EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project deals with the Analysis of Behavior of people regarding bikes and its different features. The study includes a survey of various mindsets affecting the liking and disliking of bikes. It is being done keeping in mind how these factors will affect it. This will also help the public understand what is affecting their sale and purchase.

1)Industry dynamics

The Indian auto components industry started out small in the 1940s supplying components to Hindustan Motors and Premier Automobiles, two largest manufacturers of automobiles in India at that time. In the 1950s, the arrival of Telco, Bajaj, Mahindra & Mahindra led to steadily increasing production. A closed market with high import tariffs characterized the Indian auto component industry pre 1985. 1985-91 saw significant JVs in the Indian auto component segment with Japanese manufacturers. After 1991, the delicensing of the sector led to global auto manufacturers initiating assembly operations in India. This subsequently led to global Tier I players entering the Indian auto space and the recognition of the potential in the Indian auto component segment.The Automotive Component Manufactures Association (ACMA) classifies the auto ancillary industry into the following product segments: Engine and engine parts: Pistons, piston rings, piston pins, gaskets, carburetors, fuelinjection pumps, etc.

 Drive transmission and steering parts: Transmission gears, steering gears, crown wheels and pinions, axles, wheels, etc. Suspension and braking parts: Leaf springs, shock absorbers, brake assemblies, etc. lectricals: Spark plugs, starter motors, generators, distributors, voltage regulators, flywheel magnetos, ignition coils, etc.

quipment: Dashboard instruments, headlights, horns, wipers, etc. Others: Fan belts, sheet metal parts, plastic mouldings, etc.

The major players in the auto ancillary industry can be classified between the ones catering to the two wheeler industry and the four wheeler industry. MICO, Bharat Forge, Sundaram Clayton, Sundaram Brakes, Rane Brakes, etc. mainly cater to commercial vehicles/tractors. There are many companies like Ucal Fuel, Motherson Sumi, PRICOL, Subros, etc. which supply mainly to car industry. Companies like Munjal Showa, Lakshmi Auto, Omax Auto, etc. cater to two-wheelers.

2) Spectral Performance:
The auto-ancillary was the best performing sector among the intermediate goods. Different segments of the sector such as bearing, casting, fasteners, batteries and tyres have grown in a range of 25-40%. During the June quarter, global automobile majors have announced major investment & domestic automobile companies such as General Motors (GM) and Honda in fragmented auto-ancillary sector. Global majors are in a very critical condition; they are loosing their market share because major automobile companies are being attracted by India, China, & Taiwan. During first quarter of FY07, exports of automobile components grew around 25% compared to the previous quarter on a YoY basis. And exports registered a growth at around Rs 2833 crore compared to ar Rs 3530 crore in the corresponding quarter of FY06. The main reason for boost in export is that the nature of the customer base of overseas market has been undergoing
10

major change. Indian companies are transforming into principal suppliers for the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) from the after sales market or replacement market. During that quarter, production of

autocomponents increased by 15% YoY. And the result came out so far in this quarter is, Shanthi Gears, witnessed a jump in net profits for the quarter ending in September, 2006. During the quarter, the company witnessed a jump in NP at 43.45%, Sales for the quarter rose 31.90% compared with the corresponding quarter, a year ago. The company has facilities for manufacturing patterns, centrifugal castings of phosphor bronze rings, ferrous castings, aluminum castings, heat treatment, forging, fabrications and cutter manufacturing in-house which constitute the major raw materials for gearboxes. Automotive Axles reported marginal improvement in the net profits for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. During the quarter, the company reported a 2.30% rise in profits and Sales for the quarter rose 35.15% compared with the corresponding quarter, -

3)Future Outlook
Given the significant scale up of capacities by the domestic majors, and their improving global cost effectiveness, the domestic auto ancillaries are well set to sustainable scale up their share of the global auto component pie. The players are aggressively focusing on new client acquisition, inorganic growth in developed countries and cost reduction measures on fronts like quality, delivery, design and management. Growth in the domestic market would be driven by sustained growth in supplies to OEMs as well as acceleration in the demand from replacement market. Moreover, cars, 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. Simultaneously, foreign auto majors like Ford and Hyundai are making India its manufacturing base for several models. Overall, the short to medium term outlook for the domestic auto component producers is positive. Automobile industry, which is a key driver of auto-component industry, is likely to grow at 12-17%. Along with this some other key drivers including exports, outsourcing, and replacement market are slowing down competitiveness in global markets in turn boosting the productivity of Indian auto components industry. Setting up a new plant by existing companies and out-sourcing by the foreign vendors will result in domestic companies
11

benefiting, either by

exporting from domestic facilities or setting up facilities in those locations. To meet the

emerging opportunities and challenges, Indian vendors are diversifying across products, processes, clients and markets. Companies that have restricted themselves to domestic business have seen modest growth and flat margins. A robust business outlook is expected to drive strong revenue growth for the auto-component industry. Steel is a major raw material in manufacturing of parts. Since mid January 2006, the domestic steel prices have been increasing. Similarly, other inputs like non-ferrous metal, fuel, and transport costs have also been increasing. However, the auto ancillaries are not able to pass on the rise in costs, due to quality and price consciousness of auto majors. Fortunately, healthy rise in volumes, players move up the value chain, increasing exports together facilitated them to cushion the rise in costs, and enabled them to maintain margins. Hindustan Composites is planning break lining and clutch facing unit near the proposed Tata Motor plant at Singur in Hooghly district of West Bengal. The company has already started discussion with few tier 1 component manufacturer of Tata Motors in this regard The company is planning to tie up with an outfit which is likely to be entrusted with for the break assembly of small car. Tata Motors is overhauling its outsourcing policy across all categories of cars. As part of this policy, which is aimed at keeping costs under control, the company has taken a conscious decision to move away from the multiple vendor models to a single vendor model. Bharat Forge Ltd. (BFL), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Maharashtra to jointly develop a multi-product Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Khed Taluka of Pune District. The SEZ is expected to attract investments of about Rs. 25,000 crores and generate 120,000 new employment opportunities. The project has received in-principle approval from the Board of Approval, Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. The project would be implemented through a Special PurposeS Vehicle (SPV) to be jointly promoted by BFL Kalyani Group and the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in which the two promoters would hold upto 74% and 26

Sales Forecasting 1. Trend projection method:

This classical method of business forecasting is essentially concerned with the study of movements of variables through time. It is used under the assumption that the factors responsible for past trends in the variable to be projected will continue to play their part in the future in the same manner and to the same extent in magnitude and direction. There are three techniques of trend projection: Graphical method Least square method Box-Jenkins method

Sales forecast of Pulsar for the year 2008 using Least Square method (which is same as simple linear regression method): YEAR 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 TOTAL SALES(S)in Crores 865 1011.55 1374.94 1512.43 1647.86 1799.6 8211.38 T 1 2 3 4 5 6 21 T2 1 4 9 16 25 36 91 ST 865 2023.1 4124.82 6049.72 8239.3 10797.6 32099.54

29

30

1.Trend Projection Method:

The straight line trend equation used for projecting future sales is: S = a + bT Where, S = annual sales T = time in years a, b are constants

The constants a and b are estimated by solving the following two equations: S = na + bT ST = aT + bT2

Here, n = 6 S = 8211.38 crores ST = 32099.54 crores T = 21 T2 = 91

31

On solving the above two equations we get, a = 696.63 and b = 191.98

RMSE Calculation:
On the basis of the calculated values of a and b, the predicted sales value for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 will be: Sp2006 = 696.63 + (191.98*7) = 2040.49 crore Sp2007 = 696.63 + (191.98*8) = 2232.47 crore Sp2008 = 696.63 + (191.98*9) = 2424.45 crore

And, the actual sales values for the above three years are: Sa2006 = 2072.00 crore Sa2007 = 2487.00 crore Sa2008 = 3497.00 crore RMSE = {(3497.00 2424.45)2 + (2487.00 2232.47) 2+ (2072.00 2040.49)2}1/2 (3) 1/2 = 636.69

32

Sales for 2009 and 2010 can also be forecasted: S2009 = 696.63 + (191.98*10) = 2616.43 crore S2010 = 696.63 + (191.98*11) = 2808.41 crore

3. Exponential smoothing:
It is a popular technique for short-run forecasting. It uses a weighted average of past data as the basis for a forecast. It gives higher weight to most recent data and least weight to observations of distant past. The weights for past data are chosen in accordance with their degree of influence on the future. The formula for exponential smoothing isST+1 = AyT + (1-a) St Where, St+1 = exponentially smoothed forecast Yt = actual sales of previous year St = forecasted sales of last year

Now, we apply this method on the available sales data of AWL considering a six period average as the initial forecast for the year 2006:

33

S2006

= (865.00+1011.55+1374.94+1512.43+1647.86+1799.60)/6 = 1368.56

We take the smoothing constant, a = 0.4 Therefore, S2007 = (0.4*2072) + (0.6*1368.56) = 1649.93 S2008 = (0.4*2487) + (0.6*1509.25) = 1984.75

RMSE Calculation:
RMSE = {(2072.00 1368.56)2+ (2487.00 1649.93)2 + (3497 (3 )1/2 1984.75)2 }1/2

34

= 1077.406

Sales for the year 2009 can also be predicted as: S2009 = (0.4*3497.00) + (0.6*1984.75) = 2589.65 cr

Calculation of Correlation:

35

Correlation Coefficient = 3359.71/(6-1)*(364.848*1.871) =0.984

This shows that there is a high degree of correlation between the time period and sales i.e more the time period, more are the sales. This means that sales are highly dependent on the time period positively.

Calculation of Herfindahl Index

Market shares of various brands in premium segment i.e. 150-220 c.c.
36

Pulsar : 41% Hero Honda: 27% TVS: 25% Royal Enfield: 5% Yamaha: 2% Herfindahl Index: (41^2)+(27^2)+(25^2)+(5^2)+(2^2) =3064 Since the value of H (Herfindahl index) is high, we can say that the concentration ratio is also high in the segment of premium bikes.

CONCLUSION

40

CONCLUSION

The bike was launched in the year 2000, and for it to capture the largest share of market and beat existing and flourishing brands like Hero Honda is a great achievement. Also the root mean square error value in the least square method is less than that in the exponential forecasting method. Thus, the sales predicted by least square method will be a better estimate of the future sales than that predicted by exponential forecasting method. The maximum buyers are of the age group 24-30 , hence it can be interpreted as being popular in college going youth. A majority group belonging to the pulsar kind of bikes is more from the income group category 3-5 & 510 lakh group The maximum number of bikes lie in the range between 40-50 thousands which is also a usp of pulsar as it is almost near to the given range and provides a better value for money. The youth were more inclined towards the adventure part of bikes ,looks, consult friends, use television and internet and prefer style and value the most whereas for the elders go for household and office, mileage, family, print, value and brand before making a bike purchase.

41

Annual incomes have a direct correlation with increasing demands of consumer also. Pulsar overall enjoys a favorable demand among all the categories and consist of maximum alluring qualities amongst the tested ones.

YAMAHA MOTORS INDIA LTD. LOHIA MOTORS LTD. MAJESTIC MOTORS LTD.

43

Competitors
HERO HONDA
Hero Honda Motors Ltd. is a popular motorcycle company in India. This company, started in 1984, was a successful joint venture between Hero Cycles and Honda Motor Company of Japan.

Since the commencement of the company, Hero Honda has manufactured and sold more than 15 million motorcycles. The company has established a niche in the competitive Indian and international market for manufacturing low maintenance and high fuel efficient motorcycles. Its the no. 1 two wheeler mfg. in the world.

ROYAL ENFIELD

When it comes to Indian motorcycle, Royal Enfield hits the mind of every Indian motorcycle lovers because it is one of the premier bike companies in India. This company was founded by the son of George Townsend in 1851 and was further taken over by Albert Edie and R.W. Smith in 1891.

44

T.V.S MOTORS

TVS Motor Company Ltd and Yamaha Motor India Ltd also have carved a niche in the Indian motorcycle market. TVS Motor Company, established by T. V. Sundaram Iyengar in 1911, is believed to be the third largest manufacturer of two-wheeler in India.

TVS came up with the first two-seater moped in 1980 that eventually defined the dominion of personal transportation in India. This company entered into a joint venture with Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan in 1982. This collaboration was the first company to introduce a 100-cc motorcycle in the markets of India

YAMAHA

Yamaha Motor India Ltd. is continuously making efforts to break down the competitive two wheeler market in India and win the battle with its business strategies. The business strategies and principles of this company is customer fulfillment through quality service, research and development for introducing high end motorcycles and optimization of the working system

NDINGS

In the conclusions section, we identify and describe attributes of successful companies including:

production efficiency, well-planned cost structures, manageable size, distributed management of brands, attention to underserved markets, focused strategy, and well-respected brands and products. We then move from specific company attributes to identifying key trends in the automotive industry as a whole including: international expansion, conglomeration in mature markets, distributed competition in new markets, increased environmental regulation, increased energy constraints, and increased operational efficiency. Using these trends, we predict where the industry is headed and how it will evolve to meet new challenges. The report concludes with the recommendation section, which provides a prediction of the near-future success of each of the analyzed companies. The outlook is not great for any of the four well-established, Euro-American companies considered in this report: DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen. Of these companies, we conclude that DaimlerChrysler seems to be holding up the best. The future looks much more promising for the four Asian companies with international market reach that were studied: Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, and Toyota. Toyota stands out as being best positioned for success in the near future, while Honda will most likely continue to be successful on a smaller scale. And although currently successful, it is much more difficult to predict the future success of Maruti Udyog and Shanghai Automotive Industrial Company. Both companies remain mainly focused on the Indian and Chinese markets, respectively, and thus lack the geographical diversity that smoothes the market performance of some of their larger competitors
