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

KLE ‘S, IMSR, HUBLI Pg 10

Manickbag Automobiles, Pvt, Ltd, Hubli

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. Tata Motors is equally focused on

environment-friendly technologies in emissions and alternative fuels. It has developed

electric and hybrid vehicles both for personal and public transportation. It has also been

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

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
