Bajaj Auto Ltd (BAL), the largest two and three wheeler manufacturer in the country,

has a dominating 40% market share in scooters with 18.5% in un geared scooters, 25.2% in

BABASAB PATIL Page 10

Page 11: Bajaj1

. motor cycles, 53% in step-thrus, 8.3% in mopeds and a leading 78% market share in three-

wheelers in FY2001. Bajaj Auto has been viewed as a scooter major but with the change in

the structure of demand for 2-wheelers the company has tried to make its presence felt in

this key market by steadily ramping up motorcycle capacities, by introducing new models

and variants and pushing up marketing and sales. However the company is well behind Hero

Honda in the motorcycle segment and No.2 player in mopeds/ scooterettes segment after

TVS Suzuki.

The company has a wide array of models both in the two-stroke and four-stroke

configurations. In 1995 – 96 the sales were less than 90,000 motorcycles which was 8% of

the total volume of its two- wheeler sales which has grown to 4,22,016 units in FY2001

accounting to 50% of its two- wheeler sales. However, with the implementation of the latest

emission norms, it is slowly moving away from two-stroke vehicles and converting them to

four-stroke ones. The company is all set to increase its margins to double – digits through

concerted cost cutting, value engineering, gains from ‘ Total Productive Maintenance ‘

(TPM) and VRS.

The Indian two-wheeler sector is characterized by largest volumes amongst all the

segments in automobile industry. Though the segment can be broadly categorized into 3 sub-

segments viz; scooters, motorcycles and mopeds; some categories introduced in the market

are a combination of two or more segments e.g. scooterettes and step-thru’s. The market

primarily comprises five players in the two-wheeler segment with most of the companies

having foreign collaborations with well-known Japanese firms earlier. But most of the

companies are now planning 100% subsidiaries in India.

In the last four to five years, the two-wheeler market has witnessed a marked shift

towards motorcycles at the expense of scooters. In the rural areas, consumers have come to

prefer sturdier bikes to withstand the bad road conditions. In the process the share of

motorcycle segment has grown from 48% to 58% , the share of scooters declined drastically

from 33% to 25% , while that of mopeds declined by 2% from 19% to 17% during the year

BABASAB PATIL Page 11

Page 12: Bajaj1

. 2000-01.The Euro emission norms effective from April 2000 led to the existing players in the

two- stroke segment to install catalytic converters. This has been replaced by 4-stroke

motorcycles, which do not incur the additional cost of such converters and fierce competition

led to a fall in price of certain models

Bajaj Auto Ltd (BAL) has been viewed as a scooter major. Nevertheless, in the past

five years the company recognized the important role of motorcycles in its portfolio. The

scooter market is predominantly located in the Northern and Eastern India and the

rationalization of sales taxes to a uniform rate of 12% pushed the price of scooters by 6-8%

without offering any perceived value advantage to the customer. The company posted a total

2-wheeler sales of Rs1.05 mln in 2000-01 as against Rs1.24 mln in 1999-00 . The motorcycle

sales contributed to almost 50% of the total sales volumes accompanied by the decline in

geared scooter sales, which contributed, to only 33% of sales volumes. The company has

been introducing models in the middle end Rs.36, 000 – Rs. 48,000 and high end segments

viz; Rs. 48,000 and above but has found difficult to market such models in competition to

Hero Honda models in the similar price category.

However BAL is on its way to recapture the highly differentiated product market by

becoming a flexible and market – driven supplier of various models of two and three

wheelers at specific price – points.

Current Scenario

BAL has performed fairly in the current fiscal 2001-02 with the Net Sales going up

by 3.06% to Rs19720 mn HY ended September 2001 from Rs19133.3 mn in the

corresponding period previous year. The total expenditure has gone up by 5.3% with the

BABASAB PATIL Page 12

Page 13: Bajaj1

. material cost accounting for the major increase. The company has posted a growth of 69% in

PBT and the Net Profit has increased by 55% to Rs2644.7 mn from Rs1701.5 mn in the

corresponding period last year. The Net Profit Margin has also improved by almost 50.7%

from the half year ending FY2000-01 . The employee cost has fallen but the company will be

charging an equal expenditure of Rs 22.6 mn over the three quarters of the current fiscal

amounting to Rs 67.8 mn as the VRS expenditure incurred in June 2001

Business

BAL in its 2-wheeler segment posted volume wise sales of 87.2% of its total sales of

which scooters (both geared and ungeared) accounted for 42.3%, motorcycles for 34.9% and

around 10% in step- thrus in FY2001. The sales of scooters have fallen by 26.1% from

FY2000 but there has been a significant increase in the motorcycle sales by nearly 65.4%

since FY2000. The three – wheeler sales have improved marginally in FY2001.The

Company is targeting 25% market share in motor cycle’s segment during the current fiscal as

against 21% share it has cornered in FY2001.

Scooters

In the geared category BAL has ‘Chetak’, 'Classic' and 'Super' in the old ones and the

'Legend', 'Bravo' among the newer models .The ungeared segment consists of the 60CC ‘

Sunny Spice ‘ , ‘Spirit ‘ , ‘ Fusion ‘ and the 92cc ‘Saffire ‘ . The’ Legend NXT’ is a 4 stroke

geared scooter with a 9HP engine and the ‘Bravo’ being a two-stroke 150cc

scooter with a catalytic converter designed in line with the emission norms. The company has

launched utility versions of ‘Chetak ‘and ‘Super ‘at reduced prices. With the unprecedented

38% slump in scooter market the company faced a gradual market share loss to the other

players like Kinetic Engineering and TVS Suzuki.

Motorcycles

BABASAB PATIL Page 13

Page 14: Bajaj1

.

BAL has two basic motorcycle products - M80, a 75cc indigenously developed low

cost vehicle in the step-thru segment and Japanese motorcycles. BAL’s motorcycles are

positioned as four-stroke fuel-efficient vehicles. Among the Japanese ones, BAL has within

its fold, the 100cc ‘4S-Champion’, 125cc ‘KB 125’, 111cc ‘Caliber’ competing with Hero

Honda’s ‘ Passion ‘ and 100cc ‘Boxer’ with a variant ‘ Boxer City ‘ in the pipeline, all of

them at competitive prices.

In FY2001 the company launched the new range of bikes viz; 175cc ‘Kawasaki Bajaj

Eliminator ‘ the country’s first cruiser motorcycle and the two variants viz; 180cc and 150cc

‘Pulsar ‘(in the high –end segment) These models were introduced mainly in competition to

Hero Honda’s 157cc CBZ and TVS Suzuki’s Fiero. The company also launched in its 4-

stroke bikes range 100cc ‘ Kawasaki Bajaj Acer’ competing against Hero Honda Splendor

and ‘ Aspire ‘, ‘Caliber Croma ‘, ‘ Legend NXT ‘ (in the middle end segment).

Mopeds/Scooterettes

BAL has a small market share of 9.5% in FY2000 in this segment. Among its models

are the ‘Sunny Zip’, ‘Rave’ and the ‘Spirit’. Its ‘Bajaj Sunny’, a 50cc upgraded scooterette

model has been extremely successful .The other models include 74cc ‘ Rave ‘launched in

FY98 and ‘ Spirit ‘ 60cc, 2-stroke scooterette competing with leader TVS Suzuki’s ‘Scooty’.

BABASAB PATIL Page 14

Page 15: Bajaj1

. Three wheelers

BAL continues to dominate the three – wheeler market with over 73% market share

and sales of 1,55,000 units in which have fallen from around 85% two years back. The

company is trying to maintain its market share by creating environment-friendly vehicles and

has already launched the CNG model in Delhi BAL also launched its 4- stroke rear engine

CNG – auto rickshaw model in Mumbai during the year. It is testing the LPG model, which

will take off as soon as the government regulations permit. Apart from this the company also

plans to introduce a four-stroke version in auto-rickshaw and a goods carrier in both petrol

and diesel versions.

Exports

BAL is keen to export motorcycles through Kawasaki’s distribution network in Indonesia

and Argentina wherein the company planned to sell through their network. The company’s

exports registered a marginal decline from Rs1378 mn to Rs1351 mn i.e. 2%. The exports

consisted of 30,652 two and three – wheelers as against 32,730 (including CKD packs).

Bangladesh, Egypt, Peru, Iran and Sudan performed consistently well with lower exports in

Sri Lanka and Latin American markets. The total foreign exchange earned by the company

was Rs. 1,391 million. As against Rs1430 million.

Expansion

The expansion at both Akurdi and Waluj plants has been completed during FY99

taking total capacity to 2mn vehicles. BAL has also set up a third manufacturing plant at

Chakan near Pune with a capacity of 1mn vehicles. The company has planned for selling

through separate channels in case of its 2-wheeler and 3-wheeler segment .It has been

planning to streamline its vendor network by cutting down the number of suppliers by 50%

from current 800 during the current fiscal, intended to improve the efficiency of its supply -

chain management. BAL has been experimenting with higher dealer commissions on some

models in a bid to loosen the stranglehold of market leader Hero Honda in the motorcycle

segment. It introduced VRS II as a part of its man–power planning process at all its three

plant locations as the company is slated to bring down the workforce to 10,000 over the next

four years. The company also planned to commission a 20-MW capacity wind power plant

BABASAB PATIL Page 15

Page 16: Bajaj1

. (fourth phase with the other three being set up near Satara) with an investment of Rs1000 mn

in Ahmednagar district by entering into the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with MSEB

during current fiscal to be completed. The company expects to source its current power

requirements in-house and also avail of the benefit of sales tax incentives.

BAL has also been exploring the possibility of an equity tie-up or a marketing

alliance with a Chinese company for selling its three – wheelers in Chinese market. It has

also been planning a technical collaboration on high-end scooters with the Italian 2-wheeler

major ‘Aprilia. ‘The company has chalked out a strategy for co-existence with Kawasaki

wherein BAL would concentrate on developing products in the price range of Rs 30,000 –

60,000 and Kawasaki to offer a wider choice of products priced from Rs. 35000 up to Rs. 2.5

lakh.

Outlook

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bajaj has countered competition through predatory

price cuts; market expansions moves or take over threats. However both Honda and LML

have cannibalized the BAL market share and are challenging its leadership. The company has

remained less aggressive in its approach and idled away its cash reserves without proactively

deploying them in R&D , new models , takeovers or other risky ventures . In order to arrest

its declining market share, BAL has launched several new models during the past fiscal and

more are in the offing in each segment of the two-wheeler market. Moreover, the

management has recognized the need to utilize its surplus reserves for strengthening its

presence in the market by way of launching new models, expanding capacity and penetrating

new markets. Kawasaki has been developing India as an export hub for motorcycles between

50-200cc. The Company has invariably become the manufacturing base for Kawasaki and

accounts for 60% of the latter’s global sales. Though the company plans to introduce some

high-tech motorcycles from the Kawasaki range, it is trying to shed- off its image of “screw-

driver "company by developing its own range of motorcycles. The TVS – Suzuki break –up

is expected to pave the way for a new relationship with BAL and the new Kawasaki – Suzuki

alliance in the two-wheeler business. BAL needs to rediscover the spark of entrepreneurship

that made it the market.
