Executive summary
Introduction
The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy the needs and wants of the customers.
India has long-term potential to become a significant vehicle market. It has huge
population of nearly one billion people (of which 150-250 million are middle class),
and a current vehicle population of 3.5 million (equivalent to only 3.4 cars per 1000
people).
In spite of numerous market deterrents, the Indian automotive market has become the
focus of attention as several major auto manufacturers have announced large capital
investment plans to be carried out in the near future.
Prior to the early 90’s there were only four car companies manufacturing and selling
cars in India. Foreign investment was effectively banned and foreign technology
transfers were subject to government approvals. By 1993 the Indian government deli
censed the Indian car industry, which eased other foreign auto manufacture’s entry
into the market first under joint partnerships, then wholly owned subsidiaries.
Currently, India is in the midst of an economic-recovery where vehicle sales rose 47
percent to 73,000 units in March 2000, up from 49,410 units in March 1999. The
Indian passenger car industry has grown more than ten times in the last ten years with
sales increasing to more than four-lack vehicle.
Now a days due to change in trends in the automobiles the market scenario is
changing on a rapid phase so the same case in the auto accessory market . people are
more concern about good looks of the car and other features and facilities. The huge
demand in accessory market too, many of the car users go for after market
upgradation.

Conclusion-
From the research conducted here we can come to the conclusion that many car users
are not particular of buying the accessory from one particular dealer , as many prefer

buy accessory from others rather from company, only 35% of people know about
MGA.
According to the research conducted 70% of the respondents say that quality is the
first thing which comes to their mind while making buying decisions of accessories
for their car. Whereas 22% of respondents say that they are not much keen about the
quality as concerned to accessories to their cars.
As per the research results the influencer for many of the respondents are self
influenced whereas only 20% of the respondents consider their family members
suggestions while buying car accessories. 33% of the respondents say friends are the
influencers for them while making buying decisions of car accessories.
Performance is the first factor considered by most car users while buying accessory.

The s tudy helped me gain valuable insights in Opportuni ty
Analysis and Consumer Behavior , towards potent ial for MGA. This
project t i t led has been a knowledge gaining experience for me. By
interact ing with the responde nts and making vis i ts to the customers .
I have been able to understand that understanding customers is an art
and i t takes a very s t rong brand image for a company to re tain i tsel f
in the market . The resul ts of the survey proved to be both
encouraging and part ly discouraging too. The respondents were not
very posi t ive aboutMGA, which was qui te discouraging and a
negat ive s ign for the company. The segment for which MARUTI
should cater to is a price sensi t ive segment , so as the organizat ion
should focus on highl ight ing the addit ional perquis i tes that they
would provide with the car , i t i s going to bond wel l wi th the targeted
market . Though there are many compet i tors in the market for this
segment , the company has an advantage, but s t i l l i t cannot rule out
the local dealers . But I bel ieve that MARUTI has what i t takes to
become a name to reckon with in the market and I offer my best
wishes for the same and hope that my work wil l be of some use for
the company.
The research was taken looking to the scope in the I ndian automobile
industry. Thus the MGA different iated themselves from there
compet i tors to promote their products and t ry to make their market
monopoly in the accessory market .
The research shows the people are interested to know about the
MGA.
The potent ial for MGA in twin ci ty. This indicates an oppor tuni ty for
RNS Motors in the Indian automobile industry. The MARUTI have to
concentrate on promotional act ivi t ies and different iat ing their
product .

SECTION 01
INDUSTRY PROFILE
(1.1) BRIEF HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILES -
The automobile industry has changed the way people live and work. The earliest of modern
cars was manufactured in the year 1895. Shortly the first appearance of the car followed in
India. As the century turned, three cars were imported in Mumbai (India). Within decade
there were total of 1025 cars in the city.
The dawn of automobile actually goes back to 4000 years when the first wheel was used
for transportation in India. In the beginning of 15th century Portuguese arrived in China
and the interaction of the two cultures led to a variety of new technologies, including the
creation of a wheel that turned under its own power. By 1600s small steam-powered engine
models was developed, but it took another century before a full-sized engine-powered
vehicle was created.
The actual horseless carriage was introduced in the year 1893 by brothers Charles and
Frank Duryea. It was the first internal-combustion motor car of America, and it was
followed by Henry Ford's first experimental car that same year.
One of the highest-rated early luxury automobiles was the 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
that featured a quiet 6-cylinder engine, leather interior, folding windscreens and hood, and
an aluminum body. It was usually driven by chauffeurs and emphasis was on comfort and
style rather than speed.
During the 1920s, the cars exhibited design refinements such as balloon tires, pressed-steel
Consumer Att i tude towards Branded Accessories with
speci f ic reference to Cars from Maruti Suzuki
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 10
wheels, and four-wheel brakes. Graham Paige DC Phaeton of 1929 featured an 8-cylinder
engine and an aluminum body.
The 1937 Pontiac De Luxe sedan had roomy interior and rear-hinged back door that suited
more to the needs of families. In 1930s, vehicles were less boxy and more streamlined than
their predecessors. The 1940s saw features like automatic transmission, sealed-beam
headlights, and tubeless tires.
The year 1957 brought powerful high-performance cars such as Mercedes-Benz 300SL. It
was built on compact and stylized lines, and was capable of 230 kmh (144 mph).
Modern cars are generally light, aerodynamically shaped, and compact.

(1.2) GROWTH OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA-
Following India's growing openness, the arrival of new and existing models, easy
availability of finance at relatively low rate of interest and price discounts offered by the
dealers and manufacturers all have stirred the demand for vehicles and a strong growth of
the Indian automobile industry.
The Indian auto industry, worth US$ 34 billion in 2006, has grown at a CAGR of 14 per cent
over the last five years with total sales of vehicles reaching around 9 million vehicles in 2005-
06. That number is likely to see a significant boost, given that the first half of 2006-07 has
already witnessed a staggering growth rate of 17.12 per cent. Domestic car sales for the April-
September 2006 period stood at an impressive 4.86 million vehicles, including cars, two-
wheelers and commercial vehicles. According to industry experts, if this trend continues, sales
could touch 10 million by March 2007, clocking an annual growth rate of 20 per cent.
Destination India
India is on every major global automobile player’s roadmap, and the reasons for the
growth are:
India is the second largest two-wheeler market in the world
Fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world
11th largest passenger car market in the world
Expected to be the seventh largest by 2016
Robust production
India’s car production capacity is in for a US$ 2 billion boost. Auto majors have
announced massive investment plans which will push the country’s car production
past the psychological 2 million mark by the end of fiscal 2006-07, up 70 per cent
from 1.4 million units now. Even at 2 million, India, which stood at No.11 among
global car producing nations, will move two steps ahead, past UK (1.6 million) and
Canada (1.35 million). It will be neck and neck with Brazil’s 2-million capacities at
No.8.

Domestic Sales
Increased affluence, wider selection and the ready availability of car loans is driving
the Indian car market through the roof. During the last five years (2000-05), the
production of passenger cars in India increased by more than 100 per cent. India
achieved the sales of 1.11 million vehicles last year (2005).
Domestic sales have been growing at a clipping pace:
Passenger car sales rose by 22.84 per cent during April-September 2006,
compared to the corresponding period n 2005.
The cumulative growth of overall sales of passenger vehicles during April-
September of 2006-07 was 20.73 percent.
Utility Vehicle (UVs) sales grew at 12.85 per cent during the same period.
Overall, the commercial vehicles segment grew at 36.96 per cent. Growth of
Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles was 39.92 per cent. Light
Commercial Vehicles also performed well with a growth of 32.86 percent.
Exports
India is fast emerging as a manufacturing base for car exports. According to the
Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), a total of 89,338 vehicles were
exported in September 2006, a 58.07 per cent jump as compared to the same month
last year. While passenger vehicle exports grew at 13.15 per cent, two-wheelers and
commercial vehicle exports grew at 27.80 per cent.

(1.3) Economic impact-
On the canvas of the Indian Economy, Auto Industry occupies a prominent
place. Due to its deep forward and backward linkages with several key segments of
the economy, automotive industry has a strong multiplier effect and is capable of
being the driver of economic growth. A sound transportation system plays a pivotal
role in the country's rapid economic and industrial development. The well-developed
Indian automotive industry ably fulfils this catalytic role by producing a wide variety
of vehicles: passenger cars, light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, multi-
utility vehicles such as jeeps, scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, three wheelers, tractors
etc.
The automotive sector is one of the core industries of the Indian economy,
whose prospect is reflective of the economic resilience of the country. With 4%
contribution to the GDP and nearly 5% of the total industrial output, the automotive
sector has become a significant contributor to the exchequer. Continuous economic
liberalization over the years by the government of India has resulted in making India
as one of the prime business destination for many global automotive players. The
automobile industry witnessed a growth of 19.35 percent in April July 2006 when
compared to April July 2005.
The Indian automobile Industry has a mix of large domestic private players such
as Tata, Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj, Hero Honda and major international players
including GM, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Hyundai and Volvo.

Maintenance is something most of us ignore, until our vehicle stops
functioning, that is. And then we wonder what went wrong, where. Maintenance is
one of the most serious aspects of ownership. It determines the longevity,
performance and reliability of whichever vehicle you drive. Looking after your
vehicle involves more than taking care of its external coat of paint and keeping it
clean and shiny.
Maintenance means taking care of all the parts, even those that are inside the bonnet.
These are the ones that directly concern the performance of your vehicle. Besides
taking it to the service station at regular periods, it is a good idea to go through the
owner's manual that will give a fair idea about its routine maintenance.
Checking the battery, keeping a check on the oils, changing the oils, checking the
electrical system, are some of the absolutely unavoidable things to keep your vehicle
in good shape. Keeping a log book in which you keep all the details regarding repair,
maintenance, routine check-ups etc. will not only give you an accurate idea of what
needs to be done when.
AUTO ACCESSORIES INDUSTRY
The Indian auto accessories retail market is quite fragmented and unorganized
and is mainly concentrated in four metros. The industry's product mix can be broken
down into three areas: Replacement parts, maintenance items and accessories.
Replacement parts typically include both new and rebuilt parts used in repairing
vehicles (alternators, water pumps, batteries, brake pads, etc.). Maintenance items are
those used to maintain performance and aesthetics of vehicles (motor oil, fuses, other
fluids, car wash and wax formulas). Accessory items are those which are discretionary
and personal in preference. These include floor mats, air fresheners, seat covers and
so on.
Consumer Att i tude towards Branded Accessories with
speci f ic reference to Cars from Maruti Suzuki
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 17
There are two segments that one can delineate in the auto accessories retail segment:
The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) market and the Do-It-For-Me segment (DIFM). The DIY
market is comprised of individuals performing routine maintenance on their vehicles.
These consumers purchase replacement parts, lubricants and other ancillary products
from aftermarket parts retailers. The most common types of maintenance performed
by this segment is basic in nature (oil changes, batteries, radiator flushes, etc.). The
DIFM segment is also important for the industry as it caters to the needs of
professional installers, mechanics and garages performing maintenance for individual
consumers. These customers are typically less price sensitive than individuals since
they pass through costs to the end consumer. The margins in the DIFM market are a
bit tighter due to competition among suppliers while the DIY segment in India is still
in a very nascent.
Car Audio
One of the conspicuous products which have gained prominence in the
automotive retail market is the car audio. The Indian car audio market is estimated at
Rs 600 crore, a majority of which is dominated by unorganized players and the grey
market. The remaining one faces competition from major brands like Kenwood,
Blaupunkt and Sony among others. Bose Corporation for example, has an exclusive
arrangement with Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Audi for car audio systems. About 80
per cent turnover of Blaupunkt International – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bosch
Group, comes from its tie-up with automobile companies.
In contrast, for its Indian operations, a large portion of its turnover is from
sales to retail customers and a small share coming from its tie-up with automobile
makers such as Tata Motors, Hyundai Motors India, Ford India and Mahindra &
Mahindra. This indicates the level of focus needed in the auto accessories retail
Consumer Att i tude towards Branded Accessories with
speci f ic reference to Cars from Maruti Suzuki
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 18
market in India. Blaupunkt's new retail strategy aims at providing a platform for
customers to experience the car entertainment systems by displaying an entire range
of Blaupunkt products such as head units, speakers, amplifiers and other accessories
as well as car entertainment modules such as DVD players, screens and surround
sound systems.
IT Accessories
A country that boasts of being the information technology super power of the
world, India has little presence in IT based application in automobile retail sector. In
developed countries, electronic maps play a key role in the development of advanced
in-car infotainment technology, particularly in the application of navigation systems.
However, their functions have been limited to monitoring and anti-theft. Competition
has been focused on audio players and low-cost devices for safety and security
purposes. The gradual penetration into cars of a range of new technologies, including
video players, LCD displays, navigation, telematics and hands-free telephony is set to
open up new areas of competition even as it creates considerable growth
opportunities. Navigation, rear seat entertainment (RSE), telephony and telematics
1.3 FUTURE VIEW OF THE INDUSTRY
With production of six million two-wheelers, one million passenger cars and
multi utility vehicles (MUV) and 0.3 million commercials vehicles, the automobile
industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India today. Car ownership too is
growing rapidly in India with more and more car manufacturers investing in the
market. Besides this, since people are spending more time in their cars they want to
use it productively. And very soon, Indian drivers would be demanding advanced
safety and security and car infotainment features of the global market. According to
Drue Freeman, VP, Global Automotive Marketing and Sales, Philips Semiconductors,
"The Indian automotive market is poised for a rapid growth and technological
advancement which will revolutionize the role of the car in the Indian society." From
Consumer Att i tude towards Branded Accessories with
speci f ic reference to Cars from Maruti Suzuki
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 19
the time the driver approaches the car to unlock the door, until the time he arrives
safely at his destination, technology is transforming every step of the journey.
To begin with; How about a Maruti Wagon R with an Anti Lock Braking
system (ABS) + an Electronic Brake Distribution system (EBD), front and side
airbags for the driver and the co-driver, front seat belt pretensioners, seat belt warning
lights and doors ajar warning system, as standard features? Although these features
are not available in the Indian version, they come as standard ones in the Japanese
version. Similarly the Chinese version of the Toyota Corolla has ABS, Electronic
Brake Force Distribution and driver assistance systems like Vehicle Distance
Measuring Radar and Back Draft Radar system as standard features which are
currently unknown to Indian buyers. A decade ago, a car was merely a means of
transport and considered to be a luxury. But today although it is still a status symbol,
it is turning out to be a necessity.
Complementing this transformation, there is also a big change in the extent of
convenience demanded and electronic features that drivers are looking for in cars. A
sensor is primarily a sensing device that senses a command and delivers a response to
the driver via the instrument cluster. Though there are a number of sensors in
automobiles some common ones in Indian vehicles are temperature sensors that sense
the coolant temperature, engine temperature, engine oil temperature, level sensors that
sense the fuel level, engine oil level and brake oil level and speed sensors in power
train.
Common applications for sensors include power train, fuel system, braking
system, exhaust system, climate control and a steering system. On the other hand,
with increasing demand for additional electronic features, the tendency to pay a little
extra for such features is adding to the number of facilities operated by electronic
sensors. Consider the following changes in automobile technology largely due to
developments in sensor technology in the last one year.
* Automatic wipers:
Consumer Att i tude towards Branded Accessories with
speci f ic reference to Cars from Maruti Suzuki
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 20
Sensors located on the inner side of the windshield sense the pressure at which
the rain drops on the windscreen and control the wiper speed accordingly. This
technology is already in India and is available in Hyundai Sonata, Honda CRV,
Accord, Ford Endeavor and Toyota Camry.
* Electronically adjustable side mirrors:
Mirrors on either side can be controlled by the driver via a knob on the
steering wheel or on the inner door handle. It also allows the driver to fold the mirrors
once the car is parked. This feature is available in Hyundai Sonata, Honda Accord,
CRV, Ford Endeavor, Mondeo, Toyota Camry and Corolla. This technology has been
very successful and appreciated in cars such as Toyota Corolla and Honda Accord.
* ABS:
Anti-Lock Braking System is available in Hyundai Santro and Getz as
optional features. Chevrolet Optra is due to launch a new version with the ABS
feature. ²Intelligent Night Vision System: The system uses two infrared cameras,
placed under the headlamps, to sense infrared heat-emitting objects, which could be
beyond the range of illumination from the headlamps. Once the system identifies a
pedestrian, it sends a signal via a sensor and delivers a warning signal

The s tudy helped me gain valuable insights in Opportuni ty
Analysis and Consumer Behavior , towards potent ial for MGA. This
project t i t led has been a knowledge gaining experience for me. By
interact ing with the respondents and making vis i ts to the customers .
I have been able to understand that understanding customers is an art
and i t takes a very s t rong brand image for a company to re tai n i tsel f
in the market . The resul ts of the survey proved to be both
encouraging and part ly discouraging too. The respondents were not
very posi t ive aboutMGA, which was qui te discouraging and a
Consumer Att i tude towards Branded Accessories with
speci f ic reference to Cars from Maruti Suzuki
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 58
negat ive s ign for the company. The segment for which MARUTI
should cater to is a price sensi t ive segment , so as the organizat ion
should focus on highl ight ing the addit ional perquis i tes that they
would provide with the car , i t i s going to bond wel l wi th the targeted
market . Though there are many compet i tors in the mar ket for this
segment , the company has an advantage, but s t i l l i t cannot rule out
the local dealers . But I bel ieve that MARUTI has what i t takes to
become a name to reckon with in the market and I offer my best
wishes for the same and hope that my work wil l be of some use for
the company.
The research was taken looking to the scope in the Indian automobile
industry. Thus the MGA different iated themselves from there
compet i tors to promote their products and t ry to make their market
monopoly in the accessory m arket .
The research shows the people are interested to know about the
MGA.
The potent ial for MGA in twin ci ty. This indicates an oppor tuni ty for
RNS Motors in the Indian automobile industry. The MARUTI have to
concentrate on promotional act ivi t ies and dif ferent iat ing their
product .
Schemes & offers given by the company influence the customer to
change their decis ion

RECOMMENDATION
Create more awareness of the Maruti Genuine Accessory.
Company should concentrate on the marketing aspects of accessory.
Along with Local dealer should conduct demonstration and exposure of
accessory for existing car owners and potential customers.
Dealer should co-ordinate with company to conduct exhibition for all
types of Maruti models accessory manufactured and marketed by MGA.
Create more awareness of the dealers in the located city.
Comparing the price factors the MGA is too high from other local
accessory provider; company has to take some actions for the convenience
of the customers.
Create more advertisements in the local market.
Maintain Customer Database and follow-up for the new products launch
and promotion activities.
