INDUSTRY PROFILE
Global:
Automobile industry history: in the year 1769, a French engineer by the name of Nicolas j. could
not invented the first automobiles to run on road. This automobile, in fact was a self-powered,
three-wheeled, military tractor that made the use of a steam engine. The range of the automobile,
however, was very brief and at the most, it could only run at a stretch for fifteen minutes. In
addition, these automobiles were not fit for the roads as the roads as the steam engines made
them very heavy and large, and required ample starting time. Oliver evans was the first to design
a steam engine driven automobile in the U.S.
A Scotsman, Robert Anderson, was the first to invent an electric carriage between 1832 and
1839. However, Thomas davenport of the U.S.A. and Scotsman Robert Davidson were amongst
the first. To invent more applicable automobiles, making use of non-rechargeable electric
batteries in 1842. Development of road made travelling comfortable and as a result, the short
ranged, electric battery driven automobiles were no more the best option for travelling over
longer distance. The automobile industry finally came of age with henry ford in 1914 for the bulk
production of cars. This lead to the development of the industry and it first begun in the assembly
line of his car factory. The several methods adopted by ford, made the new invention (that is, the
car) popular amongst the rich as well as the masses.
According the history of automobiles industry U.S., dominated the automobiles markets around
the globe with no notable competitors. However, after the end of the Second World War in 1945,
the automobile industry of other technologically advanced nations such as Japan and certain
8/12/2019 Sandip Mkt
7/55
European nations gained momentum and within a very short period, beginning in the early
1980s, the U.S. automobile industry was flooded with foreign automobile companies, especially
those of Japan and Germany. The current trends of the global automobile industry revel that in
the developed countries the automobile industries are stagnating as a result of the drooping car
markets, whereas the automobiles industry in the developing nations, such as, India and Brazil,
have been consistently registering higher growth rates every passing year for their flourishing
domestic automobiles market.
The automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, market, and sells the worlds motor
vehicles. In 2008, more than 70 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles
were produced worldwide.
In 2011, a total of 79.9 million new automobiles were sold worldwide: 22.9 million in Europe,
21.4 million in Asia-pacific 19.4 million in USA and Canada, 4.4 million in Latin American, 2.4
million in the Middle East and 1.4 million in Africa. The market in North America and Japan
were stagnant, while those in South America and other part of Asia grew strongly. Of the major
market, china, Russia, Brazil, and India saw the most rapid growth.
About 250 million vehicles are in use in the United States. Around the world, there were about
806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over 260 billion gallons of
gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in china. In the
opinion of some, urban transport systems based around the car have proved unsustainable,
consuming excessive energy, affecting the health of populations, and declining level of service
despite increasing investments. Many of these negative impacts fall disproportionately on those
social groups who are also least likely to own and drive cars.

National:
An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Following the independence,
in 1953, the Government of India and the private sector lunched 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 to nationalization and the license raj which
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 Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment
of MarutiUdyog. A number of foreign firms initiated joint-ventures for building motorcycles and
light commercial-vehicles. It was at this time that the Indian government chose Suzuki for its
joint-venture to manufacture small cars. Following the economic liberalization in 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.
Indian automobile industry has growth leaps and bounds since 1898, a time when a car had
touched the Indian streets for the first time. At present it holds a promising tenth position in the
entire world with being in two wheelers and in commercial vehicles. Withstanding a growth rate
of 18% per annum and an annual production of more than 2 million unites it may not be an
exaggeration to say that industry in coming years will soon touch a figure of 10 million units per
year. The automobile industry has strong backward and forward linkages and hence provides
employment to a large section of the population. Thus the role of automobile industry cannot be
overlooked in Indian economy. All kinds of vehicles are produced by the automobile industry.

State:
Gujarat automobile industry has growth continuously increasing. Low cost, low risk and high
efficiency Auto cars and car component units set its pace in Gujarat. The Nano Car, Sanand and
CEAT Companys new radial tyre plant in Halol are evident to fact that the Automobile sector is
bound to emerge as significant contributor to massive employment generation. Even, General
Motors Car manufacturing unit at Halol indicates Auto Hub Growth Sector.
Nano car manufacture plant of Tata Motors is situated here. By 2014 American automobile
company Fordand French auto giant Peugeot will also start manufacturing at Sanand. Maruti is
also scouting for land to set up its manufacturing facility in Sanand. Similarly Hero and Bajaj
have hinted their intentions to set up manufacturing facilities in Sanand.
Rajkot is the hub of the automobile parts manufacturing industry. Rajkot based Atul Auto is
leading manufacturers of 3 wheeler commercial vehicles, goods carriers, passenger carrier,
pickup vehicle. Asia Motor Works (AMW) has heavy duty truck manufacturing plant near
bhuj.AdanisMundra port has Auto export terminal.Thousands of Maruti Suzuki cars have been
already exported from India through this facility. Gujarat has leveraged its location advantages,
with relatively low transaction costs for accessing markets in the western and northern India.
Good rail connectivity is slated to improve significantly with the opening of the dedicated freight
corridors to Dahej and NhavaSheva passing through large parts of Gujarat.
There are several reasons why Gujarats emergence as an auto hub is a positive for Indias
economy. First, the auto sector is a mother industry and for every direct job in the OE, minimum
5-7 indirect jobs are created in tier I, II and III, not including jobs for drivers, service station
attendants and mechanics that form a well paying proposition for many relatively less skilled, but
aspirational Indians.
Secondly, importance of transport equipment, which includes all types of motorised vehicles, in
Indias trade has been increasing. Its share in Indias exports rose from 2.3% in 2000 -01 to 7.8%
8/12/2019 Sandip Mkt
10/55
in April-February 2010-11; while the corresponding share for imports soar from 1.4% to 2.5%.
The emergence of Gujarat as an auto hub is expected to assist in Indias external trade in
transport equipment as exports are likely to constitute a significant proportion of auto sectors
output from Gujarat.

Current trends
BOOM IN INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Today, vehicles are in great demand between all segments of society. With huge demand of
vehicles, automobile industry is the fastest growing industry all over the world. Automobile
industries play a vital role in economic development of any country.
Every week a new model of car or bike has been launching to accomplish the requirement of
buyers. Various automobile manufacturing companies are in the market, which provide a lot of
vehicle according to the requirements of different segment of peoples. Automobile companies are
offering various products according to users budget. Gone are the days, when one had to wait
for their dream vehicles. Today, it is not difficult to buy a dream vehicle because of various
financial institutions. Many banks are providing loan and converting your dream into reality.
Buyer needs to pay some extra money as interest rate for that finance amount. This amount
depends on various factors such as buyers credit past, finance amount, loan period and the term
and conditions of financial institution.
If consider the Indian automobile industry, there are various companies, which are offering all
type of vehicles in the market. Automobile manufacturing companies are offering different cars,
two wheelers, three wheelers, commercial vehicles, sport vehicles and other utility vehicles
according to the users requirement. As we all know, cars have become a need for todays world.
Automobile companies are offering various premium cars to entry-level cars of the customers.
There are various car-manufacturing companies in Indian market. Some giants in manufacturing
of cars are Audi, Ford, Fiat, Honda, Hyundai, Skoda, Maruti, BMW, Mercedes, Mahindra &
Mahindra, Hindustan Motors and General Motors. Some awaited car models, which are about to
launch in the year 2008 are Fiesta 1.4 SXiDuratorq, Opel GT, Aveo U -VA, Getz Next
Generation, Logan, Rhino Rover, Audi Q7, Montero, Outlander, Grandis, Santa Fe and
Roomster. Tata motors also working to produce their low budget car till the July 2008. All the
companies are offering various attractive models in different colour and designs. In two -wheeler
8/12/2019 Sandip Mkt
12/55
industries, Hero Honda, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motors, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and kinetic motors are
offering various motorcycles, scooters and scooterettes to the market. One can choose among the
various models according to his need and budget.
In the initial years after independence Indian automobile industry was plagued by unfavourable
government policies. All it had to offer in the passenger car segment was a 1940s Morris model
called the Ambassador and a 1960s Suzuki-derived model called the Maruti 800. The automobile
sector in India underwent a metamorphosis as a result of the liberalization policies initiated in the
1991. Measures such as relaxation of the foreign exchange and equity regulations, reduction of
tariffs on imports, and refining the banking policies played a vital role in turning around the
Indian automobile industry. Until the mid 1990s, the Indian auto sector consisted of just a
handful of local companies. However, after the sector opened to foreign direct investment in
1996, global majors moved in. Automobile industry in India also received an unintended boost
from stringent government auto emission regulations over the past few years. This ensured that
vehicles produced in India conformed to the standards of the developed world.
Indian automobile industry has matured in last few years and offers differentiated products for
different segments of the society. It is currently making inroads into the rural middle class market
after its inroads into the urban markets and rural rich. In the recent years Indian automobile
sector has witnessed a slew of investments. India is on every major global automobile player's
radar. Indian automobile industry is also fast becoming an outsourcing hub for automobile
companies worldwide, as indicated by the zooming automobile exports from the country. Today,
Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford and Mitsubishi have set up their manufacturing bases in
India. Due to rapid economic growth and higher disposable income it is believed that the success
story of the Indian automobile industry is not going to end soon.
Some of the major characteristics of Indian automobile sector are:
Second largest four-wheeler market in the world.
8/12/2019 Sandip Mkt
13/55
Fourth largest commercial car market in the world.
11th largest passenger car market in the world expected to become the world's third largest
automobile market by 2030, behind only China and the US.
COMPETITIEVE FACTORS OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY OF INDIA
The automotive sector is one of Indias largest and fastest growing manufacturing sectors.
It is ranked the 11th largest passenger car producer in the world. In the category of motorcycles
and scooters, India is ranked 1st and 2nd respectively. With Indian increasingly liberalizing its
market place, many new joint ventures evolved, resulting in close to 24 global auto
manufacturers setting up their shop in India.
Competition in India
As a result, competition in Indias automobile had been heating up in the recent years. Many
global players in the automobile have already set up presence in India. Most of them are through
tie-ups with dominant local players, while some are done entirely on their own.
In the absence of strong competition in the past, the local car manufacturer MarutiUdyog Ltd
(MUL) has virtually dominated the Indian automotive market in the passenger segments since
the 1980s. As the automotive manufacturing sector rapidly evolved through the dynamics of
open market and deregulation, many new joint ventures (both technical and financial) were
formed between local players with leading global manufacturers. In 1982, MUL, then a wholly
government-owned company, signed up a collaboration agreement with Suzuki of Japan to
establish the volume production of contemporary models. Subsequently, the licensing regime
was scrapped in 1993 paving way for 17 new ventures, of which 16 are now manufacturing cars.
Since then; there has also been an emergence of new competition for higher value segments of
the passenger car market. Hence, local players like MUL also began to face competition from
new foreign carmakers. Ford entered the mid-range market with the icon model in April 1998, a
8/12/2019 Sandip Mkt
14/55
move which was followed by Honda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, and Daewoo. Other players, Hyundai
and Daewoo, have since improved their share of the passenger car market with new models for
the 4-wheelers segment; MUL/Suzuki dominates the automotive landscape holding a 33% share
of the passenger car market in 2004-05. In the second place is Tata Motors, a local company,
commanding 26% share, while Hyundai Motorranked third with 15% share and the rest split
amongst close to 2 dozen other manufacturers.
For the 2-wheelers segment, it remains quite a local dominant game but global players also have
obvious presence in the market. Major players in this segment include Bajaj Auto, TVS Suzuki,
LML Limited, Hero-Honda Motors, Yamaha Motor India, Kinetic Engineering, Maharashtra
Scooters Majestic Auto, Kinetic-Honda Motors, Royal Enfield (India), Scooters (India), Greaves
Ltd. Foreign manufacturers also have presence in India through their 100% owned subsidiaries,
e.g. Honda Motorcycle, Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. M/s Honda Motors co., Japan, Yamaha Motors
Japan. The largest player is Hero Honda Motors, accounting for 40% of market share, followed
by Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor, which account for 27% and 18% respectively.
Competition in the International Market
Besides on the competition observed amongst all global players in the domestic Indian market,
India as an automotive manufacturing country is also pitting against other competitors in the
international market. In terms of exports of automobile, India is ranked 29 th, while chine, the
other huge automotive factory ranked 17th. For exports of auto parts, India was 26 th, while China
came in 11th. The top country for exports of automobile and auto parts was Germany.
History of Maruti Suzuki India LTD
Maruti Suzuki India Limited, formerly MarutiUdyog Limited, is engaged in the business of
manufacturing, purchase and sale of motor vehicles and spare parts (automobiles). The other
activities of the Company include facilitation of pre-owned car sales, fleet management and car
financing. The Company has four plants, three located in Palam Gurgaon Road, Gurgaon,
Haryana and one located at Manesar Industrial Town, Gurgaon, Haryana. During the fiscal year

Right from inception, Maruti brought to India, a very simple yet powerful Japanese philosophy
'smaller, fewer, lighter, shorter and neater'
From the Japanese work culture we imbibed simple practices like an open office, a common
uniform and common canteen for everyone from the Managing Director to the workman, daily
morning exercise, and quality circle teams.
On 14th December, 1983, first Maruti 800, India's iconic car rolled-off the assembly line at
company's Gurgaon plant. Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, handed
over keys for this car to the first Maruti customer. Since then, Maruti Suzuki has produced and
sold around 75 lakh (7.5 million) cars to address the needs of customers across segments.
Maruti's current efforts mirror the government's vision to put India in the international map for
producing compact small cars. All over the world, Suzuki is acknowledged for its know-how in
producing small cars. The governments renewed focus on promoting small cars, offers a major
opportunity for Maruti Suzuki.
The Indian car market had stagnated at a volume of 30,000 or 40,000 cars a year for the decade
ending 1983. In 1993, this figure reached a number of 1, 96,820. Maruti's figures are a different
story altogether. Maruti reached a total production of one million motorcars in March 1994,
becoming the first Indian company to cross this milestone and crossed the two million mark in
1997.For the year ended 1997-98, Maruti posted a turnover of US$ 2.1 billion and a profit before
Tax of US$ 244 million. During the year, Maruti produced over 350,000 vehicles, out of which
26,000 were exported. Through the years Maruti has provided world -class Japanese technology,
suitably adapted to Indian conditions and Indian car users.
The Maruti models on road now are :
Maruti 1000: Launched 1990.
1. Maruti Zen: Launched 1993 with a facelift in 2003.Production ended in 2006.

INTRODUCTION
Advertising is a favorable representation of product to make consumer, customers and general
public aware of product. It let the potential buyers, general public and end users to be aware and
familiar with the brands and their goods and services. Before going on the importance of
advertising, we would have an introduction to advertising first.
Advertising can be define as a paid form of non professional but encouraging, complimenting
and positively favorable presentation of goods and services to a group of people by an identified
sponsor. It does not include distribution of free samples or offering bonuses, these are sales
promotion. In simplest words advertising is introduction, to consumers and general public, of
services and goods.
Advertising is a form ofcommunication intended topersuade an audience (viewers, readers or
listeners) to purchase or take some action upon products, ideas, or services. It includes the name
of a product or service and how that product or service could benefit the consumer, to persuade a
target market to purchase or to consume that particularbrand.These messages are usually paid
for by sponsors and viewed via various media. Advertising can also serve to communicate an
idea to a large number of people in an attempt to convince them to take a certain action.

IMPORTANCE OF ADVERTISING
Effect of Advertising in Business
From the business point of view, advertising not just optimizes sales and product promotion but
the goodwill of the specific brand that is earned is an important asset. A well known brand not
only has a good customer base but it is a great ground to introduce new products under the same
banner. In such a case, there is a very high probability that people are going to purchase the new
product out of curiosity. It is often said that reputation gained and maintained due to advertising
helps out the business throughout the life time. The logic behind that is simple. When advertising
creates awareness, people know about the product and when they known about the product, they
pay attention to its newer advertisements and the probability that the person will buy the product
will increase. To conclude the paragraph it can be said that advertising helps business gain loyal
customers as well as a good platform in the entire market.
Importance of Advertising in Marketing
Apart from gaining a loyal customer base, advertising is often successful in marketing the brand
and conveying financial details about the brand to the consumers. The pricing details often
generate an interest and the process of money planning, starts ticking in the person's mind.
Offers such a buy 2 get 1 free or discounts are introduced to the consumers successfully through
advertising. Such offers result into a spurt of sales and are quite instrumental for clearance sales,
new introduction sales, re-release sales, etc. Advertising thus, plays quite a comprehensive role
in marking policies.

According to the traditional attitude theory consumer, behavior is predicted from
consumer attitude when consumers buy the brand, which they like the most. An attitude
may be defined as acquire behavioral disposition (Smith & Swinyard, 1983).
Another component of effective advertisement that creates emotional response is the
consumer ability to recall the brand ad (Goldsmith & Lafferty, 2002). Thus, the relative
importance of brand recall will depend on the extent to which consumer makes product
related decisions, which leads to the brand awareness (Keller, 2006)
Brand knowledge through advertisement helps in influencing brand salience in a way that
the quantity and sparkle of the memories about the brand thought to be in buying
situation that creates emotional response towards ads (Holden & Lutz, 1992).
Individuals uses cue in different buying situation for recalling the brand ad and greater
chance of brand to be retrieved of any buyer, when different attributes are attached to the
brand, which creates brand association (Romaniuk & Sharp, 2004).

Verdon etal (1968) while studying the relationship between advertising and aggregate
demand found that advertising have a positive relation with aggregate demand.

The term advertising is defined as a paid non-personal communication from anidentified sponsor using mass media to persuade or influence an audience (Wells,Burnett & Moriarty, 2003, p.10).
To assess the effectiveness of advertisements, there have been two streams of research
(Jeong, 2004). One stream of research focuses on the psychological aspects of advertising
impact and the other focuses on the sales and market response aspects of advertising
effects. These two different areas of advertising effectiveness research are
discussed in the next sections.

The sales effect refers to the assessment of the capability of advertising to affect the sales
volume and/or the market share, regardless of the possible influence of other variables.
For Batra et al. (1995), the effectiveness of advertising should be considered for its effecton sales in the short term. This advertising performance measurement is based on the
marginal theory (Chamberlin, 1948). The advertising is therefore regarded as an
independent variable that can be combined with other marketing variables to have a
certain effect on the dependent variable, i.e. sales. The aim is to seek the best
combination of the determinants of the sales increase.

Music theory. The idea that music has the potential to enhance attention (stimulate
awareness) and memory (recall) has been widely speculated and researched (Adorno
1941, 1976; Bartlett & Snelus, 1980; Bower & Bolton, 1969; Galizio & Hendrick, 1972;
Hecker, 1984; Macklin, 1988; Rothschild, 1987; Rubin, 1977; Schulkind et al., 1999;
Wallace, 1994).
Macklin (1988) found that messages that were sung in a produced, original jingle that
sounded like a nursery rhyme produced the same recall from children as spoken
messages. Bartlett and Snelus (1980) found that cued recall of lyrics of popular songs
from 1921 (When Francis Dances With Me) to 1974 (Morning Has Broken) was
higher in response to melodies than in response to titles. Schulkind, Hennis, and Rubin
(1999) observed a correlation between music, emotion and autobiographical, long-term
memory of older adults and songs from their youth when testing the Top 20 from 1935
(On Treasure Island) to 1994 (Thats The Way Love Goes). Some researchers have
also observed the enhancement of recall by music. Rubin (1977) found that recall ofinformation is improved when cued with the melody of a well known song (Star
Spangled Banner). Wallace (1994) found that the melody of a song (using three ballads
from The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore) could facilitate recall
of text by providing it with musical structure for learning and remembering. Serafine,
Crowder, and Repp (1984), Serafine, Davidson, Crowder, and Repp (1986), and
Crowder, Serafine and Repp (1990) suggested an integration effect where the melody or

text of a song (using folksongs from Erdei) is better recalled with original text than with
different text. These results suggest that music in ads has the potential to stimulate
emotion, attention and recall but not all studies support this theory. Galizio and Hendrick
(1972) did not observe that memory for verbal information was enhanced by presenting
the information in the form of a song (the musical accompaniment of a guitar).
Shimp (1981) argued that attitude toward the ad (ATTA) is an important mediator when a
consumer makes a choice. Since then, musics potential to affect the consumers ad
attitude has received some attention with conflicting results. The presence of music was
shown to affect how a viewer feels when looking at print ads (Morris & Boone, 1998).
Musical fit resulted in a better attitude toward the ad (North et al., 2004; Shen & Chen,
2006). Brooker and Wheatley (1994), however, reported no effect of music placement on
attitude toward the ad. Likewise, Macklin (1988) reported no effect of music presence on
attitude toward the ad with children.
Recall of the brand is obviously a primary consideration in the evaluation of the
effectiveness of music in advertising. When the music fit, the message processing of the
ad was enhanced (MacInnis & Park, 1991; North et al., 2004). Different music treatments
(original and altered vocals, instrumentals, jingles, silence) did affect recall differently
under varied conditions (Allan, 2006a; Olsen, 1995: Roehm, 2001; Wallace, 1991, 1994;
Yalch, 1991). The presence or absence of music was shown to be both attention-getting
(Park & Young, 1988) and distracting (Wheatley & Brooker, 1994). The placement
(Brooker & Wheatley, 1994) or the presence of music (Macklin, 1988) was not observed
to affect recall. Musical fit, however, was shown to stimulate better recall of brands
(North et al., 2004; Shen et al., 2006).

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
According to me following limitations can be prevailing in my report:
Respondents might have felt hesitation in providing information related to their income;
so, there can be some data that might questionable because of unwillingness of
respondents to give right information.
Sample selected may not represent whole population, as sample size selected is very
small in proportion to population due to time and cost constraints.
Even many of the respondents may give bias answer.
The response given by respondents was not always accurate because the respondents
gave the response according to their understanding.
Survey is time consuming process but the time to collect the data for research was very
less.
Sometimes the respondents are not willing to fill the questionnaire and hence the
resultant may not be correct.
Marketing researchers studies the behaviour that is rational. Very often, they do notexpress their feeling correctly what they think. In such cases their habitual, practice,
preferences cannot be assessed correctly.

Suggestions
Advertisement should be made with keeping the determinants of effectiveness in mind.
Advertisement should be according to the product and its suitability with different age
groups.
Investment in advertisement should be made with great care of media of advertisement
and type of advertisement.
Advertisers should develop new and more effective ways of advertisement.
Media should be selected according to the choice of customer.
To give more attention in making the advertisement to make it effective for the sale of
car.
To give attention on the weak media of advertisement so that the consumers comes to
know about the product.
It should be attractive one so that people are attracted toward the advertisement.
CONCLUSION
From my study of customers of Surat city, I can interpret that most of respondents
are attracting because of information while some respondents are attract because of
celebrity in this study. Nowadays consumer is not easily swayed by a celebrity in an
advertisement but he/she needs full fledge information about the product also.

Advertisements being endorsed by celebrities are less attractive and that the use of
celebrities may not change the buying behavior of consumers significantly. And
repetition of the advertisement does not affect his/her opinion about the buying car
because he/she has full information about the car they want to purchase. And respondents
are like television for the advertisement because most of people get their news and
information primarily from television. So we can say that the television medium is the
most attractive and important place to advertise. People get information about the new car
from the newspaper because they need full information about the new car so they prefer
newspaper for it.
