INDUSTRY PROFILE
HISTORY
India has the largest number of two wheelers in the world with 41.6 million vehicles. India
has a mix of 30 percent automobiles and 70 percent two wheelers in the country. India was
the second largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world starting in the 1950’s with the birth
of Automobile Products of India (API) that manufactured scooters. API manufactured the
Lambrettas but, another company, Bajaj Auto Ltd. surpassed API and remained through the
turn of the century from its association with Piaggio of Italy (manufacturer of Vespa). The
license raj that existed between the1940s to1980s in India, did not allow foreign companies
to enter the market and imports were tightly controlled. This regulatory maze, before the
economic liberalization, made business easier for local players to have a seller’s market.
Customers in India were forced to wait 12 years to buy a scooter from Bajaj. The CEO of
Bajaj commented that he did not need a marketing department, only a dispatch department.
By the year 1990, Bajaj had a waiting list that was twenty-six times its annual output for
scooters. The motorcycle segment had the same long wait times with three manufacturers;
Royal Enield, Ideal Jawa, and Escorts. Royal Enfield made a 350cc Bullet with the only four-
stroke engine at that time and took the higher end of the market but, there was little
competition for their customers. Ideal Jawa and Escorts took the middle and lower end of the
market respectively. In the mid-1980s, the Indian government regulations changed and
permitted foreign companies to enter the Indian market through minority joint ventures. The
two-wheeler market changed with four Indo-Japanese joint ventures: Hero Honda, TVS
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 7
“Customer awareness and effectiveness of Hero Honda passport program”
Suzuki, Bajaj Kawasaki and Kinetic Honda. The entry of these foreign companies changed
the Indian market
dynamics from the supply side to the demand side. With a larger selection of two-wheelers
on the Indian market, consumers started to gain influence over the products they bought and
raised higher customer expectations. The industry produced more models, styling options,
prices, and different fuel efficiencies. The foreign companies new technologies helped make
the products more reliable and with better quality. Indian companies had to change to keep
up with their global counterparts.

since 2001, when it produced 1.3 million motorbikes in a single year. Hero Honda's Splendor
is the world's top selling motorcycle. Its 2 plants are in Dharuhera and Gurgaon, both in
Haryana, India. It specializes in dual use motorcycles that are underpowered and very fuel
efficient
Company Profile:
“Hero”, is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers in the year 1956 with the flagship
company Hero Cycles. The two-wheeler manufacturing business of bicycle components had
originally started in the 1940’s and turned into the world’s largest bicycle manufacturer
today. Hero is a name synonymous with two-wheelers in India today. The Munjals roll their
own steel, make free wheel bicycle critical components and have diversified into different
ventures like product design. The Hero Group philosophy is: “To provide excellent
transportation to the common man at easily affordable prices and to provide total satisfaction
in all its spheres of activity”. The Hero group vision is to build long lasting relationships with
everyone (customers, workers, dealers and vendors). The Hero Group has a passion for
setting higher standards and “Engineering Satisfaction” is the prime motivation, way of life
and work culture of the Group. In the year 1984, Mr. Brijmohan Lal Munjal, the Chairman
and Managing Director of Hero Honda Motors (HHM), headed an alliance between the
Munjal family and Honda Motor Company Ltd. (HMC). HHM Mission Statement is: “We, at
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 9
“Customer awareness and effectiveness of Hero Honda passport program”
Hero Honda, are continuously striving for synergy between technology, systems, and human
resources to provide products and services that meet the quality, performance, and price
aspirations of our customers. While doing so, we maintain the highest standards of ethics and
societal responsibilities, constantly innovate products and processes, and develop teams that
keep the momentum going to take the company to excellence in the new millennium”. This
alliance became one of the most successful joint ventures in India, until the year 1999 when
HMC had announced a 100% subsidiary, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI). This
announcement caused the HHM stock price to decrease by 30 percent that same day. Munjal
had to come up with some new strategic decisions as, HMSI and other foreign new entry
companies were causing increased intensity of rivalry for HHM.

BUSINESS GROWTH
The business growth of Hero Honda has been phenomenal throughout its early days. The
Munjal family started a modest business of bicycle components. Hero Group expanded so big
that by 2008 they had sold 110 million bicycles producing 16000 bicycles a day. Today Hero
Honda has an assembly line of 9 different models of motorcycles available. It holds the
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 11
“Customer awareness and effectiveness of Hero Honda passport program”
record for most popular bike in the world by sales for Its Splendor model. Hero Honda
Motors Limited was established in joint venture with Honda Motors of Japan in 1984, to
manufacture motorcycles. It is currently the largest producer of Two Wheelers in the world.
The Hero Group has done business differently right from the start and that is what has helped
them to achieve break-through in the competitive two-wheeler market. The Group's low key,
but focused, style of management has earned the company plaudits amidst investors,
employees, vendors and dealers, as also worldwide recognition. The growth of the Group
through the years has been influenced by a number of factors: Just-in-Time The Hero Group
through the Hero Cycles Division was the first to introduce the concept of just-in-time
inventory. The Group boasts of superb operational efficiencies. Every assembly line worker
operates two machines simultaneously to save time and improve productivity. The fact that
most of the machines are either developed or fabricated in-house, has resulted in low
inventory levels. In Hero Cycles Limited, the just-in-time inventory principle has been
working since the beginning of production in the unit and is functional even till date. This is
the Japanese style of production and in India; Hero is probably the only company to have
mastered the art of the just-in-time inventory principle.
Dealer Network:
The relationship of Hero Group with their dealers is unique in its closeness. The dealers are
considered a part of the Hero family. A nation-wide dealer network comprising of over 5,000
outlets, and have a formidable distribution system in place. Sales agents from Hero travels to
all the corners of the country, visiting dealers and send back daily postcards with information
on the stock position that day, turnover, fresh purchases, anticipated demand and also

“Customer awareness and effectiveness of Hero Honda passport program”
competitor action in the region. The manufacturing units have a separate department to
handle dealer complaints and problems and the first response is always given in 24 hours.
Financial Planning :
The Hero Group benefits from the Group Chairman's financial acumen and his grasp on
technology, manufacturing and marketing. Group Company, Hero Cycles Limited has one of
the highest labor productivity rates in the world. In Hero Honda Motors Limited, the focus is
on financial and raw material management and a low employee turnover. Quality: Quality at
Hero is attained not just by modern plants and equipment and through latest technology, but
by enforcing a strict discipline. At the Group factories, attaining quality standards is an
everyday practice - a strictly pursued discipline. It comes from an amalgamation of the latest
technology with deep-rooted experience derived from nearly four decades of hard labor. It is
an attitude that masters the challenge of growth and change - change in consumers'
perceptions about products and new aspirations arising from a new generation of buyers.
Constant technology up gradation ensures that the Group stays in the global mainstream and
maintains its competitive edge. With each of its foreign collaborations, the Group goes onto
Strengthen its quality measures as per the book. The Group also employs the services of
independent experts from around the world to assist in new design and production processes.
Diversification:
Throughout the years of enormous growth, the Group Chairman, Mr. Lall has actively looked
at diversification. A considerable level of backward integration in its manufacturing activities
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 13
“Customer awareness and effectiveness of Hero Honda passport program”
has been ample in the Group's growth and led to the establishment of the Hero Cycles Cold
Rolling Division, Munjal and Sunbeam Castings, Munjal Auto Components and Munjal
Showa Limited amongst other component-manufacturing units. Then there were the
expansion into the automotive segment with the setting up of Majestic Auto Limited, where
the first indigenously designed moped, Hero Majestic, went into commercial production in
1978. Then came Hero Motors which introduced Hero Puch, in collaboration with global
technology leader Steyr Daimler Puch of Austria. Hero Honda Motors was established in
1984 to manufacture 1000 cc motorcycles. The Hero Group also took a venture into other
segments like exports, financial services, information technology, which includes customer
response services and software development. Further expansion is expected in the areas of
Insurance and Telecommunication.

costs and the dynamic leadership of the Group Chairman, characterized by an culture of
entrepreneurship, of right attitudes and building stronger relationships with investors,
partners, vendors and dealers and customers.

An integral part of the Group strategy of doing business differently was providing support to
ancillary units. There are over 300 ancillary units today, whose production is dedicated to
Hero's requirements and also a large number of other vendors, which include some of the
better known companies in the automotive segment. Employee Policy:
Another Striking feature within the Hero Group is the commitment and dedication of its
workers. There is no organized labor union and family members of employees find ready
employment within Hero. The philosophy with regard to labor management is "Hero is
growing, grow with Hero." When it comes to workers' benefits, the Hero Group is known for
providing facilities, further ahead of the industry norms. Long before other companies did so,
Hero was giving its employees a uniform allowance, as well as House Rent Allowance
(HRA) and Leave Travel Allowance (LTA). Extra benefits took the form of medical check-
ups, not just for workers, but also for the immediate family members. Dealer Network:
The relationship of Hero Group with their dealers is unique in its closeness. The dealers are

SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATION
According to the study conducted, it shows from the analysis and findings that majority
of Customer are satisfied with the HHPP Scheme. So I wish to give the following
recommendations to the management.
The Dealers should provide separate counter for HHPP to the customer at showroom.
According to the respondents surveyed I found that most of the respondents
get their bike service from the authorized service stations and few of respondents are
still unaware of HHPP so the company should concentrate on this customers with
respect to there genuine service providing to its customers.
Less number of customer receive gift from this program but dealer should give
attractive and useful gift give to customer.
HHPP has been able to create good image in the mind of customer.
Though the customer response is good about HHPP but there should be continuous
improvement in the customer care and follow up service.
Effective HHPP service and attaining to complaints of customers immediately will
satisfy them, this satisfaction will act as psychological motivation, indirectly will
reflect to sales of Basaveshwar Motors.
