INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY GROWTH
Automobile Industry is the largest industry in India with an impressive growth in the last two decades. The reason behind the growth was abolition of licensing in 1991 and permitting automatic approval and successive liberalisation of the sector.
According to estimation the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of Indian Automobile sales will grow at 9.5% and will touch a mark of 13,008 million by 2010. The figure for FY05 was 8.45 million units. To tap this large opportunity, the Indian Auto Companies along with the global giants have announced huge expansion plans.
Maruti Udyog Ltd. was the largest 4-Wheelers producer in 2005-06 followed by Tata Motors. Hyundai did well but the difference was nearly half of Tata Motors. In 2-Wheelres segment, Hero Honda is leading putting behind Bajaj Auto Ltd.
OVERVIEW
India, sourcing base for global auto majors. Passenger car and motorcycle segment is set to grow by 8-9%.
The two-wheeler segment will clock 11.5% rise by 2007.
Commercial vehicle to grow by 5.2 per cent.
Estimated component market size is US$ 6.7 bn.
FACTS AND FIGURES
India, in auto sector, is turning to be a sourcing base for the global auto majors. The passenger car and the motorcycle segment is set to grow by 8-9 per cent in coming couple of years, says the ICRA report. The industry is likely to maintain the growth momentum picked up in 2002-03.
The ICRA's analysis points on the auto sector that the passenger car market in the country was inching towards cars with higher displacements. The sports-utility-vehicle (SUV) that was getting crowded everyday, would witness intense competition as many SUVs had been competitively priced, the report said.
Honda, Suzuki, General Motors and Hyundai, the global automakers had already launched their premium SUVs in the market to broaden their portfolio and create product excitement in the segment estimated at about 10,000 units annually.
In the two-wheeler segment, according to the report, the motorcycles would clock 11.5 per cent rise during 2004-2007 over its siblings-scooters and mopeds. Scooters sales

INDIAN AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES
CURRENT SCENARIO
Hero Honda is the largest manufacturer of motorcycles. Hyundai Motors India is the second largest player in passenger car market.
Sundram Fasteners, Sundaram Clayton, Bharat Forge and Rico Auto supplies components to global majors like Ford, General Motors and Land Rover.
Tata Motors is the fifth largest medium & heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in the world.
OVERVIEW
In 1980s Hindustan Motors (HM) was leading car manufacturer in India. HM is popular with its Ambassador model.
In 1970s, Sanjay Gandhi, son of Indira Gandhi envisioned "People's Car."
Maruti Udyog Ltd. was set up to manufacture budget cars.
In 1993 foreign auto makers entered the Indian market.
FACTS AND FIGURES
The onset of automobile industry in India saw companies like Hindustan Motors, Premier Automobiles and Standard Motors catering to the manufacture of automobiles for Indian customers. The era, 1950s - early 1990s was known as 'license raj,' when India was closed to the world and imports. Hindustan Motors (HM) was the leader in car

P a g e | 14 I 296
manufacturing and sales until the 1980s, when the industry was opened up from protection. HM, joint venture with Mitsubishi produced Lancer and Pajero, but is best known for its own model, Ambassador.
Around 1970, Sanjay Gandhi, elder son of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, envisioned the manufacture of an indigenous, cost-effective, low maintenance compact car for the Indian middle-class. The cabinet passed a unanimous resolution for the development and production of a "People's Car." It was christened Maruti Limited. However, the company as Maruti Udyog Ltd. matured only after the death of Sanjay Gandhi. The Maruti800 car went on sale in 1983. By 1993 it sold up to 1,96,820 cars.
1991, the liberalisation of the Indian economy opened the market for foreign automobile makers to venture in India. The license raj ended in 1993 and many foreign players entered the Indian market by way of Joint ventures, collaborations or wholly owned subsidiary.

Auto industry sees decline in growth after 7 years in FY ended 2007-08
After seven years of successive growth, the domestic automobile industry has recorded a degrowth in the financial year ended 2007-08 as high interest rates and availability of finance weaned consumers away from vehicle purchasing. Production of vehicles in FY 2007-08 plummeted mainly due to declining motorcycle and three-wheeler sales in the country.
In the financial year ended in March, domestic vehicle sales fell by 4.70 per cent. During the year, motorcycles sales reported a sharp fall of 11.90 per cent to 57,68,341 units from 65,47,195 units. Lack of implementation of control on overloading along with issue of financing dragged sales of medium and heavy commercial vehicles by 1.66 per cent to 2,70,994 units as compared to the previous year. The decline in sales has been mainly due to availability of finance, issue of repossessing vehicles and high interest rates which have led to lower sales.

Passenger car sales
In March, among passenger car companies Hyundai Motor India Ltd recorded the highest growth at 29,396 units, an increase of 52 per cent. Maruti Suzuki, reported almost flat sales at 55,758 units.
During the month, both scooters and motorcycles reported a decrease in sales volumes. The scooters segment fell 5.07 per cent to 83, 022 units and the motorcycles to 5,06,884 units, a decrease of 0.04 per cent.

FUTURE OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
An industry that was licensed, controlled and restricted in the early years of independent India and had limited contribution to the economy, currently contributing about 5% of the GDP and it is targeted to grow five fold by 2016 and account for over 10% of India’s GDP.
While, the Automobile industry’s evolution dates back to late 1960s (though genesis could be traced back to 1940s), economic liberalisation of early 1990s gave it a further boost.
The year 2001 marked the beginning of landmark policy reforms in the sector, Quantitative restrictions were removed, 100 percent FDI was permitted through automatic route, no condition of foreign exchange neutralisation, no export obligation,
A Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile Industry
P a g e | 18 I 296
etc.
As a result, auto industry got an added push, with output doubling. Also, the industry undertook many technological innovations to ensure that it meet international standards, for instance, in terms of safety standards and emission norms. Thus came a phase that is to mark a real paradigm shift in the industry. In a sense the automotive industry in India is just about 10-15 years old!
From a production of 185,000 units in 1970-71, the industry currently produces 11 million vehicles. And from a turnover of $34 billion, the industry is expected to reach a turnover of $150-200 billion in next ten years.
Manufacturers are increasingly adopting an outward looking approach and exploring new markets/territories, ranging from Middle East, Europe, South Africa, Algeria, Latin America, Russia, etc. Exports have increased immensely from a mere 38,000 units in 1990-91 to 1.01 million units in 2006-07. Some estimates suggest that by 2010, car exports, alone would reach 1 million.
This will have a huge impact on the economy. For every additional commercial vehicle produced in the country 13 new jobs are created, every additional car adds five jobs, two wheelers about 0.5 and three wheelers around 4 jobs.
The growth momentum is witnessed not just by the industry manufacturing vehicles but also by a large number of other industries like supply chain companies, infrastructure companies, oil companies, insurance & finance companies, etc. The automobile is being recognised for what it actually is, a means to promote Entrepreneurship, Employment and Economic Development.
Companies in India are setting up green field manufacturing facilities, increasing production capacities and entering into joint ventures. Manufacturers are investing overseas and establishing footprints across the world. For instance, TVS Motor Company and Bajaj Auto are investing in Indonesia.
Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors in Thailand, Mahindra and Mahindra and Tata Motors in South Africa. Almost all major companies, including both domestic players and global automotive groups are investing heavily in new manufacturing and assembly plants in automotive hubs across India and have announced massive expansion plans.
Much of the foundations for the future importance of the automotive industry in India are
A Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile Industry
P a g e | 19 I 296
being laid now. Expansion and investment plans of close to $14 billion have been announced.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has recently launched the Ten Year Plan for the Indian auto industry, the Automotive Mission Plan 2006-2016; it is a comprehensive document covering all aspects of the industry with 25 key interventions. The Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, the nodal ministry for the auto sector, has been instrumental in making this possible.
The Mission Plan has set a target that by 2016, its output in dollar-terms should have quadrupled, while GDP is expected to have merely doubled. In other words, aim is to achieve industry output $145 billion and consequently, make the automotive sector’s contribution rise to at least 10% of the country’s GDP.
The target is to attract investment worth USD 35-40 billion by 2016. It aims to develop India as the preferred location in the world for the design and manufacture of automotive products. The Mission Plan’s identified intervention areas would enable the industry to attain world class standards and emerge as the vanguard of the Indian economy.
With all these plans, the industry is set to have a major impact on India’s future economic growth. The industry is entering into a new phase of its development and evolution, results of which will be visible in over next ten years. Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh had aptly said that the building of ‘Brand India’ in the world was powered by the Indian automotive industry meeting global standards.
A key is the collective execution and implementation of the interventions in the AMP and a joint Government - Industry effort. The consequence as we could all hope would be a remarkable transformation of India’s entire economic landscape.

INTRODUCTION
In early 2000s, the car industry occupied a position of strategic importance in many countries. However, with increasing maturity, the industry's average profit margins had declined from 20% or more in the 1920s to around 10% in the 1960s and less than 5% in 2004. The car industry represented just 1.6% of Europe's stockmarket capitalization and 0.6% of USA's . About 20 years back, the corresponding figures had been 3.6% and 4.0% respectively.
In recent times, the automobile market in America, Europe and Japan, where over 80% of
A Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile Industry
P a g e | 22 I 296
the world's cars and trucks were sold, had stagnated. Supply had increased vis-à-vis demand for several reasons. In countries like Germany and France, rigid labour laws had inhibited the closure of redundant factories. In America, the arrival of European, Japanese and South Korean makers and their aggressive plans to expand market share had also created overcapacity. Effective capacity had increased slowly but steadily as carmakers continued to improve their productivity. The car industry also seemed to be undergoing a structural transformation in the early 2000s.
Many players were trying to move towards a build-to-order model that could serve niche segments efficiently. As new electronic control devices emerged and concern for the environment grew, new players with new competencies were likely to enter and challenge the incumbents. Under these circumstances, the leading car makers wondered what they had to do to revitalize themselves and strengthen their competitive position.
BACKGROUND
The car industry was born in Germany more than 100 years ago. Early development of the industry began in France in the 1900s. It was in America that the industry came of age thanks to Henry Ford, who introduced the assembly line production system.
The car industry pioneered many innovative business practices. For example, the industry introduced the concept of "planned obsolescence," i.e. frequent changes in design to induce customers to switch to a new model every other year. At the same time, by virtue of its sheer size and ubiquity, the industry attracted wide public attention. In the 1960s, consumer activist Ralph Nader attacked the safety record of the 'Big Three' Detroit manufacturers, General Motor, Ford and Chrysler.
In the 1970s, as oil prices quadrupled, the industry found itself under attack from environmentalists. The industry also attracted government scrutiny on account of safety concerns, antitrust worries (in the days when General Motors had 60% share of the US market) and pollution. But in view of its size and the number of jobs it created, the industry continued to receive strong government support. When small, fuel efficient and reliable Japanese cars started to eat into the market share of the Big Three, the American government resorted to protectionism.
The global car industry had been consolidating almost since its birth. In the late 1920s, there were 270 car companies in the world, most of which were based in America. From these, the Big Three - G M, Ford and Chrysler emerged.
In 2004, the global car industry comprised seven big groups and three smaller ones. In volume terms, six groups - GM, Toyota, Ford, Renault/Nissan, Volkswagen and DaimlerChrysler and their affiliates accounted for about 70% of global sales.

P a g e | 24 I 296
Spurred by a huge demand due to increasing purchasing power, new product launches, coupled with attractive finance schemes and booming exports, cars sales has been growing at a frenetic pace.
Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s biggest car maker, recorded its highest ever annual sales (7,64,842 vehicles), registering a growth of 13.3 per cent in 2007-08 over 2006-07.
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (M&M) cumulative sales grew by 30 per cent in 2007-08- 2,31,355 units compared to 1,78,201 units in the corresponding period last fiscal.
Hyundai Motors India Limited (HMIL) has shown a robust growth at 16.13 per cent with 360,934 units during 2007-08, against 310,787 units sold in 2006-07.
SkodaAuto has sold 14,187 vehicles in 2007-08 against 12,444 in 2006-07, a growth rate of 14.06 per cent.
General Motors India (GM), the wholly owned subsidiary of US-based General Motors Corporation, reported 71 per cent increase in domestic sales in 2007-08 - at 66,543 units against 38,857units in 2006-07.
Mercedes-Benz India recorded a 59 per cent sales growth during the first quarter of 2008.
Honda sold 62,802 cars in 2007-08, higher than the 61,325 units sold in 2006-07.
The new fiscal year (2007-08) has started on a robust note with domestic sales of several segments witnessing robust growth rates in April 2008.
THE NANO REVOLUTION
Tata Motors has introduced the global auto industry to a whole new consumer segment, with the 'Nano' also shedding light on how to leverage emerging markets as innovation hubs. The Nano promises to be a potentially revolutionary innovation, delivering a car to huge segments of the market hitherto unable to afford one. This Tata small car is a landmark event in India as well as the world's automobile history. The Tata Motors plant in Singur in West Bengal has a maximum capacity of 2,50,00; at full capacity the Nano has the potential to become the largest selling model in India. The first truly original automobile product from India, Nano is powered by a 623 cc, four-speed manual transmission engine. Despite the small size it is a modern car capable of meeting Bharat-III and Euro-4 emission norms and safety standards.
FUTURE OF CAR INDUSTRY IN INDIA
A Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile Industry
P a g e | 25 I 296
Not very long ago, the only cars that were available in India were the Ambassador and the Premier Padmini. All that was in pre-liberalisation India, which existed before 1991.
Post liberalization, India is on every car manufacturer’s map. The reasons are not hard to notice. Currently, India is the second largest two-wheeler market and the fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world. Not only it is the eleventh largest passenger car market globally, but it is also expected to be the seventh largest by 2016.
Companies like Ford are planning to make India a regional hub for exports of both small cars as well as engines. According to Mr. Michael Boneham, President Designate for Ford India, the company plans to export the small car and the engine for markets abroad. He indicated that one of the markets would be chiefly Ford Asia Pacific Region while other markets are under consideration presently.
There are many reasons for the impressive growth of the Indian car industry. Some of these are comparatively easy availability of vehicle finance, attractive rates of interest, and convenient instalments.
Competition has forced manufacturers to be innovative and responsive to customer demands and needs. Now that India is not alien to quality and perfection, customer expectations have soared to higher levels. Depending upon customers needs, four segments - small, midsize, premium and sports utility vehicles currently represent the car market in the country.
A niche concept cars segment is also emerging wherein reputed re-modellers like DC Chhabria cater to individuals who wish to remodel their vehicles to create concept cars for their use. Contrarily, a segment is also emerging comprising of people who wish to upgrade to cars from two wheelers. Tata already is in the process of launching the small car Nano to suit this segment’s needs. Many other car manufacturers such as Bajaj Auto are also following suit and are in the process of coming up with their specific versions to cater to this segment.
Currently, there is high demand for cars across all these segments. With the growing economy, people left with a lot of disposable income spend it towards meeting their mobility needs such as cars. Banks and other financial institutions have an assortment of vehicle loan schemes with attractive rates of interest and convenient instalments.
These schemes encourage people to go in for loans to purchase cars of their choice. Additionally, a convenient union budget in the current financial year (2008-09) has

P a g e | 26 I 296
worked in favour of the automobile sector, which has seen an uptrend in sales across various segments.
MID SIZE CARS SEGMENT
A Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile Industry
P a g e | 27 I 296
A mid size car is referred to as an automobile with a size between that of compact and full size cars. The price range of mid size cars lies between Rs 3 to 8 lakhs. The mid size cars have the capacity to carry 4 passengers- 2 adults and 2 children.
The credit of manufacturing of these cars goes to companies like- Fiat India, Ford, General Motors, Hindustan Motors, Hyundai motors, Maruti Udyog, San Motors and Tata Motors. While the companies like- Ford, Hyundai, General Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra are yet to launch their models under this segment. This model basically target executive class.

EXTERIOR
Based on the universally accepted design philosophy of safety and compactness, the Hyundai Verna is essentially inspired by the concept of ‘large on the inside and compact outside’. This design treatment is simple. Clean exterior lines with well-proportioned looks. A balanced front end with integrated full width lower intake, moderately flared wheel arches and optional 14" alloy wheels which lends it a sportier look. The strong shoulder lines and confident stance at the same time gives it a strong and well defined character. The overall impression it creates is of a well made car with a dynamic character which ensures that no matter where you go, the Verna, will be an eye-catcher and a stare-grabber par excellence. You just can’t miss it on the roads.

What drives Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Verna?
The Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Verna are targeted at the passionate driver who seeks adventure.
The core target audience for the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Verna is mainly male in the age group of 25-35-plus years, who is an achiever and someone who loves control, precision, is very confident, and drives well. Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Verna are targeted at customers who may be considering fewer luxury features but a bigger brand name.

The setting is wild and rugged. A young urban male takes his Ford Fiesta out on an incredible adventure on the outskirts of his city. Setting up a slalom course of torches, the driver uses his car to light them at high speed, showcasing the maneuver ability and exact precision of the vehicle, all the while listening to his favourite old Hindi song. No driving on wide open roads with a girlfriend in tow and zooming at high speed in this new television commercial.
Indeed, as Scott McCormack, Vice-President (Marketing, Sales and Service), Ford India Pvt Ltd, says, the whole idea was to move away from traditional stereotypes – that the Fiesta is not about just speed and acceleration but control and precision as embodied in the new TVC.
Test drives are an important sales tool, as consumers like to get behind the wheel to make a more informed decision. Fiesta and Hyundai Verna have strategically used their advertisements to reiterate and stimulate the buyer to take the patented five-minute test-drive challenge. This feature of the Fiesta and Hyundai Verna ads helped increase the curiosity in the minds of the prospective buyer. On tracking dealerships, Ford understood that this element specifically has helped skyrocket enquiries from future buyers.
According to Ford India, the Fiesta has contributed largely to its sales; since the car’s launch in 2005, more than 65,000 Fiestas have hit the road. Fiesta has become a significant player in the C segment. However, cross shopping does not happen often in the C segment, even though a premium hatchback customer (B segment) could opt for a sedan for a little bit more. Fiesta launched itself with Abhishek Bachchan as the brand ambassador for a one-year period, and his style and panache helped the brand establish itself early.

PRODUCTION
Production Process of New Tech Motors India:
1. Stamping2.Welding3.Paint4.General Assembly5.Quality6.Production Control
Stamping:In the Stamping Shop, the vehicle begins to take shape. Housed in the shop are large rolls of steel, each weighing between 20,000 and 40,000 pounds. Cranes are used to lift the rolls and put them into the blanking machine, where rectangular pieces, thin as a dime, are cut and stored in racks. The pieces are automatically moved to one of two large, stamping presses with dies moulded into various shapes. Over 5,400 tons of pressure transforms the steel blank into a specific body part.
Welding: The Welding Shop containing robots capable of manoeuvring and welding body parts. These amazing automated machines position stamped body parts and accurately weld them together to form the vehicle body, called a “body-in-white.”Team Members attach hinges, doors, hood and trunk, then check the quality of each car body to confirm the welding process is perfect.
Paint:The completed “body-in-white” moves from the Welding Shop, along a trestle into the Paint Shop for the nine-hour painting process. The vehicle first rotates 360 degrees in a

unique electro coat bath to prepare the entire body for paint. Since the Paint Shop is an environmentally-controlled area, Team Members must wear special overalls and gloves to protect themselves and the paint’s finish. A single particle of dust can affect the overall quality of a vehicles paint finish. After drying, the freshly-painted vehicle body heads to General Assembly.
General Assembly:General Assembly houses approximately 700 Team Members who install a variety of parts to complete the vehicle. The painted vehicle body moves through the trim area where wires, brake controls, and other parts are quickly connected inside the vehicle, under the hood, and in the trunk. The doors are taken off early in the process and sent to another area where speakers, power windows, door seals and other parts are installed. In the chassis area, the underside of the vehicle is completed and the engine and drive train are connected to the body. After the tires, battery, front and rear glass, and seats are installed, the doors are reattached to the vehicle. Oil, engine coolant, gasoline and other vital fluids are added, and then the vehicle is started for the first time. A roll booth tests the braking system and then the vehicle is driven on a two-mile test track to check for rattles or other issues.
Quality:Quality checks are built into each step in the production process. Each vehicle has to pass a series of stringent tests, including satisfactory performance on a two-mile test track.
Production Control:In the production control department, NMIL manages whole supply chain activities and the network, beginning with our customer order, moving from suppliers to manufacturers, then through its own distribution network to its own showrooms, and then to customers.
PROCUREMENT

MACRO & MICRO ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
The car industry environment is very complex due to the large number of product markets, buyers, suppliers and customers, which spread across the globe. As such, it has often been described as "the industry of all industries".
There are various forces that influence this environment.
MACRO ENVIRONMENT
Politically:
Added and increasing taxes on petrol for environmental protection discourage driving or purchasing cars with high petrol-consumption.
In some metropolises congestion-charges also negatively impact on car-usage rates.
Regulations regarding car-safety demand high R&D and upgraded basic configurations.
The road infrastructure, in particular, had been given special importance by the government.
The excise and customs duties on cars and auto-components have been continuously declining over the past five years. These factors have contributed in providing the impetus to the auto sector.
Economically:
Driving a car is becoming increasingly expensive due to adverse changes in petrol prices, maintenance and taxes.
Prospering developing countries like India provide new markets for manufacturers.

P a g e | 107 I 296
Socio-demographically:
Automobiles have developed into lifestyle-products, transferring an image and families owning two or more cars are no rarity.
Generally, preferences head towards smaller and mid size cars for environmental, economical and convenience reasons.
From the ageing populations, the number of active drivers is likely to decrease.
Technologically:
The pace of change and advancements is continuously high leading to new beneficial developments (e.g. lighter, more durable, crash-absorbing materials; IT assists drivers).
Huge Financial resources are required to keep up with the fast pace of changes.
Shorter model-lifecycles and more launches.
Environmentally:
Decreasing oil reserves and increasing pollution may cause severe repercussions on the automobile industry.
Legislative situation:
It includes a lot of treaties and regulations by which automobile manufacturers have to abide. Documents like the Kyoto protocol have worldwide impacts, e.g. on new engine-developments.

MICRO ENVIRONMENT
1. HORIZONTAL COMPETITION
Threat of new entrants:
Threat of new entrants is low regarding new, not established companies, and high regarding existing companies. Existing companies benefit from brand loyalty (maintain old customers), brand identity/awareness (attract new customers) and their absolute cost advantage (existing expertise, resources, facilities, distribution-channels, supplier-networks).
Rivalry is high since the high growth rate of the mid size car segment naturally attracts many existing competitors aiming to cover it. Additionally, low differentiation of products (image and brand-identity main differentiators), heterogeneity of competitors (BMW vs. DaimlerChrysler, Toyota vs. Honda), similarly high financial backing by parent companies and high exit barriers (manufacturers forced to carry on, hence competition does not cease) intensify rivalry.
The threat of substitutes:
Substitutes such as motorcycles or public transport can be a major road block in the growth of mid size car segment.
Switching from mid size cars to large/luxury cars bears instead a greater substitute threat; however, increasing congestions and running costs impact adversely on the consideration to buy a larger vehicle.
2. VERTICAL COMPEITION
A Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile Industry
P a g e | 109 I 296
Bargaining power of suppliers:
The bargaining power of suppliers is low, based on the facts, that supplied parts are not unique and many alternative providers exist (e.g. steel, tires), makes switching easier.
Granting bulk discounts is one area, where suppliers have slight bargaining power, since manufacturers narrow margins depend on those discounts. Nevertheless, the high concentration of suppliers offering substitutes limits this advantage to those, offering (temporarily) unique products (e.g. new IT technology or material development).
The bargaining power of buyers:
The bargaining power of buyers depends on the group and location. Commercial (bulk) buyers (e.g. companies, national authorities), have significantly higher bargaining power than individuals.
Switching costs are moderate, since cars are usually kept for at least three years. Internet price comparisons increase the bargaining power, but this mainly affects dealers.
DEALING WITH RISKA Critical analysis of Hyundai Motors Ltd and Ford Motors from Car automobile
Industry
P a g e | 110 I 296
Environmental issues: From the viewpoint of environmental protection, New Tech will try to reduce CO2 emissions as an effort against global warming. One of the most effective environmental protection efforts we can pursue at this moment is to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines -- which are the primary means to enable people to enjoy the freedom of mobility – in the effort to minimize CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Our company is committed to the development of various new technologies that minimize energy losses and maximize energy efficiency.
Competition: Automobile industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India which has intensified the competition in this sector. To deal with such intense competition and to be ahead of the crowd the only way left is product differentiation and customer relationship management. New Tech is planning to invest heavily in R&D in order to bring out innovative and absolutely unique products. Also, in order to create a brand image in the minds of the customers, New Tech is adopting the strategy of CRM. This will help us to acquire new customers in no time.
Substitutes: Every automobile manufacturer has to deal with generic competition which cannot be avoided directly. However, threat of switching from mid size cars to large/luxury cars can be dealt with to some extent. In order to deal with such risk of switching, we are providing our customers cars that provide them luxury, comfort and an ultimate driving experience. New Tech Comfy is one such example and we have many more to come in future. If customers can get the benefits of large cars in mid size cars, then who will think of switching.

Automobile Industry is the largest industry in India which is currently contributing about 5% of the India’s GDP and it is targeted to grow five fold by 2016.
The onset of automobile industry in India saw companies like Hindustan Motors, Premier Automobiles and Standard Motors catering to the manufacture of automobiles for Indian customers. Hindustan Motors (HM) was the leader in car manufacturing and sales until the 1980s. The policy reforms in 1991 opened up the sector for many foreign auto makers who entered the Indian markets and the competition levels in the Automobile Industry intensified.
India, in auto sector, is turning to be a sourcing base for the global auto majors. It is expected that automobile industry will touch a mark of 13,008 million by 2010. Even the commercial vehicles are likely to grow at 5.2 per cent. To tap this large opportunity, the Indian Auto Companies along with the global giants have announced huge expansion plans.
India is the 11th largest Passenger Cars producing countries in the world. Hyundai Motors India is the second largest player in passenger car market. The passenger car and the motorcycle segment is set to grow by 8-9 per cent in coming couple of years.
Although the Indian automobile industry recorded a de growth in the financial year ended 2007-08, Hyundai Motor India Ltd recorded the highest growth with an increase of 52 per cent.
Automobile industry has a huge potential to grow and prosper in future as manufacturers are investing heavily in new manufacturing and assembly plants in automotive hubs across India and have announced massive expansion plans. Manufacturers are investing overseas and establishing footprints across the world.
The industry is set to have a major impact on India’s future economic growth. The industry is entering into a new phase of its development and evolution, results of which will be visible in over next ten years
Car industry occupies a strategic position in many countries. Currently, there is high demand for cars across all the segments. With the growing economy, people left with a lot of disposable income spend it towards meeting their mobility needs such as cars. Additionally, a convenient union budget in the current financial year (2008-09) has worked in favour of the automobile sector, which has seen an uptrend in sales across various segments. Indian car industry is about to take a new shape altogether with the launch of TATA NANO. Nano is expected to bring about a revolutionary change in the Indian Car Industry.

Ford motors Ltd, which introduced itself in India in 1988, has invested heavily in India to give the finest in automobiles. Ford is having the world class manufacturing capabilities and is always there to provide services and solutions to its customers.
Hyundai Motor is the sixth largest car maker in the world. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is the second largest and the fastest growing car manufacturer in India with its presence in almost all the segments. The company is investing heavily in R&D in order to develop new products and technologies. Hyundai Motor India is following management practices and focusing on developing products that are environment friendly .The company has been awarded various times and achieved another milestone with the launch of Hyundai Verna.
As far as our research is concerned, HMIL is far ahead of Ford India. This difference is on the basis of market share, number of cars sold per year & number of showrooms. HMIL is highly penetrated into the B, B+ segment with huge sale of cars like Santro & now i10. Another reason for HMIL being ahead of Ford India is that Hyundai has been able to better understand the tastes & preferences of Indian customers.
As far as the comparison of Hyundai Verna & Ford Fiesta is concerned, Hyundai Verna is better in Style & Comfort whereas Ford Fiesta is better in Mileage & its prices are less as compared to Hyundai Verna.
Now another car, New Tech Comfy, being launched by NMIL this month is going to make the competition more intense & it will try its best to make the life hard for cars like Hyundai Verna & Ford Fiesta.
The positive demographic factors, pro-reform policies of the government and fast pace of growth of the automobile industry made almost all major global auto players making their way into India. The intense competition has compelled the manufacturers to launch the latest global offering in India as early as possible. It has also enabled to keep the prices of the vehicles under check. The consumers, in turn, have benefited from wide choice of models, technologically advanced cars and better service from the car manufacturers.
