EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project on Marketing Strategy of TATA MOTORS based on financial
performance and customer survey.
Report is divided into various sectors: -
1. Company profile:

Tata Motors Limited is India's largest automobile company, with consolidated
revenues of Rs. 92,519 crores (USD 20 billion) in 2009-10. It is the leader in
commercial vehicles in each segment, and among the top three in passenger vehicles
with winning products in the compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. The
company is the world's fourth largest truck manufacturer, and the world's second
largest bus manufacturer.
The company' s 24,000 employees are guided by the vision to be "best in the manner
in which we operate, best in the products we deliver, and best in our value system
and ethics."
Established in 1945, Tata Motors' presence indeed cuts across the length and breadth
of India. Over 5.9 million Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads, since the fir st rolled
out in 1954. The company' s manufacturing base in India is spread across Jamshedpur
(Jharkhand), Pune (Maharashtra), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar
(Uttarakhand) and Dharwad (Karnataka). Following a strategic alliance with Fiat in
2005, it has set up an industrial joint venture with Fiat Group Automobiles at
Ranjangaon (Maharashtra) to produce both Fiat and Tata cars and Fiat powertrains.
The company is establishing a new plant at Sanand (Gujarat). The company' s
dealership, sales, services and spare parts network comprises over 3500 touch
points; Tata Motors also distributes and markets Fiat branded cars in India.
The foundation of the company' s growth over the last 50 years is a deep
understanding of economic stimuli and customer needs, and t he ability to translate
them into customer-desired offerings through leading edge R&D. With over 3,000
engineers and scientists, the company' s Engineering Research Centre, established in
1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and products. The company t oday has
R&D centres in Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Dharwad in India, and in South Korea,
Spain, and the UK. 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. In 2005,
Tata Motors created a new segment by launching the Tata Ace, India's first
indigenously developed mini-truck.
In January 2008, Tata Motors unveiled its People's Car, the Tata Nano, which India
and the world have been looking forward to. The Tata Nano has been subsequently
launched, as planned, in India in March 2009. A development, which signifies a first
for the global automobile industry, the Nano brings the comfort and safety of a car
within the reach of thousands of families. The standard version has been priced at
Rs.100,000 (excluding VAT and transportation cost).
2. Objective of project:
Marketing strategic in automobile industry.
Market performance & Market position of company.
Satisfaction amongst the customers of Tata Motors.

3. Methodology:
The purpose of methodology is to describe the process involved in research work.
This includes the overall research design, data collection method, the field survey
and the analysis of data.



Primary:
For my survey primary data have been used as a questionnaire to collect the data.
SECONDARY:
The secondary data has been collected from the following modes:
Magazines
Books
Newspaper
Data through internet sources
. Data collected from organization.
SAMPLE SIZE : Total sample size is 100. The following sample size according to area wise is as
follows:
20 New Gate
20 Vashasli Nagar
20 Gpo,M.I Road
20 Rambagh Circle
20 Tonk Road

4. Key finding:

A detailed analysis of the company shows that the company has had a s trong
fundamental as well as a strong market performance over the years.
Given the economic and the industry environment (improving outlook for the PC
industry) TATA Motors would be a key beneficiary. While a pick-up in its CV
volumes is evident, operating leverage and cost saving initiatives will improve
margins.
On an average more than 73% people feel that the prices are affordable whereas 12%
do not agree, 74% believe that attractive discounts are offered whereas 26% are not
satisfied with the discounts offered.
The overall opinion about TATA Motors is very good.

5. Recommendation:
A Tata motor is one of the best cars manufacturing company in India, customers are
satisfied because of affordable price, but the maintenance problem and resale value
is too low. These are the two main reasons of customers dissatisfaction and other
reason is not responding to customers complaints quickly especially said by nano
customers, that means all the comments are not fulfilled properly, and indigo
customers says engine performance are not good.













INTRODUCTION

India is an emerging country with huge potential. The domestic economy is now
growing at around 9-10% per annum and Indias importance in global terms is being
reinforced by rapidly rising exports and domestic consumption. At a time when
numbers of a slowdown and overheating in the Indian economy have started gaining
momentum, the Indian rupee sprang a surprise by pushing the GDP figure past the
trillion-dollar (42,00,000 crore) mark.
The automotive industry is at the center of Indias new global dynamic. The
domestic market expanding rapidly as incomes rise and consumer credit becomes
more widely available. Manufacturers product lines are being continually expanded,
as is the local automotive
manufacturing base. Expectation are high that India can develop as a global hub for
vehicle manufacturers and as an outsourcing center that offers the global automotive
industry solution high up the automotive value chain.
India eyes 25 million automotive jobs.
India's GDP is set to double over the next decade
In percentage terms, the automotive industry' s contribution should also
double.
In dollar terms, the sector' s contribution is set to quadruple to some $145bn.
The automobile industry in India accounts for a business volume of $45 billion and
has the potential to grow much faster both through Indian as well as international
manufacturers who have established huge facilities in the country.
With the worlds second largest and fastest -growing population, there is no denying
Indias potential in both economic and population terms and the effect it will have
on the auto industry in the years to come.
The country is already off to a good start, with a well -developed components
industry and a production level of 1 million four -wheeled vehicles a year, plus a
further 5 million two- and three-wheelers.
The implications, market drivers and scope of a future massive Indian vehicle
market are covered in the India Strategic Market Profile, a brand-new forecast of
Indian automotive and related activity to 2020. Based on Max Pemberto' s unique

TATA MOTORS LIMITED

The largest passenger automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturing
company of India Tata Motors Limited, was formerly called TELCO (TATA
Engineering and Locomotive Company), has its headquarters in Bombay, now
Mumbai, India. Established in 1945, listed on the New York Stock Exchange in
2004 has created Rs. 320 billion wealth and was one of the top 10 wealth
creators in India, With manufacturing facilities in the towns of Jamshedpur,
Lucknow, and Pune. This company was founded by Jamshetji Tata and is run by
Ratan Tata under the flagship company known as Tata and sons group. He
commands 22000 employees working in three plants as well as other regional
and zonal offices across the length and breadth of India.
Tata motors passenger cars still need to reach acceptable international
requirements. The company commands an imposing 65% share of the domestic
commercial vehicle market and is trying to modernize this segment. The
financial business of Tata motors was separated into a subsidiary company in
sep. 2006, where it recorded a strong financial performance during the last 5
year period. From year 2003-2007, the profits of the company went up at a
CAGR of 36.4%, to attain Rs. 331, 525 million in 2007 from Rs. 95, 731 Million
in 2003. By floating two rights issues at the end of Sep 2008 Tata Motors Ltd
expected to raise Rs 4, 150 crores.
They are offering one ordinary share valued at Rs. 340 every six shares
expecting to net Rs. 2.90 Crores, the so called A share would have different
voting and dividend rights, for every such 6 shares held at a face value of 305
would raise Rs. 1.960 Crores, these proceed would be utilized for an early
repayment of the short term funding of 2.3 Billi on $ (Rs. 10,189 Crores)
Borrowed for Acquisition of jaguar and Land Rover from their principle The
Ford Motor Companys.
It is also in talks with private equity funds to offload 25% of stake in each of
the following 6 unlisted group units, they are Tat a Daewoo commercial vehicle

company, HV transmissions, Tata motors finance, Tata technologies and TELCO
construction equipment, the sales of the stakes would possible conclude by June
2009, helping it to raise further funds for this acquisition, earlier in July it sold
24% stake in an Auto component unit to a group firm and booked a profit of Rs.
110 crores, it also sold 10 million shares or 1.36% of Tata steel for RS. 486
crores to Tata Sons, the holding company of whole Tata group firms.
"The Company aims to monetize a part of its funds through a phased divestment
of certain investments preferably as inter -group sales wherever possible at

current market prices in the coming six to eight months," the money that will be
released from these investments will become a part of the capital to be lifted for
repayment of the bridging loan taken for the Jaguar -Land Rover acquisition.
Taken in March 2008" (Tata Motors Profile) It took a 15 month bridge loan of 3
billion in March from a consortium of banks to finance the JLR accusation and
its expansion plans Since the rights issue was announced on 28th may its share
value has fallen more than 30% and fell by 1.82% to Rs. 429.85 on BSE, even
though the bench mark index gained 3.8% to end at 15, 049.86 points.













The Analysts say that, this is a strategic move taken by Tata Motors because it is
allowing the company to make a lot of profit even when the market is in the
financial pressure allows Tata sons to raise its wager in group companies.
If the company will follow the above mentioned trends then possibly it can raise
its finances in a low liquidity and high interest rate set -up.









INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
The Indian Automobile Industry enjoys the advantage of low cost base, high
skilled labour, strong ancillary network coupled with Governments support by
way of concessional excise duty of 16% for small cars, ban on overloading and
also significant investments proposed for removing infrastructure bottlenecks.
The CV industry is directly related to the economic growth and development.
The growth in demand for CVs is directly related to the IIP index and any
upsurge in economic activities will call for more cargo movement in the
economy.
The domestic CV market grew at a CAGR of 26.7% during the last 6 years. In
FY07, the CV segment registered a growth of 32.2% due to Supreme Courts ban
on over loading trucks.
However, we believe that this is a one-time demand and the CV segment may not
witness such kind of growth repeatedly. There is a regulation that restricts the
movement of vehicles above certain age (15 years in National Capital Region
and 8 years in Mumbai). Though the rule is not being followed strictly at
present, in future if this rule is implemented strictly it will res ult in huge
replacement demand.
With the Indian economy expected to grow at 8.5% to 9% in coming years, we
expect the demand for CVs to be fairly decent except for the fact that the
industry is currently experiencing a correction due to sharp spurt in dema nd in
the previous years.
The CV industry witnessed a change in demand dynamics in last few years. The
demand for LCVs in the <=3.5 tonnes segment is rising at the cost of demand in
5 to 7.5 tonnes category, while demand in 7.5 to 12 tonnes segment and 16. 2 to
25 tonnes segment is booming at the cost of demand in 12 to 16.2 tonnes
segment. Demand for trailers of >35.2 tonnes is witnessing a surge while demand
for semi-trailers in 26.4 to 35.2 tonnes segment is suffering.
This structural shift in demand dynamics is due to the evolution of Hub & Spoke
model of distribution, which is now adopted by transportation players because of
improved road infrastructure and also the ban on trucks in many cities by the
authorities to tackle the traffic congestion issues. According to the Hub & Spoke
model, HCVs plying over the highways to transport goods to different states and
districts.





HISTORY OF TATA MOTORS
1.

Tata Motors launches its first truck in collaboration with Mercedes -Benz.
Tata Motors is a part of the Tata and Sons Group, founded by Jamshedji
Nussarwanji Tata and J. Baker. The company was established in 1945 as a
locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded its operations to commercial
vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of
Germany.
2. TATA Indica

The first generation Tata Indica
After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors
entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a
multi utility vehicle. After thelaunch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate (1992, a
stationwagon design based on the earlier
' TataMobile' (1989), a light commercial vehicle), Tata Sumo (LCV, 1994) and
Tata Safari (1998, India's first sport s utility vehicle). Tata launched the Indica in
1998, the first fully indigenous passenger car of India. Though the car was
initially panned by auto-analysts, the car's excellent fuel economy, powerful
engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in
the history of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named
Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly
became a mass-favourite. A badge engineered version of the car was sold in the
United Kingdom as the Rover CityRover.
Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South
Africa.The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata Motors.




3. TATA Brads
DAEWOO ACQUISITIO
Tata Novus is one of the best selling commercial trucks in South Korea. With
the success of Tata Indica, Tata Motors aimed to increase its presence
worldwide. In 2004, it acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company of
South Korea. The reasons behind the acquisition were:
Companys global plans to reduce domestic exposure. The domestic
commercial vehicle market is highly cyclical in nature and prone to
fluctuations in the domestic economy. Tata Motors has a high domestic
exposure of ~94% in the MHCV segment and ~84% in the light
commercial vehicle (LCV) segment. Since the domestic commercial
vehicle sales of the company are at the mercy of the structural economic
factors, it is increasingly looking at the international markets. The
company plans to diversify into various markets across the world in both
MHCV as well as LCV segments
To expand the product portfolio Tata Motors recently introduced the
25MT GVW Tata Novus from Daewoos (South Korea) (TDCV) platform.
Tata plans to leverage on the strong presence of TDCV in the heavy-
tonnage range and introduce products in India at an appropriate time.
This was mainly to cater to the international market and also to cater to
the domestic market where a major improvement in the Road
infrastructure was done through the National Highway Development
Project.
Tata remains India's largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer and
Tata Daewoo is the 2nd largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in
South Korea. Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to
develop trucks such as Novus and World Truck and buses namely,
GloBus and StarBus.
HISPANO CARROCERA
Hispano Divo at the 2008 FIAA in Madrid In 2005, sensing the huge opportunity
in the fully built bus segment, Tata Motors became acquired 21% stake in
Hispano Carrocera SA, Aragonese bus manufacturing company giving it
controlling rights of the company.



JAGUAR CARS AND LAND ROVER
After the acquisition of British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business, which also
includes the Rover, Daimler and Lanchester brand names Tata Motors became a
major player in the international automobile market.
On 27 March 2008, Tata Motors reached an agreement with Ford to purchase
their Jaguar and Land Rover operations for US$2 billion. The sale was
completed on 2 June 2008 Tata has gained the rights to the Daimler, Lanchester,
and Rover brand names.
In addition to the brands, Tata Motors has also gained access to 2 design centers
and 3 plants in UK. The key acquisition would be of the intellectual propert y
rights related to the technologies.





JOINT VENTURES

Tata MarcoPolo released this low-floor bus in India and now it is widely
used as public transport
In 2005, sensing the huge opportunity in the fully built bus segment, Tata
Motors acquired 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera SA, Aragonese bus
manufacturing company and introduced its highend inter -city buses in the
country.
Tata Motors has also formed a 51:49 joint venture with Marcopolo S.A., a
Brazil-based global leader, lead by Brian Behrle, in bus body building. This joint

venture is to manufacture and assemble fully-built buses and coaches targeted at
developing mass rapid transportation systems.
The joint venture will absorb technology and expertise in chassis and
aggregates from Tata Motors, and Marcopolo will provide know-how in
processes and systems for bodybuilding and bus body design.


IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
In 2005 & 06

Tata Ace was India' s first mini truck
Tata Ace, India' s first indigenously developed sub-one ton mini-truck, was
launched in May 2005. The mini -truck was a huge success in India with auto-
analysts claiming that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial
vehicle (LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed
the small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment. Ace rapidly emerged as the first
choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural transport. By
October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6 percent to 28,537
units due to the rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with a load body
produced by Autoline Industries. By
2005; Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata Motors. Ace is
still one of the number makers for TML, TML sold the 2,00,000th Ace in August
2008, within 4 years since its introduction.


Tata Ace has also been exported to several European, South American and
African countries. Electric-versions of Tata Ace are sold through Chrysler's
Global Electric Motorcars division.
In 2007
In 2007, Tata Motors launched several concept models and future designs of
existing models. It also formed joint ventures with various local companies in
several countries to assemble Tata cars. Tata Motors launched a re-designed
version of Tata Xenon TL during Motor Show Bologna which would be
assembled in Thailand and Argentina. A pick-up variant of Tata Sumo was also
launched under the program ' Global Pick-Up'. The company plans to launch the
new pick-up model in India, Southeast Asia, Europe, South Africa, Turkey and
Saudi Arabia.
Tata Motors also unveiled newer model of Tata Indigo and Tata Elegante
concept-car during the Geneva Auto Show.
Tata Motors also formed a joint venture with Fiat and gained access to Fiats
diesel engine technology. Tata Motors is looking to extend its relationship with
Fiat and Iveco to other segments like the ' Global Pick-Up' program. The launch
of the 'Global Pick-Up' will mark the entry of the company into developed
markets like Europe and the United States. The project was initially
collaboration between Tata Motors and its subsidiary Tata Daewoo Commercial
Vehicles, but later Tata Motors decided to work with Iveco as Daewoos design
was not in sync with the needs of sophisticated European customers. The
company has formed a joint venture with Thailands Thonburi Company, an
independent auto assembler, in which Tata Motors will hold a 70% stake.






In 2008
COMPRESSED AIR CAR

Tata One CAT
Motor Development International of Luxembourg has developed the world's first
prototype of a compressed air car, named One CAT. In 2007, MDI owner Guy
Negre was reported to have "the backing of Tata".
It has air tanks that can be filled in 4 hours by plugging the car into a standard
electrical plug. In 2008 MDI planned to also design a gas station compressor,
which would fill the tanks in 3 minutes. There are no gasoline costs and no fossil
fuel emissions from the vehicle when run in town, but "the compressed air
driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner".
One CAT is a five seat vehicle with a 200-litre (7.1 cu ft) trunk. With full tanks
it will run at 100 km/h (62 mph) for 90 kilometers (56 mi) range in urban cycle.
It is actually a dual fuel car but it is more efficient than any present Hybrid cars.


IN 2009 AND ONWARDS
Electric vehicles
Tata Motors unveiled the electric versions of passenger car Tata Indica and
commercial vehicle Tata Ace. Both run on lithium batteries. The company has
indicated that the electric Indica would be launched locally in India in about
2010, without disclosing the price. The vehicle would be launched in Norway in
2009.
Tata Motors' UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre, has bought
a 50.3% holding in electric vehicle technology firm Miljbil
Grenland/Innovasjon of Norway for US$1.93 M, which specialises in the
development of innovative solutions for electric vehicles, and plans to launch the
electric Indica hatchback in Europe next year.









GLOBAL OPERATIONS
Tata Motors has been aggressively acquiring foreign brands to increase its global
presence. Tata Motors has operations in the UK, South Korea, Thailand and
Spain. Among them is Jaguar Land Rover, a business comprising the two iconic
British brands that was acquired in 2008. Tata Motors has also acquired from
Ford the rights to three other brand names: Daimler, Lanchester and Rover. In
2004, it acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, South
Koreas second largest truck maker. The rechristened Tata Daewoo Commercial
Vehicles Company has launched several new products in the Korean market,
while also exporting these products to several international markets. Today two-
thirds of heavy commercial vehicle export out of South Korea are from Tata
Daewoo.
In 2005, Tata Motors acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera, a reputed
Spanish bus and coach manufacturer, giving it controlling rights of the company.
Hispanos presence is being expanded in other markets. On Tata's journey to
make an international foot print, it continued its expansion through the
introduction of new products into the market range of buses (Starbus & Globus)
as well as trucks (Novus). These models were jointly developed with its
subsidiaries Tata Daewoo and Hispano Carrocera. In May, 2009 Tata unveiled
the Tata World Truck range jointly developed with Tata Daewoo. They will
debut in South Korea, South Africa, the SAARCcountries and the Middle -East by
the end of 2009.
In 2006, it formed a joint venture with the, Brazil -based Marcopolo, a gl obal
leader in body-building for buses and coaches to manufacture fully-built buses
and coaches for India and select international markets. Tata Motors has expanded
its production and assembly operations to several other countries including
South Korea, Thailand, South Africa and Argentina and is planning to set up
plants in Turkey, Indonesia and Eastern Europe. Tata also franchisee/joint
venture assembly operations in Kenya, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Russia and Senegal.
Tata has dealerships in 26 countries across 4 continents. Though Tata is present
in many counties it has only managed to create a large consumer base in the
Indian Subcontinent namely India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Nepal and
has a growing consumer base in Italy, Spain and South Africa.
The Government of India announced an automobile policy in December 1997.
The policy required majority-owned subsidiaries of foreign car firms to invest at
least US$50 million in equity if they wished to set up manufacturing projects in
India. It also forced them to take on export obligations to fund their auto part
imports and required them to submit to a schedule for increasing the share of

locally made parts in their cars. Mere car assembling operations were
notwelcomed. An Indian cabinet panel will soon consider a new automobile
policy that aims to set fresh investment guidelines for foreign firms wishing to
manufacture vehicles in the country. Investments in making auto parts by a
foreign vehicle maker will also be considered a part of the minimum for eign
investment made by it in an auto-making subsidiary in India. The move is aimed
at helping India emerge as a hub for global manufacturing and sourcing for auto
parts.
The policy sets an export target of $1 billion by 2005 and US$2.7 billion by
2010. The policies adopted by Government will increase competition in domestic
market, motivate many foreign commercial vehicle manufactures to set up shops
in India, whom will make India as a production hub and export to nearest market.
Thus Tata Motors CV will have to face tough competition in near future, which
might affect its growth negatively.


The purchase of Jaguar Cars is expected to help give Tata Motors a foothold in
European and American markets.
With the unveiling of Tata Elegante during Geneva Motor Show, Tata Motors
revealed its intention to enter the sedan and sports car markets.

Tata Indica assembled in Thailand and Argentina.





Tata Prima
The Luxury Sedan was designed by Pininfrina and has marked the entry of Tata
into the international sedan market. The car is to be sold in India by 2013 and
around the world by 2015 Tata Motors has expanded its production and assembl y
operations to several other countries including South Korea, Thailand, South
Africa and Argentina and is planning to set up plants in Turkey, Indonesia and
Eastern Europe.

DIRECT COMPETITORS OF TATA MOTORS
Tata motors is the flag bearer of the Indian manufacturing industry , being the
first Indian manufacturing company to have its own indigenously manufactured
passenger car and being the first to make forays into the global market . It is a
showcase for the whole industry with world class process management
techniques being incorporated . But inspite of all this Tata motors have not been
able to make a dent in the global market , neither in the passenger car market and
nor in the heavy commercial vehicles market. Although it holds the 2nd position
in the passenger car market in India, its increasingly feeling the heat from global
competitors like Hyundai , Suzuki etc.in t he domestic market too.

Suzuki: Suzuki through its subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki in the Indian market
may also be alarming. Maruti has aggressively launched family cars to
undermine the Tata models.
Hyundai: The Indian subsidiary of the Korean auto major, Hyundai Motor
India is currently on an expansion mode and the company is company is
planning to expand its capacity and launch new models to maintain its share
of around 20 per cent in the growing Indian passenger car market. Hyundai
Motors have high sale of i10 & i20. Park also pointed out the fact that the
Korean auto major has plans to launch new models with technology that
models sold by competition do not have. Hyundai Motors India said that the
company is focusing is on the domestic market as the demand is increasing.
The officials of the company also said that the ratio of domestic sales to
exports for this year will be 58:42.
Mahindra and Mahindra: JV with ITEC, North American leader in heavy
trucks. M&M has formed a 51:49 JV called Mahindra Inter national with
ITEC, USA (parent Navistar International), to manufacture commercial
vehicles and to bolster its position in the CV business. ITEC is the leader in
medium and heavy trucks and buses in North America, and is the world's

largest manufacturer of medium-duty diesel engines. Mahindra International
aims to have a presence across the CV market (6-35 tonnes GVW) with
variants of passenger transport, cargo and specialised load applications and is
likely to start producing medium/heavy commercial vehi cles from FY09.











COMPANY POSITION OF TATA MOTORS



After more than two years, Tata Motors has dislodged Koreas Hyundai Motors
in India from the second spot in monthly domestic passenger vehicle sales. The
spurt in Tatas June numbers has primarily been due to a dramatic increase in
sales of the Nano, after the mother plant at San and in Gujarat went on stream
last month, as well as a surge in that of the Indigo.
Tata Motors domestic sales went up by 63.2 per cent in June, with the company
selling 27,811 units compared with 17,039 in the same month last ye ar. Hyundai
saw its car sales grow by 18.9 per cent, selling 27,366 units.
Sales of the Nano, the much-reported small car of Tata, more than doubled from
an average of 3,500 units in recent months to 7,704 in June, pushing up overall
numbers. The Indigo range recorded sales of 7,502 units, growth of 113 per cent
over June last year, when 3,522 units were sold.
A Tata Motors spokesperson said: Going forward, our expectation would be to
maintain the No 2 position in the industry.
Analysts said Tata would be able to sustain its growth in sales. The newly-
created Nano segment has huge opportunities and, therefore, Tata Motors is
likely to sustain its numbers because of the higher volumes it will generate,
said Abdul Majeed, national head of automotive pract ice in
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
However, Hyundai executives said that as they made only passenger cars, unlike
utility vehicles made by Tata such as the Sumo, the comparison should be onl y
within the former category, where the Korean major is still No 2.







POLE POSITION














Others are more sceptical of a Tata lead. While Nano numbers are the pre -sold
orders and the company is only accelerating the deliveries from its new plant, we
need to wait and watch for at least a quarter to see if it is sustainable. Moreover,
Tatas will need more products in the passenger car category to remain ahead of
Hyundai in the long run, said Rakesh Batra, national head (automotive
practice), Ernst & Young. More, as Hyundai would be launching a small sub-
Santro car, whose date of launch has not been disclosed.
Buoyed by a spurt in demand, the overall passenger vehicles market continued
its steady growth, with sales up by 26.8 per cent in the month. As many as
176,920 units were sold by leading auto companies (see chart). Maruti Suzuki
continued to be in the top spot, selling 72,812 units, much ahead of the
competition, a growth of 17.9 per cent. The growth in June is extremely high
as you must remember the base was very high last year in June, said R C

Bhargava, chairman of Maruti Suzuki. The fundamentals of the economy are
good and demand is picking up on the back of new models. The industry is
expecting an annual growth of 12 per cent in 2010-11.
Many of the new car models have helped their companies to show good numbers.
GM India saw its sales go up 112 per cent in June, thanks to growing demand for
its recently launched Beat, which sold 3,415 units. Ford India has a three-month
waiting list for its small car, the Figo.

INDIAN AUTOMOTIVE PLAYERS: OVERVIEW OF THE
PLAYERS IN THE INDIAN INDUSTRY
The Indian auto industry is highly competitive with a number of global and Indian auto
companies present. Hence, we have conducted an Inter company analysis of Tata with
Mahindra and Mahindra and Maruti Udyog, to get an idea of the companys position
(operation and profitability) vis a vis its competitors.
INTER COMPANY ANALYSIS:
Key Players in the Indian auto industry Passenger Cars





SWOT Analysis of Tata Motors Ltd.
Strengths: The internationalisation strategy so far has been to keep local managers in new
acquisitions, and to only transplant a couple of senior managers from India into the new
market. The benefit is that Tata has been able to exchange expertise. For example after the
Daewoo acquisition the Indian company leaned work discipline and how to get the final
product 'right first time.' The company has a strategy in place for the next stage of its
expansion. Not only is it focusing upon new products and acquisitions, but it also has a
programme of intensive management development in place in order to establish its leaders for
tomorrow. The company has had a successful alliance with Italian mass producer Fiat since
2006. This has enhanced the product portfolio for Tata and Fiat in terms of production and
knowledge exchange. For example, the Fiat Palio Style was launched by Tata in 2007, and
the companies have an agreement to build a pick-up targeted at Central and South America.
Weaknesses: The company's passenger car products are based upon 3rd and 4th generation
platforms, which put Tata Motors Limited at a disadvantage with competing car
manufacturers. Despite buying the Jaguar and Land Rover brands (see opportunities below);
Tat has not got a foothold in the luxury car segment in its domestic, Indian market. Is the
brand associated with commercial vehicles and low-cost passenger cars to the extent that it
has isolated itself from lucrative segments in a more aspiring India? One weakness which is
often not recognised is that in English the word 'tat' means rubbish. Would the brand sensitive
British consumer ever buy into such a brand? Maybe not, but they would buy into Fiat,
Jaguar and Land Rover (see opportunities and strengths).
Opportunities: In the summer of 2008 Tata Motor's announced that it had successfully
purchased the Land Rover and Jaguar brands from Ford Motors for UK 2.3 million. Two of
the World's luxury car brand have been added to its portfolio of brands, and will undoubtedly
off the company the chance to market vehicles in the luxury segments. Tata Motors Limited
acquired Daewoo Motor's Commercial vehicle business in 2004 for around USD $16 million.
Nano is the cheapest car in the World - retailing at little more than a motorbike. Whilst the
World is getting ready for greener alternatives to gas-guzzlers, is the Nano the answer in
terms of concept or brand? Incidentally, the new Land Rover and Jaguar models will cost up
to 85 times more than a standard Nano! The new global track platform is about to be
launched from its Korean (previously Daewoo) plant. Again, at a time when the World is
looking for environmentally friendly transport alternatives, is now the right time to move into
this segment? The answer to this question (and the one above) is that new and emerging
industrial nations such as India, South Korea and China will have a thirst for low-cost
passenger and commercial vehicles. These are the opportunities. However the company has
put in place a very proactive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee to address
potential strategies that will make is operations more sustainable. The range of Super Milo
fuel efficient buses are powered by super-efficient, eco-friendly engines. The bus has optional
organic clutch with booster assist and better air intakes that will reduce fuel consumption by
up to 10%.
Threats: Other competing car manufacturers have been in the passenger car business for 40,
50 or more years. Therefore Tata Motors Limited has to catch up in terms of quality and lean
production. Sustainability and environmentalism could mean extra costs for this low-cost
producer. This could impact its underpinning competitive advantage. Obviously, as Tata
globalises and buys into other brands this problem could be alleviated.
Since the company has focused upon the commercial and small vehicle segments, it has left
itself open to competition from overseas companies for the emerging Indian luxury segments.
For example ICICI bank and DaimlerChrysler have invested in a new Pune-based plant
which will build 5000 new Mercedes-Benz per annum. Other players developing luxury cars
targeted at the Indian market include Ford, Honda and Toyota. In fact the entire Indian
market has become a target for other global competitors including Maruti Udyog, General
Motors, Ford and others.
Rising prices in the global economy could pose a threat to Tata Motors Limited on a couple
of fronts. The price of steel and aluminium is increasing putting pressure on the costs of
production. Many of Tata's products run on Diesel fuel which is becoming expensive globally
and within its traditional home market.

FINDING AND INFERENCES

Competitors of Tata motors are Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motors in passenger car, Tata
Motors get the 2
nd
position in Indian market.
If Tata motors look after following few problems (Findings) they may become first in Indian
market
1. 15% said that post sales follow ups are not done regularly, On an average more than
73% people feel that the prices are affordable whereas 12% do not agree. That mean
all over 30% customer are not get full satisfaction level.
2. 63% customer said test drive done properly and 34% customer said test drive are not
done properly, otherwise 3% customer are not decided.
3. 34% customer said Tata Motors give attractive discount offer & 38% customer are not
satisfied of its offer and 28% customer are not decided for discount offer.
4. 73% customer said price affordable and 12% customer said price is high otherwise
15% customer are not decided.
5. 66% customers are satisfied of commitment of Tata Motors and 19% customer are
said commitment are not fulfil and 15% customer are not decided.
6. 70% customer said responds to complaints are quickly and 21% customers are not
satisfied and 9% customers are not decided.

Finding:
Tata Motors try to provide best service to customer when we compare Tata cars with other
brands, tata provide better facilities from other cars. Tata cars is successful in indian market
& people want Tata car to change the models & name of car like (Tata indica vista is totaly
change from Tata indica but name is indica) .
Tata NANO customers have problem with Tata NANO, Tata NANO is totaly unsuccessful
in Indian market. NANO customers are unsatisfied. That is demerit of Tata Motors.

Maruti Suzuki India has been subdued and moving probably selling pressure coming in it
on high levels, Tata Motors seemingly to be highly volatile stock but lot of customers are

coming in the lower end of that particular stock. Tata Motors would be the best among the
autos if you want to go long on any of the auto pack.
In spite of these conditions, Company has made a giant leap forward thanks to its advanced
management philosophy, designed to ensure a better future for Company and its customers.
Company is growing and the brand appreciated by its customers because it is
continuously striving to achieve the single goal of making good quality products with an
emphasis on the customer first principle across all management levels, including
production, sales, and service.

















RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION

A Tata motor is one of the best cars manufacturing company in India, customers are satisfied
because of affordable price, but the maintenance problem and resale value is too low. These
are the two main reasons of customers dissatisfaction and other reason is not responding to
customers complaints quickly especially said by nano customers, that means all the
comments are not fulfilled properly, and indigo customers says engine performance are not
good.
That is the big reason of Tata motors is no 2 position in Indian market, thus, we can say that
Tata only focus on their sales but not on the customers satisfaction. So, Tata motors should
give proper attention towards their loyal customers.
