    Executive Summary

    Increasing urbanisation, expanding cities and favorable demographics in India support

    growth of the Indian automobile industry. According to a survey there is a increase in

    share of the prime working age group of 20-59 years (now constituting 43%) of the total

    population. These are the prospective customers. Now days cars are becoming cheaper

    due to huge competition in the market coming along with the best technology and very

    good features

    Maruti with its 62% market share is the leader in the small car segment and commandsover 50% share in the domestic auto industry. Maruti is a well placed to ride the dual

    benefit of expanding its domestic as well as its global small car market. We believe that it

    will continue its dominance in the Indian car market given its strong portfolio and wide

    distribution as well service network reach

    To understand the level of customer satisfaction of their cars as well as their service

    provider I have considered Pratham motors for Studying. Pratham Motors Pvt Ltd is one

    of the leading dealers of Maruti Suzuki cars, in Bangalore. In the year 2001 it was

    appointed as dealers of all products under the Maruti Udyog range pertaining to Sales,

    Service & Spares in Bangalore. Totally it has three showrooms and workshops in

    Bangalore.

    With a sample size of100 I have done my research using questionnaires by personal

    interview and telephone interview within a period of 1 month.

    The project report includes the details of the company, the company profile of Pratham

    motors, the methods used for survey, the analysis part of the study. After the comparative

    study of the customer satisfaction level of their cars and their service provider I have

    analyzed the report and these are my findings. The owners of the Maruti Suzuki cars are

    KLE S COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, LINGARAJ COLLEGE 5

    ABOUT MARUTI UDYOG

    ORGANIZATEION OVERVIEW:

    Background

    Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of

    Parliament, as a Government company with Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan holding

    26 per cent stake. It was entrusted the task of achieving the following:

    Modernization of the Indian Automobile Industry.

    Production of vehicles in large volumes

    Production of fuel efficient vehicles.

    Suzuki was an obvious choice because of its unparallel expertise in small cars.

    The Joint Venture agreement was signed between Government of India and Suzuki MotorCompany (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982.

    The company went into production in a record time of 13 months and the first car was

    rolled out from Maruti Suzuki India Limited Gurgaon in December, 1983. It was the first

    company in India to mass-produce and sell more than a million cars. It is largely

    credited for having brought in an automobile revolution to India.

    On 17 September 2007, Maruti Udyog was renamed to Maruti Suzuki India Limited. The

    company's headquarters remain in Gurgaon, near Delhi.

    Car Market Scenario

    When Maruti began operations in 1983, there were only two other car companies in India

    and the total size of the Indian passenger car market was a nearly 40,000 units per year.

    From the start, Maruti caught the imagination of Indian car customers and launched four

    new models, including a hatchback, a mini multipurpose van, an entry sedan

    and a SUV, over the next decade. Each of these models was an instant draw with the

    Indian consumers. Suzuki Motor Corporation increased its stake on two occasions (26>>

    40 >> 50 >>) controlling stake and brought it to 50 per cent in the mid 1990s (and to 54%

    with privatization in 2002).

    facilities. The company annually exports more than 50,000 cars and has an extremely

    large domestic market in India selling over 7,30,000 cars annually.

    about 60% of the total market share.During 2007-08, Maruti Suzuki sold 7,64,842 cars, of

    which 53,024 were exported.

    leading edge R&D. The R&D establishment includes a team of 1400 scientists and

    engineers. The company's Engineering Research Centre was established in 1966, and has

    facilities in Pune, Jamshedpur and Lucknow.

    It was Tata Motors, which developed the first indigenously developed Light Commercial

    Vehicle, India's first Sports Utility Vehicle and, in 1998, the Tata Indica, India's first fully

    indigenous passenger car. Within two years of launch, Tata Indica became India's largest

    selling car in its segment.

    True to the tradition of the Tata Group, Tata Motors is committed in letter and spirit to

    Corporate Social Responsibility. It is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact,

    and is engaged in community and social initiatives on labour and environment standards

    in compliance with the principles of the Global Compact. In accordance with this, it plays

    an active role in community development, serving rural communities adjacent to its

    manufacturing locations.

    Recently it has tied up with FIAT and would carry out the sales and service in their

    showrooms itself. Even it is one of the competitors for Maruti. And the launching of its

    new vehicle TATA NANO would rather hit badly for the Marutis low priced cars.

    With the foundation of its rich heritage, Tata Motors today is etching a refulgent future.

    segment across 9 parameters.

    The J.D. Power APEAL Study 2004 proclaimed the Wagon R no. 1 in the premium

    compact car segment and the Esteem No.1 in the entry level mid - size car segment. This

    study measures owner in terms of design, content, layout and performance of vehicles

    across 8 parameters.

    A Buying Experience like No Other

    Maruti Suzuki has a sales network of 600 state-of -the-art showrooms across 393 cities,with a workforce of over 7500 trained sales personnel to guide our customers in finding

    the right car. Our high sales and customer care standards led us to achieve the No.1

    nameplate in the J.D. Power SSI Study 2004.

    25 years of trust

    Maruti has always spelt trust - be it with the products themselves or with the service

    standards. We have built trust by aligning ourselves with the needs of customers. See how

    we have done that over the 25 years.

    Quality Service across 1200 Cities

    Maruti has 2628 listed Authorized service stations and 30 Express Service Stations on 30

    highways across India.

    In the J.D. Power CSI Study 2004, Maruti Suzuki scored the highest across all 7

    parameters: least problems experienced with vehicle serviced, highest service quality,

    best in-service experience, best service delivery, best service advisor experience, most

    user-friendly service and best service initiation experience.

    92% of Maruti Suzuki owners feel that work gets done right the first time during service.

    The J.D. Power CSI study 2004 also reveals that 97% of Maruti Suzuki owners would

    probably recommend the same make of vehicle, while 90% owners would probably

    repurchase the same make of vehicle.

    One Stop Shop

    At Maruti Suzuki, you will find all your car related needs met less than one roof. Whether

    it is easy finance, insurance, fleet management services, true value, accessories- Maruti

    Suzuki is set to provide a single-window solution for all your car related needs.

    The Low Cost Maintenance Advantage

    The acquisition cost is unfortunately not the only cost you face when buying a car.

    Although a car may be affordable to buy, it may not necessarily be affordable to

    maintain, as some of its regularly used spare parts may be priced quite steeply. Not so in

    the case of a Marui Suzuki. It is in the economy segment that the affordability of spares is

    most competitive, and it is here where Maruti Suzuki shines.

    Lowest Cost of Ownership

    The highest satisfaction ratings with regard to cost of ownership among all models are all

    Maruti Suzuki vehicles: Zen, Wagon R, Esteem, Maruti 800, Alto and Omni.

    MEGA CAMPS;

    The company aggressively conducts 'Mega Camps' throughout the country round the

    year. Activities undertaken during a mega camp include complimentary car wash, AC &

    Pollution check up, oil and fuel top ups, wheel alignments etc.

    Apart from mega camps workshop camps like A/C checkup camps, PUC and general

    check-up camps, Locality camps , Pre monsoon camps etc are also regularly conducted as

    part of customer connect initiatives.

    Car Safety device: Immobilizer

    The company used technology to meet customer needs and even delight them. Following

    feedback that the company's cars were more prone to theft owing to their resale value, the

    company worked on an anti-theft immobilizer or "I-Cats;" system for all its new cars.

    Driving school

    Lack of professionalism in driving and untrained drivers are primarily responsible for the

    majority of road accidents. As part of its corporate social responsibility Maruti Udyog

    launched the Maruti Driving School in Delhi. Later the services were extended to other

    cities of India as well. These schools are modelled on international standards. Above

    41,500 people have been trained through Maruti Driving School. The driving school was

    the best option for women and half of the trained people were women (about 21,000).

    In this technique also feedback was taken by administering a questionnaire.

    Personal interview was chosen, as one of the device because by this the exact

    nature of problem can be determined and other thing that can be noticed is the

    body language of the customer. Here the customers were asked to express them

    freely.

    The questionnaire was used as a formalized instrument to accumulate information

    from the respondents. The questionnaire had 9 well-structured questions. It was a

    direct interview, where in the respondents knew the objectives of research and

    name of the company for whom the research was conducted.

    Measuring Tools

    LIMITATIONS

    The sample was quite small. The research has given the general nature of

    the problem.

    Inarticulate respondents can be one of the limitations.

    The respondent may have over exaggerated their problem and opinions.

    Interviewers effect could also have been there; as a result the respondents

    would have given wrong reply.

    The time was not sufficient, as only one person had to conduct the survey.
