Question 1What were the dominant

characteristic of the market for mopeds, scooter and motorcycles

in India? What host the government restriction have

affected country two-wheeler market?

Page 10: Hero Honda

The Indian two-wheelers Industry can be broadly classified in scooters, motorcycles and mopeds.

The era of post independence from the 50's to 70's saw the emergence of the two-wheeler industry.

There were a handful of players like Bajaj Auto, Yezdi, Royal Enfield, though with limited production.

Manufacturing was licensed, expansion restricted and locations for setting up plants decided by the government.

Two wheeler productions were under a lakh during the 70's and iconic brands like Royal Enfield' s bullet and Bajaj Auto's Chetak won the hearts of Indian consumers.

Market Dominant Characteristics

Page 11: Hero Honda

But the 80's proved to be the transformational decade. A slew of global alliances were struck. Hero tied up with Honda, Bajaj with Kawasaki, TVS with Suzuki and Escorts with Yamaha.

It was hero Honda that moved the Indian market from scooters to bikes with the promise of fuel economy, better technology and a stylish product.

Post liberalization the focus was on technology, pollution control, emission norms, increased competition and segmentation.

The last 7 years have seen an increase in exports, capacity expansion, more investments and almost a dozen vehicle manufacturers.

Page 12: Hero Honda

Indian Market Scenario

Until a decade ago, the auto sector in India had been a relatively protected industry limiting the entry of foreign companies with high tariffs against imports.

Today, as part of a broader move to liberalize its economy, India has opened up the sector to Foreign Direct Investments up to 100%.

since then has also progressively relaxed trade barriers. Today, almost all of the major global companies are

present in India producing two-wheelers and passenger cars in almost all segments.

Page 15: Hero Honda

Table suggests two important dimensions for the two-wheeler industry.

The region-wise numbers of motorcycle and scooter suggest the future market for these segments.

At the all India level, the demand for motorcycles will be almost 10 times of that of the scooters.

The same in the western region will be almost 20 times It is also evident from the table that motorcycle will find

its major market in the western region of the country, which will account for more than 40 per cent of its total demand.

The south and the north-central region will follow this. The demand for scooters will be the maximum in the northern region, which will account for more than 50 per cent of the demand for scooters in 2011-12.

Page 16: Hero Honda

Demand Drivers Inadequate public transportation system, especially in the

semi-urban and rural areas Increased availability of cheap consumer financing in the

past 3-4 years Increasing availability of fuel-efficient and low-

maintenance models Increasing urbanization, which creates a need for personal

transportation Changes in the demographic profile Difference between two-wheeler and passenger car prices,

which makes two-wheelers the entry level vehicle Steady increase in per capita income over the past five

years; and Increasing number of models with different features to

satisfy diverse consumer needs.

Question 4

Have Hero and its chief rivals encountered various challenges as a result of their

relationship with foreign partners? Explain

Page 30: Hero Honda

Definitely it is revealed that any challenges those were encountered by the players in automobile industry that was due to their

foreign collaborators

Page 31: Hero Honda

Tvs- Suzuki Tvs Incorporated in 1982 as Indian motorcycles Pvt. Ltd to

produce motorcycles in collaboration with Suzuki The perfect blend between the best design engineers and the

latest technology But in august 2001, Tvs bought out 25.97% stake of Suzuki

for 90 million, increasing its stake to 58.43%. The parting also meant that Suzuki would not be allowed to

enter India for a 30 month period Tvs group wanted to promote the Tvs brand, grow their

revenues, and develop product indigenously They also wanted to export Tvs-made vehicles to rest of the

world, a proposition Suzuki motors opposed.

Page 32: Hero Honda

With decline of two-stroke motorcycle in India, and with the recent launch of the all-Indian Tvs victor, it was clear that Indian partners can do without Japanese collaborator.

TVS' in-house product development was not good

Page 33: Hero Honda

Escorts -Yamaha In 1995, Escorts and Yamaha Motors formed a 50:50 joint

venture (EYML).

It all started in 1999 when Escorts sold one-third of its shares in the construction equipment company Escorts JCB to JCB of the United Kingdom for Rs 490 billion. This brought its stake down from 60% to 40%. Next came the turn of Hughes Escorts Communication, a 51:49 joint venture between Hughes Communications of the United States and Escorts. In December 1999, Escorts offloaded 23% of its stake to Hughes for Rs 750 million. This brought its shareholding in the company to 26%.

Page 34: Hero Honda

mid 2000, Escorts divested 24% equity to Yamaha Motors and as a result, Yamaha Motors became a majority stakeholder in the venture (74:26)

In May 2001, Escorts sold its remaining 26% equity, thus,

exiting from the joint venture.

Page 35: Hero Honda

Kinetic-Honda KEL and Honda set up a 50-50 joint venture called kinetic-

Honda Ltd. The terms of agreement specified that KHL could not enter the

motorcycle business Throughout the 1980s, Kinetic remained India's largest moped

manufacturer with a 44% market share and a 15% share of the overall two-wheeler market. A decade later, the company's moped market share halved to 22% and the overall market share figure reached an abysmal 5%.

Page 36: Hero Honda

Question 5

What obstacles stands in the way of Hero’s operation one billion? What issue must

Hero management address to achieve its 2002 strategic and financial objectives?

Page 37: Hero Honda

Obstacles stand in the operation one billion

Page 38: Hero Honda

• bajaj is the market leader

• tough competition from the company from competitors like

TVS SUZUKI

ESCORT YAMAHA

BAJAJ PIAGGIO

KINETIC HONDA

• they were totally dependent on the Honda motors for the technology .

•New product development was not materials as far as the market demand dedicated .

Page 39: Hero Honda

• Threat from local players like

monto motors of rajasthan

They were providing bikes and mopeds at very lowest cost .

• fundamental principal of product of superior value at reasonable price .

but

Prices of steel , yen (japan) , ruber , are significantly high as compare to previous years .

Page 40: Hero Honda

HERO MANAGEMENT ADDRESS …..

Page 41: Hero Honda

• The market is far from maturity .

so penetration is possible ..

So concentrate on rural market more as compare to urban market , because urban market is already aware regarding brand of hero .

• Motorcycles growth as compare to other means of transportation was much higher .

• Good brand name is availble in the market

• cost of bikes is much lower to car

40,000 < 3,00,000

Page 42: Hero Honda

India rural market (70% of total population )

Rural people are very much cost conscious .

They did not require that much features .

They should develop their own technical institute .

Page 43: Hero Honda

In advertisment ….Shows the feature of bike as compare to brand endorsement ..

Because people prefer safety as first and it is the basic criteria through which one can attract to the customers ..

They can remove the dominance of bajaj from the market because bajaj is the market leader .

Page 44: Hero Honda

Question 6

What recommendations would you make to Mr. Brijmohan lal to maintain hero’s

dealing position in the market?

Should company consider developing new relationship with international partner?

Does it make more sense to create stronger alliance with domestic partner or to go

outside india?

Page 45: Hero Honda

RECOMMENDATIONS

Concentrate on R & D establishment. Concentrate on entry and premium segment to

increase the market share. Concentrate on pricing strategy As far as entry segment is concerned, bikes should be As far as entry segment is concerned, bikes should be

reasonably priced with above average fuel economy to reasonably priced with above average fuel economy to attract common manattract common man

Ally with domestic financial firm to provide finance Ally with domestic financial firm to provide finance and vehicle insurance. and vehicle insurance.

Page 46: Hero Honda

In current condition Hero must have to consider its partner till 2014.

But rather than depend upon honda, hero should focus on R&D development on its own

There are no domestic partner with which Hero can go for JV to develop R&D
