company is establishing a new plant at Sanand (Gujarat). 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 omer needs. Besides product

development, R&D is also focusing on environment-friendly technologies in

emissions and alt 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, with an option

to acquire the remaining stake as well Hispano's presence is being expanded in other

markets. In 2006, it 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 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 at the Bangkok Motor

Show 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 and Senegal

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 2,000 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 in Pune, Jamshedpur,

Lucknow, 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. 100000 (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 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 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. 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. The years to come will see the introduction of several other

innovative vehicles, all rooted in emerging custernative fuels.

Through its subsidiaries, the company is engaged in engineering and automotive

solutions, construction equipment manufacturing, automotive vehicle components

manufacturing and supply chain activities, machine tools and factory automation

solutions, high-precision tooling and plastic and electronic components for automotive

and computer applications, and automotive retailing and service operations.

True to the tradition of the Tata Group, Tata Motors is committed in letter and spirit

to Corporate Social Responsibility. It is a signatory to the United Nations Global

Compact, and is engaged in community and social initiatives on labour and

environment standards in compliance with the principles of the Global Compact In

accordance with this, it plays an active role in community development, serving rural

communities adjacent to its manufacturing locations. With the foundation of its rich

heritage, Tata Motors today is etching a refulgent.

Corporate Social Responsibility:

Green Matters: Tata Motors, a Company that cares about the future...

True to the tradition of the Tata Group, Tata Motors is committed in letter and spirit to

Corporate Social Responsibility. It is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, and

is engaged in community and social initiatives on labour and environment standards in

compliance with the principles of the Global Compact. In accordance with this, it plays an

active role in community development, serving rural communities around its manufacturing

locations.

Tata Motors believes in technology for tomorrow. Tata's products stand testimony to

this. Tata's annual expenditure on R&D is approximately 2% of our turnover. Tata has also

set up two in-house Engineering Research Centers that house India's only Certified Crash

Test Facility. Tata ensures that our products are environmentally sound in a variety of ways.

These include reducing hazardous materials in vehicle components, developing extended

life lubricants, fluids and using ozone-friendly refrigerants. Tata Motors has been making

conscious effort in the implementation of several environmentally sensitive technologies in

manufacturing processes. The Company uses some of the world's most advanced equipment

for emission check and control. Tata Motors concern is manifested by a dual approach -

1) Reduction of environmental pollution and regular pollution control

drives

2) Restoration of ecological balance.

Tata endeavors towards environment protection are soil and water conservation

programs and extensive tree plantation drives. Tata Motors is committed to restoring and

preserving environmental balance, by reducing waste and pollutants, conserving resources

and recycling materials. Reducing Pollution: Tata Motors has been at the forefront of the

Indian automobile industry's anti-pollution efforts, by introducing cleaner engines. It is the

first Indian Company to introduce vehicles with Euro norms well ahead of the mandated

dates.

Tata Motors' joint venture with Cummins Engine Company, USA, in 1992,

was a pioneering effort to introduce emission control technology for India.

Over the years5 Tata Motors has also made investments in setting up of an

advanced emission-testing laboratory.

With the intention of protecting the environment, Tata Motors has upgraded

the performance of its entire range of four and six cylinder engines to meet

international emission standards. This has been accomplished with the help

of world-renowned engine consultants like Ricardo and AVL. These engines

are used in Tata Motors vehicles in the Indian market, as well as in over 70

export markets.

Tata Motors is constantly working towards developing alternative fuel

engine technologies. It has manufactured CNG version of buses and

followed it up with a CNG version of its passenger car, the Indica.

Restoring Ecological Balance: Tata Motors has set up effluent treatment

facilities in its plants, to avoid release of polluted water into the ecosystem.

In Pune, the treated water is conserved in lakes attracting various species of

birds from around the world thus turning the space into a green belt.

Tree plantation programs involving villagers and Tata Motors employees;

have turned acres of barren village green. Tata Motors has planted as many

as 80,000 trees in the works and the township and more than 2A million

trees have been planted in Jamshedpur region. Over half a million trees have

been planted in the Poona region. Tata Motors has directed all its suppliers

to package their products in alternate material instead of wood.

End of Life Vehicle Treatment and Recycling: India is a recycling society

with many people making value out the recovery of waste materials

discarded from products at the end of their useful life.

However, Europe, and some other export markets, have recognized that they

have become a ‘throwaway1 society in recent decades, and are now

introducing waste prevention regimes in different industry sectors to collect

and recycle valuable resource rather than it ending up in landfill.

In the Automotive sector, the European End of Life Vehicle (ELV)

Directive, points responsibility for this issue to vehicle manufacturers, and

the scrap car recovery industry. Similar regulations are being introduced in

Japan and Korea.

Naturally, Tata Motors has already met the 'producer responsibility 1 aspects of the

ELV Directive, such as compliance to Heavy metals and other hazardous substance

restrictions. Also, material code marking of plastic parts has been introduced to aid

achievement of demanding European recycling targets.

Central to this European regulation is for manufacturers to provide free take-back

networks for environmentally sound treatment of ELVs. Community Development:

The Company's Community Service Division works through various societies to

improve the conditions of neighboring villages - encouraging economic independence

through self-initiated cottage industries and contributing to community and social

forestry, road construction, rural health, education, water supply and family planning.

Tata Motors has been making numerous well-planned efforts in the area of rural

development, with specific focus on the following: Health & Sanitation: Mobile health

service staffs provide preventive and curative health services under the "Health for

All" programme. They train village health workers in conducting the same. Safe

drinking water facilities are provided to ensure health of the villagers.

Employment Generation; Tata Motors encourages self-sufficiency with the aim to

improving the confidence, morale and lives of its employees and their dependents. The

Company has worked on some novel ideas around its townships. Employees' relatives

at Pune have been encouraged to form various industrial co-operatives engaged in

activities such as re-cycling of scrap wood into crates and furniture, welding, steel

scrap baling, battery cable assembly etc. The Tata Motors Grihini Social Welfare

Society caters to employees' women dependents'. The women folk make a variety of

products, ranging from pickles and uniforms to electrical cable harnesses etc Community

Centers; these centers are situated in various parts of Jamshedpur, Pune and some

of their neighboring towns. The centers regularly organize various programmes &

neighboring populations are encouraged to participate in these activities.

significant gap in the market. Recognizing a gap in the market for small commercial vehicles, Tata

Motors worked towards an innovative solution. In an era where there is a need is to transport goods

speedily, conveniently and in a cost effective manner, while providing comfort, style and easy

maintenance, Tata Motors has developed the Tata Ace - India's first mini-truck ideal for short,

narrow village roads as well as long highway hauls, for small bulky loads and large heavy ones, the

Ace is an innovative 4-wheeler offering for the first time in this category. The small exterior belies

the power-packed technologically-superior engine which gives the Ace high power and high

produced inhouse due to various constraints. Hence some of these small parts are outsourced to

various vendors. The parts procured from these vendors should be as per the quality standards

maintained by Tata Motors. Vendor development group identifies the appropriate vendor and

ensures proper quality standards.

Production Strategy:

The Passenger Car Division in 'K' block executes the entire process of car manufacture over

five shops - the engine shop, the transmission shop, press and body shops, paint shop and the

trim and final assembly shop. The shops are fully automated ensuring that there is minimal

chance for error in the manufacturing processes.

Production Strategy being implemented in Tata Motors is ‘Make to Stock’. Demand forecast is

done by the marketing team and based on this forecast a production plan is prepared and then

the production is done in accordance with this production plan.

Tata Motors Passenger Cars unit does not have warehouses in all the cities. The cars produced

are tested thoroughly and after successful completion of the testing are stored in large free space

available in the company premises. From here these cars are despatched to the authorised

dealers as per their order.

Some special purpose vehicles such as utility vehicles for defence, mini-ambulance for hospitals

are made as per the order.

And to control the quality of its cars TATA Motors applies various stringent measures during

the pre-manufacturing stage as well as post-manufacturing stage.

During the manufacturing stage regulars quality audits are held by the in-house auditors in all

the shops. All the process sheets, spot plans, control plan etc are displayed near the work place.

In the post manufacturing stage once the vehicle comes out of the assembly line it passes

through stringent testing standards such as shower test, wheel balancing etc. On successful

completion of testing, the car is ready to be despatched after Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI).

Environmental Management:

TATA Motors reaffirms its commitment to minimize the adverse impacts of its products,

operations and services on the environment. It strives to:

• Reduce the emission levels of vehicles in full compliance of the regulatory norms &

proactively work with the industry, Government, other related industries & agencies to bring in

international practices.

• Use of environmentally sustainable technologies & practices for prevention of pollution and

the continual improvement in environment performance.

• Conserve natural resources and energy by minimizing their consumption & wastage.

• The unit is certified with ISO 14001 : 1996 for Environmental Management System (EMS)

Work Measurement :

Tata Motors is the first Indian Company to introduce the Balance Scorecard System in

automotive sector in India.

The scorecard incorporates SQDCM (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and Morale).

The implementation of the Balanced Scorecard has enabled greater focus on different elements

of operational performance. Defining, cascading and communicating strategies across the

organization have brought about transparency and alignment.

Apart from Balance scorecard half yearly review of the employees is done on the basis of

attendance, kaizen at work place etc.

A suggestion scheme is started by the management wherein any employee irrespective of his

cadre can suggest an improvement in the work place and if this suggestion is approved by the

concerned authority the employee gets rewards points. Once an employee achieves a specified

limit of points he gets a gift voucher.

Apart from this employees also receive bonus on certain festive occasion.

Engineering:

Continuous efforts are made to reduce the cost of service in TATA Motors. Rejection of input

parts received from vendors is very closely monitored in all the departments. The vendors are

penalised if rejection exceeds beyond the defined limits. Apart from rejection of regular parts

some stations are identified as CTQ (Critical to Quality) Stage. Special care is taken of the

components added on these stations. Any negligence on these stations may lead to a customer

claiming replacement of the vehicle.

Value engineering team also works for searching energy efficient alternatives, methods and

eco-friendly technology, by adopting effective maintenance & work. The comsumption of

electricity, water, LPG, Compressed air etc is continuously monitored and steps are taken to

reduce the consumption of these resources.

Material Management:

Tata Motors uses SAP 4.6C Material Management (MM) module for:

• materials planning and control,

• purchasing,

• goods receiving,

• inventory management,

• invoice verification.

Various spare parts for the machines and other necessary equipments are ordered by the

maintenance and T & PS departments through central maintenance shop and purchase

department.

Existing scenario

To keep up with the current market scenario, the finance companies are

adopting many innovative approaches to optimize profit in the commercial

vehicle loan segment Usage of cutting edge technology and streamlining of

processes have helped them in operational cost savings. Also alternative sales

and distribution have given the benefits of larger distribution spread at a

minimal cost Faster response to clients' requirement, tailor made products to

suit the customer needs have further helped in Achieving the targets these

companies have sets. Buoyancy in the infrastructure segment and positive

trends in the industrial products are the critical factors triggering the growth in

commercial vehicles segment, Also the measure taken by the government to up

bring the agriculture sector will add to growth of commercial vehicles

industry .Despite having better rail and water ways India is still heavily

dependent on surface mode for movement of goods.. With various project like

NHRI, golden quadrangle, Transporters will be blessed with better

productivity, The impetus on port, activity too will positively impact this

industry .another critical factor will be the replacement demand forced by the

implementation of stricter emission norms.

In the last 3-4 years we have witnessed application based assets getting

introduced in the market and both domestic and international manufacturers

showing higher amount of Interest in offering sophisticated and

technologically advanced products. In spite of the current slow down due to

various factors, commercial vehicles industry has witnessed growth in

segments like Tippers, Buses, Tractors trailers segment and sub 1 tons

category of vehicles with the implementation of emission norms in to A and B

cities and metro cities forcing for stage IV norms the industry is going to

witness a huge replacement demand. We are yet to be blessed with better

infrastructure within cities and between major cities and town; this is again

limiting introduction of higher capacity product and viability of existing

operation.

The transformations of one being looked at as a mere transporter to logistic

solution provider has just begun in India where as many of the developed

countries have achieved this long ago. With all these development taking

place, the commercial vehicle financing companies are geared up for the

unprecedented growth in the segment.

Last year's provisions

The last budget did not change the excise duty structure for commercial

vehicles, which remained at 16%.

Present scenario

Heavy and medium commercial vehicles.

After witnessing a good run in FY 2000, the first nine months of FY 2001

turned out to be slack as sales fell by24.5% yoy.this can directly attributed to

the government's move to rationalize the existing sales tax structure to brine it

at par throughout the country. This meant a rise in sales tax from 4%-6%to 12%

in some north Indian states. Complying with the Euro I norms is the second

important reasons for it gave rise to a price increase by 2-4% by both Ashok

Leyland And TATA engineering .also freight movement was hit as states like

Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh witnessed drought .growth in

industrial production has also slowed down. Last but not the least, there was a

hike of 20% in diesel price in October 2000. With around 45% of operating

cost of fleet operators accounted for by fuel, the diesel price hike had its own

negative impact. Both the industry players, viz .Ashok Leyland (ALL) and

TATA engineering have posted lower sales in the first nine month of FY 01.

while Ashok Leyland’s sales have fallen by 13.83%yoy that of TATA

engineering have fallen by a sharp 29,74% yoy.

The light commercial vehicle segment

The performance of the light commercial vehicle segment is somewhat

better due to higher export sales. Notably, the largest Player, Tata

engineering, would have posted a negative growth rate had it not been for

export sales .the company exported 5,193 units during the period as

compared to 1,758 units in the corresponding period last year .total export of

LCVs during the period touched 5,954 units as compared to 2,445 units

without export, the domestic LCV sales would have fallen by L3%yoy.

Future scenario

Investing in infrastructure like road can bring about a sustained growth in the

commercial vehicle segment. The government has taken a few initial steps in

the form of widening highways and is Starting to build the 'Golden

Quadrilateral' connecting the four corners of the country. One important

measures that the government can bring forth is the 'hub and spoke' system

.this essentially means that heavy commercial vehicles would be used to

travel between cities while the intra-city travel will be left to LCVs .this will not

only avoid traffic problem in our already congested cities but will also save

operating costs for fleet operators in term of lesser turnaround time. Yet another

boost for the CV industry could come in the form of a 'scrap page law' which

will cut down on the age of vehicles that can play on the road .this will greatly

help to reduce pollution level and also reduce fuel consumption.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths:

As compare to private financial institution the rate of nationalized bank

is less which is in favour of consumer.

Comfortability for employee of Tata motors (by the time when DSE

approach to nationalized bank then the burden of field investigation

report is overtaken by nationalized bank themselves).

Company has no liabilities for recovery of loan.

• Tata motors can diversify their fund on other project like passenger car

segment,

Weaknesses:

Nationalized banks take more time for financing a vehicles compare to other

financial institution.

Nationalized banks required lot of paper work as compare to other financial

institution.

• Attitude of employee working in nationalized bank is so much

orthodox.

• There is hitch between consumer, DSE, and nationalized bank which

have to broken by communication.

Opportunities:

Vast resources of bank can be optimum utilize.

• Times of India survey stated that every Indian has their accounts in

nationalized bank so the consumer are familiar with working of banks.

• Nationalized banks have large coverage area of vast market i.e. easy

availability of banks.

• If once the loan process comes in flow and customer will be aware about the

nationalized banks policy the flow will convertible into stream.

By approaching same attitude tata motor can also put their effort to other

vehicles also.

Threats:

• Customer, DSE, that don't want to indulge in nationalized bank process.

Prospective hirer is willing to repay the loan.

There should be some person from the same community or trade who

can verify his own and prospective hirer's credential.

In short financier money should be in safe hands and bring him return.

Rate of interest

Rate of interest in nationalized bank is very less as compare to other private

Institutions. Private institutions provides loan on flat interest basis which

means customer has to pay EMI on the whole amount for the whole period for

example if Mr., A taken a loan of Rs. 1 lakh for 3 yrs. Then he has to pay EMI

on 1 lakh for whole 3 yrs. No matter how much amount he has paid as EMI

earlier on contantory banks provide loan on reducing rate.(nationalized bank

provide loan on 12.25% upto200000 and for more than 200000 interest is

12.75% at reducing rate.)

FINDINGS

On the basis of the thorough study of Tata motors specially

Commercial Vehicle, there are many things that have been observed

by me. It was a great experience to accomplish this project which

gave us a lot of information about the TATA MOTORS.

These findings are as follows:-

l) Almost all the banks are sanctioning the commercial vehicle loan.

2) I found that Maximum numbers of banks are taking more than one

week to grant the commercial vehicle loan.

3) Every bank needed commercial license for loan of commercial

Vehicle.

4) Most of the banks needed collateral security against commercial

vehicle loan,

5) Mahindra & Eicher have a tie up with nationalized banks for

commercial loan,

6) Most of the customer belongs to TATA Motors who takes

commercial loan from banks.

SUGGESTIONS

On the basis of the whole study and all the observations, I have tried to find some

ways which would be helpful to increase the sale of the product. As far as I think, to

sell commercial vehicle .company must focus on its target customer who is

interesting to take a vehicle through nationalized bank and there are two ways by

which they can be influenced. These two ways are:-

Influence them directly

Make them aware about the tie-up.

There are following ways by which Tata motors can influence

them directly:-

1. By running various campaigns inviting the customer to come up and be

familiar with the Tata motors,

2. Company can organize any sort of competition for the drivers of theCommercial vehicle in that competition only the drivers from those organizations

should be permitted who have purchased the Tata vehicle. Then a big amount like

Rs. 5000-10,000 can be given as prize money which will turn the drivers into

the favor of the company and surely they are the major influencers in purchase

of a vehicle

3. Special offer on commercial vehicle loan should be given in months of

June and July in order to increase the sales.

Seminar on commercial vehicle tie-up with bank should take place so

that people get aware for their owner.

Make them aware about the tie-up.

1) By doing advertisement about the TATA Motors tie up among

the customer.

2) By distributing broachers & pamphlets to concern person.

3) By doing campaign on road.

4) Display information about the tie up in concerned nationalized

banks.

Limitations of the survey:

Though, best efforts have been made to make the study fair, transparent and error frees

yet there might be some inevitable and inherent limitations. Although outright

measures are undertaken, to make the report most accurate, some inadvertent

errors might have crept In and suggestions to improve or eliminate the same are most

welcome. The limitations of the survey are narrated below:

• The project is valid for the predefined area of work (Lucknow city)

only.

• There may be some biased response from the respondents.

• Some respondents did not provide the full data,

• Due to different nationalized bank norms the response of banker

might differ from those of other banks, if any.

CONCLUSIONS

about the TATA's MOTORS, The whole training comprises o f following activities:-

Getting familiar with the products of Tata in HC V, IC V & LC V range

through the study of brochures.

Getting some basic knowledge about the commercial vehicle loan.
