Executive summary

Introduction

The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy the needs and wants of the customers.

India has long-term potential to become a significant vehicle market. It has huge

population of nearly one billion people (of which 150-250 million are middle class),

and a current vehicle population of 3.5 million (equivalent to only 3.4 cars per 1000

people).

In spite of numerous market deterrents, the Indian automotive market has become the

focus of attention as several major auto manufacturers have announced large capital

investment plans to be carried out in the near future.

Prior to the early 90’s there were only four car companies manufacturing and selling

cars in India. Foreign investment was effectively banned and foreign technology

transfers were subject to government approvals. By 1993 the Indian government deli

censed the Indian car industry, which eased other foreign auto manufacture’s entry

into the market first under joint partnerships, then wholly owned subsidiaries.

Currently, India is in the midst of an economic-recovery where vehicle sales rose 47

percent to 73,000 units in March 2000, up from 49,410 units in March 1999. The

Indian passenger car industry has grown more than ten times in the last ten years with

sales increasing to more than four-lack vehicle.

Now a days due to change in trends in the automobiles the market scenario is

changing on a rapid phase so the same case in the auto accessory market . people are

more concern about good looks of the car and other features and facilities. The huge

demand in accessory market too, many of the car users go for after market

upgradation.

39% of the respondents have agreed with this statement whereas the next 31%

respondents say branded accessories are expensive.




The s tudy helped me gain valuable insights in Opportuni ty

Analysis and Consumer Behavior , towards potent ial for MGA. This

project t i t led has been a knowledge gaining experience for me. By

interact ing with the responde nts and making vis i ts to the customers .

I have been able to understand that understanding customers is an art

and i t takes a very s t rong brand image for a company to re tain i tsel f

in the market . The resul ts of the survey proved to be both

encouraging and part ly discouraging too. The respondents were not

very posi t ive aboutMGA, which was qui te discouraging and a

negat ive s ign for the company. The segment for which MARUTI

should cater to is a price sensi t ive segment , so as the organizat ion

should focus on highl ight ing the addit ional perquis i tes that they

would provide with the car , i t i s going to bond wel l wi th the targeted

market . Though there are many compet i tors in the market for this

segment , the company has an advantage, but s t i l l i t cannot rule out

the local dealers . But I bel ieve that MARUTI has what i t takes to

become a name to reckon with in the market and I offer my best

wishes for the same and hope that my work wil l be of some use for

the company.

The research was taken looking to the scope in the I ndian automobile

industry. Thus the MGA different iated themselves from there

compet i tors to promote their products and t ry to make their market

monopoly in the accessory market .

The research shows the people are interested to know about the

MGA.

The potent ial for MGA in twin ci ty. This indicates an oppor tuni ty for

RNS Motors in the Indian automobile industry. The MARUTI have to

concentrate on promotional act ivi t ies and different iat ing their

product .




Schemes & offers given by the company influence the custo mer to

change their decis ion




RECOMMENDATION

Create more awareness of the Maruti Genuine Accessory.

Company should concentrate on the marketing aspects of accessory.

Along with Local dealer should conduct demonstration and exposure of

accessory for existing car owners and potential customers.

Dealer should co-ordinate with company to conduct exhibition for all

types of Maruti models accessory manufactured and marketed by MGA.

Create more awareness of the dealers in the located city.

Comparing the price factors the MGA is too high from other local

accessory provider; company has to take some actions for the convenience

of the customers.

Create more advertisements in the local market.

Maintain Customer Database and follow-up for the new products launch

and promotion activities.




SECTION 01

INDUSTRY PROFILE

(1.1) BRIEF HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILES -

The automobile industry has changed the way people live and work. The earliest of modern

cars was manufactured in the year 1895. Shortly the first appearance of the car followed in

India. As the century turned, three cars were imported in Mumbai (India). Within decade

there were total of 1025 cars in the city.

The dawn of automobile actually goes back to 4000 years when the first wheel was used

for transportation in India. In the beginning of 15th century Portuguese arrived in China

and the interaction of the two cultures led to a variety of new technologies, including the

creation of a wheel that turned under its own power. By 1600s small steam-powered engine

models was developed, but it took another century before a full-sized engine-powered

vehicle was created.

The actual horseless carriage was introduced in the year 1893 by brothers Charles and

Frank Duryea. It was the first internal-combustion motor car of America, and it was

followed by Henry Ford's first experimental car that same year.

One of the highest-rated early luxury automobiles was the 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost

that featured a quiet 6-cylinder engine, leather interior, folding windscreens and hood, and

an aluminum body. It was usually driven by chauffeurs and emphasis was on comfort and

style rather than speed.

During the 1920s, the cars exhibited design refinements such as balloon tires, pressed-steel




wheels, and four-wheel brakes. Graham Paige DC Phaeton of 1929 featured an 8-cylinder

engine and an aluminum body.

The 1937 Pontiac De Luxe sedan had roomy interior and rear-hinged back door that suited

more to the needs of families. In 1930s, vehicles were less boxy and more streamlined than

their predecessors. The 1940s saw features like automatic transmission, sealed-beam

headlights, and tubeless tires.

The year 1957 brought powerful high-performance cars such as Mercedes-Benz 300SL. It

was built on compact and stylized lines, and was capable of 230 kmh (144 mph).

Modern cars are generally light, aerodynamically shaped, and compact.




(1.2) GROWTH OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA-

Following India's growing openness, the arrival of new and existing models, easy

availability of finance at relatively low rate of interest and price discounts offered by the

dealers and manufacturers all have stirred the demand for vehicles and a strong growth of

the Indian automobile industry.

The Indian auto industry, worth US$ 34 billion in 2006, has grown at a CAGR of 14 per cent

over the last five years with total sales of vehicles reaching around 9 million vehicles in 2005-

06. That number is likely to see a significant boost, given that the first half of 2006-07 has

already witnessed a staggering growth rate of 17.12 per cent. Domestic car sales for the April-

September 2006 period stood at an impressive 4.86 million vehicles, including cars, two-

wheelers and commercial vehicles. According to industry experts, if this trend continues, sales

could touch 10 million by March 2007, clocking an annual growth rate of 20 per cent.

Destination India

India is on every major global automobile player’s roadmap, and the reasons for the

growth are:

India is the second largest two-wheeler market in the world

Fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world

11th largest passenger car market in the world

Expected to be the seventh largest by 2016

Robust production

India’s car production capacity is in for a US$ 2 billion boost. Auto majors have

announced massive investment plans which will push the country’s car production

past the psychological 2 million mark by the end of fiscal 2006-07, up 70 per cent

from 1.4 million units now. Even at 2 million, India, which stood at No.11 among

global car producing nations, will move two steps ahead, past UK (1.6 million) and

Canada (1.35 million). It will be neck and neck with Brazil’s 2-million capacities at

No.8.




The automobile industry witnessed a growth of 19.35 percent in April-July 2006

when compared to April-July 2005, as is evident from this year’s production trends.

Domestic Sales

Increased affluence, wider selection and the ready availability of car loans is driving

the Indian car market through the roof. During the last five years (2000-05), the

production of passenger cars in India increased by more than 100 per cent. India

achieved the sales of 1.11 million vehicles last year (2005).

Domestic sales have been growing at a clipping pace:

Passenger car sales rose by 22.84 per cent during April-September 2006,

compared to the corresponding period n 2005.

The cumulative growth of overall sales of passenger vehicles during April-

September of 2006-07 was 20.73 percent.

Utility Vehicle (UVs) sales grew at 12.85 per cent during the same period.

Overall, the commercial vehicles segment grew at 36.96 per cent. Growth of

Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles was 39.92 per cent. Light

Commercial Vehicles also performed well with a growth of 32.86 percent.

Exports

India is fast emerging as a manufacturing base for car exports. According to the

Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), a total of 89,338 vehicles were

exported in September 2006, a 58.07 per cent jump as compared to the same month

last year. While passenger vehicle exports grew at 13.15 per cent, two-wheelers and

commercial vehicle exports grew at 27.80 per cent.

German luxury car maker Audi AG is preparing to drive into India a range of

sporty, lifestyle cars like S8 and RS4 early next year. The year 2007 will also

mark Audi's entry into merchandising in Indian car bazaar.




(1.3) Economic impact-

On the canvas of the Indian Economy, Auto Industry occupies a prominent

place. Due to its deep forward and backward linkages with several key segments of

the economy, automotive industry has a strong multiplier effect and is capable of

being the driver of economic growth. A sound transportation system plays a pivotal

role in the country's rapid economic and industrial development. The well-developed

Indian automotive industry ably fulfils this catalytic role by producing a wide variety

of vehicles: passenger cars, light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, multi-

utility vehicles such as jeeps, scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, three wheelers, tractors

etc.

The automotive sector is one of the core industries of the Indian economy,

whose prospect is reflective of the economic resilience of the country. With 4%

contribution to the GDP and nearly 5% of the total industrial output, the automotive

sector has become a significant contributor to the exchequer. Continuous economic

liberalization over the years by the government of India has resulted in making India

as one of the prime business destination for many global automotive players. The

automobile industry witnessed a growth of 19.35 percent in April July 2006 when

compared to April July 2005.

The Indian automobile Industry has a mix of large domestic private players such

as Tata, Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj, Hero Honda and major international players

including GM, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Hyundai and Volvo.




Maintenance is something most of us ignore, until our vehicle stops

functioning, that is. And then we wonder what went wrong, where. Maintenance is

one of the most serious aspects of ownership. It determines the longevity,

performance and reliability of whichever vehicle you drive. Looking after your

vehicle involves more than taking care of its external coat of paint and keeping it

clean and shiny.

Maintenance means taking care of all the parts, even those that are inside the bonnet.

These are the ones that directly concern the performance of your vehicle. Besides

taking it to the service station at regular periods, it is a good idea to go through the

owner's manual that will give a fair idea about its routine maintenance.

Checking the battery, keeping a check on the oils, changing the oils, checking the

electrical system, are some of the absolutely unavoidable things to keep your vehicle

in good shape. Keeping a log book in which you keep all the details regarding repair,

maintenance, routine check-ups etc. will not only give you an accurate idea of what

needs to be done when.

AUTO ACCESSORIES INDUSTRY

The Indian auto accessories retail market is quite fragmented and unorganized

and is mainly concentrated in four metros. The industry's product mix can be broken

down into three areas: Replacement parts, maintenance items and accessories.

Replacement parts typically include both new and rebuilt parts used in repairing

vehicles (alternators, water pumps, batteries, brake pads, etc.). Maintenance items are

those used to maintain performance and aesthetics of vehicles (motor oil, fuses, other

fluids, car wash and wax formulas). Accessory items are those which are discretionary

and personal in preference. These include floor mats, air fresheners, seat covers and

so on.




There are two segments that one can delineate in the auto accessories retail segment:

The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) market and the Do-It-For-Me segment (DIFM). The DIY

market is comprised of individuals performing routine maintenance on their vehicles.

These consumers purchase replacement parts, lubricants and other ancillary products

from aftermarket parts retailers. The most common types of maintenance performed

by this segment is basic in nature (oil changes, batteries, radiator flushes, etc.). The

DIFM segment is also important for the industry as it caters to the needs of

professional installers, mechanics and garages performing maintenance for individual

consumers. These customers are typically less price sensitive than individuals since

they pass through costs to the end consumer. The margins in the DIFM market are a

bit tighter due to competition among suppliers while the DIY segment in India is still

in a very nascent.

Car Audio

One of the conspicuous products which have gained prominence in the

automotive retail market is the car audio. The Indian car audio market is estimated at

Rs 600 crore, a majority of which is dominated by unorganized players and the grey

market. The remaining one faces competition from major brands like Kenwood,

Blaupunkt and Sony among others. Bose Corporation for example, has an exclusive

arrangement with Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Audi for car audio systems. About 80

per cent turnover of Blaupunkt International – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bosch

Group, comes from its tie-up with automobile companies.

In contrast, for its Indian operations, a large portion of its turnover is from

sales to retail customers and a small share coming from its tie-up with automobile

makers such as Tata Motors, Hyundai Motors India, Ford India and Mahindra &

Mahindra. This indicates the level of focus needed in the auto accessories retail




market in India. Blaupunkt's new retail strategy aims at providing a platform for

customers to experience the car entertainment systems by displaying an entire range

of Blaupunkt products such as head units, speakers, amplifiers and other accessories

as well as car entertainment modules such as DVD players, screens and surround

sound systems.

IT Accessories

A country that boasts of being the information technology super power of the

world, India has little presence in IT based application in automobile retail sector. In

developed countries, electronic maps play a key role in the development of advanced

in-car infotainment technology, particularly in the application of navigation systems.

However, their functions have been limited to monitoring and anti-theft. Competition

has been focused on audio players and low-cost devices for safety and security

purposes. The gradual penetration into cars of a range of new technologies, including

video players, LCD displays, navigation, telematics and hands-free telephony is set to

open up new areas of competition even as it creates considerable growth

opportunities. Navigation, rear seat entertainment (RSE), telephony and telematics

1.3 FUTURE VIEW OF THE INDUSTRY

With production of six million two-wheelers, one million passenger cars and

multi utility vehicles (MUV) and 0.3 million commercials vehicles, the automobile

industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India today. Car ownership too is

growing rapidly in India with more and more car manufacturers investing in the

market. Besides this, since people are spending more time in their cars they want to

use it productively. And very soon, Indian drivers would be demanding advanced

safety and security and car infotainment features of the global market. According to

Drue Freeman, VP, Global Automotive Marketing and Sales, Philips Semiconductors,

"The Indian automotive market is poised for a rapid growth and technological

advancement which will revolutionize the role of the car in the Indian society." From




the time the driver approaches the car to unlock the door, until the time he arrives

safely at his destination, technology is transforming every step of the journey.

To begin with; How about a Maruti Wagon R with an Anti Lock Braking

system (ABS) + an Electronic Brake Distribution system (EBD), front and side

airbags for the driver and the co-driver, front seat belt pretensioners, seat belt warning

lights and doors ajar warning system, as standard features? Although these features

are not available in the Indian version, they come as standard ones in the Japanese

version. Similarly the Chinese version of the Toyota Corolla has ABS, Electronic

Brake Force Distribution and driver assistance systems like Vehicle Distance

Measuring Radar and Back Draft Radar system as standard features which are

currently unknown to Indian buyers. A decade ago, a car was merely a means of

transport and considered to be a luxury. But today although it is still a status symbol,

it is turning out to be a necessity.

Complementing this transformation, there is also a big change in the extent of

convenience demanded and electronic features that drivers are looking for in cars. A

sensor is primarily a sensing device that senses a command and delivers a response to

the driver via the instrument cluster. Though there are a number of sensors in

automobiles some common ones in Indian vehicles are temperature sensors that sense

the coolant temperature, engine temperature, engine oil temperature, level sensors that

sense the fuel level, engine oil level and brake oil level and speed sensors in power

train.

Common applications for sensors include power train, fuel system, braking

system, exhaust system, climate control and a steering system. On the other hand,

with increasing demand for additional electronic features, the tendency to pay a little

extra for such features is adding to the number of facilities operated by electronic

sensors. Consider the following changes in automobile technology largely due to

developments in sensor technology in the last one year.

* Automatic wipers:




Sensors located on the inner side of the windshield sense the pressure at which

the rain drops on the windscreen and control the wiper speed accordingly. This

technology is already in India and is available in Hyundai Sonata, Honda CRV,

Accord, Ford Endeavor and Toyota Camry.

* Electronically adjustable side mirrors:

Mirrors on either side can be controlled by the driver via a knob on the

steering wheel or on the inner door handle. It also allows the driver to fold the mirrors

once the car is parked. This feature is available in Hyundai Sonata, Honda Accord,

CRV, Ford Endeavor, Mondeo, Toyota Camry and Corolla. This technology has been

very successful and appreciated in cars such as Toyota Corolla and Honda Accord.

* ABS:

Anti-Lock Braking System is available in Hyundai Santro and Getz as

optional features. Chevrolet Optra is due to launch a new version with the ABS

feature. ²Intelligent Night Vision System: The system uses two infrared cameras,

placed under the headlamps, to sense infrared heat-emitting objects, which could be

beyond the range of illumination from the headlamps. Once the system identifies a

pedestrian, it sends a signal via a sensor and delivers a warning signal

Auto Components

Any automobile is the assembly of several auto parts

with each part contributing to its machinery and

The s tudy helped me gain valuable insights in Opportuni ty

Analysis and Consumer Behavior , towards potent ial for MGA. This

project t i t led has been a knowledge gaining experience for me. By

interact ing with the respondents and making vis i ts to the customers .

I have been able to understand that understanding customers is an art

and i t takes a very s t rong brand image for a company to re tai n i tsel f

in the market . The resul ts of the survey proved to be both

encouraging and part ly discouraging too. The respondents were not

very posi t ive aboutMGA, which was qui te discouraging and a




negat ive s ign for the company. The segment for which MARUTI

should cater to is a price sensi t ive segment , so as the organizat ion

should focus on highl ight ing the addit ional perquis i tes that they

would provide with the car , i t i s going to bond wel l wi th the targeted

market . Though there are many compet i tors in the mar ket for this

segment , the company has an advantage, but s t i l l i t cannot rule out

the local dealers . But I bel ieve that MARUTI has what i t takes to

become a name to reckon with in the market and I offer my best

wishes for the same and hope that my work wil l be of some use for

the company.

The research was taken looking to the scope in the Indian automobile

industry. Thus the MGA different iated themselves from there

compet i tors to promote their products and t ry to make their market

monopoly in the accessory m arket .

The research shows the people are interested to know about the

MGA.

The potent ial for MGA in twin ci ty. This indicates an oppor tuni ty for

RNS Motors in the Indian automobile industry. The MARUTI have to

concentrate on promotional act ivi t ies and dif ferent iat ing their

product .

Schemes & offers given by the company influence the customer to

change their decis ion




RECOMMENDATION

Create more awareness of the Maruti Genuine Accessory.

Company should concentrate on the marketing aspects of accessory.

Along with Local dealer should conduct demonstration and exposure of

accessory for existing car owners and potential customers.

Dealer should co-ordinate with company to conduct exhibition for all

types of Maruti models accessory manufactured and marketed by MGA.

Create more awareness of the dealers in the located city.

Comparing the price factors the MGA is too high from other local

accessory provider; company has to take some actions for the convenience

of the customers.

Create more advertisements in the local market.

Maintain Customer Database and follow-up for the new products launch

and promotion activities.
