...Indian Auto Industry The Indian Auto Industry faired brilliantly in the year 2010 and 2011 so far. We can easily pass the statement that the industry is on a boom currently. After a rough late 2008 and early 2009, the industry has grown with a CAGR of nearly 25% since then. At this rate, the Indian auto market is expected to become the third largest in the world only after US and China. While Japan is also vying for this rank, but Indian auto market with its current growth rate will overtake it sooner or later. Global consultants Booz and Co. in a report has predicted the Indian passenger vehicle market to grow at a rate of 15-20% and auto exports to grow at 8% for the next few years. New production techniques, product innovation, effective after sales service, new plants, enhanced R&D, strengthen distribution network and supply chain etc. To pave the way for future growth, the Indian auto companies will have to evaluate M&A decisions as well. Deals like TATA-Jaguar have already made international mergers a viable option. Therefore, Indian Auto Industry is an important industry for the purpose of this paper’s study. Limitations:- 1) For the study, only top 10 companies from an industry has been selected and not all the companies. Therefore, the results might be affected from downward bias. 2) The researchers were not experts in the industry they were studying. 3) The researchers were not expert in the software used for the purpose of this study and relied heavily on...

...3.5 STRUCTURE OF INDIAN AUTO COMPONENT INDUSTRY Most of the auto component manufacturers are distributed in the north, south, and, western parts of India around major Automotive Vehicle Manufacturers (AVMs). The AVMs contribute largely towards the development of component suppliers through technical and or financial collaborations. These are however, concentrated in some pockets such as Chennai and Bangalore in the south, Pune in the west, the National Capital Region (NCR, which includes New Delhi and its suburban districts) in the north, Jamshedpur and Kolkata in the east and Pithampur in the central region. Following global trends, the Indian automotive sector also has most auto suppliers located close to the manufacturing locations of OEMs, forming regional automotive clusters. Broadly, the three main clusters are centred around Chennai, Pune and the NCR. The Indian automotive component industry is highly fragmented. There are nearly 6,400 players in the sector, of which only about 6 per cent are organised and the remaining 94 per cent are small-scale, unorganized players. In terms of value added, however, the organised players account for nearly 77 percent of the output in the sector. The auto ancillary industry caters to three broad categories of the market: 1) Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) or vehicle manufacturers, that comprises of 25% total demand 2) Replacement market, that comprises 65% of the total demand 3) Export Market, that comprises primarily...

Kher Submitted By Rameez Bagban 03 Shahanawaz Mujawar 11 For the academic year 2014-15 INTRODUCTION: The Indian automobile industry is one of the key drivers of industrial growth and employment, which will gain rapid importance. In order to accelerate and sustain growth in the automotive sector, a roadmap is needed to steer, coordinate and synergize the efforts of all stakeholders. Exogenous and endogenous factors affecting industry also affects the competitiveness of the firms. Competitiveness captures the awareness of both the limitations and the challenges posed by global competition as an exogenous factor. Underdeveloped economies tend to be competitive by producing cheaper products, developing economies by producing better products, and developed economies by producing innovative products continuously. Though Indian automobile manufacturers are manufacturing innovative products and leading India to a new summit, there are various roadblocks, which prevent this industry from being a global player. COMPETITIVENESS DEFINED: Competitiveness has emerged as a paradigm towards the economic development. Michael Porter has defined competitiveness as productivity with which a nation utilizes its human, capital and natural resources. To understand competitiveness, the starting...

This study will take us through the evaluation of external factors using EFE matrix, to the comparison of the company with its competitors (CPM) and study the incentives given by the government to encourage the expansion of the Indian automobile industry. Introduction The Indian Automotive Industry after de-licensing in July 1991 has grown at a spectacular rate on an average of 17% for last few years. The industry has attained a turnover of USD $35.8 billion, (INR 165,000 crores) and an investment of USD 10.9 billion. The industry has provided direct and indirect employment to 13.1 million people. But lately the Indian automobile industry has been going through a low phase since the past 10 months and experts believe that situation is going to sustain in the current financial year that ends in March 2014. Demands continue to remain low as against the expectations of the Indian auto makers, due to the crisis in the economy, increase in fuel prices and loan rates. Until few years ago, this industry boomed with sales but the falling value of Indian rupee is only bringing its depreciation. (Car trade, n.d) The market is divided into four segments namely two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.

...in economic activity of a nation for considerable amount of time based on parameters such as production, demand, employment, real income and real GDP. In this part we try to argue position of Indian four wheeler auto sector in effect of global recession around 2008 and current recession (2012-13) caused by local macroeconomic issues. Global recession (2008 onwards) Though global recession took roots in 2007 itself, Indian auto industry could see its real impact only in 2008 quarters. Global auto industry was in tatters due to loss of credit and reduced liquidity. US sales were fallen by 32%. In India, though the situation wasn’t as grim as US, passage care sales dropped from 1,15,481 in 2007 to 1,13,822 in 2008. Some of the reasons of these impacts were high finance cost and fuel prices. Looking on the lines of industry growth in previous years, Indian auto players were investing in increasing production facilities. Where sudden recessionary situation forced SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturer) to reduce growth forecast from 12.5% to 9.5%. The result was to run the auto manufacturing plants on low production capacity than installed, increasing overheads and reducing margin. Impact in India was not as severe as it was in US and European markets. Mainly because local Indian macroeconomic indexes were still in good shape plus government act quickly to lower the interest rates and infused liquidity in the system. Current Recession (2012-13) This slowdown in the economy...

...Reverse Logistics in Indian Automobile Industry Reverse Logistics is a process in which a product moves in reverse through the supply chain network. It may be used for the purpose of recapturing value of a final product or for even proper disposal. It may also be termed – service, as the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and cost effective transfer of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished products and related information, from consumption to the point of origin, for the purpose of recapturing value of proper disposal. While the primary sectors involved in making use of this process may be classified as the Pharmaceutical Sector, Retail sector, Automobile sector and the Electronics sector, we are mainly about to focus all our attention to the practices of ‘Reverse Logistics’ in the Indian Automobile Industry. To truly know why the whole idea of ‘Reverse Logistics’ assumes significance when considered in terms of the Automobile Industry, first we need to think of the nature of the final product i.e. Automobiles or Vehicles as we call them. The parameter one needs to look at is the life cycle of the product and what happens to the final product once it reaches the end of its useful life. By its very nature, it’s difficult to predict the life cycle of the final product. This is because; it is highly susceptible to the nuances of the human subjectivities. But even if we are unable to predict the duration of the life cycle, we have definitely...

...in order to maintain a normal profit. “The unemployment rate had reached almost 25%; certain sectors, such as certain industries, had unemployment rates of almost 30% to 35%”(Carey Nelson) because of less spending and demand and hence of production. During the great depression the labor demand was decreased and the labor supply was increased, this could have happened by so many A factor, such as productivity was decreased and a decrease in profits by many employers; which this had caused a decrease in demand for labor during the Great Depression. Additionally, the rising wages that occurred until the Great Depression increased the supply for labor as many Americans dreamed of living in a middle class life. Unfortunately, the increase in wages did not follow the increase in supply of labor, leaving many potential employees jobless during the Great Depression. The decrease in the amount of disposable income was also an issue, as many Americans became bankrupt after the collapse of the banks. The result of the dramatic increase in bankruptcies caused the supply of labor to increase dramatically, especially in the blue collar sector, due to the fact that many Americans entered the industrial and manufacturing labor markets looking for an entry-level employment. Factors affecting the demand and growth of the auto sector in India. The...
