CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY PROFILE

The wheelThe invention of wheel is one of the greatest inventions in the history of

mankind . No other invention has changed the course of mankind in such a gigantic way.

Yet it is interesting to note that we are still unable to say clearly who invented this

wonderful thing .We can define wheel as a circular frame of hard material that may be

solid or partially solid which is capable of turning in an axle.

Tyre

A Tyre is a band that encircles the rim of the wheel and forms a thread that rolls

either on road or the ground. There are two main types of tyres. They are maid of metal

or rubber. Rail rod cars, which run on smooth steel rails ,use iron or steel tyres for rolling

resistance. The metal tyres is a flat hoop fitted tightly over the exterior of the wheel.

Besides low rolling resistance its other attributes are strength durability and resistance to

wear.

Free moving vehicles like bus, car, and aero planes need more friction to turn climb

accelerate and brake, so these use rubber tyres these are of two types.

Solid or cushion tyres in which rubber portion functions to carry load or absorbs

shock and resist cutting and abrasion

Pneumatic tyres in which the load is carried and the shocks are absorbed mainly by

the compressed air that fills the tyre. It is used for almost all of the free moving vehicles because of there great cushioning and there advantages.

Pneumatic tyres

Now almost all the free moving vehicles used pneumatic tyres. The pneumatic

tyres are designed to provide a flexible cover with impermeable lining to contain a

restrain the compressed air .The cover is provided with the rubber tread portion and it is

designed to withstand the cutting and abrasive wear of the road contact and to protect the

tyre against puncture and loss of air. Such a structure is distinct from solid or cushions

tyres, no capacity in it to carry load or absorbs shocks. It is entirely depends on the

contained compressed air to enable it to function

Outline of tyre industry

There are many big tyre industries like Goodyear, Dunlup, Michelin, Seiberling

and Good rich whose persistent effort made up by the tyre industry. In India the tyre

industry was born in 1926 with the establishment of the first tyre company, the

Dunlop tyre company.

The tire industry operates in an environment which is dynamic and driven by the

performance of the many other structures. The performance of the segment is linked to

that of the automobile and surface transport sectors; the last decade saw an average

growth of 9%. However, in 2001, the growth rate was a mere 2.6% because the

automobile industry has declined by 7.5%. The sales of the medium and heavy

commercial vehicles were held back by a sharp slow down due to raising fuel prices and

weaker economic growth. These factors adversely affect the industry as the sector

account for a fourth of replacement market. The competition is severe and tyre mergers

are planning to raise the capacity utilization from the present level of 72%. The global

majors like Michelin and Pirelli have differed their plans to invest in India.

The Indian tyre industry comprises of 40 tyre companies with

53 factories. In fact only 12 companies account over 85% of the total production. India

exports to more than 50 countries Indian cross ply tyres have excellence acceptance in

developed countries. The industries have come a long way from the Tyre with Cotton

to the latest development. Green Tyres being introduced in 1978, radicalization stands

as the most important innovation in the tyre technology. History of Indian Tyre Industry

The tyre industry began to grow in India during 1930s. The

growth of tyre industry in India may be divided into three phases. The first phase, the

multinationals came to India and started selling tyres. First amount them was firestone

followed by other multinationals like Good year, Dunlop, etc..

In the second phase, the multinationals started their production in India

and became the first generation tyre company. Dunlop was the first, which started their

domestic protection in Calcutta in 1936.

The third phase of Indian tyre industry began, when the Indian

companies started producing tyres, which came to be called second generation tyres

important amount them are MRF tyres, Premier tyres, Good year, CEAT, etc. they started

their production in 1960s and later in 1970s third generation tyres started their

production. The main third generation tyres are Apollo tyres, Vikrant tyres, JK tyres,

Modi tyres.

The tyre companies which started after 1970s and the companies which

are yet to start production are classified under the head fourth generation tyres, Notable

among them are S.Kumar tyres, Rado tyres and Birla tyres.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Brief history of premier tyres

The premier tyres were incorporated in 19 th October 1959. The foundation stone was

laid by none other than Jawaharlal Nehru, the then prime minister of India, on 18 th

January 1960. The company was established in collaboration with the Uni Royal Inc.

USA. The company started its commercial production in May 1962 with production

capacity of 30 million to tone per day. The company was owned by the Desai group,

Mumbai. This is the first tyre company owned by the Indian. During the seventies and

eighties company was running in a huge profit. The main reason for this was lack of competition. The truck tyre named Lug Master was a gigantic success in the market the

tyre whose market price was about Rs. 4500 was available in the black market for

Rs.8000.

But gradually the profit of the company decline. More and more players entered in

the market. The competition became intense .the profit of the company gradually decline

and by the year 1987, the company was in loss. In the year 1987, a board called Cozy

judicial board was formed .This is board for the industrial Finance and Reconstruction.

This was called in because the Premier tyres became the sick unit. The purpose of this

board is to revive the sicks units. The board frames the conditions for the revival of the

sick units.

The company is considered sick if below two conditions are

satisfies:

Existence of the company should be for more than 7 years.

Continues cash loss for 3 years and the Net worth of the company are negative.

The stake holders are affected when the company goes sick. In 1987 this company

was referred to the board. The board studied conditions of the company. Based on the

study the board will prepare the plan. It pumped in the funds, sourced finance, etc. But

there was nothing positive and still the company was under the loss.

The Government of Kerala requested Apollo tyres to take over the unit and bring it

back to form. In 1995 the Premier tyres was taken over by the Apollo tyres. At that time

the share capital of Premier tyres was 3.25 crores. Apollo tyres introduced another 10

crores. Then it became Apollo subsidiaries. This Premier tyre is thereafter known as PTL

enterprises. Nearly 76% of the shares were held by the Apollo tyres. After the take over

in 1995, Apollo tyres initiated their management practices in the company. The ultimate

aim was to make the company into a profit making one. Even with the existing machinery

and all, the production was increased from 35 tones to 80 tones (daily production) many

measures were taken to increase the production and reduce the cost of production.

According to the agreement of lease, the goods produced with the machines of

Premier tyres will be brought into the market and sold only in the name of Apollo tyres.

The raw materials will be Apollo tyres and the PTL will produce all the tyres and other

products and then Apollo will market all the products thereby manufactured in the name

of Apollo tyres

The Premier tyres had a debt of 42 crores taken as loan form the outsiders and

other financiers. Apollo tyres settled all the loans by 1998 and now the company is going

on in a profit. This is a rare case in India, where a sick unit is being bought to shape

within five years time.

Apollo Tyres

Apollo Tyres Ltd. One of the leading manufacturing companies in India was

named after the Greek Sun God. Apollo has created a remarkable identity. For itself has

become synonymous with the brand. In its constant pursuit for excellence, Apollo has

come a long way up the corporate gradient. The history of Apollo, the company can be

traced back to 70s when hard nosed MNCs and Indian tyre majors dominated the tyre

industry.

ATL is the flagship of the Apollo group. It is formed in 1972 by BST

manufactures Ltd, where Raunag Singh as the founder and chairman. Post restructuring

in the group, the management of the company had been handed over to Raunag Singhs

son Onkar S Kanwar. Operations began in 1977 with setting up of the plant to

manufacture truck and tractor rear tyre at the annual capacity of 0.42mm tyres. The plant

was set up at Perambra near Kochi in Kerala was with a technical collaboration of

General tyres International Company, the fourth largest company in the world.

Kerala plant began its commercial production in the year 1977. The companyincurred heavy losses from 1977 to 1981. it was 1982 that Apollo formulated and put into

action a series of pragmatic profit generating policies generating policies geared lower

run around.

The Kerala plant has been besieged by lower problems in the past. In August/September

1995 the plant had to be shut down for a period of two weeks following the go slow

tactics and disruptive actions by the workers. In the financial year 1999 too, the plant

faced labour unrest for a prolonged period.

To reduce dependence on the single plant, ATL put up its second plant in Bards,

Gujarat in 1991 at an annual capacity of 0.68mm tyres. ATL is entitled to certain fiscal

benefits till the year 2005 on its Baroda plant. In February 2000, continental increase in

the growth of Germany picked up by 15% stake in the company.

A plant was installed at Limda in capacity of 65 lakhs per annum commencing

production in September 1977 in the record time of 16 months. BIFR (Board of Industrial

Finance Reconstruction) handed over the Premier Tyres Ltd. To ATL on 17 th April 1995

with the manufacturing base to emerge as No.1 tyre company in India.

As a part of further expansion plans, the new tube plant has been installed at

Ranjangaon near pune in the state of Maharashtra, the commercial production of which

began in April 1996. Recently the company recognized itself using profit centre concept

for all locations and divisions. This has been done with a view to enhance the efficiency

and effectiveness of the organization by monitoring the profitability of the units,

especially in quality. Apollo tyres have a clear vision to become a leader in tyre industry

globally and domestically.

Years ago, with a view to position itself in the Premier tyre segment, Apollodecided to price its brand reasonably higher than its competitors, it has targeted a

customer segment for which price was almost a non-issue. The criterion was the product

benefit, premium branding lead to the development of a niche that compromised those

who looked for his best tyre and not necessarily the best bargain.

Believing fiemly in philosophy of always holing for new answers, todays tyre

plant Apollo has all along envisioned action that would challenge the conventional

wisdom of tyre industry. Call it holistic thinking or innovative marketing strategies, as a

corporation. Apollo has always thrived on huge challenges so as to turn them around to

its advantage.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION

In Indian tyre industry, capacities are concentrated in the

hands of a few large players with top four tyre companies accounting for over 77 per cent

of industry market share. The industry is raw material intensive with raw material

constituting over 55 per cent of the sales turnover and 70 per cent of production cost, of

which rubber accounts for the major share of the material cost. The main inputs natural

rubber smoked sheets and technically specified natural rubber (TSNR) account for 42 per

cent of raw material cost of tyres. The demand and growth for the tyre industry depends

on primary factors like overall GDP growth, agricultural as well as industrial production

and growth in vehicle-demand. It also depends on the on secondary factors like

infrastructure development and prevailing interest rates. In India the primary factors have

sustained in the last three years helping the sector to emerge as a winner. Even the

secondary factors have helped a lot; the only concerns are rising interest rates on theautomobile segment and increased rubber prices.

With the limits of my study it can be generalized that the

majority of the employees in APOLLO TYERS, are satisfied with their job. Even though

the management is adopting a lot of measures to increase job satisfaction the employees

are still not happy with the workload, welfare and motivational measures, training

facilities in the organization etc. By providing proper training to its staffs and uniform

distribution of the workload among its workers the organization can increase theemployees job satisfaction
