Introduction :- India is being recognized as potential emerging auto market.
Foreign players are adding to their investments in Indian auto industry.
7.4 million two wheelers were sold in India in 2008-2009.
80% of two wheelers sold in India are Motorcycle.
Mahindra With its 62 years of automotive manufacturing experience, strongbrand equity and recent acquisition of Kinetic motors Ltd. has entered in this
market which has been growing consistently over past few year.
Competing with the likes of Hero Honda, Bajaj and TVS with their expertise in
two wheeler manufacturing and having large products portfolio, it would be
difficult to clinch decent market share.
Mahindra & Mahindra has launched its scooters, a portfolio of three (Duro,
Rodeo and Flyte) as a foothold to gain entry into two wheeler market also,acquisition of kinetic motors added Nova, Kine and 4S to its portfolio.

Problem 3:- Can M&M acquire 10-15% in
the next 2-3 years
No. With the current scenario, the scooter comprise of 12% of total two wheeler market of 8 million. Also, Mahindrais new entrant in Scooter market so we can assume itcould achieve maximum of 20 % market share in scootermarket in two to three years.
So effectively it is:-
20% of 12% of 8million which comesout to be 2.5 %.
-
8/8/2019 Mindscape 2010 01 Final Rev0
17/27
Also the current capacity of manufacturing is 4.5 lakhs oftwo wheelers which is 5.5 % of 8 million. So Withoutexpanding its current plant capacity it cannot achieve therequired target.
In the last four to five years, the two-wheeler market haswitnessed a marked shift towards motorcycles at theexpense of scooters. In the rural areas, consumers havecome to prefer sturdier bikes to withstand the bad road
conditions. So, M&Ms strategy not to enter motorcyclemarket immediately could not help them to acquire thetargeted 10 -15 % of total two wheeler market of 8 million.
