CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION

1
INTRODUCTION
India is the third largest producer of two wheelers after Japan and China. The two-
wheeler industry in India has enjoyed a wider appeal with the masses as a means of
private transportation.
The Indian two wheeler structures were quite monopolistic during the first thirty seven
years since independence, when industries grew at a slow pace.
Bajaj auto had an undisputed leadership over the market.
1. Consumers had to literally wait for years before acquiring a Bajaj vehicle.
2. The industry registered a compounded growth rate of 12% during the seventies.
The second phase began in the mid eighties when the sector was particularly deregulated.
This phase saw Japanese companies tying up with domestic players and newer models
were introduced in specific segments. Even though the demand was apparently strong for
scooters, most of Japanese opted to produce motorcycles except Kinetic Honda, which
choose to manufacture scooters.
The annual growth rate for the two wheelers industry during this phase stood at 16%.The
third phase began in 1994, when sales started picking up the market saw a steep increase
in the demand. In 1995 the industry produced about one million scooters, six lakh
motorcycles. During April 1995 to December1995 scooter sales grew by 17.26% and
motorcycles sales grew by 37.16%. By January 1999 the scooter sales started dipping
and the motorcycles sales started reaching new height with the use of new technology and
with the emergence of new models in the market.

2
Demand drivers for growth of industry
With the beginning of new millennium the overall sales of the motorcycles is increasing
day by day with many new players entering the market with new technology, design and
style.
The demand for two-wheelers has been influenced by a number of factors over the past
five years. The key demand drivers for the growth of the two-wheeler industry are as
follows:
▪ Inadequate public transportation system, especially in the semi-urban and rural areas;
▪ Increased availability of cheap consumer financing in the past 3-4 years;
▪ Increasing availability of fuel-efficient and low-maintenance models;
▪ Increasing urbanization, which creates a need for personal transportation;
▪ Changes in the demographic profile;
▪ Difference between two-wheeler and passenger car prices, which makes two-wheelers
the entry level vehicle;
▪ Steady increase in per capita income over the past five years; and
▪ Increasing number of models with different features to satisfy diverse consumer needs.
A significant trend witnessed over the past five years is the inclination of consumers
towards products with superior features and styling. Better awareness about international
models has raised expectations of consumers on some key attributes, especially quality,
styling, and performance. High competitive intensity has prompted players to launch
vehicles with improved attributes at a price less than the competitive models.
In an effort to satisfy the distinct needs of consumers, producers are identifying emerging
consumer preferences and developing new models. For instance, in the motorcycles
segment, motorcycles with engine capacity over 150cc, is a segment that has witnessed
significant new product launches and hence, become more competitive. The indigenously
launched Pulsar 150 had met with success on its launch and thereafter, a host of models

3
have been launched in this segment by various players. While Bajaj Auto launched the
Pulsars with digital twin spark technology that offers a powerful engine and fuel
efficiency of 125 cc models, model launches by other players include LML's
Graptor/Beamer, HMSI's Unicorn besides the HHML's CBZ and TVS' Fiero F2.
Moreover, in the recent past, the motorcycle segment has witnessed launch of vehicles
with higher engine capacity and power . These include models such as Bajaj Auto
Eliminator and Royal Enfield's Thunderbird followed by HHML's Karisma. Besides
these, KEL has launched premium segment motorcycles GF 170 and GF Laser besides
launching products from the portfolio of its technology partner . The products in this
segment cater for style conscious consumers. Quite a few players are developing models
combining features such as higher engine capacity" optimum mix of power and
performance, and superior styling. However, the extent of shift to these products would
depend on the positioning of such products in terms of price.

In the scooters segment, the market for plastic-bodied variomatic scooters continues to
witness growth in the scenario of overall decline in scooter volumes. Higher volumes and
growth are especially true for certain scooter models, such as Honda Activa, that brought
in new technology to further differentiate themselves. Thus, the need to differentiate and
create a niche has led to companies strengthening their research and development
capabilities and reducing the development time for new models.

CLASSIFICATION OF TWO WHEELERS
Two wheelers are generally classified as motorcycles, scooters and mopeds.
Motorcycles: The motorcycles segments grew by 28% in terms of sales in 1995,
which is remarkable by all standards.
In the eighties, the only available motorcycles in the Indian market were the conventional
indigenously built rajdoot, Bullet and Yezdi. This changed drastically when Japanese
introduced their 100 cc Motor Cycles in Indian Market. The superior styling and better
ergonomics led to increase in market share. The motor cycles made in colloboration with
Japanese technology by Bajaj auto and Hero Honda account for a 58% of the Motor
Cycle market. They are not only fuel efficient because of the four stroke engines, but
also well styled for Indian customer. Apart from Bajaj and Hero Honda, the other two
brands belonging to the segments are escorts Yamaha and TVS MOTORS COMPANY

Scooters: In 1994-95 the scooter segment accounted for 46.08% of two wheelers
industry and crossed the one million mark. As such the scooter segment has grown by
34.33% which is one of greatest achievement of industry.
The most important contributor to the segment is Bajaj Auto, with an installed capacity of
12.72 lakh scooter per annum. In fact, the company is the largest manufacture of two-
wheeler in the country and fourth largest in the world. Other companies which are
involved in manufacturer of scooter are LML with a capacity of 20,000 Scooters per
annum and kinetic Honda. In both the companies foreign partners enjoy a majority stake.

5
Mopeds: In 1972, Indian consumers were introduced to the model of two wheelers,
which was popularly known as the mopeds. This segment was dominated by Luna,
which became virtually to generic name for mopeds and came to be identified with lower
middle class of the country because it was the cheapest available two wheeler with
maximum offered. Mopeds account for this smallest chunk in the industry.

However this segment has failed to grow especially compared to Motor Cycles and
scooters. During the eighties, mopeds were quite popular in the first half of the eighties,
the sector showed a phenomenal growth of 65% during 81-85. During 94, mopeds
registered a growth of just 13%. Kinetic engineering is one of the leading producers of
mopeds in India. The company came into the lime light with indigenously build Luna.
Beside this, the company has five models in the moped section-Super, Spark, Magnum
and TFR. With domestic competition hooting up better models have hit Indian roads,
which have eaten into the market share of this company. Today its main competitors are
TVS Motors Company.

1.10. CONSUMER SATISFACTION


CONSUMER - Consumer is the person who is having willingness to buy the product
and supported by the enough monetary power to pay for it. The consumer buys "A
product to fulfill his demand. So, the consumer expects full satisfaction by the product for
which he is paying".
Consumer Satisfaction is a term frequently used in marketing. While it’s often
abbreviate as consumer satisfaction, it is more correct to abbreviate it as Consumer
satisfaction. It is a measure of how products and service supplied by a company meet or

9
surpass consumer expectation. Consumer satisfaction is defined as “the number of
consumers, or percentage of total consumers, whose reported experience with a firm, its
products, or its services exceeds specified satisfaction goals.
“Builders that can provide a high level of consumer satisfaction can differentiate
themselves from the competition”.
What keeps business alive and kicking? The consumer! How to keep the consumer
happy? Consumer satisfaction has been defined as, “The state of mind that consumers
have about a company and its products or services when their expectations have been met
or exceeded”.
Consumer satisfaction levels can be kept high by providing consumer with great product
or service. Consumer satisfaction surveys are developed to provide an understanding of
consumers’ expectations and satisfaction.
Consumer service research includes measures of overall satisfaction, satisfaction with
individual product and service attributes, and satisfaction with benefits of purchase. The
best approach to measuring consumer satisfaction and building consumer satisfaction
surveys depends on the kind of product or service provided.
The kind of consumers served, how many consumers are served, the longevity and
frequency of consumer/supplier interactions, and what you intend to do with the results.
Companies should try to satisfy their consumers. Satisfied consumers usually return and
buy more, they tell other people about their experiences, and they may well pay a
premium for the privilege of doing business with a supplier they trust. Statistics are
bandied around that suggest that the cost of keeping a consumer is only one tenth of
winning a new one. Therefore, when we win a consumer, we should hang on to them
Consumer satisfaction measures how well the expectations of a consumer concerning a
product or service provided by your company have been met.

10
Consumer satisfaction is an abstract concept and involved such factors as the quality of
the product, the quality of the service provided, the atmosphere of the location where the
product or service is purchased, and the price of the product or service. Businesses often
use consumer satisfaction survey to gauge consumer satisfaction. These survey are used
to gather information about consumer satisfaction.
Consumer satisfaction is influenced by perceived quality of product and service
attributes, and is moderated by expectations of the product or service.
Consumer attitudes towards a product develop as a result of product information or any
experience with the product, whether perceived or real.
Satisfaction can influence other post-purchase/post-experience actins like communicating
to others though word of mouth and social networks.

on dry roads and 20-30 per cent on wet roads. Whereas, the professionals will be able to
achieve 16 percent quicker stopping distance on wet roads.

This research work is basically a descriptive research as it is involved with the study of
attitudes, aspirations, expectations and problems of the people who are using motorcycles
manufactured by TVS MOTORS COMPANY.
The study is also casual in some measure to the extent that it deals with research on
customer demand.

30
It is impossible to meet all the people who are using TVS motorcycles and to know their
attitudes, aspirations, expectations about the brand. Naturally drawing conclusion about a
large group on the basis of small sample has become very popular and so this study is
also and exception.

SAMPLE SELECTION, SIZE AND CHARACTERSTICS


Sampling is a systematic approach of selecting a few elements from an entire collection
of units in order to make some inferences about the total population; it is a small
specimen or a representation of the whole population.
The survey was done among 100 respondents who were working in various fields and
with different educational background and people were in the age group of 18-60. The
data collected by using structured questionnaires and reviewing of secondary data.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The questionnaire used for this study is highly structured, it was given a final shape after
pilot study. The questionnaire consisted of twenty questions, all to be answered by the
respondent.
The respondents were also assured that the information given by them will be treated as
confidential and would be used for research purposes.

31
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Questionnaires were the only source, which was used to study. The questionnaires were
given to the people who were using TVS motorcycles by meeting them personally and
got it filled.
The collected data from the respondents with the help of the research instrument that is
the questionnaires were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. Data analysis involved a
series of recorded observation in proper descriptive statements and inferences were
drawn.
Liberal usage of Bar charts and Graphs has been made in this study so as to make the
data illustrative.
A pilot study was undertaken before the commencement of the main survey was done
with a view to assess the validity of each question. The idea was to know whether the
respondents actually understand the language, wording and intended meaning correctly.
As a result of the experience gained from the pilot study an improved version of the
research instrument was framed from the main survey.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
According to Daniel P. Bearth, each driver is responsible for the actual possession, care and use
of the company vehicle in their possession. [3] The increased collision involvement of company
car drivers was also found by Cartwright et al. and Dimmer and Parker who stated that 27% of
company car drivers reported involvement in at least one crash in the previous three years
compared to 18% reported by non-company car drivers. In part, the high representation of
company drivers in collision involvement can be explained by increased exposure to risk , but
there is anecdotal as well as the research evidence provided by Dimmer and Parker of a ‘work
driver effect’, which means that responsible companies must endeavor to reduce the risks to
society and their employees.

32
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
1. The study would be restricted to Bangalore city only.
2.The results are based on the assumption that the information provided by the
respondents is correct and true to their knowledge and belief.
3.The study is time bound and would applicable to the

current. 4.Findings of this study are indicative of the current

trends.

5. The time constraint factor prevails.


6. Due to time constraint sample size is reduced to

100. 7.Some respondent’s opinion is bias.
