INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

REFEREENCE TVS LATHANANDMOTORS

HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

According to a study conducted by global consulting firm Frost and Sullivan, the two-
wheeler industry will be the fastest-growing segment of the Indian automobile industry.
The study said that of all personal transportation vehicles, the motorcycle segment will
grow the fastest, followed by passenger cars. Automotive sales in the country will get a
boost from cuts in the excise duty, new model launches, higher disposable incomes and
a changing consumer mindset. The Indian automotive market is now a buyer’s market
and the general economic slowdown makes it imperative for industry participants to
stay ahead of demand trends, said the firm.

Two wheelers 78.63%


Passenger vehicles 10.44%
Commercial
vehicles 4.03%
Three wheelers 3.90%

Two-wheelers: Market Size & Growth


In terms of volume, 4,613,436 units of two-wheelers were sold in the country in
9MFY2005 with 256,765 units exported. The total two-wheeler sales of the Indian
industry accounted for around 77.5% of the total vehicles sold in the period mentioned.

Performance and convenience - the Innovation drivers

The RTR Promise the story of the TVS Apache RTR goes a long way down the Racing
heritage of TVS Motor Company. With expertise in racing for over 15 years, the
company launched the TVS Apache RTR (Racing Throttle Response) in 2007. The bike
is a good example of racing heritage brought to mainstream. Like all Motocross bikes,
the TVS Apache RTR sports a short stroke engine, over-square, with a bore stroke ratio
of 5:4 - termed Racing Throttle Response - providing instant acceleration and a ride that
needs to be experienced. The Ergonomics is track inspired; the riding position is unique
in its class, adding to all this is the aerodynamism of the vehicle. The rest of the features
- digital speedometers, roto petal disc brakes are completely from the track. In its earlier
avatar, TVS Apache 150 was the bike of the year - 2006 and has the unique distinction
of winning 6 awards in a year.

Styling

Style and technology made affordable Today’s needs are very unique. While people
want their bikes to be in line with the gadgets they use, they are also keen to get value
for money. Add to this the task of bringing out cleaner, fuel-efficient bikes, and the
challenge becomes even tougher. The Research and Development team at TVS Motor
Company has worked efficiently in every aspect to provide better bikes - better looks,
better fuel efficiency and better performance. Ask anyone who has ridden the RTR and
they will simply compare the bike to a 250 cc. Delivering 15 bhp from a 160-cc engine,
the bike is certainly tweaked for performance. The pickup is terrific and one needs to
feel the rev of the RTR engine to get into its spirit. Fuel economy, lower emission,
lesser weight - The value Drivers: All technology features aimed at by all value around
TVS have these as the primary goals. While the performance aspect is taken to its

optimum, the engineers at TVS try to work towards building bikes that are easy to ride,
at the same time are easy on the environment. Inspiration from aero planes - the magic
of CCVTI the CCVTI technology helps deliver higher power, at the same time
maintaining fuel Economy. The CCVTI technology features total 3 ports, out of which 2
different intake ports called Swirl port & Power port and 1 Exhaust port. Swirl port
creates swirl motion of air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This Swirl motion
helps in efficient combustion of lean air fuel mixture thus giving highest fuel economy
in its class. Power Port gives high flow rate, which is a greater air-fuel mixture, which
helps in delivering high power.

Eco dynamism - Green Bikes:

At TVS every product is built as a green initiative. By being responsible today, we


believe we are enabling a better tomorrow. Building fuel economical vehicles to
positively impact our ecosystem is at the heart of our Eco dynamism. All technology
features are aimed at providing value to a customer -be it matching the features -
expectation or price point. While the performance aspect is taken to its optimum, the
engineers at TVS try to work towards building bikes that are easy to ride, economical to
maintain and at the same time are easy on the environment.

Electric Scotty:

Did you know that by 2020 the scrap generated from end-of-life vehicles in India will
be about 2.5 million tones? And, as much as 40 per cent of this will come from two
wheelers. Sad fact is that India does not have any infrastructure to handle scrap and also
the number of vehicles available for scrapping now is not significant to justify a huge
investment on infrastructure now. While scrapping of old vehicles is looming large as a
national environmental issue, TVS can proudly assert that 85% of all TVS vehicles are
completely recyclable.

Customer satisfaction:

Customer satisfaction is a term frequently used in marketing. is a measure of


how products and services by a company meet the customer expectation Customer
satisfaction is defined as “the number of customers, or percentage of total customers,
whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds
specified satisfaction goals.” In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71
percent responded that they found a customer satisfaction metric very useful in
managing their businesses.

It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a


balanced scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for
customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has
become a key element of business strategy.

“Within organization, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects.


They focus employees on importance of fulfilling customer’s expectations.
Furthermore, when these ratings dip, they warn of problems that can effect sales and
profitability. These metrics quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal
customers, it gains positive word- of- mouth marketing, which is both free and highly
effective.”

Therefore, it is essential for business to effectively manage customer satisfaction. To be


able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction.

“In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product
or service has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind
satisfaction. When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will
be disappointed and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this
reason, a luxury resort, for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a
budget motel even though its facilities and services would be deemed superior in
‘absolute’ terms.”

Customer satisfaction is a measure of how well a company product and services


meet or exceed the customers’ expectations are customer needs, wants, product services
the customer happy customer satisfaction level can be measured using survey
techniques and questionnaires achieving a high level of customer

satisfaction is critical for a business because most satisfied customer are likely to be
loyal and place repeat orders as well as wide range of services offered by the company.

There are numerous factors that contribute to high level of customer satisfaction
including customer focused products and services that provide excellent value for
money.

Customer satisfaction refer to the emotional response that people feel after
making purchase from a company the more positive level of customer satisfaction the
more likely the purchase is to comeback and buy again and recommend that company to
others who are looking for what the seller has to offer. Marketers have discovered that
is generally more profitable to maintain existing customers than to replace them with
new customers retaining current customers required that they be satisfied with their
purchase and use of the product therefore customer satisfaction is a major concern of
marketers.

Satisfaction of buyer depends on the product or service performance in relation


to buyer expectations in general satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or
disappointment resulting from comparing products perceived performance in relation to
his or her exceptions if the performance falls short of expectations customer dissatisfied
if the performance matches the expectations the customer is satisfied if the performance
exceeds expectations the customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

1.Encourage face to face dealings:

This is the most and downright scary part of interacting with a


customer. If you are not used to this sort of thing it can be pretty nerve – wracking
experience.

Rest assured, through it does get easier over time it’s important to meet your customers
face to face at least once or even twice during the course of project.

2.Respond to messages promptly & keep your clients informed

This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait
message and you'll contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if days for a response
to an email or phone call. It might not always be practical to deal with all customers'
queries within the space of a few hours, but at least email or call them back and let them
know you've received their you're not able to solve a problem right away, let the
customer know you're working on it.

3.Be friendly and approachable:

It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like
you're their friend and you're there to help them out. There will be times when you want
to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt object - it happens to all of us.
It's vital that you keep a clear head, respond to your clients' wishes as best you can, and
at all times remain polite and courteous

4. Have a clearly-defined customer service

POLICY: A clearly defined customer service policy is going to save a lot of time and
effort in the long run. If a customer has a problem, then what should be done and what
not. Should they contact different people for billing and technical enquiries? If they're
not satisfied with any aspect of your customer service, who should they tell?

There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to person, or
not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what to do at each stage of

KARNATAK UNIVERSITY POST-GRADUATE


34
CENTRE, GADAG

REFEREENCE TVS LATHANANDMOTORS

their enquiry should be of utmost importance. So, make sure your customer service
policy is present on your site -- and anywhere else it may be useful. In Suzuki all terms
& conditions are clearly mentioned so that no doubt in customer mind.

5. Attention to detail (also known as "the little niceties)”

Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers,
it's something. It shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other end of that
screen or telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed,
wanted and valued.

Lathanad MOTORS has kept details of all customers and makes them happy on specific
occasion.

“conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience.”

disappointment resulting from comparing a product perceived performance in
relation to his or her expectation. “In short customer expectation in terms of

 Lathanad motors should improve the quality of service and availability of


spare parts which will help the company to attract more customers to get their
vehicles serviced with Lathanad motors. Because 85% of respondents were
said that they may be visit Lathanad motors service Centre again
 Lathanad motors should improve upon the delivery time they take to give
back the vehicles after attending servicing which will improve customer
satisfaction. Because 30% of respondent’s satisfaction level average.
 Lathanad motors should expand their service station area to attend more
vehicles.
 The company should make improvements in service reception and customer
waiting area so that the customers visiting will find their waiting to be
comfortable. They should provide proper sitting arrangements in an office
with some basic amenities like drinking water, newspaper, TV, etc. with
adequate lighting and ventilation.
 The company should charge reasonable price for vehicle servicing because
