AUTOMOBILE SECTOR

Introduction to Automobile Sector:Overview - Indian Automobile Industry:Over a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobile industry has been driving its own growth through phases. The entry of Suzuki Corporation in Indian passenger car manufacturing is often pointed as the first sign of India turning to a market economy. Since then the automobile sector witnessed rapid growth year after year. By late-90's the industry reached self reliance in engine and component manufacturing from the status of large scale importer. With comparatively higher rate of economic growth rate index against that of great global powers, India has become a hub of domestic and exports business. The automobile sector has been contributing its share to the shining economic performance of India in the recent years. With the Indian middle class earning higher per capita income, more people are ready to Own private vehicles including cars and two-wheelers. Product movements and manned Services have boosted in the sales of medium and sized commercial vehicles for Passenger and goods transport. Side by side with fresh vehicle sales growth, the Automotive components sector has witnessed big growth. The domestic auto components Consumption has crossed rupees 9000 Crores and an export of one half size of this figure.

Overview of Automobile Industry:The Indian automobile industry is going through a technological change where each firm is engaged in changing its processes and technologies to sustain the competitive advantage and provide customers with the optimized products and services. Starting from the two wheelers, trucks, and tractors to the multi utility vehicles, commercial vehicles and the luxury vehicles, the Indian automobile industry has achieved tremendous amount of success in the recent years. As per Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) the market share of each segment of the industry is as follows:.

The market shares of the segments of the automobile industry:The automobile industry had a growth of 15.4 % during April-January 2007, with the average annual growth of 10-15% over the last decade or so. With the incremental investment of $35-40 billion, the growth is expected to double in the next 10 years. Consistent growth and dedication have made the Indian automobile industry the secondlargest tractor and two-wheeler manufacturer in the world. It is also the fifth-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in the world. The Indian automobile market is among the largest in Asia.

The key players like Hindustan Motors, Maruti Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd, Tata Motors, Bajaj Motors, Hero Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra have been dominating the vehicle industry. A few of the foreign players like Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd., Skoda India Private Ltd., Honda Siel Cars India Ltd. have also entered the market and have catered to the customers‘ needs to a large extent. Not only the Indian companies but also the international car manufacturing companies are focusing on compact cars to be delivered in the Indian market at a much smaller price. Moreover, the automobile companies are coming up with financial schemes such as easy EMI repayment systems to boost sales. There have been exhibitions like Auto-expo at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi to share the technological advancements. Besides, there are many new projects coming up in the automobile industry leading to the growth of the sector. The Government of India has liberalized the foreign exchange and equity regulations and has also reduced the tariff on imports, contributing significantly to the growth of the sector. Having firmly established its presence in the domestic markets, the Indian automobile sector is now penetrating the international arena. Vehicle exports from India are at their highest levels. The leaders of the Indian automobile sector, such as Tata Motors, Maruti and Mahindra and Mahindra are leading the exports to Europe, Middle East and African and Asian markets. The Ministry of Heavy Industries has released the Automotive Plan 2006-2016, with the motive of making India the most popular manufacturing hub for automobiles and its components in Asia. The plan focuses on the removal of all the bottlenecks that are inhibiting its growth in the domestic as well as international arena.

Consumption trends:About 250 million vehicles are in use in the United States. Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007, consuming over 260 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. In the opinion of some, urban transport systems based around the car have proved unsustainable, consuming excessive energy, affecting the health of populations, and delivering a declining level of service despite increasing investments. Many of these negative impacts fall disproportionately on those social groups who are also least likely to own and drive cars.The sustainable transport movement focuses on solutions to these problems. The Detroit branch of Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2014, one-third of world demand will be in the four BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Other potentially powerful automotive markets are Iran and Indonesia. History:The first practical automobile with a petrol engine was built by Karl Benz in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. Benz was granted a patent for his automobile on 29 January 1886, and began the first production of automobiles in 1888, after Bertha Benz, his wife, had proved with the first long-

distance trip in August 1888 (from Mannheim to Pforzheim and back) that the horseless coach was absolutely suitable for daily use. Since 2008 a Bertha Benz Memorial Route commemorates this event. Soon after, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart in 1889 designed a vehicle from scratch to be an automobile, rather than a horse-drawn carriage fitted with an engine. They also are usually credited as inventors of the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen, in 1885, but Italy's Enrico Bernardi, of the University of Padua, in 1882, patented a 0.024 horsepower (17.9 W) 122 cc (7.4 cu in) one-cylinder petrol motor, fitting it into his son's tricycle, making it at least a candidate for the first automobile, and first motorcycle; Bernardi enlarged the tricycle in 1892 to carry two adults.

Export and Import of Automobile In India:In auto export, passenger vehicle exports have grown over five times from the start of the decade and two-wheeler exports have reached more than double. Current Scenario:?

?

Foreign auto makers, including Ford Motor Co. , General Motors Corp., Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Toyota Motor Corp., DaimlerChrysler AG and Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd., are looking to increase their presence in India and use it as an export hub. Exports of auto components, whose manufacturing costs are 30-40 per cent lower than in the West, have grown at 25% a year between 2000 to 2005.

Overview Snippets:? ? ? ?

In 2003-04 the export of the industry was 55.98%. Two-wheelers are mostly exported from India. The reason behind the export is cost competitiveness in terms of labor and raw material. The export of auto components has grown to 19% from the start of the decade.

Facts & Figures:The Indian automotive export industry presently is finding a good recognition globally. The auto industry along with the component industry is contributing to the export effort of the country. In 2002-03, the export of the automobile industry had registered a growth rate of 65.35%. In 200304, it was 55.98%. The following table briefs about the 2003-04 and 2004-05 (upto April-Dec. 2004) automobile export in numbers. The automobile exports are at an all time high as was indicated by Society of Indian automobile Manufacturers in a report released in 2006. According to the report, the passenger car segment saw a rise of 9% in January 2006.

The following table will provide a clear picture of the rapid rise of automobile Export in India.

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

About the Company:The story of Toyota Motor Corporation began in September 1933 when Toyota Automatic Loom created a new division devoted to the production of automobiles under the direction of the founder's son, Kiichiro Toyota. Soon thereafter, the division produced its first Type A Engine in 1934, which was used in the first Model A1 passenger car in May 1935 and the G1 truck in August 1935. Production of the Model AA passenger car started in 1936.Although the Toyota Group is most well known today for its cars, it is still in the textile business and still makes automatic looms (fully computerized, of course), and electric sewing machines which are available worldwide. Toyota Motor Co. was established as an independent company in 1937. Although the founding family name is Toyoda, the company name was changed to: ? ? ? Signify the separation of the founders' work life from home life; Simplify the pronunciation, and Give the company an auspicious beginning.

Toyota is considered luckier that Toyoda in Japan, where eight is regarded as a lucky number, and eight is the number of strokes it takes to write Toyota in Katakana. During the Pacific War the company was dedicated to truck production for the Imperial army. Because of severe shortages in Japan, military trucks were kept as simple as possible. For example, the trucks had only one headlight on the center of the hood. Commercial passenger car production started in 1947 with the model SA.1950 a separate sales company Toyota Motor Sales Co. was established (which lasted until July1982). In April 1956 the Toyota dealer chain was established.

US and China saw 2005 profits rise, against The worldwide motor industry trend. 2 In 2003 Toyota knocked its rivals Ford into third spot, to become the World's second largest carmaker with 6.78 million units. 3 The company makes a large range of vehicles for both private customers and commercial organizations, from the small Yaris to large trucks.

of oversupply and so car manufacturers need to make sure that it is their models that consumers want. 2 Toyota markets most of its products in the US and in Japan. 3 The company needs to keep producing cars in order to retain its operational efficiency. Car plants represent a huge investment in expensive fixed costs, as well as the high costsof training and retaining labour. So if the car market experiences a down turn, the company could see over capacity.

OPPURTUNITY 1 Lexus and Toyota now have a reputation for

manufacturing environmentally friendly Vehicles. Lexus has RX 400h hybrid, and Toyota has it Prius. Both are based upon advance technologies developed by the organization. 2 Toyota has also sold on its technology to other motor manufacturers, for example Ford has bought into the technology for its new Explorer SUV Hybrid. Such moves can only firm up Toyota's interest and investment in hybrid R&D

Research & development:For more than 25 years, Toyota Technical Center (TTC) has been the driving force behind Toyota's North American Engineering and Research and Development activities, overseeing the design and development of vehicles. TTC is a division of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, TTC is engaged in engineering design, prototype building, vehicle evaluation, evaluation and design of parts and materials, regulatory affairs, emissions certification and technical research. Throughout our North American facilities TTC is committed to utilizing teamwork to bring all facets of the TTC operation together. TTC is widely regarded as Toyota's leading technical center outside Japan.

Future Plan:India's car population may be growing but the growth is mainly concentrated in the small car sector, and not without reason. With increasing interest rates making buying cars costlier and the government slapping new duties on larger vehicles in addition to the existing favourable tax regime for smaller cars, even premium players are wading into the small-car scene. Indian passenger car sales rose by 11.79 per cent between April 2007 and March 2008 to 1.2 million units. Competition in the small car segment is set to increase in 2009, with planned launches by Maruti Suzuki (A-Star and Splash), Honda (Jazz) and as yet unnamed models from Ford, GM and Volkswagen. Japanese carmaker Toyota, all set to surpass General Motors as the world's largest, is the latest entrant when it made its intentions clear on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone for its second factory in India. The decade-old Indian joint venture of the Japanese automaker, Toyota Kirloskar, is building its second plant at Bidadi, about 40 kilometers from India's IT hub of Bangalore, with an upfront investment of Rs14,000 crore ($329 million) to manufacture a range of passenger cars and multi-utility vehicles. Toyota is the majority partner with an 89-per cent stake with Kirloskar owning the rest. Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa unveiled the foundation stone for the new plant that will have a test track and additional space for suppliers and other vendors. The ceremony was attended by Toyota senior managing director Akira Okabe, chairman Ryoichi Sasaki, vice-chairman Vikram Kirloskar and managing director Hiroshi Nakagawa. The modular plant, to be commissioned by 2010, will have an installed capacity of 100,000 units annually and will employ about 2,400 people. Top officials confirmed that the company will soon be introducing its newly designed compact car in the Indian market.
21

The plant which is being set up will see an initial investment of Rs1400 crore. But this initial investment won't include certain other costs like installing robots and other automation equipment. The arrangement of this additional amount required for the plant would be worked out later. A new test track will be included in the second plant, which is expected to be spread over 130 acres of land. Though the new compact car has been designed for the Indian market, the initial design features indicate that it can be exported to other markets in Asia. Daihatsu, Toyota's group company, will not be involved in designing the compact new car, though it may be included in future plans.

Tata Motors is also expanding its international footprint, established through exports since 1961. The Company's commercial and passenger vehicles are already being marketed in several countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, South Asia and South America. It has franchisee/joint venture assembly operations in Kenya, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Russia, Senegal and South Africa. In January 2008, Tata Motors unveiled its People's Car, the Tata Nano, which India and the world have been looking forward to. The Tata Nano has been subsequently launched, as planned, in India in March 2009. A development, which signifies a first for the global automobile industry, the Nano brings the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of thousands of families. The standard version has been priced at Rs.100,000 (excluding VAT and transportation cost). Designed with a family in mind, it has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Its mono-volume design will set a new benchmark among small cars. Its safety performance exceeds regulatory requirements in India. Its tailpipe emission performance too exceeds regulatory requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a lower pollution level than two-wheelers being manufactured in India today. The lean design strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. The high fuel efficiency also ensures that the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint. In May 2009, Tata Motors introduced ushered in a new era in the Indian automobile industry, in keeping with its pioneering tradition, by unveiling its new range of world standard trucks called Prima. In their power, speed, carrying capacity, operating economy and trims, they will introduce new benchmarks in India and match the best in the world in performance at a lower life-cycle cost.

Customer Satisfaction Relationship:By making a success of connecting to dealers and customers, Tata Motors has got into cruise control in a critical sphere of its business

Given that the customer is king (or queen), it would be logical to presume that establishing — and nurturing — a relationship with such royalty is a priority for enterprises looking to sell a product or service. Fact is, it may be a priority but organizations rarely pay more than lip service to what goes by the grandiose nomenclature of customer relationship management. For Tata Motors, though, this has always been an imperative. It made eminent sense for India‘s premier automobile company — with over 1 million customers, 22,000 employees and a geographically fragmented business that operates out of 1,600 locations in a notoriously cyclic business environment — to put many eggs in the relationship management basket. But this was an idea cooked in the cauldron of adversity.

Human Resource Management:Tata Motors, are committed to understanding customer needs and innovating on our wide range of offerings keeping these needs in mind. This approach has earned us the position of being among the top five medium and heavy commercial vehicle manufacturers in the world. Our products are seen in markets like Europe, Australia, South East Asia, Middle East and Africa. We owe our success to the highly motivated and talented staff at Tata Motors. Our recruitment division picks the crème-de-la-crème from premier universities, management and engineering institutes in India. We put them through rigorous training programmes to hone their entrepreneurial skills and impart comprehensive product knowledge.

Training:Tata Motors, employees are invaluable assets and their career and personal growth are of prime concern to the Company. Tata Motors provides a congenial atmosphere to work, learn and grow. The Company conducts various programmes to train their staff in the latest and the best technology and management practices. The Company through its in-house vocational training and apprenticeship programmes trains the technicians at Tata Motors. Numerous talented youngsters, honed by such rigorous programmes, have received numerous National Best Apprentice Awards - the highest accolade for excellence in skills, in India. Tata Motors expansion projects offer numerous growth opportunities. Structured training programmes, rotational assignments and cross-functional mobility allow employees to grow. Movement across functions is encouraged to help employees develop a wider perspective and gain expertise in manifold functions. Executive Selection Scheme (ESS):Tata Motors has always strived towards excellence both in its efforts towards total integration as well as in recognising its talented employees. The Company is constantly creating prestigious programmes to reward and retain its outstanding employees. The Executive Selection Scheme is one such programme, which is highly sought after by Tata Motors employees. It is a matter of pride and prestige to be a part of the ESS selection process and emerge a winner. ESS is a fast track programme for accelerated growth of high potential professionals. This facilitates their early advancement to challenging and visible assignments through a very systematic procedure. The selection involves a 3 stage process:

Operation Supply Chain Management & International Business:Tata Motors has been aggressively acquiring foreign brands to increase its global presence. Tata Motors has operations in the UK, South Korea, Thailand and Spain. Among them is Jaguar Land Rover, a business comprising the two iconic British brands that was acquired in 2008. Tata Motors has also acquired from Ford the rights of Rover. In 2004, it acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, South Korea‘s second largest truck maker. The rechristened Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company has launched several new products in the Korean market, while also exporting these products to several international markets. Today two-thirds of heavy commercial vehicle exports out of South Korea are from Tata Daewoo.

In 2005, Tata Motors acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera, a reputed Spanish bus and coach manufacturer, giving it controlling rights of the company. Hispano‘s presence is being expanded in other markets. On Tata's journey to make an international foot print, it continued its expansion through the introduction of new products into the market range of buses (Starbus & Globus) as well as trucks (Novus). These models were jointly developed with its subsidiaries Tata Daewoo and Hispano Carrocera. In May, 2009 Tata unveiled the Tata World Truck range jointly developed with Tata Daewoo They will debut in South Korea, South Africa, the SAARC countries and the Middle-East by the end of 2009 In 2006, it formed a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, a global leader in bodybuilding for buses and coaches to manufacture fully-built buses and coaches for India and select international markets. Tata Motors has expanded its production and assembly operations to several other countries including South Korea, Thailand, South Africa and Argentina and is planning to set up plants in Turkey, Indonesia and Eastern Europe. Tata also franchisee/joint venture assembly operations in Kenya, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Russia and Senegal. Tata has dealerships in 26 countries across 4 continents. Though Tata is present in many counties it has only managed to create a large consumer base in the Indian Subcontinent namely India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Nepal and has a growing consumer base in Italy, Spain and South Africa.

32

SWOT Analysis:STRENGTHS 1 The internationalisation strategy so far has been WEAKNESS 1 The company's passenger car products are

to keep local managers in new acquisitions, and to only transplant a couple of senior managers from India into the new market. The benefit is that Tata has been able to exchange expertise. 2 The company has a strategy in place for the next stage of its expansion. Not only is it focusing upon new products and acquisitions, but it also has a programme of intensive management development in place in order to establish its leaders for tomorrow.
OPPURTUNITY 1 Tata Motors Limited acquired Daewoo Motor's

based upon 3rd and 4th generation platforms, which put Tata Motors Limited at a disadvantage with competing car manufacturers. 2 Despite buying the Jaguar and Land Rover brands Tata has not got a foothold in the luxury car segment in its domestic, Indian market.

THREATS 1 Other competing car manufacturers have

Commercial vehicle business in 2004 for around USD $16 million. 2 Nano is the cheapest car in the World - retailing at little more than a motorbike.whilst the World is getting ready for greener alternatives to gasguzzlers, is the Nano the answer in terms of Finance:concept or brand? Incidentally, the new Land Rover and Jaguar models will cost up to 85 times more than a standard Nano.

been in the passenger car business for 40, 50 or more years. Therefore Tata Motors Limited has to catch up in terms of quality and lean production. 2 Sustainability and environmentalism could mean extra costs for this low-cost producer. This could impact its underpinning competitive advantage. Obviously,as Tata globalises and buys into other brands this problem could be alleviated.

Future Plan:After the acquisition of Korean manufacturer Ssangyong, Mahindra and Mahindra have pumped in Rs.2,000 crore for the revival of the company. It is a very big investment however as signs go, Mahindra and Mahindra seem to have got themselves a bargain. The first vehicle to be born out of this wedlock would be a SUV and research for it is already underway with the approval from the Korean government. Another company which Mahindra and Mahindra have a controlling stake is Reva. This company is the only one in India making strictly electric cars. The coalition recently launched the Reva electric car in Pune. The company currently manufactures about 35,000 cars in a year. This coalition is now looking out for international playgrounds namely China. The reason for this is that the Chinese government have recently announced attractive tax rebates for companies selling electric cars. To make it more practical, the Chinese government are also making efforts to put in electric infrastructure in all the major urban areas. The electric car numbers are supposedly pegged to grow upto 5 million by 2015. The model that the company plans to launch in China would be the Reva NXG which has 4 seats, 100 kmph top speed and also range of 170 kms. There is also a 15 minutes easy charging facility which would be fitted into the car and also a new technology called as REV-ive.
