WHY MARUTI SUZUKI

The Quality Advantage

A car is an engineering product, only as good as the

technology used to make it. Actual users of our technology are

saying something very clearly Maruti Suzuki is No.1 in quality:

Maruti Suzuki owners experience fewer problems with their

vehicles than any other can manufacturer in India (J.D. Power IQS

Study 2004). The Alto was chosen No.1 in the premium compact

car segment and the Esteem in the entry level mid-size car

segment across 9 parameters.

Page 11: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

In May 1995, Maruti got ISO 9002 certification. The audit for

this covered quality assurance in production, installation,

marketing and sales as well as after sales services. We were also

one of the first companies in the world to pioneer ISO 9000

certification for our dealers.

In October 1993, MUL passed the Conformity Of Production

(COP) Audit, which is based on a European Union Directive.

This authenticated our quality systems and testing facilities for

export to Europe.

TARGET MARKETING

Target Marketing involves breaking a market into segments and then concentrating your marketing efforts on one or a few key segments.

The beauty of target marketing is that it makes the promotion, pricing and distribution of your products and/or services easier and more cost-effective. Target marketing is the selection of customers you wish to service. The decisions involved in it are

Which segments to target How many products to offer

Which products to offer in which segments

There are three steps to targeting:

Market segmentation Target choice

Product positioning

One of the first things you need to do is to refine your product or service so that you are NOT trying to be 'all things to all people’.

Next, you need to understand that people purchase products or services for three basic reasons:

To satisfy basic needs. To solve problems. To make themselves feel good.

Page 13: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

The next step in creating an effective marketing strategy is to zero

in on your target market.

Target marketing is one of corporate America's most effective business strategies. The idea is to increase sales by first identifying, and then targeting smaller, yet more profitable customer groups within the total market.

Four Ways to Identify Target Markets

1. Geographic: The location, size of the area, density, and climate zone of your customers.

2. Demographics: The age, gender, income, family composition and size, occupation, and education of your customers.

3. Psychographics: The general personality, behavior, life-style, rate of use, repetition of need, benefits sought, and loyalty characteristics of your customers.

4. Behaviors: The needs they seek to fulfill, the level of knowledge, information sources, attitude, use or response to a product of your customers.

One of the best ways to identify your target market is to look at your existing customer base. Who are your ideal clients? What do they have in common? If you do not have an existing customer base, or if you are targeting a completely new audience, speculate on who they might be, based on their needs and the benefits they will receive. Investigate competitors or similar businesses in other markets to gain insight.

Ground clearance 160 mm PRICES OF MARUTI PRODUCTS

Car market leader Maruti Udyog Limited has announced a marginal

increase in price of certain models. The increase, which comes into

effect from today, varies from 0.17 percent to 1.47 percent.

The price increase is due to rise in input costs and freight

costs, which increased following the rise in oil prices. In

this phase, the company has decided to pass on only a part

of the increase in costs to the customers. There is no

change in the prices of Swift, Zen, Baleno (Vxi) and

WagonR (Petrol).

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

MUL believes that they are well positioned to maintain and

enhance their leadership position in the small car segment in India,

while continuing to offer products in most segments of the Indian

market, on account of their competitive strengths, which include

the following:

Expertise in small car technology: As a subsidiary of

Suzuki, they have access to globally respected technology in

the small car segment. They have the advantage of Suzuki’s

expertise in all aspects of small car technology and design,

with respect to their products, their manufacturing processes

and business practices, the development of their supply chain

and the training of their personnel.

Extensive product portfolio: Their diverse product range

includes cars in segments A, B and C, and utility vehicles. They

manufactured five out of the ten models that were sold in the

combined A and B segments in India in fiscal 2002. They are

the only manufacturer of cars in segment A (priced below

Rs.300,000) where they have two models, the Maruti 800 and

the Omni. The Maruti 800 has been the largest selling car in

India for several years, and continued to have the highest

sales volumes of any model, with a market share of 25.3%. The

Page 25: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

Omni, a versatile vehicle that can seat more passengers than

the Maruti 800 or be used as an ambulance or cargo vehicle,

had a market share of 10.5% in fiscal 2002. They are also the

only manufacturer to sell three distinct models, the Zen, the

Alto and the Wagon R, in segment B (priced between

Rs.300,000 and Rs.500,000). They believe that their

dominance in segment A and extensive product range in

segment B enables us to offer the customer a wider choice in

the small car segment than any of their competitors. In

addition, the absence of other manufacturers in segments A

gives their dealers greater flexibility in promoting models in

segment B.

Quality products: In November 2001, they were one of the

first automobile manufacturers in the world to receive the ISO

9001:2000 certification. They began to export products in

1988, primarily in order to benchmark our products against

international quality standards. They have exported products

to approximately 70 countries, including countries in Western

Europe. Their products for export are manufactured using the

same assembly line as our products for the domestic market.

Extensive sales and service network: They believe that

they have the largest network of dealers and service centers

amongst car manufacturers in India. As of March 31, 2003, we

had 178 authorized dealers with 243 sales outlets in 161 cities.

Page 26: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

They estimate their car parc to be in excess of 3.5 million

vehicles. To service this car parc, at March31, 2003, they had

342 dealer workshops and 1,545 Maruti Authorized Service

Stations, or MASSs, which covered 898 cities in India backed

by Express Service Centers on 30 highways across the country.

In addition to the distribution of their cars, their dealership

network is a critical resource in our efforts to provide

customers with a “one-stop shop” for automobiles and

automobile related products and services such as automobile

finance, automobile insurance, Maruti-certified pre-owned cars

available for purchase, and leasing and fleet management, in

order to promote customer loyalty.

B USINESS S TRATEGY

They intend to continue to focus on the small car segment, while offering products in most segments of the Indian passenger car market. They aim to achieve their principal objectives by pursuing the following business strategies:

Maintain and enhance their product range: They intend to utilize Suzuki’s expertise in small car technology to produce new variants of their existing models and to upgrade their products with contemporary technology and features.

Increase reach and penetration: They plan to continue to utilize their extensive sales and service network to increase the reach, in terms of geographical spread, and penetration, in terms of sales volumes, of their products across India.

Page 27: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

Increased availability of automobile finance: They continue to seek opportunities to expand the size of the Indian passenger car market, especially in the small car segment, through facilitating easy availability of automobile finance. To that end, they have recently entered into an agreement with the State Bank of India.

.

Continue to reduce costs to offer more competitive products:

Cost competitiveness has been, and continues to be, central to their strategy as the leading manufacturer in the small car segment to expand the size of the market by offering competitively priced, high quality products. The components of this strategy are:

Higher levels of localization

Vendor participation in cost reduction

Cost reduction on warranties

Reduction in initial investment cost

Reduction in number of vehicle platforms

Achieve further cost reduction through higher productivity

Lower cost of ownership:

Through their business strategies, they seek to reduce the consumer’s cost of ownership of their cars, which comprises the cost of purchase, the cost of fuel and maintenance, including spare parts and repairs, during the life of the vehicle, insurance, and resale value.

N EW BUSINESS INITIATIVES

”.

Atithi Devo Bhava: One-stop shopInspired by the spirit of India. Atithi Devo Bhava, in Sanskirit,

means “a guest is like God”. It captures the Indian tradition of

honouring guests. It's also the inspiration for the welcome you’ll

receive at a Maruti Suzuki dealership, and the caring relationship

they share with those who drive their cars. At Maruti Suzuki, you

will find all your car related needs met under one roof. Whether it

is easy finance, insurance, fleet management. services, exchange

Maruti Suzuki is set to provide a single window solution for all your

car related needs.

That's why they have Maruti True Value, the best place to buy

and sell reliable used cars. Maruti Finance an agglomeration of

the biggest finance companies in India brought together by

Maruti Suzuki to ensure that the dream car is within everyone's

reach. Similarly, Maruti Insurance brings together some of the

biggest names in the car insurance industry to provide

insurance solutions to every type of car consumer. Then,

finally, there is N2N, which offers fleet related solutions.

. Complex data governance requirements - Global

automotive enterprises have large, complex information technology ecosystems. While customer information must be shared within this ecosystem in order to fully maximize

Page 29: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

global operations, it must also be protected. Proper management of customer information requires a sophisticated capability to manage a variety of access rules and to accommodate legal restrictions that can change very quickly. The trust required for successful collaboration between groups in the automotive enterprise must be built by demonstrating that customer information can be shared while observing these complex requirements.

Page 30: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

ANALYSIS

Corporates, don't talk about exceeding customer satisfaction - that's passes - the time has come to `dazzle the customer'. But to do that, first you must get customer relationship management (CRM) in place. In the context of India, this is very crucial as the recent World Economic Forum Report on Global Competitiveness has ranked India 43 out of 49 nations surveyed, on `customer orientation'.

Managing customer relationships is not only complex but is also multi-faceted and thus calls for an inter-disciplinary approach. Particularly, as in the New Economy, the customer has become very demanding and the emphasis needs to be on being consumer-centric. Technology solutions as applied to various front-end functions could aid in building a viable link between the organisations and customers irrespective of geographical separation. This has to be backed with appropriate systems and processes to mine the right type of data by the right function in an organisation.

Besides technology, systems and processes, another important link is human resource, If CRM is the key, HR would be the nerve centre for any CRM activity.

At Maruti Udyog Ltd the first step for a company to enhance value through CRM was to identify its target base. At Maruti, the categories which emerged were:

* Two-wheeler owners;

Page 31: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

* Customers taken away from the competition;

* Services sector.

After identifying the target, the next stage was to build on customer relationships. Maruti, therefore, began evaluating the current database of consumers to identify those who wanted Maruti service or better still, wanted to upgrade up the value chain in Maruti products. Third, it began working in tandem with the oil industry to get data feedback on two-wheeler consumers-and identify those ready to move into four-wheeler purchases. Ultimately, CRM is all about value enhancement for the organisation.

Page 32: Maruti Udyog Limted Fin

CONCLUSION

The price of a car is just one-third of what it cost you over its

lifetime. Running and maintaining it make up the other two-thirds.

Take into account resale value and its real cost becomes clear.

Maruti Suzuki stands for value as much as it stands for

performance. In spite of rising input costs, we try our best to keep

prices down. Their running costs and resale values are unbeatable

too. Nothing matches the delight their cars deliver. In the JD Power

CSI study 2005, 85% of Maruti Suzuki owners stated that they

would definitely recommend the car they drive to someone else.

Infact, you don’t buy a Maruti Suzuki. You invest in it.

TNS Automotive's TCS Study has, since its inception in 2002,

surveyed over 25,000 car buyers and has built a sizeable sample

base. Some of the key findings, indicators and inferences from the

2005 study are:
