In this new area of highly competitive world, Globalization led the market to be
more competitive and innovative. As a result, there is greater demand for
aggressive marketing in this sector. The concept of sellers market has gradually
shifted into buyers market.
Few decades back a car was perceived to be luxury good a treated as a status
symbol. But we can observer the major shift from this perception. Now days the
car is considered as a necessity good. Thanks to competitive world, job
requirement, and changing trends. Much consideration is given not only the price
but also to the Mileage, Resale service, running cost, and safety. As a result we
see greater demand for diesel vehicles, and TATA INDICA is found to be more
effective diesel vehicle in its segment.
Stiff market competition coupled with new and improved product line segments is the
emerging trend. As a part of study curriculum for my MBA, it is quite appropriate to
study the nature and quality of service provided by a car manufacturer through various
dealers service stations. My Marketing Research objective is to find out the reason
Why there is less demand for petrol version of Indica and how the sales and its
awareness can be increased

LITERATURE REVIEW
The world is full of stimuli. A stimulus is any unit of input affecting one or more of the
five senses sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. The process by which we select,
organizing interprets these stimuli into a meaningful and coherent picture is called
perception.
In essence, perception is how we see the world around us and how we recognize that we
need some help in making a purchase decision. People cannot perceive every stimulus
in their environment. Therefore, they use selective exposure to notice and which to
ignore. The importance of the concept of care and the actions that define it were found
to be critically important for a customer's total satisfaction. The importance of the care
phase in the total customer process was found to increase as the customer relationship
matures.
Customer Perception Audits:
Every time you lose a customer, theres a reason why. Do you really know what your
customers think about your business, your offerings, or your service? Are they having
good or bad experiences? Are you equipped with the insight you need to improve
customer satisfaction and loyalty, and make the changes that matter? Entrepreneurs are
often too busy to really take the time to tap into what customers are really thinking. But
customers hold the key. They know what you need to do to dramatically increase the
value you deliver to them. Why keep this data a secret? Uncovering and understanding
it will give you what you need to be the best, generate higher sales and referrals and
earn repeat business.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:-
TATA Indica is the first car manufactured WHOLLY BY AN Indian firm. Initially after
its launch it had to face a lot of complaints and in February 2001 an improved version
of the car was launched as TATA INDICA V2. The petrol version of TATA INDICA
V2 XETA was introduced in January 2006 in north Karnataka, especially in Hubli-
Dharwad Region; Manickbag Automobiles is the only Dealer of TATA INDICA. The
petrol version of TATA INDICA V2 XETA was unable to make a Niche for itself.
After the preliminary data collection and interaction with Dealers and Customers, we
framed our Sub-Marketing Problems to the above stated Market Research Problem as:
What is the impact of promotional activities on purchase of any Indica car?
What are the factors used by customer while purchasing a car?
What is the impact quality of product on the purchase?
What is the impact of Pre and post purchase services offered to the Customers?
What is the effect of Price on the Purchase decision?
By considering the above Marketing problem and sub-Marketing problems we
carried out market research work and tried to bring the best data by which we
will able to arrive at conclusions regarding the above problems and to give few
recommendations to tackle the problem.

company is the world's fifth largest medium and heavy commercial vehicle
manufacturer.
The company's 22,000 employees are guided by the vision to be best in the manner
in which we operate best in the products we deliver and best in our value system and
ethics.
Established in 1945, Tata Motors' presence indeed cuts across the length and breadth
of India. Over 3.5 million Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads, since the first rolled out
in 1954. The company's manufacturing base is spread across Jamshedpur, Pune and
Lucknow, supported by a nation-wide dealership, sales, services and spare parts
network comprising about 1,200 touch points.
Tata Motors, the first company from India's engineering sector to be listed in the New
York Stock Exchange (September 2004), has also emerged as a global automotive
company. In 2004, it acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, Korea's
second largest truck maker. The rechristened Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles
Company has already begun to launch new products.

them into customer-desired offerings through leading edge R&D.
With 1,400 engineers and scientists, the company's Engineering Research Centre,
established in 1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and products. It was Tata
Motors, which developed the first indigenously developed Light Commercial Vehicle,
India's first Sports Utility Vehicle and, in 1998, the Tata Indica, India's first fully
indigenous passenger car. Within two years of launch, Tata Indica became India's
largest selling car in its segment.
The pace of new product development has quickened. In 2005, Tata Motors created a
new segment by launching the Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed mini-
truck. The years to come will see the introduction of several other innovative vehicles,
all rooted in emerging customer needs. R&D is also focusing on environment-friendly
technologies in emissions and alternative fuels.

Sound in a variety of ways. These include reducing hazardous materials in vehicle
components, developing extended life lubricants, fluids and using ozone-friendly
refrigerants. Tata Motors has been making conscious effort in the implementation of
several environmentally sensitive technologies in manufacturing processes. The
Company uses some of the world's most advanced equipment for emission check and
control.
Tata Motors concern is manifested by a dual approach -
1) Reduction of environmental pollution and regular pollution control drives
2) Restoration of ecological balance.
Our endeavors towards environment protection are soil and water conservation
programmes and extensive tree plantation drives. Tata Motors is committed to
restoring and preserving environmental balance, by reducing waste and pollutants,
conserving resources and recycling materials.
Reducing Pollution:
Tata Motors has been at the forefront of the Indian automobile industry's anti-
pollution efforts by introducing cleaner engines. It is the first Indian Company to
introduce vehicles with Euro norms well ahead of the mandated dates. Tata
Motors' joint venture with Cummins Engine Company, USA, in 1992, was a
pioneering effort to introduce emission control technology for India. Over the years,
Tata Motors has also made investments in setting up of an advanced emission-testing
laboratory. With the intention of protecting the environment, Tata Motors has
upgraded the performance of its entire range of four and six cylinder engines to

Meet international emission standards. This has been accomplished with the help of
world-renowned engine consultants like Ricardo and AVL. These engines are used in
Tata Motors vehicles in the Indian market, as well as in over 70 export markets.
Tata Motors is constantly working towards developing alternative fuel engine
technologies. It has manufactured CNG version of buses and followed it up with a
CNG version of its passenger car, the Indica
Restoring Ecological Balance:
Tata Motors has set up effluent treatment facilities in its plants, to avoid release of
polluted water into the ecosystem. In Pune, the treated water is conserved in lakes
attracting various species of birds from around the world thus turning the space into a
green belt.
Tree plantation programmes involving villagers and Tata Motors employees, have
turned acres of barren village green. Tata Motors has planted as many as 80,000 trees
in the works and the township and more than 2.4 million trees have been planted in
Jamshedpur region. Over half a million trees have been planted in the Poona region.
Tata Motors has directed all its suppliers to package their products in alternate
material instead of wood.

Product Profile:
Indica V2 Xeta:
The new Indica V2 Xeta. Its extra Efficiency Torque Advantage petrol engine delivers
12.4 kgm torques, for a smoother and more responsive drive. With instant pick up and
fewer gear changes in stop-start city traffic.
A new and refined version of Indica called Indica V2 Xeta. Introduced in the local
market by Sipradi Trading Private Limited (STPL) - the authorized dealers of Tata
Motors for Nepal - Xeta is an abbreviation for extra Efficient Torque Advantage engine.
Available in five different colors, including lagoon blue, palm green and salsa red,
Indica V2 Xeta comes in five different models, namely, GL, GLE, GLF, GLG and
GLX.
Step into the Xeta:
Tata Indica V2 Xeta is the latest model from Tata Motors. Equipped with 475 SI Multi
Point Fuel Injection System with 32-bit microprocessor, Xeta's 1.4 liter extra fuel
Efficient Torque Advantage (XETA) petrol engine delivers an impressive mileage of 14
kmpl.
TATA Motors' focus has rightfully been centered on the diesel version of its small car
the Indica V2. Most of the cars it sells continue to be diesel powered, though petrol
engine variants have also been available all along. The technology for the Indica's petrol
engine originally came from Le Moto Modern of France, but the engine has

seen considerable refinement since. Yet, two factors must have hampered higher sales
volumes for the Indica and the Indigo petrol variants.
Tata Motors' relative lack of experience with petrol compared to other small-car
manufacturers with established credentials in this segment, and the fact that the `big and
powerful' tag is not necessarily a positive attribute for a petrol car in the excessively
fuel-efficiency conscious small-car segment.
The recently re-launched petrol version, the Indica XETA, could fit the bill, as the
changes to the car's `heart' seem to be capable of offering better fuel efficiency.
Uniqueness:
The changes to the new Indica V2 XETA (acronym for extra fuel Efficient, Torque
Advantage) are really only in the engine department, though the new beige interior
theme also does add a bit of a premium quality to the car. Tata
Motors' reason for taking up the 1.4 liter petrol engine was clearly to improve its fuel
efficiency ranking.
The Indica V2's engine handicap came not just from the fact that it was the biggest in
the small-car segment. The new XETA engine's improved refinement is easily
recognizable. A reduction in noise and vibration levels is a bonus, coming with the
changes that were primarily targeted at improving the engine's fuel efficiency.
The engine's pistons and rings have also been re-engineered to reduce the weight and
width of the ring to achieve a lowering of friction, which will also enable a lowering of
fuel consumption in the long run. In addition, a new two-part aluminum oil sump

and plastic timing covers have been incorporated to improve the XETA's NVH (noise,
vibration and harshness) packaging.
Fuel efficiency of the new XETA should be better than its predecessor by up to 15-20
per cent. Expect mileage numbers of 10-12 kmpl in city driving conditions.
The new XETA has the potential to change the Indica's image of being a guzzler. But
finish quality and reliability will still be issues that Tata Motors will have to tackle to be
considered equal amongst the petrol-driven hatches in the market.

(Aero dynamic), thus the company should reduce the shape of the bonnet.

its Advertisements through local Medias.
