INTRODUCTION
India is the second largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. In the last few years,
the Indian two-wheelers industry has seen spectacular growth. The country stands next to China
and Japan in terms of production and sales respectively.
Majority of Indians, especially the youngsters prefer motorbikes rather than cars.
Capturing a large share in the two-wheeler industry, bikes and scooters cover a major segment.
Bikes are considered to be the favorite among the youth generation, as they help in easy
communication.
Large varieties of two-wheelers are available in the market, known for their latest
technology and enhanced mileage. Indian bikes, scooters and mopeds represent style and classfor the both men and women.
The study and analysis of Two-Wheelers in Hero Two-wheeler company as the main
theme them the study.
Todays business operates in highly competitive environment. Marketing is most
dynamic and challenging function of modern business at these changing preference of people,
the business organization are trying to attract to customers at that possible extant. Companies are
creating new ways and tools to make the public know about their products.
Within this exchange transaction customers will only exchange what they value (money)
if they feel that their needs are being fully satisfied; clearly the greater the benefit provided the
higher transactional value an organization can charge.
Marketing objectives, goals and targets have to be monitored and met, competitor
strategies analyzed, anticipated and exceeded. Through effective use of market and marketing
research an organization should be able to identify the needs and wants of the customers and try
to delivers benefits that will enhance or add to the customers lifestyle. While at the same time
ensuring that the satisfaction of these needs results in a healthy turnover for the organization.
Philip Kotler defines marketing as satisfying needs and wants through an exchangeprocesses.

MOTORCYCLE
A motorcycle (also called a motorbike, bike, or cycle) is a single-track, engine-powered,
two-wheeled motor vehicle. Motorcycles very considerably depending on the task for which they
are designed, such as long distance travel, navigating congested urban traffic, cruising, sport and
racing, or off- road conditions.
AN URAL MOTORCYCLE WITH SIDECAR
Motorcycles are one of the most affordable forms of motorized transport in many parts of
the world and, for most of the worldspopulation; they are also the most common type of motor
vehicle. There are around 200 million motorcycles (including mopeds, motor scooters and other
powered two and three-wheelers) in use worldwide, or about 33 motorcycles per 1000 people.
This compares to around 590 million cars, or about 91 per 1000 people. Most of the
motorcycles, 58%, are in the developing countries of Asian- southern and Eastern Asia, and the
Asia Pacific countries, excluding Japan-while 33% of the cars (195 million) are concentrated in
United States and Japan. As of 2012, India with an estimated 37 million motorcycles/mopeds
was home to the largest number of motorized two-wheelers in the world. China come a close
with 34 million motorcycles/mopeds.
HISTORY
REPLICA OF DAIMLER-MAY BACH PETROLEUM REITWAGEN
The first internal combustion, petroleum fueled motorcycle was the petroleum reitwagen.
It was designed and built by the German investors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm May Bach in
bad Constant, German in 1885.
This vehicle was unlike either the safety bicycles or the boneshaker bicycles of the era in
that it had zero degrees of steering axis angle and no fork offset, and thus did not use the
principles of bicycles and motorcycles dynamics developed nearly 70 years earlier.
The investors called invention the Reitwagen (Riding Car). It was designed an
expedient test bed for their new engine, rather than a true prototype vehicle. Many authorities
who exclude steam powered, electric or diesel two-wheelers from definition of a motorcycle,
credit the Daimler Reitwagen as the worlds first motorcycle.

If a two-wheeled vehicle with steam propulsion is considered a motorcycle, then the first
was the French Mixchaux-Perreaux steam bicycle of 1868. This was followed by the AmericanRoper steam velocipede of 1869 built by Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts.
Roper demonstrated at fairs and circuses in eastern U.S in 1867, and built a total of 10 examples.
In 1894, Hidebrand & Wolfmuller became the first series production motorcycles and the
first to be called a motorcycle (German: Motorrad). In the early period of motorcycle history,
many producers of bicycles adapted their designs to accommodate the new internal combustion
engine. As the engines became more powerful and design outgrew the bicycle origins, the
number of motorcycles producers increased.
Until World War I, the largest motorcycle manufactured in the world was Indian,
producing over 20,000 bikes per year. By 1920, this honor went to Harley-Davidson, with their
motorcycles being sold by dealers in 67 countries. By the late 1920s of early 1930s, DKW took
over as the largest manufacturer.
After World War II, the BSA group became the largest producer of motorcycles in the
world, producing up to 75,000 bikes per year in the 1950s. The German company NSU held the
position of largest manufacturer from 1955 until the 1970s. NSU Soirtnax streamlined
motorcycle, 250cc class winner of the 1955 grand Prix season.
NSU produced the most advanced design, but after the deaths of four NSU riders in the
1954-1956 seasons, they abandoned further development and quit Grand Prix motorcycle racing.Moto Guzzi produced competitive race machines, and by 1957 nearly all the Grand Prix races
were being won by streamlined machines. The following year, 1958, full enclosure fairings were
banned from racing by the FIM in the light of the safety concerns.
From the 1960s through the 1990s, small two-stroke motorcycles were popular
worldwide, partly as a result of East German Walter Kaadens engine work in the 1950s.Today,
the motorcycle industry is mainly dominated by Japanese companies witch as Honda, Kawasaki,
Suzuki, and Yamaha, although Harley-Davidson and BM continue to be popular and supply
considerable markets. Other major manufacturers include piaggio group of Italy, KTM Triumph
and Ducati.
In addition to the large capacity motorcycles, there is a large market in smaller capacity
(less than 300cc) motorcycles, mostly concentrated in Asian and African countries. Today, this
area is dominated by mostly Indian companies with hero Honda emerging as the worlds largest
manufacturer of two wheelers. Super splendor model has sold more than 8.5 million to date.

CONSTRUCTION
Motorcycle construction is the engineering, manufacturing, and assemble of components
and systems for a motorcycle which results in the performance, cost, and aesthetics desired by
the designer.
With some exceptions, construction of modern mass-produced motorcycles has
standardized on a steel or aluminum frame, telescopic forks holding the front wheel, and disc
brakes.
Some other body parts, designed for either aesthetic or performance reasons may be added. A
petrol powered engine typically consisting of between one and four cylinders (and less
commonly, up to eight cylinders) coupled to a manual fiv e or six- speed sequential transmission
drives the swing armmounted rear wheel by a chain, driveshaft or belt.
FUEL ECONOMY
Motorcycle fuel economy varies greatly with engine displacement and riding style
ranging from a low of 29 mpg-us (801L/100 km; 35mpg-imp) reported by a Honda VTR 1000F
rider, to 107 mpg-us (2020 L/100km; 129 mpg-imp) reported for the Verucci Nitro 50cc Scooter.
A specially designed Matzu Matsuzawa Honda XL 125 achieved 470 mpg-us (0.50L/100km; 560 mpg-imps) on real highways in real conditions. Due to lower engine
displacements (100 cc200cc) motorcycles in developing countries offer good fuel economy.
In the Indian market, the second best selling company, Bajaj, offers two models with
superior fuel economy; XCD 125 and platina. Both are 125 cc motorbikes with a company-
claimed fuel economy of 256 mpg-Us (0.919 L/100 km; 307 mpg-1mp) and 261 mpg-us (0.901
L/100 km; 313 mpg-imp), respectively.
ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES
Very high fuel economy equivalents can be derived by electric motorcycles. Electric
motorcycles are nearly silent, Zero-emission electric motor-driven vehicles. Operating range and
top speed suffer because of limitations of battery technology.
Fuel cells and petroleum-electric hybrids are also under development to extend the range
and improve performance of the electric motors

DYNAMICS
RACING MOTORCYCLES LEANING IN A TURN
Different types of motorcycles have different dynamics and these play a role in how a
motorcycle performs in given conditions. For example, one with a longer wheelbase provides
the feeling of more stability by responding less to disturbances. Motorcycle tires have a large
influence over handling.
Motorcycles must be leaned in order to make turns. This lean is induced by the method
known as counter steering, in which the rider steers the handlebars in the direction opposite of
the desired turn.
Because it is counter-intuitive this practice is often very confusing to novices and even to
many experienced motorcyclists.
Short wheelbase motorcycles, such as sport bikes, can generate enough torque at the rear wheel,
and enough stopping force at the front wheel, to lift the opposite wheel off the road.
These actions, if performed on purpose, are knowns wheelies and stop pies respectively.
If carried past the point of recovery the resulting upset is known as an endo (short for end -
over-end), or looping the vehicle.
ACCESSORIES
Various features and accessories may be attached to a motorcycle either as OEM
(factory-fitted) or after-market. Such accessories are selected by the owner to enhance the
motorcycles appearance, safety, performance, of comfort.
SOCIAL ASPECTS (POPULARITY)
MOTORBIKES ARE THE PRIMARY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION IN
VIETNAM
In numerous cultures, motorcycles are the primary means of motorized transport.
According to the Taiwanese government, for example, the number of automobiles per ten
thousandpopulations is around 2,500 and the number of motorcycles is about 5,000. In places
such as Vietnam, Motorized traffic consist of mostly motorbikes due to a lack of public transport
and low income levels that put automobiles out of reach for many.

The four largest motorcycle markets in the world are all in Asia: China, India, Indonesia,
and Vietnam. The motorcycle is also popular in Brazils frontier towns. Amid the globaleconomic downturn of 2008 the motorcycle market grew by 6.5%.
Recently years have seen an increase in the popularity of motorcycles elsewhere. In the
USA, registrations increased by 51% between 2000 and 2005. This is mainly at tribute to
increasing fuel prices and urban congestion.
A Consumer Reports subscribers survey of mainly United States motorcycle and scooter
owners reported that they rode an average of only 1,000 miles (1,600 km) per year, 82% for
recreation and 38% for commuting. Americans put 10,000 12,000 miles (16000-19000 km)
per year on their cars and light trucks.
Around the world, motorcycles have historically been associated with subcultures. Some
of these subcultures have been loose-knit social groups such as the caf racers of 1950s Britain,
and the Mods and Rockers of the 1960s. A few are believed to be criminal gangs
SUNBEAM MOTORCYCLE OWNERS RALLY, 2008
Social motorcyclist organizations are popular and are sometimes organized
geographically; focus on individual makes, or even specific models. Example motorcycle clubs
include: American Motorcyclist Association, Harley Owners Group and BMW MNA. Some
organizations hold large international motorcycle rallies in different parts of the world that areattended by many thousands of riders.
Where as many social motorcycle organizations raise money for charities through
organized events and rides, some other motorcycle organizations exist only for the direct benefit
of others Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) is one example BACA assigns members to
individual children to help them through difficult situations, or even stay with the child if the
child is alone or frightened.
In recent decades motorcyclists have formed political lobbying organizations in order to
influence legislators to introduce motorcycle friendly legislation.
One of the oldest such organization the British motorcycle action group, was founded in
1973 specifically in response to helmet compulsion, introduced without public consultation.
In addition the British Motorcyclists federation (BMF), originally founded in 1960 as a
reaction to the public perception of motorcyclists as leather jacketed hooligans, has itself moved
into political lobbying.

Likewise the US has ABATE, which, like most such organizations, also works to
improve motorcycle safety, as well as running the usual charity fund raising events and rallies,often for motorcycle-related political interests.
At the other end of the spectrum from the charitable organizations and the motorcycle
rights activists are the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs. These are defined by the Provincial Court of
Manitoba as:
Any group of motorcycle enthusiasts who have voluntarily made a commitment to band
together and abide by their organizations rigorous rules enforced by violence.

The Fedral Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Criminal Intelligence Service Canada have
designated four MCs as Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs), which are the Pagans, Hells Angels,
Outlaws MC, and Bandidos, Known as the Big Four.
As a cost-efficient alternative to infrequent and expensive public transport systems, or ameans of avoiding or reducing the effects of urban congestion. In Places where it is permitted,
lane splitting, also known as filtering, allows motorcycles to use the space between vehicles to
move through stationary or slow traffic.
A BOULEVARD CRUISER (FRONT) AND A SPORT BIKE (BACKGROUND)
TYPES
There are three major types of motorcycle: Street, off-road, and dual purpose. Within
these types, there are many different sub-types of motorcycles for many different purposes. Eachconfiguration offers either specialized advantage or broad capability, and each design creates a
different riding posture.
Street bikes include cruisers, sport bikes, scooters and mopeds, and many other types.
Off-road motorcycles include many types designed for dirt-oriented racing classes such as
motocross and are not street legal in most areas. Dual purpose machines like the dual-sport style
are made to go off-road but include creatures to make them legal and comfortable on the street as
well.
MOTORCYCLE RIDER POSTURESThe Motorcyclists riding position depends on rider body-geometry combined with the geometry
of the motorcycle itself. These factors create a set of three basic postures.
Sport the rider leans forwards into the wind and the weight of the upper torso issupported by air pressure as long as the motorcycle.

Travelling at speed, typically about 50 mph. The foot pegs are below the rider or to therear. The reduced frontal area cuts wind resistance and allow higher speeds.
However, at low speed this position throws the weight of the rider onto the aimsinstead, and this is quickly tiring to the wrists of unfamiliar riders. Moreover, the sportsposition makes it more difficult for the rider to look around and foot though traffic.
LEGAL DEFINITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
A motorcycle is broadly defined bylaw in most countries for the purposes of registration
taxation and rider licensing as a powered two-wheel motor vehicle. Most countries distinguish
between mopeds of 49cc and the more powerful, larger, vehicles (scooters do not count as a
separate category) Many jurisdictions include some forms of three-wheelers as motorcycles.
ORGANIZATION PROFILE
Hero is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company, Hero
Cycles Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company wasestablished in 1984 as the Hero Honda Motors Limited atDharuhera, India. Munjal familyandHonda group both owned 26% stake in the Company. In 2010, it was reported thatHondaplanned to sell its stake in the venture to the Munjal family.
During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India fortheir fuel economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan 'Fill it Shut itForget it' that emphasized the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the company grow ata double-digit pace since inception. The technology in the bikes of Hero Honda for almost 26years (19842010) has come from the Japanese counterpartHonda.
Hero Moto Corp has three manufacturing facilities based atDharuhera,Gurgaon inHaryana and atHaridwar in Uttarakhand. These plants together are capable of churning out 3million bikes per year. Hero Moto Corp has a large sales and service network with over 3,000dealerships and service points across India.
The company has a stated aim of achieving revenues of $10 billion and volumes of 10million two-wheelers by 201617. This is conjunction with new countries where they can nowmarket their two-wheelers following the disengagement from Honda. Hero Moto Corp hopes toachieve 10 per cent of their revenues from international markets, and they expected to launchsales inNigeriaby end-2011 or early-2012. In addition, to cope with the new demand over thecoming half decade, the company was going to build their fourth factory in South India and their
fifth factory in Western India. There is no confirmation where the factories would be built.
VISION
The story of Hero Honda began with a simple vision - the vision of a mobile and an
empowered India, powered by its bikes. Hero Moto Corp Ltd., company's new identity, reflects
its commitment towards providing world class mobility solutions with renewed focus on
expanding company's footprint in the global arena.

TERMINATION OF HONDA JOINT VENTURE
In December 2010, the board of directors of the Hero Honda Group has decided toterminate the joint venture between Hero Group of India and Honda of Japan in a phasedmanner. The Hero Group would buy out the 26% stake of the Honda in JV Hero Honda. Underthe joint venture Hero Group could not export to international markets (except Sri Lanka) andthe termination would mean that Hero Group can now export. Since the beginning, the HeroGroup relied on their Japanese partner Honda for the technology in their bikes. So there areconcerns that the Hero Group might not be able to sustain the performance of the Joint Venture
alone.
The Japanese auto major will exit the joint venture through a series of off markettransactions by giving the Munjal family that held a 26% stake in the company an additional26%. Honda, which also has an independent fully owned two-wheeler subsidiary HondaMotorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) will exit Hero Honda at a discount and get over $1 billionfor its stake. The discount will be between 30% and 50% to the current value of Honda's stake asper the price of the stock after the market closed on Wednesday.
The rising differences between the two partners gradually emerged as an irritant.Differences had been brewing for a few years before the split over a variety of issues, rangingfromHonda's reluctance to fully and freely share technology with Hero (despite a 10-year
technology tie-up that expires in 2014) as well as Indian partner's uneasiness over high royaltypayouts to the Japanese company. Another major irritant for Honda was the refusal ofHeroHonda (mainly managed by the Munjal family) to merge the company's spare parts businesswithHonda's new fully owned subsidiaryHonda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI).
Honda will continue to provide technology to Hero Honda motorbikes until 2014 forexisting as well as future models.

THE CHAIRMAN (BRIJMOHAN LALL MUNJAI)
Instinctive from a young age, Brijmohan Lall made a rather unusual start in life. Around
the time when the freedom movement in India was taking shape in the late 1920s, he walked into
a newly opened Gurukul (Indian heritage school) near his home in Kamalia (now in Pakistan).
He was only six years old then.
Thus began an extraordinary tale of courage and perseverance. Brijmohan began his
business story after partition in 1947, when he and his brothers relocated to Ludhiana. The
family set up a company that provided poor people with basic transport (cycles). Three decades
later, as India evolved; he added a second crucial chapter - which visualized affordable and
technologically superior transport to millions of middle class Indians. The rest is history.
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
"Don't dream if you can't fulfill your dreams'' Brijmohan Lall Munjal is often fond of
saying. The founder and patriarch of the $3.2 billion Hero Group is your classic first generation
entrepreneur. He is a man who started small, dreamt big and used a combination of grit and
perseverance to create one of the country's largest corporate groups and the World's No.1 Two
Wheeler Company.
When Brijmohan and his brothers started out, there was no concept of organized dealernetworks. Companies just produced, and most dealers functioned like traders. Brijmohan
changed the rules of the business by trusting his gut instincts; introducing business norms that
were ahead of their time, and by investing in strategic relationships. Brijmohan built a series of
bonds and networks with hundreds of family members, vendors, dealers and employees. Much
like the Japanese keiretsu system, these networks are now the glue that holds.
8/12/2019 Sri HERO

"Thanks to the relationships that we have nurtured so passionately in the Hero Family,
the younger generations of some of our bicycle dealers have become dealers of Hero Moto Corp.
These relationships have survived through generations - through bad times and good times'' the
patriarch now reminiscences.
Besides bonding with his vendors and dealers, Brijmohan has been personally responsible
for kindling a spirit of entrepreneurship amongst his employees, and today, 40 of his former
employees are successful entrepreneurs.
STAYING AHEAD
Though not technically qualified in the conventional sense, few of his contemporaries
have understood the dynamics of technology better than Brijmohan Lall has. He could always
visualize the applicability of technology before others could. For example, in the 1980s, when all
two-wheeler companies in India opted for two-stroke engine technology, Brijmohan preferred a
four-stroke engine - a technology that dramatically increased fuel efficiency and reduced
maintenance costs. This technology was one of the biggest reasons for Hero Moto Corp's
stupendoussuccess.
A CORPORATE CITIZEN
A frugal upbringing and a value system modeled on the famous Gurukul system - which
stresses the sanctity of the teacher-pupil relationship - imbibed in Brijmohan a strong sense of
social commitment and responsibility.
There is a special place in his heart for Ludhiana, the city where he took roots. Today,
Ludhiana is a modern, bustling city, but Brijmohan has played no mean role in its evolution.
Several schools and educational institutions in Ludhiana owe their existence to the Munjal
family.
The Ludhiana Stock Exchange owes its existence to Brijmohan's vision as does the
Ludhiana Flying Club. He has also set up the not-for-profit Dayanand Medical College and
Hospital - an institute now rates as one of the best medical colleges in India, in terms of
infrastructure, quality of staff and alumni profile.
In and around Dharuhera, near the first Hero Moto Corp plant, Brijmohan and his family
have left their stamp of philanthropy. The Raman Kant Munjal Foundation, which Brijmohan set
up in memory of his eldest son, today runs a higher secondary school and a very modern and
well-equipped 100-bed hospital at Dharuhera. The group has also adopted numerous villages and
provides education, vocational training, drinking water, roads, streetlights and sewerage.

CORPORATE ANNOUNCEMENT GROWTH PROCESS SUCCESS
REPORT
Jan, 2012 Hero Moto corp. Rides On Highest-Ever Quarterly Sales To Report Its Best-Ever Turnover Of Rs. 6031 Crores In Q3, Fy12 PbtStands At Rs 724 Crore & Pat Stands At
Rs. 613 Crore Ebidta Margin For The Quarter At 15.6 Per Cent Volume Sales During The
Quarter At 15,89,286 Units, Growth Of 11.3%.
New Delhi, January 19, 2012: Riding on its highest-ever quarterly volume sales
of15,89,286 units, Hero Moto Corp Ltd (HMCL), the worlds largest two-wheeler manufacturer,
today reported its best-ever turnover (Net Sales & Other Operating income) of Rs. 6031.45
crores for the third quarter (October-December 2011) of FY12.
This is a growth of 16.85 per cent over the corresponding period in the last fiscal
(October-December 2010) of FY 11.The companys profit before tax for the period stood at Rs
723.79 crores, while profit after tax (PAT) for the period stood at Rs 613.03 crores. The
company has recorded an EBIDTA margin of 15.63 per cent.
Hero Moto Corp registered its highest ever quarterly sales of 15,89,286 two-wheelers in
the third quarter this fiscal, fuelled by consistent half million-plus unit sales in all the three
months of the quarter - 512,238 units in October, 536,772 units in November and 540,276 units
in December.
Dr. Brijmohan Lall, Chairman, Hero Moto Corp Ltd. Said, Last quarter has been
particularly satisfying as we have set new benchmarks of excellence. This should help us realizeour larger vision of building a truly global company with a strong Indian foundation. We are
optimistic about the New Year and will continue to provide the best of technology and products
to our customers.
Mr. Pawan Munjal, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Hero Moto Corp
Ltd., said It is heartening to see that our sales have been in excess of half a million two-
wheelers in every month of the quarter, thus further strengthening our leadership. We are well in
line to meet our guidance for over six million unit sales in the fiscal 2012.
In FY12 the industry has been facing constraints of rising fuel prices, high interest rates
and sharp rupee depreciation, leading to increased input costs impacting the margin. In these
challenging times, while the domestic industry is witnessing a growth of 15 per cent, we at Hero
Moto Corp are growing faster than that. We have also seen a softening in commodity prices of
late, which has, however, been off-set by the rupee depreciation. Therefore, while we expect
market demand for two-wheelers to remain stable, a lot will depend on the overall economic.

liquidity, but finds that the buyer typically in unable to meet the desired discount deadline. A
partial discount for whateverpayment the buyer makes helps the sellers cash flow partially.
FORWARD DATING
This is where the purchaser doesnt pay for the goods until well after they arrive. The
date on the invoice is moved forward.

Example:-purchase goods in November for sale during the December holiday season, but
payment date on the invoice is january7.
SEASONAL DISCOUNT
These are price reductions given when an order is placed in a slack period (example:
purchasing skis in April in the northern hemisphere or in September in the southern hemisphere).
On a shorter time scale, a happy hour may fall in this category. Generally, this discount is
referred to as X-Dating or EX-Dating.
An example of X-Dating would be: the buyer must pay within 30 days of the invoice
date, but will receive a 3% discount if they pay within 7 days after the end of the month indicated
on the invoice date plus an extra 10 days.
DISCOUNTS AND ALLOWANCES DEALING WITH TRADE
BARGAINING
Bargaining is where the seller and the buyer negotiate a price, which the buyer hopes in
lower than the marketed price.
TRADE DISCOUNT (FUNCTIONAL DISCOUNT)
These are payments to distribution channel members for performing some function.
Examples of these functions are warehousing and shelf stocking. Trade discounts are often
combined to include a series of functions, for example 20/12/5 could indicate a 20% discount for
warehousing the product, an additional 12% discount for shipping the product, and an additional
5% discount for keeping the shelves stocked. Trade discounts are most frequent in industries
where retailers hold the majority of the power in distribution channel (referred to a channel
captains).
TRADE-IN DISCOUNT
This can be a way of reducing the price. By offering more for a trade- in than it is
actually worth, the net effect is to reduce the effective price earned by the seller. The advantage
of this is it encourages replacement sales without altering the list price or the perceived value.
TRADE RATE DISCOUNT
A discount offered by a seller to a buyer in a related industry. For example, a pharmacist
might offer a discount for over-the-counter drugs to physicians who are purchasing them for
dispensing to the physicians own patients.

DISCOUNTS AND ALLOWANCES DEALING WITH QUANTITY
These are price reductions give for large purchases. The rationale behind them is to
obtain economies of scale and pass some (or all) of these saving on to the customer.
In some industries, buyer groups and co-ops have formed to take advantage of these
discounts. Generally they are two types:
CUMULATIVE QUANTITY DISCOUNT (ACCUMULATION DISCOUNT)
These are price reductions based on the quantity purchased over a set period of time. The
expectation is that they will implied switching cost and thereby bond purchaser to the seller.
NON-CUMULATIVE QUANTITY DISCOUNT
These are price reductions based on the quantity of a single order. The expectation is that
they will encourage large orders, thus reducing billing, order filling, shipping, and sales personal
expenses.
DEPENDENCE OF PRICE OF QUANTITY
An extreme form of quantity discount is when, within a quantity range, the price does not depend
on quantity:
If one wants less than the minimum amount one has to be pay for the minimum amountanyway.
If one wants an amount between two of the fixed amounts on offer, one has to pay for thehigher amount.
These also apply in the case a service with Quantity referring to time. For example, an
entrance ticket for zoo is usually for a day; if one stays
Shorter, the price is the same. It is a kind of pass for unlimited use of a service during a day,
where one can distinguish whether or not, when leaving and returning, one has to pay again.
Similarly a pass can be for another period.
In the case of long periods, it is obvious that one can leave and return without paying again.
If one has to buy more than one wants, we can distinguish between the surplus just not being
used, and the surplus being a nuisance, e.g. because of having to carry a large container.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
EVALUATION OF THE INDIAN TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY
Automobile, being the leader in product and process technologies of the manufacturing
sector, has been recognized as one of the major drivers of economic growth. The Indian
economy has been growing around 8% for the past few years. This growth has enabled an overall
change in the social status of the Indian population. Additionally, every year, many rural areas
and Tier-III cities are progressing to a higher status, opening immense growth opportunities for
the two- wheeler industry.
The two-wheeler market has emerged as the most vibrant and transforming segment of
the overall Indian automobile industry, witnessing an unprecedented growth. Rising rural
demand and fuel efficiency are among the major factors boosting the growth in the market.Despite the economic slowdown, the Indian automobile industry has been performing
consistently well, compared to other major markets of the world. The Indian two-wheeler market
possesses a significant potential, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 11% during FY
2011- 2015 to reach 17.8 Million Units by FY 2015-end.
The two wheeler industry (henceforth TWI) in India has been in existence since 1955. It
consists of the segments viz., scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. The increase in sales volume
of this industry is proof of its high growth. In 1971, sales were around 0.1 million units per
annum. But by 1998, this figure had risen to 3 million units per annum. Similarly, capacities of
production have also increased from about 0.2 million units of annual capacity in the seventies tomore than 4 million units in the late nineties.
The TWI in India began operations within the framework of the national industrial policy
as espoused by the industrial policy resolution of 1956(See government of India 1980, 1985,
1992). This resolution divided the entire industrial sector into three groups, of which one
contained industries whose development was the exclusive responsibility of the state, another
included those industries in which both the state and the private sector could be developed
exclusively under private initiative within the guidelines and the objectives lay out by the five
year plans (CMEI, 1990) and foreign investment respectively.
Set of industries. This set of controls on the economy in the seventies caused several firms to
a) Operate below the minimum scale of efficiency (henceforth MES),b) Under-utilize capacity, andc) Use outdated technology.
8/12/2019 Sri HERO
40/67

While operations below MES resulted from the fact that several incentives were given to smaller
firms, the capacity under-utilization was the result of
i)
The capacity mix being determined independent of the market demandii) The policy of distributing imports baed on capacity, causing forms to expand beyondlevels determined by demand so as to be eligible for more imports.
Use of outdated technology resulted from restrictions placed on import through the
provisions of FERA. Recognition of the deleterious effects of these policies led to the initiate of
reforms in 1975, which took on a more pronounced shape and acquired wider scope under the
New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1885. As part of these reforms-several groups of industries
were de-licensed and broad banding was permitted in select industries. Controls over capacity
expansion were relaxed through the specification of the MES6 of production for several
industries. Foreign investment was allowed in select industries and norms under the MRTP actwere relaxed. These reforms led to a rise in the trend rate of growth of real GDP from 3.7% in
the seventies to 5.6% in the eighties. However the major set of reforms came in 1991 in
response to a series of macroeconomic crises that hit the Indian economy in 1990-91. Several
industries were deregulated, the Indian rupee was devalued and made convertible on the current
account and tariffs replaced quantitative restrictions in the area of trade. The initiation of
reforms led to a drop in the growth of real GDP between1990-92, but this average at about 5.5%
per annum after 1992. The decline in GDP in the years after reforms was the outcomes of
devaluation and the concretionary fiscal and monetary
Policies in 1991 to address the foreign exchange crisis. Thus the industrial policy in Indiamoved from a position of regulation and right control in the sixties and seventies to a more
liberalized one in eighties and nineties.
The two-wheeler industry in India has, to a great extent been shaped by the evolution of
the industrial policy of the country. Regulatory policies like FERA and MRTP caused the
growth of some segments in the industry like motorcycle to stagnate. These were later able to
grow (both in terms of overall sales volumes and number of players) once foreign investments
were allowed in 1981. The reforms in
A) 1960-1969
The automobile industry being classified as one of importance under the industrial policy
resolution of 1948 was therefore controlled and regulated by the government. In order to
encourage manufacturing, besides restricting import of complete vehicles, automobile assembler
firms were phased out by 1952 (Tariff Commission, 1968), and only manufacturing firms
allowed continuing. Productions of automobiles were licensed, which meant that a firm required
a licensing approval in order to open a plant.

It also meant that the government determined a firms capacity of production. During
this period, collaborations with foreign firms were encouraged. Table 1 illustrates the fact that
most firms existing in this period had some form of collaboration with foreign firms. Table 1
also gives the details of the various firms that existed in the industry during this time period andthe products they manufactured.
B) 1970-1980
This was a period during which all the overall growth rate of the two-wheeler industry
was high (around 15% per annum). Furthermore, the levels of restriction and control over the
industry were also high. The former was the result of the steep oil price hikes in 1974 following
which two-wheelers became popular modes of personal transport because they offered higher
fuel efficiency over cars/jeeps. On the other hand, the introduction of regulatory policies such as
MRTP and FERA resulted in a controlled industry. The impact of MRTP was limited as itaffects only large firms like Baja Auto ltd. Whose growth rates were curbed as they came under
the purview of this act. However, FERA had a more far-reaching effect as it caused foreign
investment in India to be restricted. In the motorcycles segment FERA did not because
technological stagnation, as consequence of which, new products nor firms entered the market
since this segment depended almost entirely on foreign collaborations for technology. The
scooter and mopped segments on the other hand were technologically more self-sufficient and
thus there were two new entrants in the scooter segment and three in the moped segment.
C) 1981-1990
The technological backwardness of the Indian two-wheeler industry was one of the
reasons for the initiation of reforms in 1981. Foreign collaborations were allowed for all two-
wheelers up to an engine capacity of 100 CC. This prompted a spate of new entries into the
industry (Table1) the majority of which entered the motorcycle segment, bringing with them new
technology that resulted in more efficient production processes and products. The variety in
products available also improved after broad banding was allowed in the industry in 1985 as a
part of NEP. This, coupled with the announcement of the MES of production for the two-
wheeler industry, gave firms the flexibility to choose an optimal product and capacity mix which
could better incorporate market demand into their production strategy and thereby improve their
capacity utilization and efficiency. These reforms had two major effects on the industry. First,licensed capacities went up to 1.1 million units per annum overshooting the 0.675 million units
per annum target set in the sixth plan. Second, several existing but weaker players died out
giving way to new entrants and superior products.

D) 1991-1999
The reforms that began in the late seventies underwent their most significant change in
1991 through the liberalization of the economy. The two-wheeler industry was completelyderegulated. In the area of trade, several reforms were introduced with the goal making Indian
exports competitive. The two-wheeler industry in the nineties was characterized by
An increase in the number of brands available in the market which caused forms tocomplete on the basis of product features.
Increase in sales volumes in the motorcycles segment vis--vis the scooter segmentreversing the traditional trend.
The period between 1998-2001is considered to be significant in the history of Indian
two-wheeler industry, as it saw and end of at least three alliances. First to go was that between
Kinetic and Honda. In November 1998, after protracted negotiations, in which Honda tried to
take over completely, and the Firodias refused to surrender, Honda sold its shares to the Kinetic
Group. In 2000, Yamaha and Escorts parted ways with the Nandas-controlled Escort Group
selling shares to the Japanese manufacturer. During this period, the TVS group Suzuki
Motorcycle parted ways.
