Country Profile

Page 7: STEPLEED for automobile industry

1.1 Profile of UGANDA

History: 

A review of the impact of Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) in Uganda was

undertaken on four aspects, namely: The Impact of Privatisation on Society; The

impact of Public Expenditure Reform and Management on Social Services Delivery;

The Impact of Liberalisation on Agricultural Production and Food Security and a desk

review on The Differences in Perceptions of Poverty.

The study on Privatisation also revealed that there were gains and loses. For

example, Government managed to achieve its fiscal objective of raising tax revenue

from the privatised companies. There was consensus that privatisation has led to

an increase in product quality and range on the market. In addition, there was an

overall rise in employment. However, the same study demonstrates how

government had to inject a lot of money into some of the State Owned Enterprises

(SOEs) before they could be sold. In addition government was unable to prevent

asset stripping and under-valuation of net-worth of SOEs resulting in a poor recovery

of proceeds from their sale. Even when there was an overall rise in employment,

the greatest increase of jobs created was in the lower cadre with hardly new

opportunities created at top management levels for nationals. Many people were

retrenched prior to privatisation and the right for the employees to unionise was

greatly weakened.

Some of the gains obtained from the public expenditure reforms include

macroeconomic stability and relative increase in spending on social services. The

gains were however, negated by substantial increases in the cost of delivery of the

social services amidst institutional weaknesses that did not ensure that increased

allocations were also translated into increased access to services by the poor.

Another key factor among others, which negates the gains, is the disproportionate

rise in salaries of public servants compared to the cost of living.

Page 8: STEPLEED for automobile industry

From the findings, there is overwhelming evidence that the impact of SAPs takes a

political economy dimension, with some groups benefiting from the reforms and others

being adversely affected by the same reforms, especially the poor and vulnerable

groups. For example, women and men’s roles in the economic and social domains

continue to reflect a fundamental imbalance in their access to and control over

resources and productive activities. Furthermore, the reforms have had the effect

of substituting government’s provision of services and increasing the responsibilities

that have disproportionately fallen on women. In addition, liberalisation has increased

the burden of women in a typical rural family who often carry the greater portion of

workload. It has also worsened the food security situation as households responded

to price signals within limited resources and technological base by increasing cash

crop production at the expense of food crop production.

The findings also show that conceptual and methodological approaches to defining

and measuring poverty explain the discrepancy in the perceptions between measured

and perceived poverty.

If poverty eradication is to remain central to these policies, some aspects of SAPs,

which clearly have not worked well for the poor, need to be modified, and those that

cannot work at all for the poor need to be discontinued. Therefore, a mechanism is

needed to ensure effective and genuine participation of all stakeholders in taking

these policies further and developing alternatives that are acceptable to all.

The colonial boundaries created by Britain to delimit Uganda grouped together a wide

range of ethnic groups with different political systems and cultures. These differences

prevented the establishment of a working political community after independence was a

chieved in 1962. The dictatorial regime of Idi Amin (1971‐79) was responsible for the de

aths of some 300,000 opponents while guerrilla war and human rights abuses under Mil

ton Obote (1980‐85) claimed at least another 100,000 lives. The rule of Yoweri Museveni since 1986 has

brought relative stability and economic growth to Uganda. During the 1990s, the govern

ment promulgated non‐party presidential and legislative elections.

Page 9: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Population and Macro:

The Ugandan population is estimated at 31,367,972 in July 20082. Uganda’s GDP in

PPP is estimated at $34.23 billion with the corresponding GDP per capita at 1,257 in

2008. The GDP is forecasted to grow at an average of 6.4% real growth rate. Services,

Agricultural and Industrial sectors comprise the greatest proportion of the GDP at

46.2%, 29%, and 24.8% respectively. Still, agriculture remains the largest source of

employment within the country. Inflation is averaged 8.5% rate in 20094.

Banking System:

Following a deep banking crisis in 1998‐1999, Uganda’s banking sector has

experienced a recovery and the regulatory environment has focused on creating

security, confidence and maintaining strong capitalization rates. The sector has

experienced tighter supervision from the Bank of Uganda, and higher capital

requirements with the passing of the Financial Institutions Act in 2004 and the Financial

Institutions Regulations in 2005. This facilitated a quick recovery of the sector following

the closing of several domestic banks in 1998 and 1999.

As of May 2009 there are 23 licensed banks operating in the country (See Appendix A),

22 of which are operational. Commercial banks hold approximately US$3.5 billion in

total assets made up of approximately 5 million accounts. This is equivalent to a 16%

commercial bank penetration rate given the current population.

According to the IMF, Uganda has one of the most developed financial systems

among low‐income oil importing nations (including, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique,

Tanzania, and

Zambia) which has substantially increased in importance in the last 3 years. The

financial sector forms approximately 29.6% of the service contribution to GDP, which is

approximately US$

2.1B, or 13.5% of total GDP. Services are the fastest growing sector of the economy,

contributing 45% of total GDP (US$ 7.1 B). The latest IMF data, reports that Deposit

Page 10: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Money Bank assets formed 15.7% of GDP in 2007.

Uganda has made significant strides in regulating the banking sector by

classifying financial institutions into groups so as to facilitate the granting of licenses

for commercial operations. There are four tiers of financial institutions (See Appendix

A), Two Development Banks, Four Investment Banks, ten FOREX bureaus, and twenty

insurance companies.

Commercial banks are classified as tier 1 institutions, and are authorized to hold

checking, savings and time‐deposit accounts for individuals and institutions in local as

well as International currencies. Commercial banks are also authorized to buy and sell

foreign exchange, issue letters of credit and make loans to depositors and non‐depositors.

The 22 banks currently operating in Uganda, hold approximately USD $3.5

Billion in assets, and approximately 61% of those assets are held by banks that are

majority owned by foreign entities (See Appendix A). The banking industry is relatively

young, with approximately 20% of all commercial bank assets held by institutions that

entered Uganda as licensed commercial banks after 1990.

1.2 The Ugandan Context

Geographical Location and Environment: Uganda is situated in the Eastern part of

Africa, bordered by the Sudan to the North, Kenya to the East, Tanzania and Rwanda to

the South and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the West. Uganda has abundant

natural resources, which, however, are under serious threat from degradation due to

poor management practices including and leading to overgrazing, deforestation,

siltation of water bodies, drying up of wet lands and poor agricultural practices.

Page 11: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Poverty, civil strife, wars, conflicting policies and poor enforcement of regulations

exacerbate these environmental problems.

The Government of Uganda (GOU): Uganda is currently governed under the movement

system. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) in 1986 introduced this system.

Under this political system, political parties are restricted. This is enshrined in the

national constitution, promulgated in 1995. In June 2000, Ugandans, voting in a

referendum, chose to continue with the movement system of Governance. Since

then, however, more space has been opened up to political parties, allowing them to

operate their national offices. Under the movement system, representation in the Local

Council (LC) system, which is the political structure of the local government, is through

electoral colleges, starting from the village to the district. 30% of these seats are

reserved for women, and 10% for People with Disability (PWDs).

GOU has made institutional reforms to establish a decentralised system of

Governance, with the prime objective of devolving powers to the districts and sub-

county levels. Currently, there are 56 districts, 167 counties and 893 Sub-counties and

a total population estimated at 22 million people. Although implementation of

decentralisation started in 1997, internalisation of the system is yet to be fully realised

by the entire population and accepted by all Uganda’s development partners.

Civil Society: For purpose of SAPRI, Civil Society is used to refer to those institutions

and individuals, which are independent from the state and political parties but interact

with and influence the state. It comprises of a wide variety of organisations including:

student associations, private media, trade unions, diverse professional associations,

producer groups, intellectuals, peasant associations, informal networks, NGOs,

Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and individuals. With the perception of an

increasing space, civil society in Uganda today is growing in strength with the NGO sub-

sector being the more active category with their role in development acknowledged but

constantly changing. Although CSOs have concentrated on service delivery in

the past, they are now increasingly getting involved in policy dialogue with

government and at international level.

Page 12: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Multi-lateral Institutions: Currently, a significantly bigger percentage of Uganda’s

national budget (roughly 52%) is dependent on external aid with the World Bank and

IMF by far the biggest lenders to Government. This gives these Development Partners

a lot of influence on the type of polices that are implemented by Government, especially

economic reform policies. Uganda’s outstanding debt stock, mainly owed to multi-

lateral institutions stands at US $ 3.574 as at the end of June 2001. Debt servicing

costs remain high, although with the recent enhanced Highly Indebted Poor

Countries (HIPC) Initiative, it now accounts for 8% of export earnings. However, the

level of external debt remains a significant constraint to economic development.

Socio cultural Environment: Much as Uganda’s economic performance over the past

decade has been considerable, and national statistics indicate that absolute poverty has

reduced, with the population living below the poverty line moving from 56% in 1992 to

44% in 1997 to 35% in the year 2000, the poverty situation is still bad. The gap between

the rich and the poor has widened. The multiple faces of poverty vary between

districts and regions, and among different categories of the population. Poverty

remains more prevalent in the East and in the North where it is at 67%, and women are

proportionately poorer than their male counterparts. The situation is worsened by the

HIV/AIDS pandemic, which has had adverse effects on human and natural resources as

well as household incomes. According the UN agencies country assessment of Uganda,

HIV prevalence in pregnant women was as high as 9.5% by 1998.

Uganda enjoys a rich cultural heritage stemming from the country’s ethnic diversity. The

1995 Uganda constitution identifies 56 ethnic groups. Although there has been Western

and Asian cultural and technological influence, Ugandans are bonded in ethnic groups

by common cultural values, norms, beliefs, attitudes, rituals, language, food, dress,

music and the visual arts. While some of these values are good, others, such as

early marriages and female genital mutilation, are negative and are retrogressive

to development. Of specific significance is the gross gender imbalance that penetrates

all sections and levels of the Ugandan society and is skewed against women.

Corruption is another evil that erodes the Ugandan society and can be largely attributed

Page 13: STEPLEED for automobile industry

to the degeneration of cultural values as a direct consequence of years of lawlessness

and turmoil. In the area of information technology (IT), Uganda has not yet fully

taken advantage of the global revolution. Lack of appreciation of IT is exacerbated

by illiteracy and ignorance among the population, low level of technological

development and poverty, which hampers affordability of IT. Developing countries are

important to motor industry because collectively they form large and exclusive market.

In developing country industry is very largely made up of representatives subsidiaries of

large motor companies based on source countries. Four stages in growth

Sales and servicing: vehicles imported in on wheels in complete form and merely sold

and service and repaired.

Commercial vehicle assembly: bus and semi-truck are imported in semi knock down

form and are assembled within country.

Car assembly: car and truck are imported in completely knock down vehicle and are

assembled locally.

Motor vehicle manufacture: local manufacturer of major motor vehicle component

such as engine and body.

In Uganda:

Uganda is small but very long established market for motor vehicles. Vehicle population

is increased by 9% per annum. But it is not expected to continue.

All dealerships arc held in respect of exclusive country-wide sales, plus official

spares service, repairs and servicing. The latter are conditions a dealer must

undertake when given the franchise by the manufacturer, and with vehicle stocks, are

the largest capital outlay to be faced. Stocks of spares alone range from £25,000 to

almost £200,000, depending on unit sales and the number of snakes and models.

Smaller dealers who handle several franchises to increase turnover are hard hit

by having to carry a wide range of spates.

Page 14: STEPLEED for automobile industry

The companies holding dealerships in Uganda have sprung from a variety of

backgrounds. The earliest was formed in 1908 to hport cotton seed and to

plant cotton. it developed into a general trading company, and as one of several

enterprises acquired the Ford franchise in 1922. The British Motor Corporation franchise

is also held by a general trading company whose tither interests include bicycles and

caterpillar tractors. A third company entered the motor trade via tractors for sugar

production. A second group of four large companies, all holding more than one

franchise, were formed expressly as motor dealers. All were originally based in

Kenya and became Ugandan about the time of independence but maintain some

operational contact with Nairobi. A third group of six dealers, all hut one operating

on a smaller scale than those above, started as small motor repair garages,

graduating via second hand car sales to acquiring one or more, dealerships. All are

Asian owned, with owner-manager, family type organization, and hold franchises

obtained during the past ten years. The remaining two dealerships are manufacturer-

owned Fiat selling cars and trucks, Leyland trucks and buses.

Excepting Fiat and Leyland, the motor dealers in Uganda are locally financed in that

there is no capital investment by overseas manufacturers. Initiative in obtaining the

dealership usually also came from the local firm.

Location. All 15 dealers are based in Kampala. although they hold exclusive nights to

sell their respective makes of vehicles throughout Uganda. Only one has up-

country branches at Srnja and Mable, and these arise from the wider trading

function of the company rather than from the motor trade itself.2 All have agents in most

towns ouii’cte Kampala, and most also have agents within the city too. Almost all

dealers told of efforts to extend up-country agent sales, but with the exception of the

Uganda Company, all estimated that at Least 90 percent of sales were made in

Kampala. This is borne out by the fact that 84 percent of all now vehicles in Uganda are

registered in Kampala)

This amazing degree of centrality arises from several function. Transportation are good

like road and rail connectivity. To get facility and financial assistance to effect the deal

Page 15: STEPLEED for automobile industry

customer must come into the capital city. Within Kampala there are 11 dealers have

premise along Kampala road with greatest concentration at its eastern end.

Commercial vehicle assembly, buses and Lorries from skid pack began in Uganda in

1950. There are now six assembly plants near Kampala, and seventh operated by

ministry of work. SKD industry consist of bolting together several large companies and

sub-assemblies. Tooling and machinery costing to varied from 2000 to 24000 dollar.

Flexibility is needed as the scale of operation is too small to require assembly work on

every working day of year. Purpose to import in skid form is to save transportation cost.

By skid cost can be saved up to 30 to 40 percent.

Automobile industry of Uganda

Page 17: STEPLEED for automobile industry

2.1 VOLKSWAGEN by CFAO: A new high-potential partnership

The first Volkswagen distribution agreements were signed at the end of May 2011,

covering passenger vehicles in Tanzania and Uganda and LCV (light commercial

vehicles) in Tanzania. The partnership should be expanded in 2012 as the marketing

agreement was secured for six different countries following a call for tenders organized

between Volkswagen and a number of distribution groups.

The first vehicles have been on sale in Tanzania since late 2011 and mainly consist of

Amarok pick-ups and Tiguan and Touareg SUVs. CFAO Motors Uganda will initially be

marketing passenger vehicles (Tiguan, Touareg and Passat).

The new subsidiaries in these two countries will offer customers sales and after-sales

services that meet Volkswagen standards of quality, including sales advice, warranties,

spare parts and accessories, and workshops that can handle all mechanical, bodywork

and service requirements.

A legend that just keeps going

From the early 1930s the Beetle helped define the Volkswagen brand as that of an

automaker capable of tempting customers from all over the world into buying

exceptional cars. Its legend has continued unabated up to the present time based on a

simple but sensible strategy of making innovation accessible to everyone.

Prestige and innovation for everyone

Year in, year out, Volkswagen manages to deliver something special: the first synchro

system with the Passat, the VR6 engine in the Golf, the TSI direct injection engine, the

TDI diesel engine, DSG dual clutch gearbox, Park Assist and Lane Assist technologies,

etc. The brand uses this progress to provide motorists with the latest benefits of

enhanced performance as well as safety, cost efficiency and respect for the

environment.

Page 18: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Blue Motion: where good sense meets passion

Volkswagen's Blue Motion program uses the latest technological innovations to

generate better eco-performance and higher savings for motorists through TDI particle

filter engines, tailored gearboxes, adapted tires, optical aerodynamics, etc. This

approach to innovation and progress should satisfy even the most die-hard

perfectionists!

2.2 HYUNDAI by CFAO: A future full of potential

Since January 2011, CFAO Automotive has been the exclusive importer and distributor

for the Hyundai brand in six different

countries: Zimbabwe, Malawi, Madagascar and Mauritius for passenger vehicles,

and Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar for commercial vehicles.

We market a wide range of Hyundai city cars (i10, i20 and i30), family sedans (Accent,

Elantra and Sonata), SUVs (Tucson/ix35 and Santa Fe), the Cargo Van minibus and

small commercial vehicles.

In each country, we have an extensive sales and after-sales network operating in all

major cities.

40 triumphant years!

It has only taken Hyundai 40 years to forge a reputation in the competitive world of auto

manufacturing. The turning point came in the early 2000s when the Group wagered all

of its resources on improving quality. Since then it has registered phenomenal growth

and development which have turned it into the world's fourth largest automaker. Aside

from its dynamism and capacity for innovation, Hyundai is driven by an extraordinary

passion and quest for excellence that have enabled it to surmount numerous crises.

Page 19: STEPLEED for automobile industry

« Modern Premium »

Hyundai is now a general automaker that satisfies drivers' needs by going beyond

traditional market segmentation. No effort is spared to win over the most demanding

customers. Everything from materials and colors to the overall design are all studied

with the utmost care. The promise to make premium technologies and the best

products, services and equipment accessible to the greatest number of people is

enshrined in Hyundai's innovation strategy and its "Modern Premium" philosophy. This

means that Hyundai is able to guarantee the production quality of all of its vehicles for

five years with unlimited mileage.

The spirit of creative challenge

This has been one of the brand's driving forces as it develops its leading-edge engines.

For the second consecutive year, the Ward Auto World website has voted Hyundai's

Tau engine one of the top ten engines in the world. In Korea, the group has built an auto

design center to spearhead the development of even more original and innovative

designs. Hyundai also opened an eco-technological research institute to help

consolidate its eco-friendly technology. Not only will this institute provide the brand with

a development platform for all stages of the product life cycle – from design to product

retirement – it will also play a leading role in the future of the auto industry by inventing

the next generation of more eco-friendly cars.

2.4 Brief introductions about over all automobile industry in Uganda

LONDON—Uganda's government said it would hold talks with foreign auto makers in

the wake of protracted labor strikes that dented industry production and forced one of

them, BMW AG BMW.XE   -0.30%  , to rule out an expansion in the country.

BMW, which was unable to produce 13,000 automobiles as a result of recent strikes at

the German auto maker and components companies, said last week that Uganda was

passed over for a new vehicle line not yet announced. Executives said Uganda's

protracted labor turmoil had compromised its capacity to deliver cars on time.

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said in an interview the government had reached out

to BMW to see if Uganda can still play a part in the company's expansion plans. "We're

going to attempt to get that show back on the road," he said.

BMW Uganda spokesman Guy Kilfoil said the company would welcome such a meeting,

"but we don't think anything the minister of finance can do in the short term would

change the labor environment." Mr. Kilfoil said until there is a shift in the way new wage

deals are reached, the labor environment will remain "unstable."

BMW isn't the only auto maker to bear the brunt of Ugandan worker discontent. Ford

Motor Co. F   -0.30%  , General Motors Co. GM   -0.16%  and Toyota Motor Corp.7203.TO   -

1.24% have been hit by a double whammy of work stoppages—first at their own

companies and then at auto-component makers.

The strikes combined hobbled production for about seven weeks. On Sunday, car-parts

workers agreed to end their three-week strike in return for a 10% pay increase this year

Page 29: STEPLEED for automobile industry

and another 8% in each if the next two years. The union says workers make an average

of 3,500 rand ($350) a month.

In September, Uganda's vehicle exports plunged 75% from a year ago. The auto

industry as a whole was losing around $60 million a day during the strikes, according to

the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of Uganda, an industry group.

The finance minister's spokesman, Jabulani Sikhakhane, said the talks with BMW would

be part of a broader engagement with the industry. "We will be speaking to all

stakeholders," he said.

The intervention would mark the latest attempt on the part of the government to mediate

clashes between corporate Uganda and organized labor.

Deputy President Kgalema Mothlanthe is leading a team to broker three-way talks

between unions, mining companies and workers. Strikes in the mining sector have

crimped output from the country's platinum and gold mines. Union leaders on Monday

said workers will remain on strike at Anglo American Platinum Ltd. until the company

stops the employee dismissals under way as part of a cost-cutting program.

As it wades into the unrest, the government is balancing economic and political

considerations.

The government needs foreign investment to rev up anemic growth, create jobs and

generate tax revenue. But the ruling African National Congress also is counting on

political support from the unions to bring out voters for the 2014 national elections.

Ultimately, Mr. Gordhan said, it is up to business and unions to forge consensus.

"Essentially, government might set some parameters, but it's for those two key parties

[labor and business] to find an equilibrium," he said.

Chapter – 3

Automobile industry of India

Page 31: STEPLEED for automobile industry

3.1 Introduction

With the increasing growth in demand on back of rising income, expanding middle class

and young population base, in addition to a large pool of skilled manpower and growing

technology, will propel India to be among the world's top five auto-producers by 2015.

India is also one of the key markets for hybrid and electric medium-heavy-duty trucks

and buses.

India is an extremely important market for Hyundai. The Indian automobile sector is

poised for steady and strong growth in the future. The Indian automobile industry holds

good growth potential for the mid-term and long term horizon, as per Mr Bo Shin Seo,

MD and CEO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL).

Moreover, Ford Motor Co plans to convert India into global production centre for

compact cars, once its Sanand plant in Gujarat comes on stream in 2014, under a

project codenamed B562 that may induce three different compact cars from the same

platform.

The first car ran on India's roads in 1897. Until the 1930s, cars were imported directly,

but in very small numbers.

An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Hindustan was

launched in 1942, longtime competitor Premier in 1944. They

built GM and Fiat products respectively. Mahindra & Mahindra was established by two

brothers in 1945, and began assembly of Jeep CJ-3A utility vehicles. Following

the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launched

efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the

automobile industry. In 1953 an import substitution programmer was launched, and the

import of fully built-up cars began to be impeded.

The Hindustan Ambassador dominated India's automotive market from the 1960s until

the mid-80s

Page 32: STEPLEED for automobile industry

However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalisation

and the license raj which hampered the Indian private sector. Total restrictions for

import of vehicles was set and after 1970 the automotive industry started to grow, but

the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were

still a major luxury item. In the 1970s price controls were finally lifted, inserting a

competitive element into the automobile market. By the 1980s, the automobile market

was still dominated by Hindustan and Premier, who sold superannuated products in

fairly limited numbers. During the eighties, a few competitors began to arrive on the

scene.

The automotive industry in India is one of the larger markets in the world. It had

previously been one of the fastest growing globally, but is currently experiencing flat or

negative growth rates. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing

industry is the sixth largest in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.9

million units in 2011. According to recent reports, India overtook Brazil and became the

sixth largest passenger vehicle producer in the world (beating such old and new auto

makers as Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain, France,

Brazil), grew 16 to 18 per cent to sell around three million units in the course of 2011-

12. In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger cars, behind

Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. In 2010, India beat Thailand to become Asia's third

largest exporter of passenger cars.

As of 2010, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million

automotive vehicles were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making the

country the second (after China) fastest growing automobile market in the world in that

year. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, annual vehicle sales

are projected to increase to 4 million by 2015, no longer 5 million as previously

projected.

The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is based around three clusters in the

south, west and north. The southern cluster consisting ofChennai is the biggest with

35% of the revenue share. The western hub near Mumbai and Pune contributes to 33%

Page 33: STEPLEED for automobile industry

of the market and the northern cluster around the National Capital Region contributes

32%. Chennai, with the India operations

of Ford, Hyundai, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW, Hindustan

Motors, Daimler, Caparo, and PSA Peugeot Citroën is about to begin their operations

by 2014. Chennai accounts for 60% of the country's automotive

exports. Gurgaon and Manesar in Haryana form the northern cluster where the

country's largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is based. The Chakan corridor

near Pune, Maharashtra is the western cluster with companies like General

Motors, Volkswagen, Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors, Mercedes

Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar Cars, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants in the

area. Nashik has a major base of Mahindra & Mahindra with a UV assembly unit and an

Engine assembly unit. Aurangabad with Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen also forms part of

the western cluster. Another emerging cluster is in the state of Gujarat with

manufacturing facility of General Motors in Halol and further planned for Tata

Nano at their plant in Sanand. Ford, Maruti Suzuki and Peugeot-Citroen plants are also

set to come up in Gujarat. Kolkata with Hindustan

Motors,Noida with Honda and Bangalore with Toyota are some of the other automotive

manufacturing regions around the country.

In 2011, there were 3,695 factories producing automotive parts in all of India. The

average firm made US$6 million in annual revenue with profits close to US$400

thousand.

3.2 Key Statistics

The Indian automobile industry produced a total 1.69 million vehicles including

passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three wheelers and two wheelers in August

2013 as against 1.56 million in August 2012, registering a growth of 8.18 percent over

the same month last year.

Page 34: STEPLEED for automobile industry

The cumulative foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow into the Indian automobile industry

during April 2000 to July 2013 was recorded at US$ 8,932 million, amounting to 4.5 per

cent of the total FDI inflows (in terms of US$), as per data published by Department of

Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce.

The overall automobile exports grew by 2.03 per cent during April-August 2013.

Furthermore, the production of passenger vehicles in India was recorded at 3.23 million

in 2012-13 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13

per cent during 2012-2021, as per data published by Automotive Component

engine capacity) with CIF value more than US$ 40,000; from 60 per cent to 75

per cent on motorcycles with engine capacity of 800 cc or more and on yachts

and similar vessels from 10 per cent to 25 per cent

In addition, an increase in excise duty from 27 to 30 per cent has been allowed

for SUVs with engine capacity exceeding 1,500 cc, while excise duty was

Page 36: STEPLEED for automobile industry

decreased from 80 to 72 per cent, in case of SUVs registered solely to be used

for taxi purposes

An exemption from BCD on lithium ion automotive battery for manufacture of

lithium ion battery packs for supply to manufacturers of hybrid and electric

vehicles

The excise duty on chassis of diesel motor vehicles for transport of goods

reduced from 14 per cent to 13 per cent

The Government of India allows 100 per cent FDI in the automotive industry through

automatic route. The Government also plans to accelerate the supply of electric

vehicles over the next eight years. It is expected that there will be a demand for 5-7

million electricity-operated vehicles by 2020.

With special focus on exports of small cars, MUVs, two & three wheelers and auto

components; the automotive sector’s contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP)

is expected to double reaching a turnover worth US$ 145 billion in 2016, according to

the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016.

5. 1 Opportunity of Uganda

East Africa's automotive industry is getting busier as new vehicle brands enter the

regional market in anticipation for the economic boom resulting from economic

integration.

Data by consulting company Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) indicates that the

automotive industry in Kenya and by extension the East Africa has for long been

dominated by Toyota (East Africa) , Cooper Motors Corporation (CMC), General

Motors (GM), Simba Colt and DT Dobie.

But other vehicle brands are digging in, either establishing assembly plants here or

expanding their sales network across the economic community whose market is set

to expand with the independence of South Sudan, East Africa Community's planned

sixth member.

For example, South Korean auto maker Hyundai Motors on Wednesday announced

an investment in East Africa of up to 22 million U.S. dollars in the next three years

through its subsidiary Hyundai E.A. Holdings Ltd (HEA) to support Hyundai auto

sales in the regions and make it easier to access genuine Hyundai spare parts in the

region.

“Hyundai has been absent from East African roads for over a decade. But we

consider the region as a significant market and will be making strategic investments

to make Hyundai cars the leading models in the region,” said Sam Lee, its regional

Marketing Director.

The company opened its show room in Nairobi in January. Last week, the company

partnered with a Kenyan leasing company known as Vehicle and Equipment Leasing

Limited (Vaell) as part of its strategy to increase sales in East Africa.

Page 50: STEPLEED for automobile industry

“Our study of emerging trends in the East Africa auto market found that leasing is

the fastest growing new industry. As an aggressive new-car seller, we see it as an

enabler and are happy to announce partnership with local leasing company,” said

Lee.

China's vehicle manufacturer Foton Motor has also set eyes on the East Africa

market and is now building an assembly plant in Nairobi that will supply at least

10,000 units to the region, company officials said.

The new plant, which will give the company competitiveness because it means it will

avoid paying 25 per cent duty if it imported fully built units, will assemble prime

movers, light commercial trucks, tippers, buses, and pick-ups.

The company is currently in the process of recruiting dealers across the East Africa.

Availability of spare parts could be major win for the company because consumer

trends here indicate that buyers go for vehicles that they know they can buy spare

parts at the nearest town.

Earlier, India's Tata Motors said it will establish a USD 12.8 million bus assembly

plant in the coastal city of Mombasa to serve the East Africa market.

The company had said it planned to assemble up to 60 buses a month although it

was not clear if the assembly has started operations. Just like Foton, the intention is

to avoid the 25 per cent duty for the buses to be competitively priced.

Toyota is also another global automaker that announced last year it plans to

establish an assembly plant in Kenya to serve the East Africa market.

Martin Owour of the Advisory Center for Trade and Investment Policy said the race

to set up assembly plants in the country will result in lower priced vehicles because

of competition and avoidind the 25 per cent duty.

Page 51: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Price is a major issue in automotive industry in East Africa and is blamed for the

consumer preference to second hand vehicles that command 70 per cent of the

automotive market share in East Africa according to various studies. ”The new

assemblers are looking to use Kenya as the launching pad for entry into the regional

common market.

The fragmented economies of the five East African countries had discouraged the

auto dealers from setting up assembly plants, but the common market has made it

possible for the dealers to capture a region of more than 130 million residents,” said

Owour in an industry analysis report.

Kenya currently has three motor assemblers, Kenya Vehicle Manufacturer, the

Association of Vehicle Assemblers Limited of Mombasa and General Motors East

Africa.

The new assemblies will complement efforts by the East African Community (EAC)

to encourage setting up of automotive assembly plants.

EAC industrialization strategy for 2010-2030 has identified Numerical Machining

Complex (NMC), Kenya's state-owned company that once manufactured two

prototype vehicles known as Nyayo Pioneer, as a possible automotive assembly

hub. The company currently manufactures some vehicle spare parts.

5.2 Opportunity of India

India’s automobile sector has seen a consistent growth of 15% in the past five years.

Most of the top automobile manufacturers from across the world now see India as a

huge market, with immense scope for sector growth. Booming automotive industry

Chapter – 6Present scenario

Page 58: STEPLEED for automobile industry

India:

Indian automobile sector manufacture over 11 million vehicle and export about 1.5

million each year.

Dominant product of the industry is two wheeler with market share of 75%,

passenger car with market share about 16%, commercial and three wheeler is

about 9%.

About 91% of the vehicle sold are used by the house hold and only 9% for

commercial purpose.

Industry has a turnover of more than USD$35 billion, and provide direct and

indirect employment to over 13 million people.

Supply chain is same as followed in U.S and Europe.

Level of trade export is medium and import is low, however current scenario is

rapidly changing and both import and export are growing at same level.

Basis of the competition in the sector is high and industry is currently have laife

cycle stage of growth.

With rapidly growing middle class, all the advantage is yet to be leveraged in

India.

With high cost of production, development, limited access to the technology and

increasing competition, the barrier to the Indian automobile sector is also high.

As India has well developed tax structure and power to leavy tax is with

Government still moter vehicle manufacturer profitability has been increased over

last 5 years.

Major players like TATA, Maruti Suzuki have material costof about 80% but

recording profit after tax is about 6% to 11%.

Level of technology change in motor industry is high but the rate of change is

medium.

Currently India’s increasing per capita dispose income is expecting to grow to

105% by 2015 and growth in export is playing a major role in the rise and

competitiveness of the industry.

Page 59: STEPLEED for automobile industry

TATA motor is leading in commercial vehicle with market share of 64% and Maruti

Suzuki leading in passenger vehicle with market share of 46% and Hyundai motor

and Mahindra is focousing to make their footprint in this segment.

Heo Honda is having 41% of two wheeler market and sharing 26% with BAJAJ

auto, Bajaj auto itself is occupying about 58% market share in three wheeler

market.

The price of oil and petrol affect the driving habits of customer and type of car

they buy.

Having quality manpower, good infrastructure, capital efficiency is key factor to

success in Indian automobile industry.

Both government and industry are obligated to intervene in Indian automative

industry of India. The government should facilitate infrastructure creation, create

favourable and predictable business environment attract investment and promote

research and development.

Uganda:

Automobile industry in Uganda is small but long established market in country for

motor vehicle.

Vehicle is increasing with average percentage of 8%and make it continue for very

long term in sales.

parts, repairs and servicing.

Alll are Asian owned with family type of organization and hold the franchise for

more than 10 years.

Remaing dealership are manufactured owned, fiat selling cars and trucks while

leylend sells trucks and buses.

Excepting laylend and fiat other motor dealer in Uganda are locally financed in

that there is no capital investment by overseas manufacturer. Initiative an

obtaining the dealership usually also came from local firm.

All 15 dealers are based in kampala, although they have exclusive right to sell in

Uganda.

This amazing degree of centrality arise from severl factor that it has good road

and less geographical barrier.

Potential purchaser can therefore easily avail himself of opportunity of viewing the

widerange of market, models, variants in city showroom.

Uganda has not yet started any component production in country as whole import

is done from jinja and kampala, hub of automobile.

Current market for both cars and commercial vehicle is very small and significant

growth in near future is also limited.

Currently growing segment in industry is heavy trucks and and other machinery

vehicle as it has more operating work.

Government is currently making direct intervention in industry and possible other

government step to reduce volatility in market and also stared giving benefit to the

new enternts and players into the industry.

So if company started new palnt in Uganda than it is the situation and scenario

that company should make it in jinja and tororo.

Page 61: STEPLEED for automobile industry

For the present however motor industry of Uganda firmly rooted in kampala for

location factor which gives emphasis to the disproportion importance of the city as

afocous for commercial and industrial growth in developing countries.

Chapter – 7

Conclusion

Page 63: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Currently India is the hub of the automobile industry, as country consist of many

automobile companies in industry with sustainable market share for the segment in

which they are dealing.

Uganda is currently growing market for the automobile industry as Hyundai and

BMW are coming up with their own huge investment in Uganda.

East Africa's automotive industry is getting busier as new vehicle brands enter the

regional market in anticipation for the economic boom resulting from r integration.

Automotive industry in Uganda is highly dominated by Toyota, cooper motor, general

motor so Indian companies have long way to struggle in Uganda to establish their

own market in both sales and spare parts of the car.

From India TATA is the only company which has its own market in Uganda, TATA is

using Uganda market for its cheap labor cost and lower duty on export and taxation

benefit provided by Government of Uganda.

As Uganda is about to have growth in commercial vehicle and heavy trucks, TATA

has opportunity to grow in Uganda as TATA is leading company in India for the

heavy vehicle and trucks.

Uganda has grown significantly after the end of dictatorship of Idi Amin who made

restriction on entry of the foreign company and also has threatened of lves of the

official of the company working there in that era so it will lead to have more winding

of company.

In current situation new government has formed very liberal rule for the development

of the country and as India companies are performing extremely well in domestic

market and having cost leadership strategy, so it will lead to gain benefit in Uganda.

As Ugandan market is in competitive stage currently, so there is huge opportunity to

Gain advantage of market in Uganda as every company has equal chance to gain

market share.

So, from above all it has been concluded that though Uganda has geographical

barrier and little instability in government it is having huge potential to grow as

people is having hardworking approach towards work.

Page 64: STEPLEED for automobile industry

Chapter – 8

Recommendation

Page 65: STEPLEED for automobile industry

On the basis of above information following recommendation

are require:

If any of Indian company wants to start business in Uganda in automobile sector

than at first it requires to check political stability as East African countries are

highly political instable.

As east African countries are facing problem of poverty which leads to robbery of

goods, killing of officials for local unemployment, so company establishing unit in

Uganda and other east African countries must have to take safety action for the

official and other staff who is working over there.

Indian company is required to make or grab opportunity in heavy vehicle segment

in Uganda as country is having maximum demand of heavy segment vehicle and

trucks.

Indian company will face very tough competition from Hyundai, Sonata, BMW and

many other companies which are in market of Uganda from long period of time, so

Indian companies are required to make analysis of market and based on that they

are supposed to enter into market of automobile industry.

As geographical condition of the Uganda is very difficult company is required to

establish proper chain of supply for the spare parts of the motor car and other

required things for the industry.

Company should make spare parts in Uganda and make it assemble in India as

export duty is very less and labor are cheap in Uganda.

Living standard of people of Uganda and whole east Africa is low so it is benefited

for the Indian companies to start business over there for heavy vehicles, trucks and

commercial vehicle.
