During the project a market research was done to analyse the present marketing challenges faced by KBS Motors and also to know in detail about sales. With the help of KBS Tata Motors showroom situated in Mawblei we have tried our level best to achieve our goals. The Company guide Ms. Annynette Lyngdoh helped us and guided us throughout the project. A similar kind of help was given to us by the Sales Managers and Team Leaders we were assigned to. Their suggestions and guidance enabled us the opportunity to interact with customers in the city and helped make our study a successful and a better project. They took us along with them on any event that was organised in the city and this gave us the opportunity to get to know the customer’s preferences in different areas and perspective 5 depending on their background, income capacity and choice of vehicle. 9 During the project we tried to gather the information from different sources. We took most of the information from the Training Manager, Sales Manager, Team leaders and the customers who visited the events. The rest of the information was collected from TATA Motors website. We tried our best to give important information about the sales aspect of KBS Tata Motors. Through this project we hope to shed some light on the marketing challenges that the company is facing and also strategies they are following in order to keep its standards above all the other companies providing the best service in town. The information shared in this project aims and hopes to be useful for future reference for both KBS Motors and us. This project was compiled, edited and prepared in about 2months.

We tried to find out the insecurity and5 unease that 9 may arise in the minds of the customers after buying a car from TATA and a question which may arise in the minds of the customers that, Was the deal of buying a car from TATA worth the amount the customers paid? We prepared a questionnaire for the TATA customers with a sample size of hundred questionnaires for the customers who already own a TATA car in the Shillong city. We tried to cover up all the necessary aspects related to the showroom and tried to explain all the necessary things which came up from the data collected through the questionnaires. We have worked as sales personnel’s in the showroom and had a great experience of actual work done in an automobile company. In this project we tried to find out how the sales in a company is carried out and also to know the marketing challenges it faced in order to survive the competition in the city. We have also done a brief study on NANO as it is presently the cheapest car and affordable by a middle class family. We have also mentioned about the different steps taken by TATA for resource sustainability and the milestone it has achieved. We have also tried to cover the services provided by KBS Motors.

  • Behind the Nano Mistakes : a Case Study on Consumer Psychology
    CASE STUDY Behind the Nano Mistakes : A Case Study on Consumer Psychology Shamim Akhtar Abstract Since from its conception, there have been way too many impediments towards Faculty Member Icfai University the success of Tata Motors dream project – Nano. It seems evident that Tatas Mizoram have had problems with the entire marketing mix for Nano. There were initial safety issues with the product; they couldn’t hold on to their original pricing promise due to rising costs; there was a tough time with the distribution due to serious mismatch between demand and supply; and there wasn’t a proper promotional campaign to begin with. This explorative case study looks beyond the mistakes and attempts to throw light on the consumer psychology regarding Nano’s initial low market acceptance; which seemed to be quite different from what the company and industry had speculated in the beginning. While making qualitative assessment of the perception, attitudes and behavior of the consumers, the case study also explores the continuous hurdles that Tata Motors had gone through and the others that it still tries to overcome to ensure “Nano – the people’s car”, gets its truly deserving position in the market. “We are happy to present the People’s Car to India and we hope it brings the joy, pride and utility of owning a car to many families who need personal mobility.” – Ratan Tata after unveiling Nano at the 2008 Delhi Auto Expo1 “I think it’s a moment of history and I’m delighted an Indian company is leading the way.” – Anand Mahindra, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra Quoted by Hindustan Times before the unveiling of Nano2 “There was a mismatch vis-à-vis the hype.

In this context this paper explores sources of innovation and technological capability in the Indian automobile industry. In last decade Indian auto industry emerged as one of the fastest growing industry with increasing levels of technological sophistication in auto industries amongst emerging countries. This paper shows that industrial policy set up challenges for firm in form of constraint to develop products with higher local suppliers and helped development of auto component supplier industry. It also points out important role played by factors such as nature of demand and firm ownership in innovative capability development.

The diversified nature of businesses has helped Indian auto firms in innovative capabilities by facilitating inter-sector learning. 1 1. Introduction In the global world innovation lies at the heart of the economic growth and development for countries and firms in advanced as well as developing countries. History is full of examples where lack of innovation has withered away the economies and firms precisely because those economies and firms lacked a “Schumpeterian vigour”. Schumpeter explained sweeping away of innovation-laggards by competition from radical new technologies as ‘creating destruction’.

  • Fuel Consumption from Light Commercial Vehicles in India, Fiscal Year 2018–19
    WORKING PAPER 2021-02 © 2021 INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON CLEAN TRANSPORTATION JANUARY 2021 Fuel consumption from light commercial vehicles in India, fiscal year 2018–19 Author: Ashok Deo Keywords: CO2 standards, fleet average fuel consumption, mini truck, pickup truck, greenhouse gas emissions Introduction This paper examines the fuel consumption of new light commercial vehicles (LCVs) sold in India in fiscal year (FY) 2018–19. These vehicles are the N1 segment in India, and passenger vehicles are the M1 category.1 LCVs in India are not yet subject to any carbon dioxide (CO2) emission standards, even though such standards apply to passenger cars and have proven effective in driving down test-cycle emission levels of new vehicles. This work establishes a baseline of fuel consumption for the N1 segment in India, to help regulators develop an effective CO2/fuel consumption standard. Additionally, we compare the N1 fleets for FY 2014–15, FY 2017–18, and FY 2018–19, understand the characteristics of the mini truck and pickup segments within the N1 category, and compare the performance of major LCV manufacturers in India in terms of fleet average fuel consumption. Finally, we assess the performance of India’s LCV fleet against the LCV fleet in the European Union, considering the differences in the curb weight and size of the vehicles, and examine the performance of LCV manufacturers if a star labeling standard or passenger car fuel consumption standards were to be applied. Background LCVs are used in India as “last-mile” connectivity to move goods to their final destination. The light-duty vehicle market was approximately 87% passenger cars and 13% LCVs in FY 2018 –19.2 This study focuses on India’s LCVs, which are bifurcated into two segments by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), as shown in www.theicct.org Table 1.
