INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

Automobile Industry
One of the major industrial sectors in India is the automobile sector. Subsequent to the liberalization, the automobile sector has been aptly described as the sunrise sector of the Indian economy as this sector has witnessed tremendous growth. Automobile Industry was delicensed in July 1991 with the announcement of the New Industrial Policy. The passenger car industry was, however, delicensed in 1993. No industrial licence is required for setting up of any unit for manufacture of automobiles except in some special cases. The norms for Foreign Investment and import of technology have also been progressively liberalized over the years for manufacture of vehicles including passenger cars in order to make this sector globally competitive. At present 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is permissible under automatic route in this sector including passenger car segment. With the gradual liberalization of the automobile sector since 1991, the number of manufacturing facilities in India has grown progressively. The cumulative production data for April-January 2010 shows production growth of 23.07 percent over same period last year.

 On the canvas of the Indian economy, automotive industry occupies a prominent place. A sound transportation system plays a pivotal role in the country's rapid economic and industrial development. Automotive Industry comprises of automobile and auto component sectors and is one of the key drivers of the national economy as it provides large-scale employment, having a strong multiplier effect. Being one of the largest industries in India, this industry has been witnessing impressive growth during the last two decades. It has been able to restructure itself, absorb newer technology, align itself to the global developments and realize its potential. This has significantly increased automotive industry's contribution to overall industrial growth in the country.

Rivalry Among Firms HIGH

The key players in two-wheeler industries are Hero Honda motor ltd. (HHML), Bajaj Auto ltd and TVS motor Company ltd. The other players are Kinetic, LML, Yamaha, Majestic auto ltd, Royal Enfield ltd and Honda motorcycle & scooter India. Two-wheelers domestic market growth rate for 2008-09 is 19.4% which is very high when compared to that of three wheelers, Passenger and commercial vehicles. Indian Auto policy 2002 gives added advantage to two-wheeler manufacturers to enter even other countries outside India. Since big manufacturer plant with high technology and good R&D team needed many of them dose not enter in two-wheeler Industries. Only the companies which are in automobile line will expand their product line like Mahindra.

Threat of New Entrants Low to Moderate

Capital investment is very huge Sportsbikes entering in Indian market Harley Davidson launching in India

Threat of Substitute Products Low to Moderate

Substitute products for two-wheeler industries are bus transportation, Auto transportation and even low-end cars, but people using two-wheelers can only use the service of buses and auto as a substitute product. Sometimes low-end car is a substitute product for the people using high-end motorcycles. Normal buses to hi-tech ac buses which is threat to two-wheeler industry. Penetration of Metro trains in Metropolitans.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers Low

Some of the components in two-wheeler industry are very common for all the two-wheeler industries like steel, aluminum, tyres and tubes, these material are available in abundant. This makes them to drive a smooth production of their finished products.

Bargaining Power of Customer High

Buyer has added advantage than seller because there are five to six big popular brands of two-wheelers are available in India, so that they can switch brand from one another. Buyers are very conscious in spending their money to purchase two-wheeler, because it attracts most of the middle-income groups seller cannot price their product very high.

Threat of Substitute Products

Threat Of New Entrants

High In most markets, the capital and expertise needed to setup an auto or parts manufacturing facility, would be a great enough barrier to entry to prevent many new entrants from setting up. However, given India's incredible growth forecasts, infrastructure progress (especially new and better roads), and ever-expanding financing options to rural residents, the market is attractive. As such, we expect the threat of new entrants to be high. Although the barriers to new companies are substantial, establishing companies are entering the new markets through strategic partnerships or through buying out or merging with other companies. However, a domestic company, with local knowledge and expertise, has the potential to compete its home market against the global firms who are not well established there.

Bargaining Power Of Customers

High Buyers in India have a wide variety of choice. There are more than 20 foreign manufacturers selling in India (including ultra high-end such as Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini). Of course there are also a plethora of incredibly cheap choices, like the famous Tata Nano. In the relationship between the industry and its ultimate consumers, the power axis is tipped in the consumers favor. This is due to the fairly standardized nature and the low switching costs associated with selecting from among competing brands.

Threat of Substitute Products

Moderate India is famous for its two-wheelers (bikes and mopeds) and threewheelers. These are very real and obvious threats to auto manufacturers. The threat of substitutes to the automotive industry is fairly mild. Numerous other forms of transportation are available, but none offer the utility, convenience, independence and value offered by automobiles. The switching cost associated with using a different mode of transportation, may be high in terms of personal time, convenience and utility.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Low to Moderate It is likely that the suppliers to the manufacturers have considerable bargaining power. They are not held ransom by one single manufacturer as they can market their products to any of the others in India. In the relationship between the industry and its suppliers, the power axis is tipped in industrys favor. The industry is comprised of powerful buyers who are generally able to dictate their terms to the suppliers.

Rivalry Among Firms

High The industry is not yet in its shake-out phase and is still struggling to find the up-and-coming stars and possibly topple the leaders. Despite the high concentration ratio seen in the automotive sector, rivalry in the Indian auto sector is intense due to the entry of foreign companies in the market. The industry rivalry is extremely high with any being product being matched in a few months by the competitors. This instinct of the industry is primarily driven by technical capabilities acquired over years of gestation under the technical collaboration with international players.

INDIAN COMMERCIAL VEHICLE INDUSTRY

Structure of the Indian CV Industry

The CV industry in India is split between the LCV and M&HCV segments. GVW less than 7.5 tonnes are classified as LCVs. The ones heavier than these are termed M&HCVs. In terms of usage, CVs may be categorised as goods carriers and passenger carriers. The overall CV industry is split between the LCV and M/HCV segments roughly in the ratio of 45:55. Around 13% of the vehicles sold in the LCV as well as the M/HCV segment are passenger carriers. Most market segments of the Indian CV industry currently operate as duopolies, with the top two players together accounting for a market share of over 85%.

SWOT ANALYSIS
S
Strengths
Wide variety of offerings from low end cars to SUVs for the Indian market. Strong brand recognition amongst truckers and transportation firms This also implies a wide network of support facilities, making them cheaper to run and maintain than many. The company has had a successful alliance with Italian mass producer Fiat since 2006.

Weaknesses
The company's passenger car products are based upon 3rd and 4th generation platforms. Tata has not got a foothold in the luxury car segment in its domestic, Indian market. Customers perceive TATA as commercial vehicle manufacturers.

Opportunities
Nano is the cheapest car in the World retailing at little more than a motorbike. The new Land Rover and Jaguar models will help gaining share in luxury segment. The new global track platform is about to be launched from its Korean (previously Daewoo) plant. The range of Super Milo fuel efficient buses are powered by superefficient, eco-friendly engines.

Threats
Other competing car manufacturers have been in the passenger car business for 40, 50 or more years. Sustainability and environmentalism could mean extra costs for this low-cost producer. Other players developing luxury cars targeted at the Indian market include Ford, Honda, Toyota and Volks Wagon. Rising diesel prices in Global Market.
