CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
Auto market is one of the largest segments in world trade. cutting Changing costs models, and improving user fuel efficiency, without
enhancing
comfort
compromising quality are the most important challenges of the auto industry in afast global world. The automotive industry rightly prides itself on being recognized as the mother of all industries. In its folds it carries many different kinds of vehicles to provide mobility to people and goods. While they may appear to be simple machines, their design and manufacturing, have much deeper roots inall the known technologies. of In-depth mechanical, knowledge and
skillful
application
electrical,
electronics, chemical and a host of other technologies culminate in achievementand improvement of the
manufacturing base of a country, by focusing on a single product the automobile.This then provides an opportunity to produce a large number of goods and services for
consumption of the entire international community. Use of the word mother for automotive industry is therefore the most appropriate description to define the nature and
importance of the industry.

locally, the automotive industry is relatively small. On the other hand, the industry is also largely self-
sufficient as the majority of its output is sold within Pakistan; this reduces the countrys reliance on imports and raises issues such as the protection of localjobs and the industrys contribution to the overall economy.
The poor state of the industry is reflected in BMIs Business Environment Rating f

2.3 History of Pakistans auto sector
Beginning of auto sectorPakistan is basically an agrarian economy since its independence. In 1947, agriculture contributed more than 62% towards GDP whereas contribution of manufacturing
sector toward GDP was only 7%. Pakistan inherited only 5% of the large scale industrial facilities of British
India. At that time Pakistan hardly had any industrial

l Development Corporation (PIDC) in 1950. The main objective of PIDC was to playthe
pioneering role of establishing such industries which the private enterprise wasunable to undertake either because they were technologically complex, needed large capital or were less profitable. These steps results in growth of the industrial sector resulting 56.62 % growth of the manufacturing sector from 1949-1955.

The first phase of automotive assembling in Pakistan started in 1950 with Bed Ford truck followed by Ford Prefect, Ford Cortina and Dodge Dart. The indigenized
parts in these vehicles did not exceed 20% with only exception of Bed Ford trucks with a deletion level of 80%. By the end of 70s practically all automobile
assembling in Pakistan ceased.
The 2nd phase of Automobile assembly started in 1983 with the introduction of FX800cc Suzuki Car. In 1989 Pak. Suzuki changed the Model of FX 800cc with Mehran800cc. Pak Suzuki thereafter In 1992 Introduced Khyber 1000cc and 1300cc Margalla but the indigenization levels from 1983 to 1995 were not significant (i.e. Mehran 30%, Khyber 20%, and Margalla, 15%).
In 1993, Indus Motor Company Ltd. Karachi introduced Toyota Corolla. Honda Atlascars (Pak) Ltd. Lahore
introduced Honda Civic having 1300cc engine capacity in 1994. Indus Motor, DewanFarooq Motors and Pak Suzuki introduced smaller Cars i.e. Cuore, Cultus and Santro of engine capacities 850cc, 1000cc respectively in 2000.

of Pakistan. The idea of progressive manufacturing was first mooted by the Ghandhara Industries and Mack Trucks. The idea was to start local manufacturing withsimple and non-functional parts and to add more and more complicated parts in small steps. According to the planning then done 100% local manufacturing was to be achieved in 7 - 10 years. Unfortunately, this period does not last long as theprojects undertaken proved to be over ambitious that eventually fail.
Clearly the concept of progressive manufacturing has not added much to technology, self-reliance or economy. For example, as against the targets set of manufacturing 100% of local contents in maximum 10 years actually
achieved deletion in 18 years is 45.78% for trucks & buses, 43.17% for trucks &buses engines, 16.50% for 4x4 jeeps units LCVs, and for zero percent for cars. Furthermore, cars, 4x4 no new

market dominated by heavy motor bikes like BSA, Triumph and Lamberetta scooters.
Nationalization of IndustriesFollowing nationalization the of progressive industries manufacturing under Economic period, Reforms
order had a profound impact on automobile industry in Pakistan. In early 1972 under Martial Law Regulation, the Government took over the control of 32 industrial units, including eight automobile plants, under the officially appointed Boardof Industrial Management with the
Minister for Production as its Chairman. Out of the units taken over by the Government were included iron and
steel, heavy engineering, heavy chemicals, assembly and manufacturers of motor vehicles.
Initially, the management of these industries was taken over by the government,but in August 1973, the President Ordinance promulgated after which the the Economic Federal Reforms (Amendment) acquired

Formation of PACOIn order to manage the automobile units and to
advise the Government (in developing policy guidelines for growth and development of auto industry), Pakistan Automobile Corporation (PACO) was formed in 1973 under the administrative control of the Federal Ministry of
Production. It was a major public industrial conglomerate of 15 companies including four joint ventures. For the first time in Pakistan emphasis was given to develop the nationalized units under took local manufacturing
facilities and the development of parts in an organized manner and the system ofstandardization, regulations and monitoring was established. This requires theindustry to assemble from Complete Knock Down (CKD) and then go on to manufacture components and to achieve a local content of 75% over a five year period. A number of small and large industrial unorganized units that were mostly functioning into a more in the

Privatization of IndustriesThe policy of de-nationalizing public sector units was adopted once the change in government took place. Privatization brings in foreign companies. This resultsin a number of joint ventures. Due to these ventures, Pakistan auto industry enters into assembly/progressive manufacture of passenger cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles. Once the new management of cars and
motorcycle assemblers took over the control they entered into joint ventures with foreign companies mostly
Japanese, for further development. Most important joint venture that took placewas of Atlas with Honda and Indus Motor with Toyota.

institutions. As a result, on an average, some 13,000 vehicles are assembled andmarketed every month. The
country has also started importing vehicles. The result is a quantum jump in carregistrations, primarily due to bank leases. In the capital city of Islamabad alone, some 2000 vehicles are registered every month. While all this is leading the motorization of the country, it can t be ignored that this influx of new vehicles has made the existing road infrastructure insufficient, giving rise to theneed to improve and widen the national roads network. And yet, this will lead tothe creation of more jobs thereby accelerating the pace of economic activitiesin the country.

It has already led to the growth ofa strong auto-parts manufacturing/ vending industry, which is not only meetingthe demand of the local assemblers in a sizeable number of auto-parts, but also
competing in the international market for a share in the global auto-parts market.
Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM) wasformed in 1988 to represent and to provide technical and management cooperationto its members. PAAPAM, with its almost a decade old
history, has attained a level of an indispensable and extremely effective link between the policy-making
echelons at government and the whole entity of its member firms. The Associationachieved recognition form the 26

Buyer power
In Pakistan automobile market, the buyer power is limited. It is only effectivewith no powerful lobbying group. This has tended to lead the government to favorother side then consider their aspect on issues. The
recent changes in liberalization were made after a lot of protests by people andthat too after a period of 3 years of consisting paying almost premiums of 10%prior to
import liberalization. Now with more choice with models, premium affecting the buyers is limited to certain models out of which maximum premium is of Rs. 60,000is on

consumer groups in our country. As

our country is still progressing, hopefully in the future with the development of consumer groups in the country will lead to similar formations in the automobile sector.
Supplier powerThe power of manufacturing companies is immense in our country. All companies have their CKD kits imported from abroad through their parent companies. This
situation offers little room for local suppliers. Another aspect which might have been useful to supplier is the deletion program. The government has not been able to implement it due to lobbying power of the manufacturing companies. As a result suppliers tend to toe the line of the manufacturers. This scenario is present in all
segments of the auto industry in Pakistan.

capacity. Indifferent attitude of the assemblers i.e. a component developed forone assembler is not accepted by others.

2.5 SWOT analysis of Pakistans auto sector Strengths
Demand for cars
In Pakistan context there are 9 cars in 1000 persons which is one of the lowestin the emerging economies which itself speaks of high potential of growth in theauto sector and more so in the car production. Rising per capita income with changing demographic distribution and an anticipated influx of 30 to 40 million young people in the economically active workforce in the next few years provides astimulus to the industry to expand and grow.
Resale of local assembled cars
Resale of locally assembled cars is better due to availability of spare parts and after sales services and warranty. Used imported cars have been selling below
their cost at the show rooms for the last six months but

consumers are not inclined to buy because of their low re-sale value and problems in parts availability.
Quality of local cars
Initially when the import of cars was liberalized, the quality of local assembled cars was unsatisfactory. Therefore, the people of high-income level group started buying imported cars and the sales of the local assembled cars started decreasing. In that the situation, quality of local their

Protection level
Before the TBS was introduced the auto industry was well protected by the government but now as the import of CKD and CBU is liberalized, the protection level to
industry by the government is decreased.
Lack of skilled manpower for modern machinery
In Pakistan conventional machines are not able to meet the precision manufacturing and the available labor is not familiar with modern technology it caused by lack of coordination and linkages with the Govt. / Semi Govt. Supporting Bodies and Technical Training Institutes.

Through previous years, the world prices are rising and causing costly inputs and Pakistan has faced scarcity of iron and steel. Therefore, the manufacturers are
facing difficulties in producing cars with low prices.

2.6 Pakistans auto-sector at presentPakistan
s Auto Sector continues to under-perform as end-FY09 (ending June 30) approaches, but as BMI points out, some segments are showing signs of recovery.
Although passenger car sales for the first 10 months of the fiscal year are still significantly, lower than the same period in FY08. Sales for the last three months achieved month-on-month (m-o-m) growth. However, year-todate sales have been impacted by a particularly bad
December, when only 2689 cars were sold. In order to further support sales, theFederal Board of Revenue (FBR) has forwarded a proposal to the government recommending that it allows imports of cars over 10 years old. It is suggested that brands with local production facilities have a monopoly, as imports of used cars are restricted to those of three years old or under. It adds that this gives themanufacturers the opportunity to hike prices, which is adversely influencing themarket. There appears to be little advantage for the local manufacturers at present, however, as production remains almost 50% lower than the same period of FY08.

variables. Some are as follows;
Measures of central tendencyIt is often useful to describe a series of
observations in a data parsimoniously, in a meaningful way, which would enable individuals to get an idea of or a feel for the basic characteristics of the data.There are three measures of central tendency: the mean, the median and the mode.
Measures of dispersionThese statistics measure the amount of variation or spread in the data. The three measurements of dispersion connected with the mean are the range, the varianceand the standard deviation.

The Median: The median is the central item in a group of observations when theyare arrayed in either an ascending or a descending order. The median of manufacturing is 2,38,181.50 and of GDP is 48,46,500.
The Mode: In some cases, a set of observations would not lend itself to a meaningful representation through either the mean or the median, but can be signifiedby the most frequently occurring phenomenon, which is called the
mode. The mode of manufacturing is 57,936a and of GDP is 10,14,000a.

offers
an
index of the spread of a distribution or the variability in the data. It can also be defined as how much value has been increased or decreased by the mean. It is a very commonly used measure of dispersion and is simply the square root of the variance. The standard deviation of manufacturing is 283382.63 and of GDP is 20,48,120.
Minimum & Maximum: The minimum production of automobile is 57,936 and the maximum is 8,88,067. Same as the
minimum value of GDP is 10,14,000 and the maximum is 76,67,000.

This seems a daunting task at first, but becomes easier with some familiarity with the model.
b1 represents the upper asymptote for GDP. Looking at the chart, even the largest sales values fall just short of 80, so that s a reasonable starting value. b2is the difference between the value of y when x=0 and the upper asymptote. A reasonable starting value is the minimum value of y minus b1. Looking at the chart,say that
s about 7-80=-73. b3 can be roughly initially estimated by the negative of the slope between two "well separated" points on the plot. Looking at the chart there are a few points about x=2, y=10, and about x=6, y=36. The slope between these points is74 20 = 13.5 thus a rough initial estimate for 62

nonlinear regression model usually do not have the same interpretation as linearregression coefficients, and
often vary from model to model. b1 (Intercept) = 4691643 shows that, this levelof GDP does not depend on automobile manufacturing. If
automobile manufacturing will be zero in some period, then GDP standard will belike this. Std. Error = 595068.1 is small with respect to the value of the estimate. So it suggests that we can be confident in the estimate. Confidence interval shows the variation of the points from the line of interception.
