary sector, refining, construction, and manufacturing are included. The tertiary sector deals with services and distribution of manufactured goods.

...Bajaj Auto Ltd Situational Analysis: Indian economy has undergone tremendous changes during the 1980’s and 1990’s. The Indian industrial sector was protected from the international competition by the government of India during the 1980’s. During the 1990’s the economic crisis forced the Indian government to open up the Indian economy. With the opening of the Indian economy the competition for the industrial sector especially the automobile sector was severely hit. Now even the foreign brand automotives could compete in the domestic market without any tariff barriers or any other interventions. This meant that the local industries had to compete with the international brands without any kind of protection. Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL) found that its domestic market declined by 5% in the year 1991-1992. Bajaj had set a goal to protect its dominance in the Indian market and increase its exports to 15% of total sales by 1998. In the domestic market it was facing a stiff competition from Hero Honda and Kinetic Honda. The main problems of the BAL lied in its improper inventory management, higher average cycle time for launching a new product, not very advanced R&D facilities. To overcome these shortcomings the company did modernize itself but it was important for the company to sustain the tough competition. Problem Statement: It was necessary for the company to reinvent itself to sustain competition. The sales have been falling drastically and to make things worse its experience...

...PEST Analysis by 100106 on MARCH 31, 2011 PEST Analysis Political: In the next few years, China is saying that they are going to be investing billions of dollars into Hybrid technology. Honda is a automobile company who is well known for developing ad researching hybrid technology. They have been on the forefront of this new technology and for this reason they will be a top choice for this new hybrid technology. They will need to show the Chinese government that their technology is worth investing in. If they manage to do this, they will be bale to receive large amounts of money to use for the development of new hybrid technology. The Chinese government is also aiming to put some millions of hybrid cars into use within China within the next few years. Seeing as how Honda is already producing hybrid cars, they will be able to expand and increase the production of these cars to fill the wishes of the Chinese government. There are also however, restrictions being placed on car ownership is many large Chinese cities. This is to reduce congestion and traffic. This means that because of possible increases in taxes and/or legal restrictions, there may be a fall in demand for cars, which will result in Honda losing sales and perhaps revenue. Economical: Oil prices have recently been rising and will most probably continue to rise as the world’s oil sources are depleted. This means that there will be a fall in demand for petrol cars and a rise in demand for Hybrid cars...

...Automobile Industry The auto manufacturing industry is considered to be highly capital and labor intensive. The major costs for producing and selling automobiles include: * Labor - While machines and robots are playing a greater role in manufacturing vehicles, there are still substantial labor costs in designing and engineering automobiles. * Advertising – Each year automakers spend billions on print and broadcast advertising, furthermore, they spent large amounts of money on market research to anticipate consumer trends and preferences. The auto market is thought to be made primarily of automakers, but auto parts makes up another lucrative sector of the market. The major areas of auto parts manufacturing are: * Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) - The big auto manufacturers do produce some of their own parts, but they can't produce every part and component that goes into a new vehicle. Companies in this industry manufacture everything from door handles to seats. * Replacement Parts Production and Distribution - These are the parts that are replaced after the purchase of a vehicle. Air filters, oil filters and replacement lights are examples of products from this area of the sector. * Rubber Fabrication - This includes everything from tires, hoses, belts, etc. In auto industry, a large proportion of revenue comes from selling automobiles. The parts market is even more lucrative. For example, a new car might cost $18,000 to buy, but if you bought...

...The German government and the contribution of it to the national automotive industry It is difficult to assess the contribution of the German government to the national automotive industry especially as it has evolved over the last several decades. Germany was one of the first nations to embrace the automobile industry when the technology first emerged in the late nineteenth century. This new technology chimed with the technological orientation of the country which, at the time and as now, was one of the most developed countries in the world. The Germans embraced the practicalities of the technology but also the fun of it and early automobile racing was dominated by German and Italian racers. At the time a number of Marques emerged that have withstood the test of time including, of course, Mercedes Benz, BMW (Bavarian Motor Works), Maybach and so forth. Arguably, and somewhat unfortunately, the greatest contribution of any German government to its national automotive industry - and possibly the greatest contribution of any government to its national automotive industry - was under the Nazi regime (1933-45). The Volkswagen (literally, the People’s Car), democratised automobile use in Germany by bringing to the marketplace a car that the vast proportion of the German public could afford. This had a transformative effect on motor use both within and beyond Germany, and particularly at a time that was only a few years after the end of a devastating economic depression that...

...Turkey’s Automotive Sector Turkey’s automotive sector’s foundations date back to the 1950s. Over recent decades, it has grown substantially, due to two main factors: the large size of the domestic market where individuals were gaining increasing purchasing power as the economy developed; and the enormous expansion of international trade especially following the Customs Union Agreement signed with the EU in 1996. These fundamental factors also drive the long-term growth expectations. In recent years, the automotive sector has become our country’s leading exporter, with total exports of USD 16.9 billion in 2009, which constituted 17.4 percent of Turkey’s total export revenues.1 Exports were USD 8.7 billion in the first six months of 2010. In 2010, demand patterns are likely to change for the Turkish automotive sector. Considering the first half of 2010, the total production reached 547,022 vehicles, a jump of 39 percent compared with the same period of 2009. Also exports and imports increased by 4.5 percent and 43.8 percent respectively.2 As the effects of the global financial crisis recede, it is expected that the Turkish automotive sector will reach average annual growth rates of 4.5-5 percent per year in 2011 and follow this trend through till 2013. There are 22 automotive manufacturers in Turkey. The total capacity of the OSD members (15 manufacturers including two tractor manufacturers) amounted to 1,561,155 vehicles in 2010.18 The capacity seemed to stay stable for the...

...INTRODUCTION Since the first car rolled out on the streets of Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1898, the Automobile Industry of India has come a long way. During its early stages the auto industry was overlooked by the then Government and the policies were also not favorable. The liberalization policy and various tax relief by the Govt. of India in recent years has made remarkable impacts on Indian Automobile Industry. Indian auto industry, which is currently growing at the pace of around 18 % per annum, has become a hot destination for global auto players like Volvo, General Motors and Ford. A well developed transportation system plays a key role in the development of an economy, and India is no exception to it. With the growth of transportation system the Automotive Industry of India is also growing at rapid speed, occupying an important place on the 'canvas' of Indian economy. Today Indian automotive industry is fully capable in producing various kinds of vehicles and can be divided into 03 broad categories: Cars, two-wheelers and heavy vehicles. ← The first automobile in India rolled in 1897 in Bombay. ← India is being recognized as potential emerging auto market. ← Foreign players are adding to their investments in Indian auto industry. ← Within two-wheelers, motorcycles contribute 80% of the segment size. ← Unlike the USA, the Indian passenger vehicle market is dominated by cars (79%). ← Tata Motors dominates over 60% of the Indian commercial vehicle...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: From the very beginning of automobile industry, product and branding strategies are considered as one of the major functions performed by the manufacturers. What is interesting that, with the passage of time, its importance is increasing significantly. Even though the voyage of automobile commenced in 1335 by Guido da Vigevano, in true sense there was not any considerable development until 1885, when Karl Benz invented the first practical automobile. Since then the automobile industry has gone a long way consisting of a number of renowned companies. In this industry, the core product is transportation and communication facility backed by actual and augmented product. Product line decision involves Line stretching and Line filling. In this industry, Mercedes-Benz lengthens its product line by using both line stretching and line filling. Since the early branding era, the branding strategies have changed throughout the time. Branding is, now-a-days, influencing the consumer buying behavior to a greater extent. As such manufacturers are now concentrating more on brand placement rather than product placement. They are developing brand loyalty in the minds of their customers in order to achieve high retention rate. Automobile companies can build up both product and corporate brand, but the recent trend is towards emphasizing on corporate branding. Previously it was thought that Branding is necessary from the sellers point of view to differentiate own products,...
