Executive Summary

KIRLOSKAR OIL ENGINES LTD. (KOEL) is acknowledged leader in Engines, Engine Bearings, and Engine Valves & Diesel Generating Sets. These engines are the preferred choice when it comes to powering Agricultural Machinery, Construction & Material Handling Machinery, Marine applications & equipment used by Armed Forces.

The Diesel Generating Sets in the range 5kVa to 6 MW are preferred by the industry at large, households & the service sector comprising of banks, telecommunication establishments, commercial buildings, hotels & restaurants. KOEL also offer generating sets over 1 MW that run on Heavy Fuel Oils.

The company only manufactures the engine for the generator. Then they send it to the AGOEM’s (Authorized genset Original Equipments Manufacturer) for final process. They cover it by a canopy for being sound proof & attach the logo”KIRLOSKAR GREEN” with the generator.

Today in Pune many new buildings are being made for both Commercial & residential purpose. For that the building contractors help to make a building. These building contractors also help hospitals, shopping malls, complexes, apartments & hotels to make a good building with all the amenities.

As there is fiery competition between generator manufacturers, role of builder become vital.

Hence we decided to do a Survey on building contractors in pune which help company to know pros & cons for their product & also lead me to direct interact with customer.

This project helps me to understand & analyze available product’s strength & weaknesses, different competitors, behaviour of customer & vital experience to communicate with people. The sample was selected of them who are the customers/visitors of Kirloskar Green DG Set. It was also collected through personal visits to persons, by formal and informal talks and through filling up the questionnaire prepared. The data has been analyzed by using mathematical & statistical tools. The sample size of my project was limited to 120 people only. Out of which only 70 people had invested in Kirloskar Green. Other 50 people did not have invested in Kirloskar Green.

After conducting this survey on building contractors, I come to the conclusion that, company has huge potential in pune region & it can capture major share by providing excellent after sales service.

In the end I would say that in future the differentiating factors would be the quality of service & convenience in term of ease of use. KOEL need to focus on the speed & delivery of the serviceability part more & ease of use.

1. INTRODUCTION

PROFILE OF COMPANY

Kirloskar Oil Engines limited

It has now been more than a century since the Kirloskar story started. We started with an

aim of becoming the pioneers in fields in which our country needed innovation. In the 100 years

and more that we have been in existence as a family and as an organization, we've been seminal to

Indian agricultural and industrial development. We gave India its first iron plough, pump and

engine; inventions that were devised from the need of the hour and went on to become signs of

the time. Which is why our group history can in many ways can be considered a history of the

economic and industrial revolution in India.

The first Kirloskar Group Company

Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) - the first Kirloskar venture at Kirloskarvadi was to become

the base for all of the Kirloskar Group’s subsequent enterprises. It began as the only Indian

company with its own standard products - the fodder cutter and the iron plough, which competed

with the British products.

KBL also manufactured groundnut shellers, sugarcane crushers and pumps, which were to usher

in a new economic order in the Indian industry. To power these machines, diesel engines, coal gas

generators and electric motors were developed at Kirloskarvadi.

In a display of great versatility, KBL then shifted its focus to fluid handling and control. As

India's largest manufacturer of pumps and valves, and also the group's flagship company, KBL

lends its strength and expertise to every new venture of the Kirloskar Group.

Playing a part in the War

The intensified boycott of the British goods and the approaching World War threatened to

stop imports of machine tools into India. The Kirloskar, with characteristic foresight began

making machine tools. This paradigm shift of sorts, from farm implements to machine tools,

created a new company - The Mysore Kirloskar Limited. This company, situated in Harihar,

benefited greatly from the patronage of yet another Raja - the Maharaja of Mysore. In the first

month of production, Mysore Kirloskar sold all of manufactured seven lathes.

SURYADATTA INSTITUTE OF MGMT. & MASS COMMUNICATION, PUNE 9

The new generation -Innovation, creation, tradition f rom colonialism to

independence

An important change for the country and for one of its premier industrial houses was the

Kirloskar Group. The altered political climate of the 1940s heralded the end of the princely

patronage for enterprise. The policy shifts and changes in authority were the order of the day.

This marked a turning point for the group.

Shantanurao Kirloskar, the eldest son of the founder travelled to Pune to initiate a

new aspect of the group's activities - diesel engines. His experience of trying to

secure the land for his factory in Pune was quite different from his father's in

Kirloskarvadi. There was no benevolent ruler here to bestow acres gratis.

Shantanurao had to face the tangle of red tape and public resistance to acquisition

of land for industrial purposes.

Finally, after arguing that factories have a longer life than human beings Shantanurao Kirloskar

won a place for Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. (KOEL), twelve months after signing an agreement of

collaboration with Associated British Oil Engines Export Ltd. of UK.

This collaboration, incidentally, was the first of its kind between an Indian and a foreign

company, and signified a bridging of the technological gap between east and west.

The KOEL factory was incorporated in 1946, and soon after that gave India her first

vertical high-speed engine. Brijlal Sarda, who reported its satisfactory running for over 4 decades,

bought this first engine!


A new direction - services

The phenomenal success of the Kirloskar name prompted entrepreneurs and businessmen

of the time to approach the group for guidance and expertise. This gave birth to the concept of

formalized engineering consultancy and a new company - Kirloskar Consultants Limited (KCL)

in 1963. Marking an extension of the group's repertoire from manufacturing to services, KCL, in

its 25 years of operation, has contributed to critical areas such as defence, irrigation, roads and

environment. This paradigm shift saw the setting up of yet another service company - Pune

Industrial Hotels Limited in 1964, the Kirloskar Group's first foray into hospitality. This company

set up Hotel Blue Diamond in Pune and began to manage Hotel Pearl in Kolhapur. The Baker's

Basket confectionery chain and the Hotel and Catering Consultancy Services (HOCON) were also

set up.

The dawn of a new millennium

To meet the changing demands of a global business environment and emerging

economic trends, the Kirloskar Group has refocused and restructured its direction by

concentrating on its core segment of agriculture, water supply, power, and air conditioning.

By consciously opting out of hospitality, advertising and unreal services, the Group has

channeled its potential in these core sectors.

The Group aims at unlocking the strength and value in the Kirloskar brand and

distribution to enhance returns for its stakeholders. It has identified and is implementing

processes that would bring greater customer focus and competitiveness. Today, the Kirloskar

Group is a conglomerate with interests across a diverse range of industries. It is still spurred

by the simple yet profound ethic born with Laxmanrao Kirloskar.


HISTORY

Kirloskar oil Engines limited was formed in 1946 by late Mr. Shantanurao Kirloskar .He

KOEL Objectives


16

Kagal Project should be financially viable without considering the incentive benefits.

To recover 100% Fixed Capital Investment at Kagal within shortest possible period in

terms of VAT refund (recovered on Sales and paid to GOM) from GOM. This is critical in

view of KOEL’s > 90% sales being out of Maharashtra and also because of proposed CST

phase out plan of the Government.

Any restructuring by KOEL should not be perceived as a device for solely availing

incentive benefits from GOM.

While achieving above, follow Corporate Governance guidelines and keep intact the

image and reputation of KOEL.

Restructuring, if any, should be long term. Restructured Company should be a going

concern. Its existence shouldn’t end after availing of incentive from GOM.Restructuring

should be logical, justifiable and should achieve long-term business objectives. e.g.

creation of customer centric organization focusing on sales and servicing of products.

Price to the ultimate customer should remain the same. Creation of separate

manufacturing/sales & services Company entails additional overheads, which should be

offset by increased

Vision 2012
