Introduction In this new area of highly competitive world, Globalization led the market to be more competitive and innovative. As a reslt, there is greater demand for aggressive marketing in this sector. !he concept of sellers market has gradally shifted into byer"s market. #ew decades back a car was perceived to be l$ry good a treated as a stats symbol. %t we can observer the ma&or shift from this perception. 'ow days the car is considered as a necessity good. !hanks to competitive world, &ob re(irement, and changing trends. )ch consideration is given not only the price bt also to the )ileage, *esale service, rnning cost, and safety. As a reslt we see greater demand for diesel vehicles, and !A!A I'+I,A is fond to be more effective diesel vehicle in its segment. -tiff market competition copled with new and improved prodct line segments is the emerging trend. As a part of stdy crriclm for my %%), it is (ite appropriate to stdy the natre and (ality of service provided by a car manfactrer throgh varios dealer"s service stations. )y )arketing *esearch ob&ective is to find ot the reason ./hy there is less demand for petrol version of Indica and how the sales and its awareness can be increased0 Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga 1
Statement of the problem !A!A Indica is the first car manfactred /23445 %5 A' Indian firm. Initially after its lanch it had to face a lot of complaints and in #ebrary 2661 an improved version of the car was lanched as !A!A I'+I,A 72. !he petrol version of !A!A I'+I,A 72 89!A was introdced in :anary 266; in north <arnataka, especially in -himoga= Adishakti Atomobiles is the only +ealer of !A!A I'+I,A. !he petrol version of !A!A I'+I,A 72 89!A was nable to make a 'iche for itself. After the preliminary data collection and interaction with +ealers and ,stomers, we framed or -b>)arketing ?roblems to the above stated )arket *esearch ?roblem as@ ./hat is the impact of promotional activities on prchase of any Indica carA0 ./hat are the factors sed by cstomer while prchasing a carA0 ./hat is the impact (ality of prodct on the prchaseA0 ./hat is the impact of ?re and post prchase services offered to the ,stomersA0 ./hat is the effect of ?rice on the ?rchase decisionA0 Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga B
%y considering the above )arketing problem and sb>)arketing problems we carried ot market research work and tried to bring the best data by which we will able to arrive at conclsions regarding the above problems and to give few recommendations to tackle the problem. Purpose of the study !he main prpose of the stdy is to nderstand the perception of cstomers towards Indica 72 8eta which will help the company to make proper marketing strategy to render good services and satisfy the needs of the cstomers. !he stdy will help the company to make proper strategies and emphasize on their weaker areas. Scope of the study !he stdy will help the company to know the perception of cstomers. !he company can find ot the effectiveness of promotional activities done for Indica 72 8eta car. !he stdy will help the company to make proper marketing strategy for their weaker areas. Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga ;
!he stdy covers the cstomers of !ata )otors owning passenger cars in -himoga city. Objectives of the study !o know the perception of cstomers towards Indica 72 8eta car. !o know whether the cstomers are satisfied with the present featres of the car. #actors considered in selecting Indica 72 8eta car. !o know the effective sorces of awareness for the cstomers towards Indica 72 8eta car. !o know the effectiveness of promotional activities done for Indica 72 8eta car. !o seek sggestions and opinion from cstomers regarding the improvement of featres of Indica 72 8eta car. Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga C
Limitations of the study %ecase of time constraint, my stdy confines only to -himoga city and it is not possible to make e$tensive stdy. %y bsy schedle of the e$ectives it is difficlt to e$tract more information from them. Dnwillingness of car owners and drivers has left s to make random conclsions. Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga E

!A!A )otorsG focs has rightflly been centered on the diesel version of its small car the Indica 72. )ost of the cars it sells contine to be diesel powered, thogh petrol engine variants have also been available all along. !he technology for the IndicaGs petrol engine originally came from 4e )oto )odern of #rance, bt the engine has seen considerable refinement since. 5et, two factors mst have hampered higher sales volmes for the Indica and the Indigo petrol variants. !ata )otorsG relative lack of e$perience with petrol compared to other small>car manfactrers with established credentials in this segment, and the fact that the Rbig and powerflG tag is not necessarily a positive attribte for a petrol car in the e$cessively fel>efficiency conscios small>car segment. !he recently re>lanched petrol version, the Indica 89!A, cold fit the bill, as the changes to the carGs RheartG seem to be capable of offering better fel efficiency. AniJueness/ !he changes to the new Indica 72 89!A Hacronym for e$tra fel 9fficient, !or(e AdvantageI are really only in the engine department, thogh the new beige interior theme also does add a bit of a premim (ality to the car. !ata Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga 13
)otorsG reason for taking p the 1.1 liter petrol engine was clearly to improve its fel efficiency ranking. !he Indica 72Gs engine handicap came not &st from the fact that it was the biggest in the small>car segment. !he new 89!A engineGs improved refinement is easily recognizable. A redction in noise and vibration levels is a bons, coming with the changes that were primarily targeted at improving the engineGs fel efficiency. !he engineGs pistons and rings have also been re>engineered to redce the weight and width of the ring to achieve a lowering of friction, which will also enable a lowering of fel consmption in the long rn. In addition, a new two>part alminm oil smp and plastic timing covers have been incorporated to improve the 89!AGs '72 Hnoise, vibration and harshnessI packaging. #el efficiency of the new 89!A shold be better than its predecessor by p to 1B>26 per cent. 9$pect mileage nmbers of 16>12 kmpl in city driving conditions. !he new 89!A has the potential to change the IndicaGs image of being a gzzler. %t finish (ality and reliability will still be isses that !ata )otors will have to tackle to be considered e(al amongst the petrol> driven hatches in the market.
