Company Overview
Voltas Limited is a Public Limited Rs 2500 Crore multi divisional company, engaged in the
air conditioning and engineering business. It was incorporated on 6th September 1954. Tata
Sons Ltd and Volkart Brothers, a Swiss Company operating in India since1851, promoted
this company and hence the name VOLTAS. Voltas, A Tata Group Company is India's
premier air conditioning and engineering services provider. It provides engineering solutions
for a wide spectrum of industries in areas such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning,

for 'manufacture only' alliances producing low cost, high quality refrigerators and room air
conditioners. The companys promoters, Tata Sons hold around 28 per cent of the shares inthe company. Foreign investors and the public hold around 21 per cent share each, while
domestic financial institutions and non-promoter corporates hold the balance. Voltas has
recently gone through a comprehensive restructuring exercise, aimed at bringing the core to
the fore. This exercise, conducted between 1997-1998 and 2001-2002, comprised of
redefining the business focus of Voltas as being an engineering services company.

heat it is only an air conditioner that can give you some respite and make you livelier and
energetic. Earlier buying an air conditioner was not easy.
It was very costly and middle class families can't afford
but now purchasing an air conditioner in India is no more
tough and expensive. There are various companies
offering air conditioner like LG, Hitachi, Samsung,
Onida, Godrej, Sanyo, Cerrier, Bluestar, Voltas, Amtrex,
OGeneral etc. These companies have various offices all
over India. They have their own store and shops selling
air conditioner of all types.
Air conditioner comes in various sizes and shapes. Some air conditioner does not even look
like an air conditioner especially ones offered by LG. Their surfaces are too good looking and
look like a beautiful scenery. There are room air conditioners, split air conditioners, car air
conditioners, ductless air conditioners, air ceiling conditioner mount system etc.
Types of Air Conditioners offered by Voltas:
Now when we talk of air conditioners, there are a number of makes and models available in
the market. So as to say that there is a variety of sizes and types of ACs available for cooling
rooms of different sizes. And in order to choose the perfect air conditioner for your room it is
always advisable to have some extra knowledge about the types of AC and their purpose as to
which one is best for what kind of room. With the variety of air conditioners available in the
market, it is very difficult to choose the most suitable AC for our home or office. And if we
dont have a clue about air conditioner then it adds to our own disadvantage. There are
mainly five types of air conditioner:
1) Window mounted:
These are air conditioners that are usually fixed through the windows, which have been
designed typically for double hung windows. And it is one of the most commonly used air
conditioners as this is best for cooling a single room for the simple reason that these are easy
to install, cheaper and works with almost all the wiring system of your home. The price range
varies from Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 27, 000on an average for room size the range varies from 10
meter square - 84 meter square.

2) Split Air conditioner:
This type of air conditioner is best suited for rooms whose area is up to 60 meter square and
might cost you (approx.) around Rs.16,000 to Rs.35,000 on an average (multi-split system).
A split air conditioner consists of two parts: the indoor unit which is also called as the
evaporator unit and the outdoor unit which is known as the external condenser box and is
installed outside the room or the building. And this is one main reason why most people opt
for split ACs, as during the operation, it doesnt make any noise which might distract your
attention or annoy you. Split ACs are permanent systems which can either be installed at the
floor level or on the walls or on the ceiling. However, it can be very noisy and may create
nuisance for your neighbors.
3) Cassette Air Conditioner:
These are air conditioners that are usually fixed into the
sealing. This ultra-thin air conditioner can be installed in
any narrow ceiling. These are usually fit in places where
it is not possible to fit either a Window or Split Air
conditioner. The price range varies from Rs. 68,500 to Rs.
86,500on an average.
4) Slimline Air Conditioner:
This type of air conditioner has been one of the most popular
types for certain reasons. One major reason is that they can
be easily moved from one room to the other and is often
referred to as a mobile air conditioner. Being portable, it is
easier to store when the summer season wears off. It is best
suited for smaller rooms and for those people who movestheir houses very frequently. The only minus point is that
they are quite expensive and the exhaust tube needs to be
fitted each time. It has a separate indoor and outdoor
section. It is recommended for rooms whose area is up to
35 meter square.

5) Ductable Split Air Conditioners:
Ductable air conditioners are those that are used to
condition more than one room, in the same building.
These kind of air conditioners are usually seen in
institutions, big organizations, hotels etc. Ductables comes
indifferent tonnages depending upon the space needed to
be cooled. The prices of Ductable vary depending upon
the tonnage. Out of all the above mentioned air conditions
the maximum selling would be the Split air conditioners .Though window a/c will cost less
and is easier to install. The downside is you will lose your view through the window and you
will have more air leakage than a split unit. A window unit will be less efficient than the split
also a slit a/c is much quieter than a window a/c. The split unit will add more value to the
home and will be quieter.

Major Marketing Moves
Growth in market share has resulted from a combination of factors. The primary drivers of
growth have been revamped distribution, an augmented model mix, consumer-centric brand
positioning and a dedicated result-oriented team.
Meticulous market mapping of AC distribution resulted in extensive nationwide coverage.
Our retail footprint has grown significantly in the past 4-5 years, from over 1000 consumer
touch points to more than 5800 today.
A strategic shift from traditional sales and service dealers to a more penetrative retail
aggregation model based on direct dealers and distributors helped multiply sales by opening
up new opportunities.
Voltas pioneered the concept of energy-efficiency in air conditioners, later an industry norm.
This paid dividends in terms of sales. The recent introduction of all-weather ACs was also a
-

strong demonstration of our product differentiation capabilities and brought in a significantly
larger number of customer queries at points of sale.
In terms of brand positioning, Voltas has changed in response to the ever-changing consumer
landscape. In the mid-2000s, with the advent of international brands, Voltas pitched itself as
India-centric. Advertising and promotional campaigns focused on India ka dil, India ka
AC, to convey pride in being andbuying Indian, giving the brand an identity to which the
emerging AC market in India could easily relate.
This was followed by a more tangible hook of energy efficiency. The Save karo India
campaign was an instant hit with our target market, highlighting the brand's premium offering
of star-rated ACs and low operating costs.
When savings and energy-efficiency became an industry-wide platform in the late 2000s,
Voltas introduced the concept of responsible usage of ACs as embodied by sensible
cooling.
The recent 2012 summer campaign of an all-weather AC was introduced after extensive
research revealed that consumers across the country wanted their ACs to do much more thanmere cooling. In response, Voltas introduced the unique concept of climate control,
combining it with the brands established strength of being trustworthy.
The campaign injected novelty into a somewhat predictable category, and Voltas seized not
only market share, but also consumer mind-share, with over 90 percent brand recall.

How did Voltas drive its sales up?
AC sales for the last five years were driven primarily by offering a best-in-class value
proposition to the customer. Research revealed that sales growth was inversely proportional
to the cost of AC usage. Accordingly, we launched Indias first energy-efficient AC, which
made the cost affordable, well before it became a norm. Advertising raised public awareness
of energy depletion and savings thereon. In FY-12, Voltas sold the maximum number of 5-
star rated ACs in the domestic market.
Voltas further developed and introduced a wide mix of products with a range of right
pricing options. Aggressive promotion and an expanded distribution network popularised the
range, especially in tier II & III markets.
