INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTERY
Throughout the centuries man has striven to expand his capabilities through the use of
machine. His ever inventive mind has constantly devised ways to use tool to increase his
abilities to explore the world around him. To go faster, deeper, higher and further than
before. Coupled with his need to find new thrills, new adventures and new modes of
transportation, the invention refinement of the motorcycle seems an inevitable out come.
It would seem that Michelangelo conceived of the bicycle as early 14 th century. And his
drawing shows a remarkable resemblance to he modern day bike. It had wheels of similar
size and even pedals and chain. Albeit without any apparent means of steering.
Through never built, it was a remarkably clever design, and early bicycle makers would
have done well to study his concepts, there have, in fact been 4 machines built based on
his drawing, attesting to the viability of his design.
It wasnt until 1869 that the first serious attempts were made to produce motor driven
bicycles. These very first were powered by steam, and driven by leather belts or as in the
case of the roper steam velocipede of 1869 by a system of levers attached to a crank on
the driven wheel.
In 1885 the Daimler, Europe this is consider by many as the first true motorcycle or
motor bicycle, as it was the first to employ an internal combustion engine and was

powered by an Otto cycle engine producing about horse powers. Note this design again
employed wooden wheels and Daimler
dropped the twist grip controls from his 1877 design in favor of leavers on the frame.

with a 1428 cc water cooled four-stroke motor producing 2.5 bhp. And speed of 25 mph.

Brief History
The history of the Honda brand is nothing more than the history of our challenges and
achievements in creating values, invariably ahead of our time. It is also the history of the
dreams of each of our associates that have come true and have been shared by people
around the world.
Background of Honda
The history of Honda Motorcycle Corporation Limited (HMCL) dates back to 1946,
when Soichiro Honda, a mechanical engineer, established the Honda Technical Research
Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan. The idea was to develop and later produce small two-
cycle motorbike engines. Hondas first product, an A-type 50cc bicycle engine, was
produced in 1947.
In 1948, HMCL was incorporated with a capital of one million yen. Soon, the company
started to design and produce lightweight motorcycles. Hondas first motor cycle, D-type
two stroke 98cc, was produced in 1949. In the early fifties, the headquarters of the
company was shifted from Hamamatsu to Tokyo and the company got listed on the
Tokyo Stock Exchange.
In 1959, the American Honda Motor Company Inc. was established in Los Angeles. The
American venture started modestly with a staff of six and sales figure barely touching
200 motorcycles. In 1963, American Honda launched the You meet the nicest people on

-a Honda advertising campaign, which revolutionized the US motorcycle industry. A few
years later, Honda established motorcycle assembly plants in Germany and Belgium.
During the 1960s, HMCL expanded its product line by introducing light trucks, compact
cars, out board motors, power generators and several new models of motorcycles and
motor scooters. New production units were started in Thailand, UK, Malaysia and
cumulative motorcycle production reached 10 million units by 1968. During the 1970s,
HMCL entered the Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil.
In 1972, HMCL introduced the higher-priced and more powerful car Honda Accord. By
the mid 1980s, Honda had emerged as the third largest Japanese automaker behind
Toyota and Nissan.
History of Honda in India
Kinetic Honda
Kinetic, founded by H.K. Firodia in 1972 was primarily in the Moped Market. Its Luna
became a huge success with the middle class sector in India.
In 1985 Honda and Kinetic tied up to form Kinetic Honda Motors Ltd. The companys
primary business was to manufacture scooters. The KH-100, the first gearless, self start
and auto choke scooter in India was a huge success.

Honda
The other joint venture agreement between HMCL and the Hero Group resulted in
formation of Hero Honda Motors Limited (HHML) in 1984. HMCL held a 23 per cent
equity stake in the joint venture. The Indian motorcycle market was very sluggish at that
time. Many Indian consumers were of the opinion that scooters were much safer than
motorcycles.
In 1985, HHML launched the Hero Honda CD-100 motorcycles, the first four-stroke bike
in India. Its unique features such as a four-stroke engine, fuel efficiency (approximately
80 km/l) and low emission made the model a runaway success with Indian customers.
2.3 Government Policies
Under the regulated regime (1940-1990), foreign companies were not allowed to operate
in India and imports were strictly controlled. It was a sellers market with the waiting
period for getting a Bajaj scooter being as long as 12 years. The motorcycle segment was
no different, with only three manufacturers Enfield, Ideal Jawa and Escorts. The
motorcycle segment was initially dominated by the Enfield 350cc motorcycle and Escorts
175cc motorcycle.
The scenario began to change in the mid-1980s when the Indian Government started
permitting foreign companies to enter the market through minority joint ventures. The
then market leaders Escorts and Enfield were caught unawares by the onslaught of
100cc bikes from four Indo-Japanese joint ventures Hero Honda, TVS Suzuki, Bajaj
Kawasaki and Kinetic Honda. With the availability of fuel efficient low power bikes,

-demand swelled, resulting in Hero Honda then the only producer of four stroke bikes
(100cc category) gaining the top slot.
What are Hondas options
In 1991, after the economic liberalization Honda did not have any obligation to operate in
India through partners. Honda was the proven leader in two wheeler industry. Through
joint ventures Hondas brand name was firmly established in India. It did not needed
much brand building in India. Besides it had gained sufficient experience and
understanding of the Indian market by now.
At this point, Honda had three options:
Continue with the existing partners This no longer being a regulatory
requirement was not the best option at this point. Honda had enough expertise,
experience and brand image to go independently in India.
Buy Stakes of the Partner One option was for Honda to buy the stakes in their
partner. Honda did this with their partner Sriram. Honda tried to buy stakes in Kinetic
Honda but it did not work out.
Sell Stakes and Start on its own Honda could sell its stakes in the existing JVs
and enter the market on its own.

COMPANY PROFILE
Cycles and Honda Motor Company ofJapan linked their joint venture in India in April
1984, few could have imagined that the two would go on to create history and become
the subject of a case study at business schools, internationally.
But that's the Honda saga. In a little over two decades, the world's largest manufacturer
of bicycles and the global leader in motorcycles have created not only the world's single
largest motorcycle company but also the most endearing and successful joint venture
for Honda Motor Company worldwide. The company has sold over 15 million
motorcycles and has consistently grown at double digits since its inception and today,
every second motorcycle sold in the country is a Honda.
In two decades, Honda has built two world-class manufacturing facilities at Dharuhera
and Gurgaon in Haryana that now churn out over 3 million bikes per year. In this period,
Honda has set up over2400 customer touch points, comprising a mix of dealers, service
centres and stockists across rural and urban India. Today, Honda is an amalgam of
winning networks and relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including

-Investors, Dealers, Vendors and Employees. These relationships have helped the
company hold on to the mantle of World No.1 for years in succession.
Honda has relied on 3 R's-- Reach, Research and Reliability as its basic building
blocks. Using feedback from the market, a fully-equipped R&D center has consistently
created best practices in designing, testing and harmonization, besides placing strong
emphasis on road safety and ride quality. This emphasis has helped Honda build
products that are ahead of their time.
In the 1980s, for example, Honda became the first company in India to prove that it was
possible to drive a vehicle without polluting the roads. The company introduced new
generation motorcycles that set industry benchmarks for fuel thrift and low emission. A
legendary 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it' CAMPAIGN captured the imagination of
commuters across India, and Honda sold millions of bikes purely on the commitment of
increased mileage.
Honda was also one of India 's first automotive companies to get close to the customer.
As Brijmohan Lall Munjal, the Chairman, Honda Motors succinctly puts it, "We
pioneered India's motorcycle industry, and it's our responsibility now to take the
industry to the next level. We'll do all it takes to reach there.''

-India has the largest number of two wheelers in the world with 41.6 million vehicles.
India has a mix of 30 percent automobiles and 70 percent two wheeler in the country.
India was the second largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world starting in the1950s
with the birth of Automobile products of India (API) that manufactured scooters. API
manufactured the lambrettas but, another company, Baja Auto Ltd. Surpassed API and
remained through the turn of the century from its association with piaggio of Italy
(manufactured of vespa)
The license raj that existed between the 1940s and 1980s in India. Did not allow foreign
companies to enter the market and imports were tightly controlled. Customers in India
were forced to wait 12 years to buy a scooter from Bajaj. The CEO of Bajaj commented
that he did not need a marketing department, only a dispatch department. By the year
1990, Bajaj had a waiting list that was twenty-six times its annual output for scooters.
In the mid-1980s, the Indian government regulation changed and permitted foreign
companies to enter the Indian market through minority joint ventures. The two wheeler
market changed with four indo-Japanese joint ventures: Honda, TVS Suzuki, Bajaj
Kawasaki and Kinetic Honda. The entry of these foreign companies changed the Indian
market dynamics from the supply demand side. With a larger selection of two-wheelers
on the Indian market, consumer started to gain influence over the products they bought
and raised higher customer expectations. The industry produced more models, styling

-options, price, and different fuel efficiencies. The foreign companies new technologies
helped make the products more reliable and with better quality. Indian companies had to
change to keep up with their global.
Honda sold millions of bikes purely on the commitment of increased mileage. Honda
has consistently grown at double digits since inception; and today, every second
motorcycle sold in the country is a Honda. Every 30 seconds, someone in India buys
Honda's top -selling motorcycle - Splendor. This festive season, the company sold half a
million two wheelers in a single month-a feat unparalleled in global automotive history.
Honda values its relationship with customers. Its unique CRM initiative - Honda
Passport Program, one of the largest programs of this kind in the world, has over 3
million members on its roster. The program has not only helped Honda understand its
customers and deliver value at different price points, but has also created a loyal
community of brand ambassadors.

FUTURE PLANNING
ASIMO
ASIMO is a symbol of Honda's advanced technology, and a member of Honda's fourth
line of mobility creations, after motorcycles, automobiles and general power products.
ASIMO is an achievement in the evolution of 'Human Walk' technology. This
technology, called I-Walk*, enables ASIMO to move back and forth, vary its pace, step
right and left and walk along an '8' shape path. ASIMO can also move in more complex
ways, such as waving its hands while walking.This humanoid robot has put Honda at the
front of cutting edge technology that promises to improve the quality of our lives.

Key Highlights
Honda enjoys a significant brand premium. Its aggressive pricing strategy to take on
the competition has helped it in volume growth.
Variant launches in each of Splendor and Passion has helped in stemming the loss in
market share in the face of the competition. Honda now plans to launch two new
models in the 100cc segment in FY05 on a new platform.
The company has started logging good volume growth after the launch of Passion
Plus and Splendor Plus as well as the CD-Dawn, which has also rejuvenated its
product range. Volumes should improve further, due to the base effect and improved
rural sentiment on the back of higher farm incomes.
Aggressive cost controls and significant economies of scale are expected to aid
Honda in retaining margins.
Honda will continue to be an attractive dividend yield play as the company
continues to generate significant free cash flows as its capital requirements are limited
