[edit]Overview

The Indian Automobile Industry is manufacturing over 11 million vehicles and exporting about 1.5 million every

year.[17]The dominant products of the industry are two wheelers with a market share of over 75% and

passenger cars with a market share of about 16%.[17]Commercial vehicles and three wheelers share about 9%

of the market between them. About 91% of the vehicles sold are used by households and only about 9% for

commercial purposes.[17]The industry has attained a turnover of more than USD 35 billion and provides direct

and indirect employment to over 13 million people.[17]

The supply chain of this industry in India is very similar to the supply chain of the automotive industry in Europe

and America. This may present its own set of opportunities and threats. The orders of the industry arise from

the bottom of the supply chain i. e., from the consumers and goes through the automakers and climbs up until

the third tier suppliers. However the products, as channelled in every traditional automotive industry, flow from

the top of the supply chain to reach the consumers.

Interestingly, the level of trade exports in this sector in India has been medium and imports have been low.

However, this is rapidly changing and both exports and imports are increasing. The demand determinants of

the industry are factors like affordability, product innovation, infrastructure and price of fuel. Also, the basis of

competition in the sector is high and increasing, and its life cycle stage is growth. With a rapidly growing middle

class, all the advantages of this sector in India are yet to be leveraged.

Note that, with a high cost of developing production facilities, limited accessibility to new technology and

soaring competition, the barriers to enter the Indian Automotive sector are high. On the other hand, India has a

well-developed tax structure. The power to levy taxes and duties is distributed among the three tiers of

Government. The cost structure of the industry is fairly traditional, but the profitability of motor vehicle

manufacturers has been rising over the past five years. Major players, like Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki have

material cost of about 80% but are recording profits after tax of about 6% to 11%.[17]

The level of technology change in the Motor vehicle Industry has been high but, the rate of change in

technology has been medium. Investment in the technology by the producers has been high. System-suppliers

of integrated components and sub-systems have become the order of the day. However, further investment in

new technologies will help the industry be more competitive. Over the past few years, the industry has been

volatile. Currently, Indias increasing per capita disposable income which is expected to rise by 106% by

2015[17]and growth in exports is playing a major role in the rise and competitiveness of the industry.

Tata Motors is leading the commercial vehicle segment with a market share of about 64%.[17]Maruti Suzuki is

leading the passenger vehicle segment with a market share of 46%.[17]Hyundai Motor India and Mahindra and

Mahindra are focusing expanding their footprint in the overseas market. Hero Honda Motors is occupying over

41% and sharing 26%[17]of the two wheeler market in India with Bajaj Auto. Bajaj Auto in itself is occupying

about 58% of the three wheeler market.

Consumers are very important of the survival of the Motor Vehicle manufacturing industry. In 2008-09,

customer sentiment dropped, which burned on the augmentation in demand of cars. Steel is the major input

used by manufacturers and the rise in price of steel is putting a cost pressure on manufacturers and cost is

getting transferred to the end consumer. The price of oil and petrol affect the driving habits of consumers and

the type of car they buy.

The key to success in the industry is to improve labour productivity, labour flexibility, and capital efficiency.

Having quality manpower, infrastructure improvements, and raw material availability also play a major role.

Access to latest and most efficient technology and techniques will bring competitive advantage to the major

players. Utilising manufacturing plants to optimum level and understanding implications from the government

policies are the essentials in the Automotive Industry of India.

Both, Industry and Indian Government are obligated to intervene the Indian Automotive industry. The Indian

government should facilitate infrastructure creation, create favourable and predictable business environment,

attract investment and promote research and development. The role of Industry will primarily be in designing

and manufacturing products of world-class quality establishing cost competitiveness and improving productivity

in labour and in capital. With a combined effort, the Indian Automotive industry will emerge as the destination of

choice in the world for design and manufacturing of automobiles.

[edit]History

The first car ran on India's roads in 1897. Until the 1930s, cars were imported directly, but in very small

numbers.

Embryonic automotive industry emerged inIndiain the 1940s.Mahindra & Mahindrawas established by two

brothers as a trading company in 1945, and began assembly ofJeep CJ-3A utility vehicles

underlicensefromWillys.[18]The company soon branched out into the manufacture oflight commercial

vehicles(LCVs) and agriculturaltractors.[19]

Following theindependence, in 1947, theGovernment of Indiaand theprivate sectorlaunched efforts to create

an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. However, the growth

was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due tonationalisationand thelicense rajwhich hampered the Indian

private sector. After 1970, the automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by

tractors, commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury.Japanesemanufacturers entered the

Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment ofMaruti Udyog. A number of foreign firms initiated joint

ventures with Indian companies.[20]

In the 1980s, a number of Japanese manufacturers launched joint-ventures for buildingmotorcyclesand light

commercial-vehicles. It was at this time that the Indian government choseSuzukifor its joint-venture to

manufacturesmall cars. Following the economicliberalisationin 1991 and the gradual weakening of the license

raj, a number of Indian and multi-national car companies launched operations. Since then, automotive

component and automobile manufacturing growth has accelerated to meet domestic and export demands.[20]

Followingeconomic liberalization in Indiain 1991, the Indian automotive industry has demonstrated sustained

growth as a result of increased competitiveness and relaxed restrictions. Several Indian automobile

manufacturers such asTata Motors,Maruti SuzukiandMahindra and Mahindra, expanded their domestic and

international operations. India's robusteconomic growthled to the further expansion of its domestic automobile

market which has attracted significantIndia-specific investment by multinationalautomobile

manufacturers.[21]In February 2009, monthly sales of passenger cars in India exceeded 100,000 units[22]and

has since grown rapidly to a record monthly high of 182,992 units in October 2009.[23]From 2003 to 2010, car

sales in India have progressed at a CAGR of 13.7%, and with only 10% of Indian households owning a car in

2009 (whereas this figure reaches 80% in Switzerland for example[24]) this progression is unlikely to stop in the

coming decade.[25]Congestion of Indian roads, more than market demand, will likely be the limiting factor.[26]

[edit]Supply Chain of Automobile Industry

The supply chain of automotive industry in India is very similar to the supply chain of the automotive industry in

Europe and America. The orders of the industry arise from the bottom of the supply chain i. e., from the

consumers and goes through the automakers and climbs up until the third tier suppliers. However the products,

as channelled in every traditional automotive industry, flow from the top of the supply chain to reach the

consumers. Automakers in India are the key to the supply chain and are responsible for the products and

innovation in the industry.

The description and the role of each of the contributors to the supply chain are discussed below.

Third Tier Suppliers: These companies provide basic products like rubber, glass, steel, plastic and aluminium to

the second tier suppliers.

Second Tier Suppliers: These companies design vehicle systems or bodies for First Tier Suppliers and OEMs.

They work on designs provided by the first tier suppliers or OEMs. They also provide engineering resources for

detailed designs. Some of their services may include welding, fabrication, shearing, bending etc.

First Tier Suppliers: These companies provide major systems directly to assemblers. These companies have

global coverage, in order to follow their customers to various locations around the world. They design andinnovate in order to provide black-box solutions for the requirements of their customers. Black-box solutions

are solutions created by suppliers using their own technology to meet the performance and interface

requirements set by assemblers.

First tier suppliers are responsible not only for the assembly of parts into complete units like dashboard,

breaks-axel-suspension, seats, or cockpit but also for the management of second-tier suppliers.

Automakers/Vehicle Manufacturers/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs): After researching consumers

wants and needs, automakers begin designing models which are tailored to consumers demands. The design

process normally takes five years. These companies have manufacturing units where engines are

manufactured and parts supplied by first tier suppliers and second tier suppliers are assembled. Automakers

are the key to the supply chain of the automotive industry. Examples of these companies areTata

Motors,Maruti Suzuki,Toyota, andHonda. Innovation, design capability and branding are the main focus of

these companies.

Dealers: Once the vehicles are ready they are shipped to the regional branch and from there, to the authorised

dealers of the companies. The dealers then sell the vehicles to the end customers.

Parts and Accessory: These companies provide products like tires, windshields, and air bags etc. to

automakers and dealers or directly to customers.

Service Providers: Some of the services to the customers include servicing of vehicles, repairing parts, or

financing of vehicles. Many dealers provide these services but, customers can also choose to go to

independent service providers.

In tune with international standards to reduce vehicular pollution, the central government unveiled the

standards titled 'India 2000' in 2000 with later upgraded guidelines as 'Bharat Stage'. These standards are quite

similar to the more stringent European standards and have been traditionally implemented in a phased manner,

with the latest upgrade getting implemented in 13 cities and later, in the rest of the

nation.Delhi(NCR),Mumbai,Kolkata,Chennai,Bengaluru,Hyderabad,Ahmedabad,Pune,Surat,Kanpur,Luck

now,Solapur, andAgraare the 13 cities where Bharat Stage IV has been imposed while the rest of the nation

is still under Bharat Stage III.
