INDUSTRY PROFILE
As its name suggests, a door handle is used to open and close car
doors. It is found on both the exterior and interior sides of automobile doors,
although they are used differently on each panel. The one on the outside is
pulled to open the car door, while the inside door handle is used to release
the door latch before you can push the door to let yourself out. Some car
door handles can be found protruding from the exterior side while some are
built into the fascia of the vehicles so that they seem to follow the contour of
the car's body. They are usually made of steel, but doors of more expensive
cars feature chrome door handles. Luxury automobiles such as the Lincoln
Town Center are even decked with an electronic entry pad that requires you
to either enter a numerical code or have your thumb scanned so you can
open the car door.
In regular door handles, a toothed wheel at the side panel of the door,
called a rotor, helps do the job. The rotor rotates and turns its teeth so to
latch and unlatch with the striker when you open and close the car door.
Although the door handle is probably one of the least complicated parts of
your vehicle, it is just as important because it's the one that gives you entry
and exit to your car. If isn't working well, you would obviously be trapped
inside your car or perhaps be denied access to your own car. That would be a
misfortune. A car door handle can cause you a lot of inconvenience if it isn't
working properly, so it should not be taken for granted.

The remarkable impact of the India’s initiatives in economic
Liberalization and Globalization (post 1991) is most apparent in the
automotive sector. Automotive industry is a key driver of economic growth
contributing around five to six percent to the Indian GDP. Introduction of
reforms and entry of international companies has intensified competition in
the Indian automotive sector. This has resulted in the transformation of a
‘Sellers market’ (created mainly due to the Indian government’s
protectionist policies) into a ‘Buyers market’. The changing structure of this
industry has posed many challenges and opportunities to the market
participants. The automotive industry is the barometer of the Indian
economy. The sign of recovery are most visible in the growing demand for
automobiles. The aspirations of Indian consumer are considerably rising
with the growing demand.
The global automotive industry is currently undergoing consolidation
phase and the repercussion of this consolidation are likely to be experienced
in India, too. The consolidation of the automotive vehicle industry is likely
to have serious implications on the automotive component industry too.
All the trends derived out of present dynamics of the Indian
automotive vehicle market are indicators of internationalization of this
market. India has become focus of international growth seeking companies
as not only a cost competitive sourcing base but also a high growing
potential market. In the likely future ahead the competition will be
prominent in all the functions of business and only the companies with
2
ADITYA AUTO PARTS
global standards are likely to survive in the markets. The Indian
manufacturers are gearing up for the challenges but surely the current
scenario is apparently in favor of international players. The early movers are
likely to secure a position to command the global competition.
A sound transportation system plays a vital role in the country’s rapid
economic and industrial development. The well-developed Indian
automotive industry ably fulfils this catalytic role by producing a wide
variety of vehicles viz, passenger cars, light, medium and heavy commercial
vehicles, multi-utility vehicles such as jeeps, scooters, motor-cycles,
mopeds, three wheelers, tractors etc. The automotive industry comprising
mainly of the automobile and the auto component sectors has shown great
advances since delicensing and opening up of the sector to FDI in 1993. The
investment in the industry is Rs. 30,400 crores up to 1998-99. Including
turnover of the auto-component sector, the automotive industry’s turnover
exceeded Rs. 48,700 crores. The industry provides direct employment to
nearly one crore employees. The contribution of the automotive industry to
the GDP has risen from 4.0% in 1998-99 to 5.7% in 2002-03.
Since liberalization in 1993-94 to 1996-97, the automobile sector has
shown a spectacular overall growth rate of over 25% in the number of
vehicles manufactured. Also this period was characterized by the entry of
global automobile manufacturers for setting up joint ventures in India.
There has been substantial addition to capacity creation from 1998-99 to
2002-03. Installed capacity in 4 wheelers had increased from 11.76 lakhs to
13.45 lakhs vehicles. The sustained demand constraints through 1998-99,
3
ADITYA AUTO PARTS
however, have had a telling effect on the industry. 1998-99 witnessed a
decline of 16% in production of commercial vehicles.
Nevertheless, thanks to surge in two wheeler productions in 1998-99,
overall automobile sector logged a rate of growth of 7.4% comparing figures
of this year with the corresponding period of the last year it would be seen
that the difficult phase that Indian industry was passing through, appears to
be over. The automobile industry is also contributing to the export effort of
the country the growth of automobile components industry is closely linked
to the growth of automotive industry, as substantial quantity produced is
supplied by the auto components industry to original equipment
manufacturers. Being in pace with the growth in production/sales of
automobiles over the past few years, the auto components industry has also
registered stabilized growth.
The Auto Component industry is today considered as the sunrise
industry with huge growth prospects. This industry is also expected to drive
the growth of the engineering sector in view of its strong downstream and
upstream linkages with many other segments of the engineering sector like
raw materials, capital goods, intermediate products etc.
The Automobiles have always caught the fascination of humans.
Since the invention of wheel till to date, automobiles have stride part
significant milestones. Automobile industry has not only revolutionized the
modern man’s life, but also has made significant advances in the
technological front.

"Acquisitions, especially of companies in Europe, will be the mantra
for Indian players. This is because the OEMs in Europe have been facing
crisis. Outsourcing to Indian companies reduces their costs significantly and
simultaneously Indian companies gain control over the strong local brands."
Companies across most segments of auto ancillaries are expanding
capacities to tap the growing demand. According to ACMA (Automobile
Components Manufacturers Association), the investment in the sector has
risen by about 107 per cent from 1997-98 to 2004-05.
India continues to be a low-cost outsourcing destination for global
auto companies, with its strong engineering skills. For instance, Gabriel
India [Get Quote] recently signed a global supply contract with Arvin
Meritor of USA for supply of two million shock absorbers valued at around
$ 12-15 million per annum.
Sourcing parts from India is 10-20 per cent cheaper for American auto
makers and about 50 per cent cheaper for European auto makers, according
to an analyst. Exports, which at present constitute 15-20 per cent of the
industry size of about $10 billion in FY06 (Rs 45,000 crore), are likely to
reach 50 per cent in another five years.
The growth in India would be driven by the 9-10 per cent expected
growth in medium & heavy commercial vehicles, 15 per cent growth in cars
and about 20 per cent growth in light commercial vehicles. Moreover, cars,
5
ADITYA AUTO PARTS
utility vehicles and CVs made in India are increasingly getting acceptance in
foreign markets, thus driving the demand further. Even Indian two-wheeler
majors are targeting markets abroad.
Surge in automobile industry since the 90’s has led to robust growth
of the auto component sector in the country. In tandem with the industry
trends, the Indian component sector has shown great advances in recent
years in terms of growth, spread, absorption of new technologies and
flexibility. Indian auto component industry has seen major growth with the
arrival of world vehicle manufacturers from Japan, Korea, US and Europe.
Today, India is emerging as one of the key auto components center in Asia
and is expected to play a significant role in the global automotive supply
chain in the near future.
Today, the auto-component industry has emerged as a highly
competitive segment of the manufacturing sector. Indian auto component
industry is wide (over 400 firms in the organized sector producing
practically all parts and more than 10,000 firms in small unorganized sector,
in tierized format) and has been one of the fastest growing segments of auto
industry. During the year 2006-07, the Auto Component Industry continued
its high growth path and emerged as one of the fastest growing sector in
Indian Engineering Industry by clocking 21% growth in output during the
year.
The industry crossed a total turnover of over US $ 15 billion (Rs.
64,500 crore), with exports of US $ 2.9 billion (Rs. 12,643 crore) during the
6
ADITYA AUTO PARTS
year. It supports industries like automobiles, machine tools, steel, aluminum,
rubber, plastics, electrical, electronics, forgings and machining. India has
also emerged as an outsourcing hub for auto parts for international
companies such as Ford, General Motors, Daimler Chrysler, Fiat,
Volkswagen, and Toyota. As Global OEMs/Tier 1 companies have
identified India as a Leading Competitive country for sourcing auto
components for their global production, Indian auto component industry’s
export scenario is changing very fast; auto component industry’s export
growth was 15% in 2006-07.
The market for small cars now occupies a substantial share of 70% out
of the annual production of 1 million cars in India. Maruti Udyog, with its
legendary Maruti -800 is the leader in the small car market. A number of
manufacturing plants are coming up for advancements in the field of small
cars. The small car market in India is increasing by leaps and bounds. The
indigenous market for small cars now occupies a substantial share of around
70% of the annual car production in India of about one million.
The main players in the car market like Tata Motors and Maruti
Udyog are fiercely competitive and more or less all the automobile
companies in India that have forayed into the production of small cars are
trying to out-do each other in terms of design, innovation, pricing, and
technology, in order to gain control of the small car market in India. The
mid-size car market in India has grown tremendously in the last few years. A
mid-size car is an automobile which have a size that is between a compact
and a car of full size.

The government in relation to the automobile industry have taken out
various polices such as reducing the import tariffs and also relaxing the
equity regulations. This has led to the reduction in the prices of the mid-size
cars.
The Sport utility vehicle market in India has grown in recent years. A
sport utility vehicle is a vehicle which has multiple uses due to its sturdy
exterior and a spacious interior. In the Indian automobile market, the sport
utility vehicle market is growing at the fastest pace. The sport utility vehicle
market in India is where all the activity in the Indian automobile sector is
centered. This particular sector looks poised for a sharp growth in the years
to come. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have also become very popular in
India as they are considered advantageous due to their ability to
accommodate more passengers. They are ideal for trips with the whole
family. The Sport Utility Vehicle market in India is the most booming
market in India presently and SUVs have become the fastest selling cars of
India.
