ConclusionIndian Bearing Industry- A ProfileThe Bearing manufacturing activity in India started in the late 40s with the production of small and standard bearings.

The Indian industry today manufactures small and medium bearings mainly in five categories.

1. Ball bearings.

2. Cylindrical roller bearings.

3. Taper roller bearings.

4. Spherical roller bearings.

5. Needle roller bearings.

Today the industry is meeting around 70% of its demand for common varieties and sizes of bearings and rest is imported. The industry has established a highly diversified product range of around 500 types of bearings. Automobile industry accounts for bulk of the total demand of this industry. Given the rising production in auto sector, the demand for bearings is going to increase in coming years. The production for the year 2003-04 was 2705 million numbers.

Almost all the units have foreign collaboration. The Indian Bearing industry makes around 500 types of bearings as against over 30,000 types of bearings being used by the Indian industry.

In our large country we hardly manufacture 2-3% of the total range being offered around the world. And the industrial units--however big or small--are mainly dependent on imported stuff. Our manufacturers in India are small producers as compared to the volume of requirements received by the bearing traders.

Distribution Of Production:

The bearings industry can be further sub-segmented into ball and roller bearings. Roller bearings further are of four types - taper, cylindrical, spherical and needle roller bearings. During the past six years, the highest growing sub-segments have been cylindrical roller and needle roller bearings. Both these have grown on a lower base.

Market Dynamics:

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Market:

The OEM market for bearing represents the demand arising out of manufacturing new vehicles and industrial manufacturers. The demand for the OEM market directly depends upon the growth in user industry. OEM market accounts for 60% of total demand of bearing industry. This market is characterized by requirements of high quality, stringent delivery norms and lower margins.

Replacement Market:

The replacement market represents the demand arising on account of replacing the used and worn-out bearings. The size of replacement market is dependent on equipment population and frequency of maintenance. Replacement market accounts for 40% of total demand for bearing industry. The margins in this market are higher.

The replacement market is highly price sensitive and has higher share of unorganized players and cheaper imported bearings.

Opportunities for the Bearing Industry:

1) India is now amongst one of the most preferred destinations for exporting hub for most of the major global OEM players. Following is just an extract of list of companies already outsourcing from the country.

Hyundai Export base for small cars

Ford exporting CKDs of Ikon to South Africa and other countries

Tata Indica being sold in UK under the Rover brand 20,000 pa

Skoda Hub for exports of cars to neighboring countries

General Motors Global Purchasing Team

Volvo Global buying team

Delphi International purchase office

Renault scouting for truck part suppliers

Toyota is investing Rs 380 crore in a plant to make manual transmissions. It will supply manual transmission gearboxes to its worldwide markets, production capacity 160,000 units annually.

Maruti is putting up an Rs 350 crore diesel engine plant. Maruti plans to start making its own common rail direct injection diesel (CRDi) engines (using Fiat technology) from its new plant in Haryana in 2006.

Fiat's India operation is working towards becoming a global sourcing hub for components. It exported components worth E7 million last year to its operations in South Africa

2) Passenger cars estimated to touch two million in 2010 and three million in

2015.

3) Higher GDP growth. 4) Indias huge geographic spread Mass Transport System 5) Increasing Road Development. E.g. Golden Quadrilateral project,

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna. 6) Replacement of aging four wheelers. 7) Graduating from Two-wheeler to four-wheeler. 8) Increasing dispensable income of rural agricultural sector (more tractors) 9) Growing Concept of Second Vehicle in Urban Areas.

10) Reduction in excise duty to zero, in the tractor segment.

11) Bearings are used in more than 50 % of the auto compo Threats to the Bearing Industry:

Import Threat:

The custom duty on imported bearings including excise is 36% (aprox.) expected to come down further in line with WTO agreements. Reduction in import duty is likely to attract more imports in the future. The imported bearings are targeted mainly at the replacement market. Imports are widespread in the case of ball bearings. Coupled with inflow of spurious products the organized sector is also facing threat from smuggling of goods. Major imports of ball bearing are from Japan, China, Russia and Romania.

Spurious Products:

Spurious products form a significant part of the Indian bearing market. Spurious products mainly cater to the replacement market, which is price sensitive. Spurious bearings are of poor quality and are relatively unsafe and unreliable. They use material, which are of inferior quality and the workmanship is also poor. The presence of unorganized sector in the bearing

Industry poses a real threat to the organised players.

Increase in Raw Material Prices:

Steel and alloy steel forms the basic material for the manufacturing of bearings, account for almost 45% of total net sales. Steel prices therefore has significant impact on margins. The significant increase in steel prices have resulted in pricing and margin pressure on bearing manufacturers. Companies expect that the steel prices will show an upward trend or atleast remain firm in the coming future.

Company Profile(The renowned industrialist, late Shri B.M. Birla, under the name of National Bearing Company Limited, founded NATIONAL ENGINEERING INDUSTRIES LTD., JAIPUR in the year 1946 as a pioneer industry in the field of bearing manufacturing.The first bearing was manufactured in 1950 with a modest start of 30,000 bearings in 19 sizes.

2. FAG

3. NRB

4. TATA

5. TIMKEN

6. ABC

These are the major competitors of NEI.

They have their own strength and weakness. SKF is the biggest competitor among these.

Objective of the study:

To identify the new product for development through market research activityAccording to Rajan Saxena-

A new product is any product which is perceived by the customer as being new. This could involve repositioning of existing product or offering the existing products at low prices, or making improvements in the existing products, or adding new product items to the existing product line, or for the matter, taking up a product line which is totally new to the organizations or new to the world.

Research Methodology:-The methodology adopted for this research was a survey of Distributors, Spare part Dealers, Mechanics, and workshops of various companies. These people were asked various questions regarding bearings used in various vehicles and latest models (existing in Indian market). The survey was done for two wheelers, three wheelers, four wheelers, MUVs, LCVs, HCVs.

As the objective of the survey was to find out the bearing numbers Which are used at different applications in vehicle. Information was collected in following way.

Personal meeting

By asking Questions from Distributors bearings used at different applications in vehicles.

By asking Questions from Spare part dealers bearings used at different applications in vehicles.

By asking Questions from Workshops of various companies bearings used at different applications in vehicles.

By asking Questions from mechanics bearings used at different applications in vehicles.

The sample chosen for research included workshop owners /mechanics working in and around Jaipur. Total number of Workshops & Distributors/ stockiest took part in this survey were 30.

The primary source of data collection has been the various Workshops /Mechanics in Jaipur. For a better response, the Distributors/stockiest were surveyed so as to have comprehensive results and the observations made, may be helpful to NEI to take necessary steps at every level of the Value chain.

The secondary data was collected from various companies catalogs, which manufacture the bearings in India. Secondary data were helpful, when survey was done.

Samples for survey: Workshops for Cars /Muvs /Suvs.

Workshops for Two wheelers.

Workshops for Three wheelers.

Mechanics

Distributors of various bearings Brands.

Spare part dealers also dealing in Bearings.

Workshops of various companies.

Scope of the study:The worksheet was administered to the Workshops/Mechanics & Distributors/Stockiest present in Jaipur area. So the received responses are a picture of market scenario of Jaipur only and the results should not be considered to be representative of the scenario of the whole bearings industry throughout India or any location other than Jaipur. Whatever conclusion may come out from the survey, the user of the information should keep this fact in mind that this is only representative of the scenario of Jaipurs bearing market and the information so obtained should not be applied elsewhere without proper survey of that particular area.

Data AnalysisThe data so collected from various companies was analyzed using the

MS Excel software provided under the Microsoft office. The data is analyzed under the various heads so as to get a broad picture of bearings in the Jaipur bearing market. Recommendations

1) NBC should increase the range of bearings. NBC manufactured over 500 types of bearing but it is not enough for existing in long term market.

2) NBC is the no. 1 supplier to the Indian railway, so it will be best for NBC to become no. 1 in other sectors like automobile and industry also. 3) NBC is the strong brand in the market so it should keep its popularity by keeping competitive prices with best quality.

4) NBC should keep on increasing the range of bearings as the models launched in the market and before launching the models.

5) Duplicate bearings are being sold in the market with same packaging and same printing of NBC. These bearings looks like 100%NBC bearing, but these bearings have poor quality as compare to real NBC. These bearings are spoiling the name of NBC. Because of these bearings manufacturers and retailers NBC is getting loss and his image in the market.

While purchasing bearings consumers think they will be using best quality bearing(NBC), but these bearings does not work as NBC bearing does and they get fail very soon. So again consumer does not purchase NBC.

So it is required to take steps against these manufacturers and whoever sold these bearings. For keeping best image and getting more profit.

6) NBC does not have good image and complete range for Tata trucks. So these bearing should be manufactured for getting profit and competition to SKF and Timken.

7) As well as NBC does not have range for latest cars which are being launched day by day in the market, so there is also required to manufacture requires bearings for organization growth.

8) It was seen when survey was being done, that NBC does not give good schemes like coupons, any other prices to mechanics so they dont like to purchase only NBC. They like to purchase the bearing with good quality at reasonable price and which gives them coupons and other things. So NBC should make some schemes to keep mechanics happy.

9) It was seen that advertisements of NBC are not adequate, so there should be aggressive advertisements.

10) There is required to meet continuously with mechanics in their own garage or their workshops.

11) List of new sizes to be developed is made and is being retained to organization, as list is confidential.

Conclusion

The topic assigned to me To identify the new product for development through research activity required a great deal of field study. The market survey forms an essential part of the project work. The conclusions were drawn on the basis of the information gathered during the training.

NBC is already manufacturing over 500 types of bearings it is good for the company ,but there is required to increasing the range of bearings.

There is good market for bearings which are not being manufactured by NBC. (Specially in Cars)Better is not enough when best is expected

To remain a strong Brand in the marketplace company has to be a bit aggressive in advertising and promotions and to keep its distributors updated about the new developments in the company.
