Introduction

HISTORY
The beginnings of the Tata Group can be traced back to 1868, when Jamsetji
Nusserwanji Tata established a trading company dealing in Opium in Bombay
present it is calling as Mumbai. This was followed by the installation of Empress
Mills in Nagpur in 1877. Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay was opened for business in
1903. Sir Dorab Tata, the eldest son of Jamsetji became the chairman of the
group after his fathers death in 1904. Under him, the group ventured into steel
production (1905) and hydroelectric power generation(1910). After the death of
Dorab Tata in 1934, Nowroji Saklatwala headed the group till 1938. He was
succeeded by JRD Tata. The group expanded significantly under him with the
establishment of Tata Chemicals (1939), Tata Motors and Tata Industries (both
1945), Voltas (1954), Tata Tea (1962), Tata Consultancy Services (1968) and
Titan Industries (1984). Ratan Tata, the incumbent chairman of the group
succeeded JRD Tata in 1991.

Chapter-2
Company
Profile
HISTORY

Tata Motors launches its first truck in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz

Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata Sons. The
company was established in 1945 as a locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded
its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with
Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. Despite the success of its commercial vehicles, Tata
realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on
consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new
venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car.
Designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became an instant
hit in the Indian market. It was also exported to Europe namely the UK and Italy. Since
then it has never looked back. In 2004 it acquired Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle and
in late 2005 it acquired 21% Aragonese Hispano Carrocera giving it controlling rights of
the company. It has formed a Joint Venture with Marcopolo of Brazil and introduced low-
floor buses in the Indian Market. Recently it had acquired British Jaguar Land Rover
(JLR) business, which also includes Daimler and Lanchester brand names.

EXPANSION

After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered
the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle.
After the launch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate , Tata Sumo and Tata Safari . Tata
launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous passenger car of India. Though the
car was initially panned by auto-analysts, the car's excellent fuel economy, powerful
engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history
of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a
major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favourite. A
badge engineered version of the car was sold in the United Kingdom as the Rover
CityRover. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South
Africa.The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata Motors

Strategy

MARKET STRATEGY OF TATA MOTORS

A) Introduction of Tata Nano
The introduction of the Nano received media attention due to its targeted low price. The
Financial Times reported[: "If ever there were a symbol of India’s ambitions to become a
modern nation, it would surely be the Nano, the tiny car with the even tinier price-tag. The
car was envisioned by Ratan Tata , Chairman of the Tata Group and Tata Motors, who has
described it as an eco-friendly "people's car". Tata initially targeted the vehicle as "the
least expensive production car in the world"aiming for a starting price of 100,000 rupees.
Tata Group is expected to mass-manufacture the Nano, particularly the electric version,
and, besides selling them in India, to also export them worldwide

b) Modification in tata sumo

New Tata Sumo

The discontinuation of Qualis to launch the Toyota Innova proved advantageous to Tata
Sumo. The Sumo has seen a series of changes in terms of refinement in this decade. It has
been the favourite choice for cab owners, as it is rugged and affordable. The Tata Sumo
has been enjoying its position in the MUV market since 1994. It had stiff competition with
new Sumo Victa has been portrayed as a family lifestyle vehicle, but in fact is a carry over
of the old Sumo, with some cosmetic changes. The Sumo comes in nine Victa variants:-
CX 10/7 Str, DI CX 7/9/10 Str, DI EX 7/9 Str, DI GX 7/9 Str, DI LX 7/9 Str, EX 10/7Str,
GX 7 Str, GX TC 7 Str, and LX 10/7 Str. Tata's latest three variants under the 'Sumo
Grande' category are LX, EX and GX available in 2-seater, 7- seater and 8-seater
configurations. Sumo Grande boasts of a powerful 2.2- direct injection common rail
(DICOR) engine.

c) New version of indigo ,indigo Dicor

Dicor Variants
The DICOR (common rail diesel) version of Tata Indigo is available in two variants which
has already hit the bull's eyes. The beefy & bony structured sedan has the capacity to
deliver maximum torque of 140Nm @ 1800 - 3000 rpm. The Indigo Dicor from Tata
Motors has been made apt for Indian roads especially with its driver & co passengers
oriented positive attributes such as :
· Anti-submarine front seats
· New electronic instrument cluster with engine RPM meter
· Rear Seat with double folding backrest
· Video player with MP3: with headrest mounted LCD screens
· 1.4-litre as rail diesel engine

Indigo LX Dicor
Tata Indigo LX Dicor on the other hand features manually operated with chrome strip
outer rear view window, black dials with chrome rings & star check as the new pattern for
its console&ACfascia.

Indigo LS Dicor
Tata Indigo LS Dicor features manually operated outer rear view mirror, black dials, &
Benz silver as the new pattern for console & AC fascia. It has no mounted LCD screens.

d)Tapping of Rural Markets

According to the National Council for Applied Economic Research, or NCAER, rural
India accounts for 70% of India’s population, 56% of the national income, 64% of the
total expenditure and one-third of the total savings. So, the difficulties faced in cracking
these markets pale before the huge potential they offer a company. Of the total sales (of
consumer goods), around 55% come from rural India, and going ahead, the contribution is
likely to grow. NCAER data suggests that in real terms, at 1999 prices, the size of the
rural economy will be about Rs16 trillion in 2012-13 compared with Rs12 trillion in 2007-
08. The share of non-farm income will be about two-thirds of the rural economy by 2012-
13. Noticing this huge potential Tata motors now plans to tap the rural market, 60 per cent
of which runs on cash. Tata motors ltd. are working on strategies to make inroads into
these markets

HISTORY

The introduction of the Nano received media attention due to its targeted low price. The
Financial Times reported: "If ever there were a symbol of India’s ambitions to become a
modern nation, it would surely be the Nano, the tiny car with the even tinier price-tag. A
triumph of homegrown engineering, the $2,200 (€1,490, £1,186) Nano encapsulates the
dream of millions of Indians groping for a shot at urban prosperity." The car is expected to
boost the Indian economy, create entrepreneurial-opportunities across India, as well as
expand the Indian car market by 65%. The car was envisioned by Ratan Tata, Chairman of
the Tata Group and Tata Motors, who has described it as an eco-friendly "people's car".
Nano has been greatly appreciated by many sources and the media for its low-cost and
eco-friendly initiatives which include using compressed-air as fuel and an electric-version
(E-Nano). Tata Group is expected to mass-manufacture the Nano, particularly the electric-
version, and, besides selling them in India, to also export them worldwide.

Critics of the car have questioned its safety in India (where reportedly 90,000 people are
killed in road-accidents every year, and have also criticised the pollution that it would
cause. However, Tata Motors has promised that it would definitely release Nano's eco-
friendly models alongside the gasoline-model.

The Nano was originally to have been manufactured at a new factory in Singur, West
Bengal, but increasingly violent protests forced Tata to pull out October2008
Currently, Tata Motors is reportedly manufacturing Nano at its existing Pantnagar
(Uttarakhand) plant and a mother plant has been proposed for Sanand Gujarat. The
company will bank on existing dealer network for Nano initially. The new Nano Plant
could have a capacity of 500,000 units, compared to 300,000 for Singur. Gujarat has also
agreed to match all the incentives offered by West Bengal government.

Tata Nano -Dream of Ratan TATA

Can only Dhirubhai Ambani have "ek soch , Ek sapna, "? Has he and his sons have also
taken a patent on vision ... But jokes apart "Tata Nano" was a dream , a promise which
Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Group had made 5 years earlier but now have fulfilled it to
the utmost.

Rata Tata is a hero to a nation starved of heroes.

'A promise is a promise', said Ratan Tata unveiling the 'People's Car' on 9th January at the
Auto Expo in New Delhi.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony at Mr. Ratan N. Tata said, “I observed families riding
on two-wheelers – the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him,
his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. It led me to wonder whether one could
conceive of a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family. Tata
Motors’ engineers and designers gave their all for about four years to realise this goal.
Today, we indeed have a People’s Car, which is affordable and yet built to meet safety
requirements and emission norms, to be fuel efficient and low on emissions. We are happy
to present the People’s Car to India and we hope it brings the joy, pride and utility of
owning a car to many families who need personal mobility.”

But Ratan Tata has undoubtdly made India proud and himself both richer and proud by
inventing the "Tata Nano" popularly known as "Lakhtakia" He has no doubt given
common man an uncommon new year gift.

INTRODUCTION

Tata Nano is a rear-engined, four-passenger city car built by Tata Motors, aimed primarily
at the Indian market. The car has a fuel efficiency of around 26 kilometres per litre on the
highway and around 22 kilometres per litre in the city. It debuted at the 9th annual Auto
Expo on January 10, 2008, at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India. The Nano had its
commercial launch on March 23, 2009 and a booking period from April 9 to April 25,
generating more than 200,000 bookings for the car. The cars started to be delivered to
customers after July 17 2009, with a starting price of Rs 100,000, which is approximately
equal to US$2,160 as of December 2009 This is cheaper than the Maruti 800, its main
competitor and next cheapest Indian car priced at Rs 184,641 ($3,988 U.S.). Tata had
sought to produce the least expensive production car in the world — aiming for a starting
price of Rs 100,000 (approximately US$2,000 as of June 2009

"Nano" means "small" in Gujarati, the language of the founders of the Tata Group. "Nano"
from the SI prefix for one-billionth is derived from the Greek νᾶνος, meaning dwarf, and
is sometimes used to mean "small" in colloquial English

DESIGN

Ratan Tata, the Chairman of Tata Motors, began development of the world's cheapest
production car in 2003, inspired by the number of Indian families with two-wheeled rather
than four-wheeled vehicles. The Nano's development has been tempered by the company's
success in producing the low cost 4 wheeled Ace truck in May 2005.

Contrary to speculation that the car might be a simple four-wheeled auto rickshaw, The
Times of India reported the vehicle is "a properly designed and built car". The Chairman is
reported to have said, "It is not a car with plastic curtains or no roof — it's a real car."

To achieve its design goals, Tata refined the manufacturing process, emphasized
innovation and sought new design approaches from suppliers. The man behind the design
and engineering team is Girish Wagh. The car was designed at Italy's Institute of
Development in Automotive Engineering — with Ratan Tata requesting certain changes,
such as the elimination of one of two windscreen wipers. Many components of the Nano
are made in Germany by Bosch, such as fuel injection, brake system, Value Motronic
ECU, ABS and other technologies.
 MODEL VERSIONS OF TATA NANO

The Tata Nano offers an incredibly spacious passenger compartment which can
comfortably seat four adults. With a length of just 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and
height of 1.6 metres, the Tata Nano has the smallest exterior footprint for a car in India but
is 21% more spacious than the smallest car available today. A high seating position makes
ingress and egress easy. Its small size coupled with a turning radius of just 4 metres,
makes it extremely manoeuvrable in the smallest of parking slots.

EXPECTATIONS
“India as well as other European nations, have great
expectations from the Nano and are keenly awaiting it,
especially the electric version of the Nano, making it in all
probability the "world's cheapest electric car" officially on
record. The car itself is expected to boost the Indian Economy
as well as expand the Indian car market by 65%. The Nano,
already in production, has already been listed in the Guinness
Book of World Records as the world's cheapest car.”
POSITION OF TATA NANO

Tata Nano will position itself as the world cheapest car and yet does not compromise the
quality, safety and environment. This positioning will be achieved by leveraging Tata
Nano’s competitive edge: industries experience from the parent company Tata Motor who
has been in vehicles industries (commercial, passengers & utilities) since 1945. Tata
motor has good suppliermanufacturer relationship with more than 100 components

Rival car makers including Bajaj Auto, Fiat, General Motors, Ford Motor, Hyundai
and Toyota Motor have all expressed interest in building small cars in India that
are affordable to more middle-class consumers in emerging markets. The bulk of
demand there is for small cars because people are much more sensitive to fuel
prices.

Honda and Toyota are leading the way on so called cleaner gasoline-electric hybrids,
and some environmentalists argue getting prices down on these technologies is
where efforts should be concentrated. Inexpensive and eco-friendly electric-cars
like Tara Tiny (which has an engine producing 4 hp compared to Nano's 33 hp),
Oreva Super (both reportedly even cheaper than Tata Nano) and REVA pose even
more significant danger to Nano. There are also rumors of Maruti Suzuki
introducing a lower priced version of Alto to counter Tata Nano.

REACTION ABOUT TATA NANO

• "It's a good historic moment for the Indian auto industry and also a proud one indeed that
an Indian company took a step forward on this road. Its an upgradation for an auto wheeler
rider to buy a car now.“
RAJESH JEJURIKAR, MANAGING DIRECTOR, MAHINDRA AND
RENAULT'S.

• "It's good product but it's still too early to say whether it will overtake the 800 because it
caters to a totally new market segment.”

Said Jagdish Khattar, Former MD of Maruti Udyog Limited

"Meeting the proper quality standards and safety is not feasible at all in such a model.

Andreas Prinz, Managing Director (Passenger Cars), Volkswagen Group Sales India.

"I think it is a great thing for India because mobility is giving new opportunities. I hope
Tata drives to great success with the Rs one lakh car, but it is not included in our plan.“

• Thomas Kuehl, Board Member, Skoda Auto India

UPCOMING VARIANTS OF TATA NANO

Nano Europa

Besides the regular and conventional petrol-variant, the following variants are also
expected:

Diesel

It has reported that the Tata Nano might be made available with a 690cc diesel engine by
September 2010. Tata motors have not confirmed this yet have hinted that a diesel version
will be introduced in the future. "As of now the Diesel variant is not offered. It will be
offered only in Petrol now"

Compressed-air engine

Tata Motors is working with a French firm on using compressed air as an energy source.
The company has tied up with Moteur Development International (MDI) for this purpose.

Electric drive train or electric-version

Tata is also believed to be making an electric version of the Nano, called the E-Nano
which might well turn out to be the "world's cheapest electric car" which is more eco-
friendly and has many enthusiasts and media for its support.It's supposed to be as cheap as
the conventional gasoline version. Tata is making the Nano compliant with export market
regulations and plans to export such a car worldwide, particularly to the UK and the rest of
continental Europe, the US, and According to the Hamburg-based newspaper, Auto Bild,
the E-Nano would be built in cooperation with the Norwegian electric car specialist,
Miljøbil Grenland AS.

Hybrid

Leftlanenews reported that "a hybrid version is also likely, although it is not yet known
whether the electric motor will be paired with a gasoline or diesel version."

Nano Europa

Tata Motors unveiled a version of the Nano mini-car called the Nano Europa at the 2009
Geneva Motor Show. The car will be coming to mainland Europe and the UK and will
have a number of improvements over the standard Nano. The Nano Europa has an
increased wheelbase, a new 3-cylinder engine and improved interiors and exteriors. The
Nano Europa will be more expensive, heavier, and less fuel economical than the standard
Nano with prices said to be around the US$ 6000 mark. The Nano Europa was heavily
modified to meet European safety and emission standards.

Introduction
To Marketing

INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING
CONCEPT OF MARKET AND MARKETING

The concept of markets brings us full circle to the concept of marketing.marketing is

perhaps the most complex and challenging function performed by every business firm.The
term marketing is a very comprehensive one . Marketing starts well before production
commences and ends only after rendering after-sale satisfaction.It is the set of those
activities necessary and incidential to a way that a dose of money put in brings back
maximum return.
The American marketing association has defined marketing as, “the performance of
business activities that direct the flow of goods and services from producer to consumer
and user.”
But this definition has certain limitations.It does not cover all the functions of marketing
in the present society.It merely concentrates on the physical flow of goods from the center
of production to the centre of consumption.Today the consumer is the king of the
market.But the definition given by AMA does not say anythingabout the consumer’s
needs and desire or about consumer satisfaction.
This is thus a product oriented or sales oriented definitions and is fit for a seller’s
market.In the modern marketing concept,marketing has a very important role to
play.Nowdays marketing plays an important role in product planning and demand
forecasting

MARKET POTENTIAL
In estimating the size of a market for a new product we may have the following steps to be
taken in sequence:
1. Define the market population:
The market is defined by laying down regional limits and by demographic features of
buyers ,example–age,sex,income,occupation,etc.in the the consumer goods market.
2. Etimate of consumption units:
In each market segment we have to count the number of buyers.

3.Estimate of purchasing power of buyers:

National income data can give per capita income figures,disposable income
figures,ability to spend assumes great importance in case of durable and costly
consumer goods such as Car,refrigerator,T.V, V.C.R ,A.C, electrical
appliances,microwave,cooking system etc.

4.Estimate of willingness to spend as a function of planned marketing

effort:
Will or inclination to spend is governed by psychological factors of buyers such as
buying motives and preferences as well as the influence of marketing effort made to
stimulate the buyer’s mind in favor of purchase decision.

5.Estimate of the rates of purchase and product usage:

Ability to purchase and expected marketing effort will give us the idea about heavy
and medium or light users as well as big customers who demand special attention.

6.Total market potential:

We can multiply the estimated number of consuming units by the rate of purchase and
product usage and the sum total is the total market potential
MARKET SEGMENTATION
Market segmentation is the process in marketing of dividing a marketinto distinct
subsets(segments) that behave in the same way or have similar needs.Because each
segment is fairly homogeneous in their needs and attitudes,they are likely to respond
similarly to a given marketing strategy.That is,they are likely to have similar feelings and
ideas about a marketing mix comprised of a given product or service,sold at a given
price,distributed in a certain way,and promoted in a certain way.

Improved segmentation can lead to significantly improved marketing effectiveness.With

the right segmentation,the right lists can be purchased,advertising results can be improved
and customer satisfaction can be increased.

The requirements for successful segmentation are :-

Homogeneity within the segment.

Heterogeneity between segments.

Segments are measurable and identifiable.

Segmens are accessible and actionable.

Segments are large enough to be profitable.

THE VARIABLES USED FOR SEGMENTATION

INCLUDE:
GEOGRAPHIC VARIABLES

Region of the world or country,East,West,North,Central,Coastal,Hilly,etc.

Country size/country size: metropolitan cities,small cities,towns,density of area urban

,semi–urban,rural.Climate hot,cold humid,rainy.

DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES

INDIAN AUTO- MARKET FOOT PRINT
MARKET FOCUSES FOR DIFFERENT PRODUCTS

Here the firms select a number of segments,each objectively attractive and

appropriate.There may be little or no synergy among the segments,but each segment
promise to be a moneymaker.The multisegment coverage strategy has the advantage of
diversifying the firms risk.It is also known as differentiated strategy.

MARKET:-1 Tata motors Jaguar Land Rover(JLR) Tata motors,which is driving in

Jaguar and Land Rover brands in India on june 28,will setup exclusive showrooms in
smaller towns as part of an Jaguar XF,India-specific marketing and distribution strategy

India-friendly,company officials said.Almost the entire Land Rover range of luxury utility
vechiles,including the Range Rover and Range Rover sport as well as the mid-sized
SUVLR Discovery 3,will make their way to India.

MARKET:-2 INDICA V2 Incorporating the attributes of three best selling cars,Tata

Indica has made its own mark in the fierce market of motor segment.Making of Tata
Indica car with the concept of main distinguishing features of three popular cars.Its fully
foldable rear seat has made this car more accommodating for extra luggage For safe and

 Chapter-11
Suggestions and
Conclusions

SUGGESTIONS
 1. Tata should increase the production of NANO so that customers don’t have to wait
much for their car, as they feel urgency for NANO.
2. As people believes that NANO is people’s car, and will be affordable by common
men which was a dream earlier for them. So the price should be kept stable in
future with the increase in price of raw material. Otherwise it will be out of their
reach and people believe in Mr. Ratan Tata’s statement of- “Promise is a promise”.
3. Tata should give exchange offer against a two/four wheeler so that those
consumers can be easily converted to NANO users.
4. Safety measures can be enhanced, because people consider it as their prime
concern while purchasing.
5. An option for customization should be available.

CONCLUSIONS
MY OPINION

After the study of various aspects I found that

– Nano Car Is Not For :-

♠ Someone looking for better performance

♠ Someone who is looking to impress

♠ Someone who want to speed trial on Sunday

♠ Someone who is looking for long drives

But Nano Car Is For –

♠ Someone who is looking to buy a car but cannot afford

much price.

♠ A students who want to go college, tuition instead of

bike etc.

♠ Someone who depends on second hand car.

♠ For a house wife who can buy a car with her own

♠ savings.

♠ Someone who depends on scooter.

♠ So Nano is not a basically a luxury cars but it

can fulfilled the all capacity for middle class people.
