The Indian two-wheeler industry has come long way since its beginning in 1948 when
Bajaj Auto started importing and selling Vespa Scooters in India. Over the time customer
preferences have changed in favour of motorcycles and gearless bikes that score higher on
technology, fuel economy and aesthetic appeal, at the expense of metal-bodied geared
scooters and mopeds. These changes in customer preferences have had an impact on fortunes
of the players. The players have either perished or have significantly lost market share,
whereas new leaders have emerged. However currently, India is the second largest producer
of two-wheelers in the world. It stands next only to China and Japan in terms of the number
of two-wheelers produced and the sales of two-wheelers respectively.
The demand and sale of the two wheelers have been affected by rising income levels,
reducing excise duties, higher loan tenure and loan-to-value offered by the financing
companies. Also the mounting traffic chaos and limited parking space has also increased the
demand for two-wheelers from households that can afford or actually do own a car. The two
wheeler industry has also been affected with increasing women working population, changing
social philosophy and broad mindedness.
Abundant and low cost labour coupled with local availability of raw materials like
steel, aluminium and natural rubber has placed India amongst the low cost producing centres
of two-wheelers. It anticipates buoyant growth in two-wheeler exports as well.
The recent recession , slow down in the economy world wide and subdued macro
economic scenario has caused poor consumer confidence level thus affecting the overall same
of two wheels. However slow but steady penetration, rising income levels makes the long
term outlook healthier. The post recession scenario shows increase in the sales of the auto
two wheeler industry. In the FY 2009,the sales have risen by 5% from the FY 2008. Also the
demand for 3 wheelers in rural India is slowly being replaced by two wheelers.

2.1 Players in the Two Wheeler Industry
There are many two-wheeler manufacturers in India. Major players in the 2-wheelerindustry are Hero Honda Motors Ltd (HHML), Bajaj Auto Ltd (Bajaj Auto) and TVS Motor
Company Ltd (TVS)
The other key players in the two-wheeler industry are Kinetic Motor Company Ltd
(KMCL), Kinetic Engineering Ltd (KEL), LML Ltd (LML), Yamaha Motors India Ltd
(Yamaha), Majestic Auto Ltd (Majestic Auto), Royal Enfield Ltd (REL) and Honda
Motorcycle & Scooter India (P) Ltd (HMSI).
This counts to around 10 two-wheeler manufacturers in the country, they being Bajaj,
Hero, Hero Honda, Honda, Indus, Kinetic, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, TVS, and Yamaha. The
latest trend in the two-wheeler market is the introduction of electrically operated vehicles
from a range of manufacturers such as Indus and Hero. These can be recharged from
convenient household electrical points. The only disadvantage is speed, which is restricted to
around 25 miles per hour. Currently, the motorcycle market is witnessing a demand for
higher volume engines.

2.5.1 What is expected by the industry?
The industry expects to reduce interest rates on auto loans and credit availability on twowheeler loans. The lack of finance and high interest rates limits the growth in both the two
wheeler industry. It also expects to retain the existing excise duty on two wheelers at 8%. The
reduction in the excise duty to 8% enabled the revival of the two wheeler industry. Thus
retention of the same will provide support for two wheeler industry to continue to grow. If the
customs duty on steel, aluminium etc is raised, then it will be negative for the auto industry in
general.
2.5.2 What is expected of the Industry?
Motorcycle sales will perform positively in future, exceeding 10 Million units by 2012-
13.Value of auto component exports is likely to attain a double digit figure in 2012-
13.Turnover of the Indian auto component industry is forecasted to surpass US$ 50 Billion in
2014-15.
2.6.1 Factors that drive the demand of Two Wheelers
Inadequate public transportation system, especially in the rural and semi urban areas.
Easy Availability of finance and credit.
Availability of fuel efficient and low maintenance models.
Price difference between two wheelers and passenger cars.
2.6.2 Indian Auto Policy 2002
The Government of India approved a comprehensive automotive policy in March 2002, the
main proposals of which are as under:
Foreign direct investment : Automatic approval is proposed to be granted to foreign equity
investment up to 100% for manufacture of automobiles and components.
Import tariff : Import tariffs are proposed to be fixed at a level such that they facilitate the
development of manufacturing capabilities as opposed to mere assembly.
Incentives for R&D : The weighted average tax deduction under the Income Tax Act, 1961
for automotive companies is proposed to be increased from current level of 125% (The
-
8/14/2019 Portfolio-sujay and Vaidehi
13/27
13
weighted average deduction for R&D was increased to 150% in the Union Budget 2004-05).
Further, the policy proposes to include vehicle manufacturers for a rebate on the applicable
excise duty for every 1% of the gross turnover of the company expended during the year on
R&D.
Environmental aspects : Adequate fiscal incentives are proposed to promote the use of low-
emission auto fuel technology (in line with the Auto Fuel Policy). The auto policy states the
Government's intent to align domestic policy with the international practice of imposing
higher road tax on old vehicles so as to discourage their use.
2.7 PORTERS MODEL
Barriers to entry
Below are the points which play Key roles for new entrants:
Economies of scale/capital investment
Cost & resource disadvantage (patents, locked-in partnerships with suppliers/customers)
Learning & experience curves
Brand preferences & loyalty
Access to distribution channels
Regulatory prices
Tariffs & international trade restrictions
Industry attractiveness (growth/profitability
On account of the fragmentation of the industry, competition
would prevail, but new entrants are unlikely to survive this cycle.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
The suppliers enjoy bargaining power in the case of high end and premium segment of bikes.
The customers also have specific demands catering to the segment and brand.
Bargaining Power of Purchaser
There is a high bargaining power of purchasers in the Auto industry in general sector. It
doesnot exist in the niche market if bikes though.
-
8/14/2019 Portfolio-sujay and Vaidehi
14/27
14
The purchasers in the general sector can bargain discounts, offers and credit as there are other
players offering similar products.
Rivalry amongst existing firms
There is a bulging competition with foreign players but only in the niche market. In the
domestic market though Hero Honda is leading player in bike segment, there exists
competition to capture the market. However the target customers differ in some cases.
Substitute threat
The industry faces threat of substitutes from better local transport like buses, local trains and
metros. Cheaper four wheelers coming up can also be a threat to the industry.
2.8 SWOT Analysis
1) StrengthsThe auto industry has an advantage that the industry cannot die in next 10 years atleast. It is a
convenient mode of transport which is the main feature a consumer demands for currently.
The auto two wheeler comes in latest styles, trends and are available in all price range.
2) WeaknessThe industry is immediately affected by changes in price of the Raw Materials like steel and
aluminium. It is also negatively affected by hike in the prices of petrol and diesel. The change
in the custom duties, excise duties and taxes affect the auto two wheeler industry.
India lacks latest technology. India is behind with consideration of technology.
3) OpportunitiesThere is booming demand from the target audience of girls and women.
The rural and semi urban areas have shown demand for two wheelers. With economy
booming in the rural India, the industry is target the rural market.
The regional areas with poor transportation facilities has high demand for two wheeler which
is an opportunity.

8/14/2019 Portfolio-sujay and Vaidehi
15/27

4) ThreatsThe Nano a one lakh rupee car has been seen as a threat to the two wheeler industry.
However the running and maintenance cost and the convenience given the Indian roads are
difficult to replace.
Electric Bikes being environmental friendly and cost effective can be a threat, but it can be
considered as a part of the industry.
Better infrastructure and metros can be considered as substitute threats.

GNP. As the nation sees a positive GNP, the two auto wheeler also shows a positive
scenario. It is one of the key indicators of the progress of the industry.

could prove to be decisive. If a country faces a situation of inflation then the industry

interest rates and the excise duty cut due to the stimulus packages have brought in
some relief for this disturbed industry.
Budget and its composition - . If the customs duty on steel, aluminium etc is raised,
then it will be negative for the auto industry in general
Magnitude of budget surplus/deficit With Budget surplus one can expect more
expenditure on infrastructure, there by better transport facilities and thus reducing
demand for auto two wheeler.
Level of internal and external debt -, the economic uncertainty in the market,
during this festive season, triggered the higher rates of interest and credit crunch,

of money in the market. Due to which the interest rates by banks are increased
affecting the consumers invariably.

even then, the market conditions are not expected to get better before January 2010.
Natural calamity Any kind of natural calamity affects the sales and industry
negatively
Future projection of the economy - The Two-wheeler industry is known for its
inherent cyclical feature with 18 months of growth followed by 18 months of
degrowth.
Labour capital ratio With increasing technological up gradation, the labour capital
ratio has reduced.
Markup, profit margin and selling price. The selling price affects the industry in
general largely. As the price is one of the major determinants of the demand.
Advertising & promotional programme. With so much competition the
advertising and marketing strategies helps build the brand thereby helping the sales.
R&D expenses the life cycle of products getting shorter, the ability to offer new
models to meet fast changing customer preferences has become imperative. In this
context, the ability to deliver newer products calls for sound technological backing
and this has become one of the critical differentiating factor among companies in the
domestic market. Thus, the players have increased their focus on research and
development with some having indigenously developed new models as well as
improved technologies to cater to the domestic market.
On the two-wheeler industry front, since most manufacturers have a technology tie-up
with a foreign major, the incentive to do R&D with the Indian counterpart has
increased. For adopting new technologies companies need to invest high.

With major auto companies spending sizeable amount on product development and
in-house R&D expenditure in recent times, deduction of 150% on excise duty
exemption to the end consumers allowed on the same will encourage further R&D
investments.
Technology transfer to the Indian two-wheeler industry took place mainly through:
licensing and technical collaboration
Exports being one of the thrust areas for some Indian two-wheeler companies, the
Indian original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have realised the need to upgrade
their technical capabilities. These relate to three main areas: fuel economy,
environmental compliance, and performance. In India, because of the cost-sensitive
nature of the market, fuel efficiency had been an interest area for manufacturers.
