The Indian Automobile Industry is manufacturing over 11 million vehicles and exporting
about 1.5 million every year the dominant products of the industry are two wheelers with a
market share of over 75% and passenger cars with a market share of about 16%. Commercial
vehicles and three wheelers share about 9% of the market between them. About 91% of the
vehicles sold are used by households and only about 9% for commercial purposes. The
industry has attained a turnover of more than USD 35 billion and provides direct and indirect
employment to over 13 million people the supply chain of this industry in India is very
similar to the supply chain of the automotive industry in Europe and America. This may
present its own set of opportunities and threats. The order of the industry arises from the
bottom of the supply chain i. e., from the consumers and goes through the automakers and
climbs up until the third tier suppliers. However the products, as channeled in every
traditional automotive industry, flow from the top of the supply chain to reach the consumers.
Interestingly, the level of trade exports in this sector in India has been medium and imports
have been low. However, this is rapidly changing and both exports and imports are
increasing. The demand determinants of the industry are factors like affordability, product
innovation, infrastructure and price of fuel. Also, the basis of competition in the sector is high
and increasing, and its life cycle stage is growth. With a rapidly growing middle class, all the
advantages of this sector in India are yet to be leveraged. Note that, with a high cost of
developing production facilities, limited accessibility to new technology and soaring
competition, the barriers to enter the Indian Automotive sector are high. On the other hand,
India has a well-developed tax structure. The power to levy taxes and duties is distributed
among the three tiers of Government. The cost structure of the industry is fairly traditional,
but the profitability of motor vehicle manufacturers has been rising over the past five years.
Major players, like Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki have material cost of about 80% but are
recording profits after tax of about 6% to 11%.The level of technology change in the Motor
vehicle Industry has been high but, the rate of change in technology has been medium.
Investment in the technology by the producers has been high. System-suppliers of integrated
components and sub-systems have become the order of the day. However, further investment
in new technologies will help the industry be more competitive. Over the past few years, the
industry has been volatile. Currently, India’s increasing per capita disposable income which
is expected to rise by 106% by 2015 and growth in exports is playing a major role in the rise
and competitiveness of the industry. Tata Motors is leading the commercial vehicle segment
KLE ‘S, IMSR, HUBLI Pg 5
Indian Automobile Industry
Manickbag Automobiles, Pvt, Ltd, Hubli
with a market share of about 64%.Maruti Suzuki is leading the passenger vehicle segment
with a market share of 46% Hyundai Motor India and Mahindra and Mahindra are focusing
expanding their footprint in the overseas market. Hero Honda Motors is occupying over 41%
and sharing 26% of the two wheeler market in India with Bajaj Auto. Bajaj Auto in itself is
occupying about 58% of the three wheeler market. Consumers are very important of the
survival of the Motor Vehicle manufacturing industry. In 2008-09, customer sentiment
dropped, which burned on the augmentation in demand of cars. Steel is the major input used
by manufacturers and the rise in price of steel is putting a cost pressure on manufacturers and
cost is getting transferred to the end consumer. The price of oil and petrol affect the driving
habits of consumers and the type of car they buy. The key to success in the industry is to
improve labor productivity, labor flexibility, and capital efficiency. Having quality
manpower, infrastructure improvements, and raw material availability also play a major role.
Access to latest and most efficient technology and techniques will bring competitive
advantage to the major players. Utilizing manufacturing plants to optimum level and
understanding implications from the government policies are the essentials in the Automotive
Industry of India. Both, Industry and Indian Government are obligated to intervene the Indian
Automotive industry. The Indian government should facilitate infrastructure creation, create
favorable and predictable business environment, attract investment and promote research and
development. The role of Industry will primarily be in designing and manufacturing products
of world-class quality establishing cost competitiveness and improving productivity in labor
and in capital. With a combined effort, the Indian Automotive industry will emerge as the
destination of choice in the world for design and manufacturing of automobiles.
Products and Services
The primary activities of this industry are: Motor cars manufacturing Motor vehicle engine
manufacturing. The major products and services in this industry are: Passenger motor vehicle
manufacturing segment (Passenger Cars, Utility Vehicles & Multi Purpose Vehicles)
Commercial Vehicles (Medium & Heavy and Light Commercial Vehicles) Two Wheelers
Three Wheelers.

Supply Chain of Automobile Industry
The supply chain of automotive industry in India is very similar to the supply chain of the
automotive industry in Europe and America. The orders of the industry arise from the bottom
of the supply chain i. e., from the consumers and go through the automakers and climbs up
until the third tier suppliers. However the products, as channeled in every traditional
automotive industry, flow from the top of the supply chain to reach the consumers.
Automakers in India are the key to the supply chain and are responsible for the products and
Automakers/Vehicle Manufacturers/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs): After
researching consumers’ wants and needs, automakers begin designing models which are
tailored to consumers’ demands. The design process normally takes five years. These
companies have manufacturing units where engines are manufactured and parts supplied by
first tier suppliers and second tier suppliers are assembled. Automakers are the key to the
supply chain of the automotive industry. Examples of these companies are Motors, Maruti,
Toyota, and Honda. Innovation, design capability and branding are the main focus of these
companies.
Dealers: Once the vehicles are ready they are shipped to the regional branch and from there,
to the authorized dealers of the companies. The dealers then sell the vehicles to the end
customers.
Parts and Accessory: These companies provide products like tires, windshields, and air bags
etc. to automakers and dealers or directly to customers.
Service Providers: Some of the services to the customers include servicing of vehicles,
repairing parts, or financing of vehicles. Many dealers provide these services but, customers
can also choose to go to independent service providers

Tata Motors Limited is India’s largest automobile company, with consolidated revenues of
Rs.1, 23,133 crores (USD 27 billion) in 2010-11. It is the leader in commercial vehicles in
each segment, and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning products in the
compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. The Company is the world's fourth largest
truck manufacturer, and the world's third largest bus manufacturer. The Company's over
25,000 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 5.9 million
Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads, since the first rolled out in 1954. The Company's
manufacturing base in India is spread across Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Pune (Maharashtra),
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar Uttarakhand), Sanand (Gujarat) and Dharwad
(Karnataka). Following a strategic alliance with Fiat in 2005, it has set up an industrial joint
venture with Fiat Group Automobiles at Ranjangaon (Maharashtra) to produce both Fiat and
Tata cars and Fiat powertrains. The Company's dealership, sales, services and spare parts
network comprises over 3500 touch points; Tata Motors also distributes and markets Fiat
branded cars in India.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 an
international automobile company. Through subsidiaries and associate companies, 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.
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, and subsequently the remaining
stake in 2009. Hispano's presence is being expanded in other markets. In 2006, Tata Motors
formed a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, a global leader in body-building for
buses and coaches to manufacture fully-built buses and coaches for India and select
international markets. In 2006, Tata Motors entered into joint venture with Thonburi
Automotive Assembly Plant Company of Thailand to manufacture and market the Company's
KLE ‘S, IMSR, HUBLI Pg 9
Manickbag Automobiles, Pvt, Ltd, Hubli
pickup vehicles in Thailand. The new plant of Tata Motors (Thailand) has begun production
of the Xenon pickup truck, with the Xenon having been launched in Thailand in 2008. 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. The foundation of the Company's growth over the last 50
years is a deep understanding of economic stimuli and customer needs, and the ability to
translate them into customer-desired offerings through leading edge R&D. With over 4,500
engineers and scientists, the Company's Engineering Research Centre, established in 1966,
has enabled pioneering technologies and products. The Company today has R&D centre’s in
Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Dharwad in India, and in South Korea, Spain, and the UK. 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. In 2005, Tata Motors created a new segment by launching the Tata
Ace, India's first indigenously developed mini-truck.
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
minimize weight, which helps maximize 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

MANICKBAG AUTOMOBILES PVT. LTD is the authorized dealer for the Tata
Motors. Dharmappa Mirji and Manickchand Shah founded Manickbag in the year 1920.
The name Manickbag was because, when it was started on a land which was donated by
Mr. Manickchand P. Zaveri of Mumbai to Jain Boarding and it was full of bamboo
jungle, so it was called as Manickbag. At the earlier stage, Manickbag Rice Mill was
started and then it was diversified to Manickbag Soap Factory. Due to some policy
matters it was closed and diversified to Groundnut Oil Mill. This group believed in
honesty and quality, so they were successful in producing the product. Simpson’s was
leading manufacturer of diesel engines. Manickbag Engineers took the dealership of
Simpson engines in 1951 and in 1956 Mico’s dealership was taken. At the same time
Ashok Leyland’ sub dealership under Sundram Motors was taken in 1956 in the name of
Manickbag Automobiles. In the year 1965 separate firm as Manickbag Diesels was
started exclusively for Mico products and Manickbag garage and industries for machine
shop and Leyland service for repairs of Leyland Vehicles. In the 1980 a branch for Mico
of Manickbag Diesels was opened in Bijapur. In the year 1984 its first branch was
opened in Hubli. Further they opened branches In 1993 Manickbag Automobiles
