HONDA IN INDIA
Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., (HSCI) was incorporated in December 1995 as a
joint venture between Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Japan and Siel Limited, a
Siddharth Shriram Group company, with a commitment to providing Honda’s
latest passenger car models and technologies, to the Indian customers. The
Honda City, its first offering introduced in 1997, revolutionized the Indian
passenger car market and has ever since been recognized as an engineering
marvel in the Indian automobile industry. The success of City as well as all its
other models has led HSCI to become the leading premium car manufacturer
in
India. The total investment made by the company in India till date is Rs.
1620 crores, further investment of RS. 1000 crore is planned and being
currently invested for the coming second plant in Rajasthan. The company
has a capacity of manufacturing 100,000 cars.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 15
Showcase Manufacturing Facility
HSCI’s state-of-the-art manufacturing unit was set up in 1997 at Greater
Noida, U.P with an investment of Rs. 450 crore. The green-field project is
spread across 150 acres of land. (Over 6,00,000 sq. m.).
The initial installed capacity of the plant was 30,000 cars per annum, which
was thereafter increased to 50,000 cars on a two-shift basis. The capacity
has further been enhanced to 1, 00,000 units annually in February 2008. The
capacity expansion was necessitated by the excellent performance of all the
Honda models, particularly the growing demand for City in India. Several
modifications were done by the company with the objective of offering
higher quality products to its customers, faster and quicker. The expansion
process also included expansion of the covered area in the plant, from
1,07,000 sq. m. to 1,31,794 sq. m.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 16
HSCI currently produces the All New City, Civic and Accord models in India
and the premium SUV, CR-V is sold as a fully Imported unit from Japan.

ABOUT HONDA
The history of the Honda Motor Company began with the vision of one man -
Soichiro Honda. His dream was personal mobility for everyone.
Soichiro Honda founded the Honda Motor Company in 1948. In the same
year, he designed and engineered the first product of this company - a 50 cc
motorized bike on a bicycle frame - in his small shed at Hamamatsu.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 19
'Challenging the Limits' is a phrase commonly heard across the length
and breadth of Honda. It was made popular by its founder, Soichiro Honda,
who knew that his fledgling company had to out-think and out-perform its
competitors every step of the way in order to survive. After all, he started
out at a time when his country was devastated by war.
Soichiro's vision was international in character. His desire was to lead the
world in technology, and make a significant contribution to the creation of a
better society. As a result, most of the products that Honda developed
started out by making a difference. Whether it was the CVCC engine in the
sixties or the solar powered car of the nineties, they all sought to challenge
and overcome conventional wisdom.
World's Toughest Training Tracks- No story of Honda is complete without
the mention of motor sports. Honda started participating in racing at the
highest level much before it found international acclaim as a manufacturer.
Once again, it was Soichiro Honda who was the driving force. He considered
the highly competitive world of motor sports as the ideal training ground for
his people. Through racing, Honda engineers learnt to accomplish more than
they ever dreamed possible within limited amounts of time. They become
quicker at responding to the technological challenges that arise in the
commercial world.
Honda's belief in the benefits of racing is sincere and unwavering. The
company has invested millions of dollars in building two world-class racing
circuits. The Suzuka opened its gates in September 1962. Located in
northern Japan, it has become an integral part of the Grand Prix calendar.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 20
The Twin Ring Motegi, on the other hand, is a racing circuit for fans.
Inaugurated in August 1997, it offers an oval-shaped Super Speedway, an
Active Safety Training Park and the extremely popular Honda automobile
museum.
Honda is already, and literally, making big strides in the development of the
world's first humanoid robot. Christened ASIMO, it is designed on the
presumption that if a robot could walk like a human, it may be able to work
like one. Honda is also taking to the skies with its very own aircraft
technology. It took a 30-man team only six years to develop a prototype.
Together, these diverse ideas prove the one central maxim that is dear to
everyone at Honda - Challenging the Limits.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 21

INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Over a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobile industry has
been driving its own growth through phases. The entry of Suzuki Corporation
in Indian passenger car manufacturing is often pointed as the first sign of
growth. Since then the automobile sector witnessed rapid growth year after
year. By late-90's the industry reached self reliance in engine and
component manufacturing from the status of large scale importer. With the
Indian middle class earning higher per capita income, more people are ready
to own private vehicles
THE OVERVIEW
India’s car market has emerged as one of the fastest growing in the world.
The number of cars sold domestically is projected to double by 2010, and
domestic production is skyrocketing as foreign makers are setting up their
own production plants in India. The government’s 10-year plan aims to
create a $145 billion auto industry by 2016.
According to McKinsey, the auto sector could be worth $375 billion by 2015,
up from $65 billion in 2002. McKinsey thinks India could capture $25 billion
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 24
of this amount. Out of 400 Indian suppliers, 80 percent have the ISO 9000
certificate—the international standard for quality management.
Domestic Sales
The cumulative growth of the Passenger Vehicles segment during April 2011
– March 2012 was 12.17 percent. Passenger Cars grew by 11.79 percent,
Utility Vehicles by 10.57 percent and Multi Purpose Vehicles by 21.39
percent in this period.
The Commercial Vehicles segment grew marginally at 4.07 percent. While
Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles declined by 1.66 percent, Light
Commercial Vehicles recorded a growth of 12.29 percent.
Exports
Automobile Exports registered a growth of 22.30 percent during the current
financial year.
The growth was led by two wheelers segment which grew at 32.31 percent.
Commercial vehicles and Passenger Vehicles exports grew by 19.10 percent
and 9.37 percent respectively. Exports of Three Wheelers segment declined
by 1.85 percent.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 25
Consistent growth and dedication have made the Indian automobile industry
the second- largest tractor and two-wheeler manufacturer in the world. It is
also the fifth-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in the world. It is
among the largest in Asia.
The key players like Hindustan Motors, Maruti Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd,
Tata Motors, Bajaj Motors, Hero Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra
have been dominating the vehicle industry. A few of the foreign players like
Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd., Skoda India Private
Ltd. have also entered the market and have catered to the
Customers need to a large extent. Moreover, the automobile companies are
coming up with financial schemes such as easy EMI repayment systems to
boost sales. There have been exhibitions like Auto-expo at Pragati Maidan,
New Delhi to share the technological advancements.
Scope of Indian Automobile Sector
The Indian automobile industry is going through a phase of rapid change and
high growth. With new projects coming up on a regular basis, the industry is
undergoing technological change. The major players are expanding their
plants and focusing on mass customization, mass production, etc.
INVESTMENT IN AUTO SECTOR
Nearly every automobile company is investing at a higher rate than ever
before to achieve a high growth trajectory. The overall investment in the
sector has been increasing quite rapidly. It is expected that by the end of
2012 Indian automobile sector will be investing a huge amount as Rs. 30,000
crores.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 26
Like Maruti Udyog has plans of investing Rs. 6,500 crores; the Tata Motors is
coming up with more investment of Rs. 2,000 crores in its compact car
project. Not only the Indian companies but also foreign players like Hyundai
are coming up with the investment of more than Rs. 3,800 crores in India
and many more.

LESSONS FROM ORGANIZATION
Practical training is one of the important aspects of study of B.B.A (Bachelor
of Business Administration) for getting theoretical & practical knowledge.
Such training is most helpful for augmenting the skills, ability, & also
capability of the students. To get the job the theoretical as well as practical
knowledge is required. Hence the study of management is very important.
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 54
I am studying in BHARATESH COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. In
this 2nd year, 30 days training for preparing project report is essential. It was
a wonderful experience during the training at the APEX HONDA. And I have
also come to know that a big gap exists between theoretical knowledge that
we have learnt and analyzed in practically. At Apex I studied that for the
success of any organization lies among the co-ordination between the
employees of different Departments of the organization.
I, here, have put unique emphasis on organization study of APEX HONDA
based on our learning & understanding.
