INDUSTRY PROFILE
History of Two Wheeler Industry
India is the second largest manufacturer and producer of two wheelers in the world. It
stands next only to Japan and China in terms of the number of two wheelers
produced and domestic sales respectively. The distinction was achieved due to
variety of reasons like respective policy followed by Government of India
towards the passenger car industry, rising demand for personal transport,
inefficiency in the public transportation system etc. Invention of Two-Wheelers
History can't be stored or categorized in a water tight compartment; neither can some
things be definitely told or strictly defined. In this section a general history of
two-wheelers is being traced without trying to venture into strict classification
and differentiation. Around 1840 a Scotsman named Kirpatrick Macmillan
came up with an idea of a pedal driven bicycle, Macmillan a blacksmith by
profession got the idea when he was asked to repair a hobby horse. The first
bicycle which its inventor called velocipede slowly started catching the fancy of
the people, as inquisitive minds started thinking of faster ways of getting around
the town.
Ind 1868 in France MIchaux-Perraux attached a small steam engine to a bicycle thus
adding a little more steam to the development. Around the same time across the
Atlantic a similar steam propelled machine was demonstrated by built by
Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts.
However the invention of the first motorcycle was done by the German inventors
ottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. The first petroleum-powered
vehicle, it was essentially a motorized bicycle, although the inventors called
their invention the Reitwagen ('riding car'). This engine was prepared more for
experimentation rather than for commercial purposes.
However as early as 1894 a motorcycle was available for commercial purposes. The
bike named Hildebrand and Wolfmuller was manufactured in a small scale few
hundreds to be precise. These two wheelers died a natural death due to high cost
and technical difficulties.
Slowly the motorcycles were improved upon and soon they become faster, reliable
and more fuel efficient. For a separate history on the development of scooters
check out origin of scooters
The History of Indian two Wheeler Industry
In 1955, the Indian government needed sturdy and reliable motorcycles for its Army
and police to patrol the rugged border highways. The first batch of 350cc Bullet
from the Royal Enfield Company of UK were received and assembled at
Chennai.
Bajaj Auto began trading in imported Vespa scooters and three wheelers. Finally in
1960, it set up a shop to manufacture then in collaboration with Piaggio of Italy. The
agreement expired in 1971.
In the initial stages, the scooter segment was dominated by API,it was later overtaken
by Bajaj Auto. Although various government and private enterprise entered the fray
for scooters, the only new player that has lasted till today is LML.
Under the regulated regime, foreign companies were not allowed to operate in India.
It was a complete seller market with the waiting period for getting a scooter from
Bajaj Auto being as high as 12 years
The motorcycles segment was no different, with only three manufactures viz Enfield,
Ideal Jawa and Escorts .While Enfield bullet was a four stroke bike,Jawa and the
Rajdoot were two stroke bikes. The motorcycle segment was initially dominated by
Enfield 350 cc bikes and Escorts 175 cc bike.
The two wheeler market was opened to foreign competion in the mid -80s.And then
the market leaders Escorts and Enfield were caught unaware by the onslaught of the
100 cc bikes of the four Indo –Japanese joint ventures.
With the availability of fuel –efficient low power bike, demand swelled, resulting in
Hero Honda then only producer for four stroke bikes (100 cc category ),gaining top
slot.
The first Japanese motorcycles were introduced in the early eighties. TVS Suzuki and
Hero Honda brought in the first two stroke and four stroke engine motorcycles
respectively. These two players initially started with assembly of CKD kits, and later
on progressed to indigenous manufacturing. In the 90s the major growth of
motorcycles segment was brought in Japanese motorcycles, which grew at a rate of
nearly 25% in the last five years.
The industry had a smooth ride in the 50s,60s and 70s when the government
prohibited new entries and strictly controlled capacity expansion. The industry saw a
sudden growth in the 80s. The industry witnessed a steady growth of 14% leading to
peak volume of 1.9mn vehicles in 1990.
The entry of Kinetic Honda in mid –eighties with a variometric scooter helped in
providing ease of use to the scooter owners. This helped in inducing youngsters and
working women towards buying scooters, who were earlier inclined towards moped
purchase. In the 90s ,this trend was reversed with the introduction of Scooterette. In
the line with this, the scooter segment has constiently lost its part of the market share
in the two wheeler market.
In 1990s, the entire automobile industry saw a drastic fall in demand. This resulted in
a decline of 15% in 1991 and 8% in 1992,resulting in a production loss of 0.4 mn
vehicles. Barring loss due to increase rise in fuel prices, high input cost and reduced
purchasing power due to significant rise in general price level and credit crunch in
consumer financing .factors like increased production in 1992,due to new entrants
coupled with the recession in the industry resulted in companies either reporting
losses or fall in profits.
Segmental Classification and Characteristics

The three main products segments in the two wheeler category are scooters,
motorcycles and mopeds. However, in response to evolving demographics and
various others factors, other sub segment emerged, viz.scootrretess, gearless scooters,
and 4 stroke scooters .While the first two emerged as a response to demographics
changes, the introduction of 4 stroke scooters has followed the imposition of stringent
pollution

TWO WHEELER Manufactures
• The Major Two wheeler Manufactures of India are

• TVS Motors Company LTD ( TVS )
• Honda Motors Ltd ( HHML )
• Bajaj Auto Ltd ( Bajaj Auto )
• Yamaha Motors India Ltd ( Yamaha )
• Honda Motorcycles & Scooter India ( P ) Ltd ( HMSI )
• Royal Enfield Ltd ( REL )
• Kinetic Motor Company Ltd ( KMCL )
The Indian two wheeler industry is highly dominated by three players TVS Motors
Company ( TVS ) ,HERO HONDA Motors Ltd ( HHML ) and Bajaj Auto Ltd (Bajaj
Auto ) accounting for over 80 % of sales in 2007.
Technology
Hitherto, technology transfer to the Indian two-wheeler industry took place mainly
through: licensing and technical collaboration (as in the case of Bajaj Auto and LML);
and joint ventures (HHML). .
A third form - that is, the 100% owned subsidiary route - found favour in the early
2000s. A case in point is HMSI, a 100% subsidiary of Honda, Japan. Table 2 details
the alliances of some major two-wheeler manufacturers in India.
Besides the below mentioned technology alliances, Suzuki Motor Corporation has
also followed the strategy of joint ventures (SMC reportedly acquired equity stake in
Integra Overseas Limited for manufacturing and marketing Suzuki motorcycles in
India).

With the two-wheeler market, especially the motorcycle market, becoming extremely
competitive and the life cycle of products getting shorter, the ability to offer new
models to meet fast changing customer preferences has become imperative. In this
context, the ability to deliver newer products calls for sound technological backing
and this has become one of the critical differentiating factor among companies in the
domestic market. Thus, the players have increased their focus on research and
development with some having indigenously developed new models as well as
improved technologies to cater to the domestic market. Further, with exports being
one of the thrust areas for some Indian two-wheeler companies, the Indian original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have realised the need to upgrade their technical
capabilities. These relate to three main areas: fuel economy, environmental
compliance, and performance. In India, because of the cost-sensitive nature of the
market, fuel efficiency had been an interest area for manufacturers.
It is not only that the OEMs are increasing their focus on in-house R&D, they also
provide support to the vendors to upgrade the technology and also assist them striking
technological alliances.

TVS Motors: In 1980 TVS 50, India's first two-seater moped rolled out of the factory
at Hosur in Tamil Nadu, Southern India. A byword for reliability, the TVS 50 had
proved itself promising and successful in every test and paved a way for many
successes for TVS Suzuki. Likewise the TVS champ and super Champ gave a reliable

PRODUCTS ARE
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND FOR THE PROJECT
The marketing is a process which starts with customer and ends with customer. The
Customer has become the main focus and all the marketing strategies revolve around
him. Previously the manufacture used to make a product and the self it to the
customer without any importance to after sales-service. But the market has totally
changed know and based on the customer wants the services are designed and
provided and the best example for this is SAP.
In case of services industry also the scenario has totally changed. Till early 90’s
companies did not pay much attention to after sales service and they mainly
concentrated only on the sale of the product. But later after LPG(Liberalization
Privatization Globalization) there was a vast change in Indian economy as most of the
foreign companies entered the Indian market and competition creped in and it was Do
or Die situation for the Indian companies. It was a tough task for the Indian
companies to compete with these global players. The Global players were more
customer centric and believed that service is the only way to keep in close proximity
with customers. The Indian companies also began to realize the importance of service
industry contributes 52% to Indian economy according a latest survey. The after sales
service plays a vital role in the customer choice of the vehicle.
RATIONALE BEHIND THE CHOICE OF THE PROJECT
The Indian automotive industry consists of five segments: commercial vehicles; multi
utility vehicle & passenger cars; two-wheelers; three-wheelers; and tractors. With
9,822,963 units sold in the domestic market and 8,53,591 units exported during the
first nine months of FY 2007 (9MFY 2007), the industry (excluding tractors) marked
a growth of 26% over the corresponding previous. The two- wheelers sales have
witnessed a spectacular growth trend since the mid nineties.
The Two-wheeler market in India is growing at a rapid rate of 26%. India is the
second largest two-wheeler market in the world, today. Two-wheeler account 79% of
the total automobile sales in India. The three main product segments in the two-
wheeler category, motorcycles dominate, largely because when compared to scooters
or mopeds, they are seen as objects of desire, in addition to utility. Out of the nearly
nine million two-wheeler sold annually in India today, 3.8 million are motorcycles.
Due to increase in the sales of the vehicle the need for after sales service has also
become very important. The after sales service is playing a main role in the choice of
the vehicle. The various customer satisfaction surveys carried out points that the
customer awareness regarding servicing of their vehicles has increased and customers
perceive the after sales service as an important aspect.
The increasing focus towards post-sales customer satisfaction has made me choose
this topic for my MCP. Beside all this was, an underlying interest in automobiles,
which made me to choose this project.

RECOMMENDATION
Following are some of the recommendations I would like to give based on analysis of
data collected from respondents and also my personal observation during the visit to
the service center
 Maintain Customer Database and follow-up the dropouts of the service.
 Get the regular feedback from the customer and improve on the areas
suggested by the customer
 Personalize the service by maintaining a particular staff to a particular
customer based on customer preference.
 Regularly communicate the customer regarding various schemes.
 Introduce various schemes for student segments like giving discounts on
servicing
 Work upon the delivery time of the vehicle.
 Improve upon the Water Wash service, as it is the most important aspect
in two-wheeler service.
 Get feedback from the customer regarding the Problem Rectification.
 Conduct regular customer satisfaction survey to keep a track of level of
customer satisfaction.
LIMITATIONS
Following were the some of the limitation encountered during the project tenure.
 All the practical experiences cannot be put on the paper.
 The units of TVS bikes in the Twin City is very large and the sample
chosen may not represent the entire population.
 The respondents view could be biased and ambiguous.
 The research was conducted in Hubli City between Dec 10 April 19 and
the findings are related to particular area and time only.
 Due to busy schedule of respondents it was difficult to even interact with
them.
 The respondent’s satisfaction for service of Two-wheeler is difficult to
measure and the analysis of data is through personal experience.
 The given time span for study was very less to cover the topic of the study.
 There are many areas on which the project can be further worked upon.
