    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.

    9

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    10/58

    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 Genera

    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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    11/58

    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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    12/58

    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):

    31/58

    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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    32/58

    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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    33/58

    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 is-

    ST+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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    34/58

    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 1984.75)2 }1/2

    (3 )1/2

    34

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    35/58

    = 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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    36/58

    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

  • 8/2/2019 Final Report Menakshi Azad Repaired)

    37/58

    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

    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 & 5-

    10 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.

    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 wholeincluding: 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 meetnew 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, andVolkswagen. 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 forsuccess 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 andChinese markets, respectively, and thus lack the geographical diversity that smoothes the market

    performance of some of their larger competitors
