Cars were still a major luxury. Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately
leading to the establishment of Maruti Udyog. A number of foreign firms initiated joint ventures

changes these days. This industry is slowly and gradually shifting towards Asian countries,
mainly because of saturation of automobile industry in the western world. The principal driving
markets for Asian automotive industry are China, India and ASEAN nations. Low cost vehicles
namely scooters, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles have led to the massive growth of some of
the fastest developing economies like China and India. The future of automotive industry in the
Asian countries such as Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia is bright and promising
because of the ASEAN free trade area under which the export tariffs are very less.
The future seems encouraging for this industry in terms of the expected
surge in global demand and upsurge in investments. Several trends such as over-capacity in

India.My TVS has good brand image. But in the Indian context the service of the station is not
doing very well & it¶s market share is also falling . According to my survey I conclude that in
southern India it is perfrming well. This research helps me to improve my hidden potential to
side it gives me a chance to understand different people¶s mindset and to gain some market
knowledge.
