Within a short while, he not onlyconsolidated the Group, but also diversified into variousmanufacturing activities, elevating the Group to the status it enjoystill this day.
Rahul Bajaj today heads the Group. He has been the chiefExecutive Officer of Bajaj since 1968 and is recognised as one ofthe most outstanding business leaders in India. As dynamic andambitious as his illustrious predecessors, he has been recognisedand international forums.

INTRODUCTION
Product is the pivot around which all the marketingselectivities revolve without product, all the marketing activities
become useless. People satisfy their needs and wants withproducts. Product can be defined proudly to cover anything thatcan be offered brings to someone to satisfy a need or wantnormally, the ward product brings to mind a physical object suchas on automobile, a television or a soft drink. We normally use theexpression product and services but in thinking about products,their importance lies not so much in owning them as in using them
to satisfy our wants.
Manufacturers get into a lot trouble by paying more attentionto their physical product then to the services produced by these
products. The marketers job is to sell the benefits or services builtinto physical products rather than just describe their physicalfeatures.
Product mix is the set of all the products line and items that aparticular server offers for sale to buyer the product mix covers thefollowing points.

(A) Product Variety
Product variety include the types of product which a
company produces. They may before the same consumers or fordifferent consumers. In other words, the different products maysatisfy similar needs or different needs for e.g. A companymanufacturing soap for both these product satisfy the same needse.g. cleaning etc. But if the same company starts manufacturingtheir oils than this product has a totally different segment ofconsumer. There fore the company will have to all write itsmarketing strategy in order to reach this particular segment of
consumers.
The product variety (line of Bajaj Auto Ltd. are asfollows.)
Scooter Bikes1. Super2. M-80 Major3. M-80 Major 4-Strock4. Spirit5. Saffire6. Legend NXT 27. Chetek 4-Strock8. Wave

product are to be kept in mind while designing a product. Thesemay include product differentiation, features, characteristics,
performance, durability, reparability, style etc.
-
8/6/2019 BAJAJ AUTO MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra
15/58
Design is the interacting force with all the features as its parameters. The design has also to keep in mind the capitalallocated to designing from the companies point of view, a welldesigned product would be pleasant to look at easy to open, installlearn now to use repair and despose etc. The designer has to takeall target market and weights the different benefits and costs.
(C) Features
The term features refers to those inherent characteristics ofthe product which makes it different and unique from the other
products. In other words features means any special pointdifferentiating that particular from other product.
Features are characteristics that supplement the products basic functioning most products can be offered with varyingfeatures. The starting points is stripped down or base version byadding extra features each feature has a change of capturing thedance of additional buyers.
Thus features are the biggest competitive goals in the handsof companies, features make one companys product supplier toother companies producing similar product.
(D) Brand Name

8/6/2019 BAJAJ AUTO MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra
16/58
Brand Name are the most important of any product because itis the identification of the product. Brand Names may be thecompanys name if sold, or it may be a different as the betterknown the brand name, the higher will be the sales.
A powerful brand name is said to have consumer franchise.This is evident when a sufficient number of customer demand that
brand and refuse a substitute even if the price is some what lower.Today, branch name is such a strong force that hardly anythinggoes understand.
(E) After Sales ServiceServices are activities, benefits or satisfaction that are offered
after sale. In other words a service is any act or performance thatone party can offer to another that is essentially intangible and doesnot result in the ownership of anything.
Ferms Hiltprovide high quality services undoubtfully our
perform their less services. For e.g. the manufacturers could makean arrangement with distributors and dealers to provide theseservices. Thus the customers durable market is highly competitivein terms of after sales services.
It sometimes so happens that the company increase a highcost burden in terms of after sales services. But the company which
provides a better after sales service inspite of its cost burden,
benefits in the long run. Thus many companies prefer to incur highcost rather than loosing their potential customers.

17/58
(F) Warranties
Product warranties are an important promotional tool
especially as consumers because more quality sensitive warrantymeans authority or justification that the thing sold is fit for use andthe producer accepts reproducibility for repairs over a period oftime.
The company can promote sales by adding a free warrantyoffer or service contract. Instead of changing for the warranty orservice contract it offers it free or at a reduced price if the
customers buy that product. Thus, warranty forms an importantpart of customer durables customers always except a longer periodof warranty. But the cost burden on the company is very high andthe company has to perform cost benefit analysis while decidingthe period and scope of warranty only that policy should beselected where the benefits cut run the costs. But it is very difficultto calculate and maintain balance by cost and benefits.
The warranty period ofBajaj Auto Ltd. is one year, or twoyear depending a Bajaj Auto Ltd. is policy. The company replacesall the parts and movements period is over the retailer.

INTRODUCTION
Price is the only element of marketing mix that produces
revenue. All the other elements that is product, place andproduction procedure etc. Pricing composition is the first problemfacing the marketing executive.
All profit organizations and many non profit organization settheir prices and product and service. Though most of history pricewere set by buyers and sellers negotiating with each other sellerswould also for higher prices then they expect to receive and the
buyers would offer less than their expect to pay. Throughbargaining they would arrive at an acceptable price. Setting oneprice for all buyers is relatively a modern idea.
Inspite of the high degree of importance given to the pricemix and the fact that the price mix is only revenue earning element,most companies do not handle pricing well price is set independentof rest of the marketing mix rather than as an interstice element of
market positioning strategic and price is not valid enough fordifferent products items and market segments.
Companies handle pricing in a variety of ways. In smallcompanies prices are often set by the top management rather than
by the marketing or sales department.

physical distribution. It is sometimes caused the guardian knock ofphysical distribution management.

immediately storage. Function is necessary, because productionand consumption cycle is rarely matched. The company mustdecide on a desirable numbers of stocking locations.

conducted keeping in mind certain constrains and restrictions. As a
student, I tried my best relevant information regarding the researchbut, than too, I found following limitations of these research.
They are:1. Study is restricted to Rajkot city only.2. Sample size of 50 may not be sufficient for making perfect
evaluation of total population.3. Keeping in the mind the psychological constrains, the
questionnaire includes limited questions only.

SUGGESTIONOn the basis of comprehensive research of the Bajaj Auto
Ltd. under gone at Rajarshi Auto Deals Pvt. Ltd. it can beconcluded that the position of the Bajaj Auto Ltd. in the corporatefield is very strong. The well experienced efficient and industrioussales force is the strength of it. The value of the Bajaj Auto Ltd. ismore than the other vehicles manufactures.
From the survey analysis is found that there are some areaswhere they need improvements that are as follows:
1. The company spends less on promotionactivity and consumer are expecting more promotional
benefit so company need to offer more promotional benefit tothe consumer .
2. In spite of regular introduction of newmodels by the company, consumers are still expecting better
bikes with better re-sale value and less maintenance. So
company should introduce new model by considering thisfactor.
