Tempo connection
Bajaj Auto bought a controlling stake in the Tempo Firodia company, renaming it
"Bajaj Tempo". Germany's Daimler-Benz, a long-time collaborator with Firodia
because of their ownership of the original Tempo works in Germany, owned 16%
of Bajaj Tempo. Daimler sold their stake back to the Firodia group in 2001,
meaning that they once again held a controlling interest, with BAL retaining 24%
of the shares. It was agreed that Bajaj Tempo would gradually phase out the use of
the "Tempo" brand name, as it still belonged to Mercedes-Benz.[6]The name of the
company was changed to Force Motorsin May 2005, dropping "Bajaj" as well as
"Tempo", over the objections of Bajaj Auto with whom the company shares a long
history as well as a compound wall.

Mr jamalal Bajaj founded the Bajaj Group in the 30s. The group now has 24
companies, Including 6 listed companies.

footprint stretches over a wide range of industries, spanning automobiles (two-
wheelers and three-wheelers), home appliances, lighting, iron and steel, insurance,
travel and finance.
Current Scenario

by 3.06% to Rs19720 mn HY ended September 2001 from Rs19133.3 mn in the
corresponding period previous year. The total expenditure has gone up by 5.3%
with the material cost accounting for the major increase. The company has posted a
growth of 69% in PBT and the Net Profit has increased by 55% to Rs2644.7 mn
from Rs1701.5 mn in the corresponding period last year. The Net Profit Margin
has also improved by almost 50.7% from the half year ending FY2000-01 . The
employee cost has fallen but the company will be charging an equal expenditure of
Rs 22.6 mn over the three quarters of the current fiscal amounting to Rs 67.8 mn as
the VRS expenditure incurred in June 2001
Business
BAL in its 2-wheeler segment posted volume wise sales of 87.2% of its total salesof which scooters (both geared and ungeared) accounted for 42.3%, motorcycles
for 34.9% and around 10% in step- thrus in FY2001. The sales of scooters have
fallen by 26.1% from FY2000 but there has been a significant increase in the
motorcycle sales by nearly 65.4% since FY2000.

targeting 25% market share in motor cycles segment during the current fiscal as
against 21% share it has cornered in FY2001.

the 'Legend', 'Bravo' among the newer models .The ungeared segment consists of
the 60CC Sunny Spice , Spirit , Fusion and the 92cc Saffire . The

The company has launched utility versions of Chetak and Super at reduced
prices. With the unprecedented 38% slump in scooter market the company faced a
gradual market share loss to the other players like Kinetic Engineering and BAJAJ
Suzuki.
Motorcycles
BAL has two basic motorcycle products - M80, a 75cc indigenously developed low
cost vehicle in the step-thru segment and Japanese motorcycles. BALs
motorcycles are positioned as four-stroke fuel-efficient vehicles. Among the
Japanese ones, BAL has within its fold, the 100cc4S-Champion, 125cc KB 125,
111cc Caliber competing with Hero Hondas Passion and 100cc Boxer with
a variant Boxer City in the pipeline, all of them at competitive prices.
In FY2001 the company launched the new range of bikes viz; 175ccKawasaki
Bajaj Eliminator the countrys first cruiser motorcycle and the two variants viz;
180cc and 150cc Pulsar (in the high end segment) These models were
introduced mainly in competition to Hero Hondas 157cc CBZ and BAJAJ
Suzukis Fiero. The company also launched in its 4-stroke bikes range 100cc
Kawasaki Bajaj Acer competing against Hero Honda Splendor and Aspire ,
Caliber Croma , Legend NXT (in the middle end segment).
Mopeds/Scooterettes
BAL has a small market share of 9.5% in FY2000 in this segment.
Among its models are the Sunny Zip, Rave and the Spirit. Its Bajaj Sunny, a
50cc upgraded scooterette model has been extremely successful .The other models
include 74cc Rave launched in FY98 and Spirit 60cc, 2-stroke scooterette
competing with leader BAJAJ Suzukis Scooty.
Three wheelers
BAL continues to dominate the three wheeler market with over 73% market
share and sales of 1,55,000 units in which have fallen from around 85% two years
back. The company is trying to maintain its market share by creating environment-
friendly vehicles and has already launched the CNG model in Delhi BAL also
launched its 4- stroke rear engine CNG auto rickshaw model in Mumbai during
the year. It is testing the LPG model, which will take off as soon as the government

regulations permit. Apart from this the company also plans to introduce a four-
stroke version in auto-rickshaw and a goods carrier in both petrol and diesel
versions.
Exports
BAL is keen to export motorcycles through Kawasakis distribution network in
Indonesia and Argentina wherein the company planned to sell through their
network. The companys exports registered a marginal decline from Rs1378 mn to
Rs1351 mn i.e. 2%. The exports consisted of 30,652 two and three wheelers as
against 32,730 (including CKD packs). Bangladesh, Egypt, Peru, Iran and Sudan
performed consistently well with lower exports in Sri Lanka and Latin American
markets. The total foreign exchange earned by the company was Rs. 1,391 million.
As against Rs1430 million.
Expansion
The expansion at both Akurdi and Waluj plants has been completed during FY99
taking total capacity to 2mn vehicles. BAL has also set up a third manufacturing
plant at Chakan near Pune with a capacity of 1mn vehicles. The company has
planned for selling through separate channels in case of its 2-wheeler and 3-
wheeler segment .It has been planning to
streamline its vendor network by cutting down the number of suppliers by 50%
from current 800 during the current fiscal, intended to improve the efficiency of its
supply - chain management. BAL has been experimenting with higher dealer
commissions on some models in a bid to loosen the stranglehold of market leader
Hero Honda in the motorcycle segment. It introduced VRS II as a part of its man
power planning process at all its three plant locations as the company is slated to
bring down the workforce to 10,000 over the next four years. The company also
planned to commission a 20-MW capacity wind power plant (fourth phase with the
other three being set up near Satara) with an investment of Rs1000 mn in
Ahmednagar district by entering into the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with
MSEB during current fiscal to be completed. The company expects to source its
current power requirements in-house and also avail of the benefit of sales tax

incentives. BAL has also been exploring the possibility of an equity tie-up or a
marketing alliance with a Chinese company for selling its three wheelers in
Chinese market. It has also been planning a technical collaboration on high-end
scooters with the Italian 2-wheeler major Aprilia. The company has chalked out a
strategy for co-existence with Kawasaki wherein BAL would concentrate on
developing products in the price range of Rs 30,000 60,000 and Kawasaki to
offer a wider choice of products priced from Rs.35000 up to Rs. 2.5 lakh.
Outlook
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bajaj has countered competition through
predatory price cuts; market expansions moves or take over threats. However both
Honda and LML have cannibalized the BAL market share and are challenging its
leadership. The company has remained less aggressive in its approach and idled
away its cash reserves without proactively deploying them in R&D , new models ,
takeovers or other risky ventures . In order to arrest its declining market share,
BAL has launched several new models during the past fiscal and more are in the
offing in each segment of the two-wheeler market. Moreover, the management has
recognized the need to utilize its surplus reserves for strengthening its presence in
the market by way of launching new models, expanding capacity and penetrating
new markets. Kawasaki has been developing India as an export hub for
motorcycles between 50-200cc. The Company has invariably become the
manufacturing base for Kawasaki and accounts for 60% of the latters global sales.
Though the company plans to introduce some high-tech motorcycles from the
Kawasaki range, it is trying to shed- off its image of screw-driver" company by
developing its own range of motorcycles. The BAJAJ Suzuki break up isexpected to pave the way for a new relationship with BAL and the new Kawasaki
Suzuki alliance in the two-wheeler business. BAL needs to rediscover the spark of
entrepreneurship that made it the market.

Financial analysis
The Net Sales have declined by 2.3% to Rs30259 mn in FY2001 from Rs30973 mn
in FY2000, which was 4.2% rise from FY99. The Operating profit has declined by
47.8% to Rs3052 mn in FY2001 from Rs5847 mn in FY2000 though the 65% rise
in motorcycle volumes could not counter the margins arising out of 41% fall in
geared scooters. BAL has spent a sizeable 13..05% advertising and there has been
a 5.2% increase in the royalty payments from Rs593 mn to Rs624 mn in FY2001.
The current ratio has fallen only marginally in FY2001 to 1.39% from 1.36% in
FY2000 and there has been a marginal fall in the inventory levels, which
contribute to about 11-12% of the current assets. There has not been a significant
change in the inventory turnover, which has also remained close to 11.9% fromFY2000 levels. The company has remained by and large debt-free and has the
secured loans in the form of cash credit and working capital gap finance. The
unsecured loans are mainly interest free and comprise Sales Tax Deferral Liability
on account of incentives provided for the Waluj and Chakan plants as well as the
wind power project. The Bank finance to Working Capital Gap is approximately
2% in FY2001 as against nil in FY2000 indicating the companys increased
dependency on bank finance for working capital. However the overall secured loan
level has fallen including the cash credit limit which has fallen by around 55% in
FY2001. The long-term debt to equity ratio has increased to 0.19 in FY2001 as
against 0.15 in FY2000. This can be attributed to the decrease in the net worth due
to the buyback of shares worth Rs18 mn in October 2000. The long-term debt to
total assets has remained steady at 0.14 since FY2000, which is indicates that the
14% of the total assets are financed by debt sources. The Interest Coverage Ratio
has fallen by 80% from FY2000 indicating that the EBIT as a percentage of
interest charges has declined with the decreasing conservativeness and fall in the
ability of the company to pay finance charges due to decreased EBIT. The
insignificant change in the Asset Turnover Ratio is indicative of the ability of the
company to produce sales from the existing asset base. There has been a fall in
both the Net Sales and the capital deployed in tandem with each other. Income
from pre tax operations has fallen drastically by 55.2% to Rs3695 mn in FY2001
from Rs8252 mn in FY2000 as against 8.7% growth from FY99. However, cash
profits have declined by 45.2% to Rs4272.4 mn in FY2001 from Rs7801.7 mn in
-

FY2000 compared to 13% rise in FY2000 due to rise in depreciation cost. The Net
Profit Margin has fallen to 8.29% in FY2001 from 20% in FY2000 on account of
decline in PAT by 60 % to Rs2499.5 mn. The additional expenditure on VRS of
Rs799 mn also affected the Net Profits. The ROCE has also fallen to 7.9% in
FY2001 from 17.2% in FY2000 on account of decrease in net income and also the
capital employed. Hence the company has been not been able to generate
substantial profits in relation to sales and also in relation to assets. The Earning
Power of the company has fallen to 10.9% in FY2001 from 23.7% in FY2000,
which indicates the fall in operational efficiency. The investment portfolio as a
percentage of capital employed was 37% and the market value of investments has
been lower by Rs114 mn, which can further erode due to continued uncertainties in
stock markets.The EPS has fallen by 58% and the dividend payout by 32%
indicating that fall in percentage of total earnings paid out to shareholders in
FY2001.

Research definition:
Research is a systematic and scientific search of pertinent information on a specifictopic

of theory or in the practice of an art by D.Sleinger and M.Stephnson.

The target was to contact the respondents and analyze their requirements. The
survey is concerned with the subjective assessment of attitude, opinion of the
people about the service provider.
Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and
characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. Descriptive
research answers the questions who, what, where, whenand how...
Although the data description is factual, accurate and systematic, the research
cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, Descriptive research cannot be used
to create acausal relationship,where one variable affects another. In other words,
descriptive research can be said to have a low requirement forinternal validity.
The description is used forfrequencies,averagesand other statistical calculations.
Often the best approach, prior to writing descriptive research, is to conduct a
survey investigation. Qualitative research often has the aim of description and
researchers may follow-up with examinations of why the observations exist and
what the implications of the findings are.
In short descriptive research deals with everything that can be counted and studied.But there are always restrictions to that. Your research must have an impact to the
lives of the people around you. For example, finding the most frequent disease that
affects the children of a town. The reader of the research will know what to do to
prevent that disease thus, more people will live a healthy life.
In this research, Descri ptive and Exploratory Researchmethods have been used.
Research approach:
The research approach consists of personal interview of the customers through the
use of research instrument like structured questionnaire and interview method.
While designing the questionnaire care had to be taken in formulating and
sequencing the questions so that it allows logical thinking process for the
respondent. Use of both close-ended and open-ended questions was made so that
analysis becomes easy and respondents can freely answer the questions.

Definition of Research:
Research is a process of systematic and in depth study for any particular topic
subject to collection, compilation, presentation and interpretation of relevant
details or data. Research refers to search of knowledge. It is a scientific and
systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.
It is an art of scientific investigation. Movement from known to unknown. Voyage of discovery. Original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advantage.
Research Process:
1. Define research process2. Review the literature3. Design research(including sample design)4. Collect data(executive)5. Analysis of data6. Interpret the report
Sampling Plan
All the items under consideration in any field of enquiry constitute a universe or
population. A complete enumeration of all the items in the population is known ascensus enquiry. But it was not possible at all to cover each and every potential
customer on a pan India basis. The number of all potential customers inclusive of
all big and small manufacturer or retailers was really high so it was pragmatically
impossible to generate the complete data. Since the process of collecting data from
the elements of large population may be expensive, time consuming and difficult.
It will be cheaper and quicker to collect information from a sample plan of the
population. A sample is a fraction of a subset of population through a validstatistical procedure so it can be regarded as representative of the entire population.

The valid statistical procedure of drawing sample from the population is called
sampling.
SAMPLING DESIGN
A sampling design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given
population. It refers to the technique or procedure the researcher would adopt in
selecting for the samples. Sample design is determined before the data is collected.
The Universe:
The universe consists of the all the customers in kavathe mahankal: hence the
universe can be geographical area of Kavathe mahankal.
Sampling unit:
Sampling unit is the customer who is already using PLATINA and also who
would like to purchase PLATINA.
Sampling Size:
The sample size consisted of 59 respondents. It included the manufacturing firm,
hospitals and retailers in Kavathe mahankal city only.
Sampling instrument:
Questionnaire was used as an instrument for primary data collection.
Sampling technique:
Simple random sampling
In a simple random sampling ('SRS') of a given size, all such subsets of the frame
are given an equal probability. Each element of the frame thus has an equal
probability of selection: the frame is not subdivided or partitioned. Furthermore,any givenpairof elements has the same chance of selection as any other such pair
(and similarly for triples, and so on). This minimises bias and simplifies analysis of
results. In particular, the variance between individual results within the sample is a
good indicator of variance in the overall population, which makes it relatively easy
to estimate the accuracy of results.

RECOMMENDATIOIN TO DEALER
As far as the show room satisfaction is concerned, the show room scores goodpercentage. But maintain this satisfaction level forever the show room has to do
some activities like free check up camp. ETC.
The dealer can convince the non-users by taking measures like advertising andsales people.
The Diploma Holder mechanics should be recruited in the show room servicecentre More & More promotional measures should be taken to increase the sales.
The warranty service provided by dealers should improve they can gives betterservice in the time of warranty periods.
The complaint solving procedure should be improved and after service of the bikemechanics may be get feed back from the customers about bike.
Whenever the Bajaj Company introduces new models, then the showroom peoplehas to arrange road shows. By doing this kind of activities the show room can
retain its old customer and try to attract new customer.
Show room owners have to send some gifts and greetings to customersespeciallyin festival seasons, like Deepavali, New year, because of attracting the customer
and to build long run relationship with the customers.
RECOMMENDATIOIN SUGGESTIONS TO COMPANY
Auto starter should be included in the existing model The current SNS (spring -in -spring) suspensions provide unique protection to the
bike.
Improvement in the engine performance it sounds more when in use more than 70km speed there is no smoothness.
