[ In November 2007, Bajaj Auto acquired 14.5% stake in KTM Power Sports AG (holding company of KTM Sportmotocycles AG). The two companies have signed a cooperation deal, by which KTM will provide the know-how for joint development of the water-cooled 4 stroke 125 and 250 cc engines, and Bajaj will take over the distribution of KTM products in India and some other Southeast Asian nations.. Bajaj Auto said it is open to take a majority stake in KTM and is also looking at other takeover opportunities. On the 8th of January 2008, Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj confirmed the collaboration and announced Bajaj Auto's intention to gradually increase their stake in KTM to 25%.

PLATINA 125 PROFILE

We still think about why the Discover 125 was ever stopped? After all it was the largest selling 125cc motorcycle in the country. After the Discover era, Bajaj rolled out XCD in its place and soon replaced it with Platina. And now comes retuned Platina 125 replacing the engine. Four different bikes inside 4 years. Clear indication of things not going that smoothly for Bajaj in this segment?
The Platina series was developed on the Bajaj Wind 125 base with the CT100 engine and has been much popular after its launch in April 2006. At a catchy price tag of Rs 36000, Bajaj sold 5,00,000 units in first eight months. The 125cc version was launched in Sept 2008 with sales of more than 30,000 units per month. And the new Platina 125 is expected to carry on the baton from here. The Bike: The natural air cooled 124.6ccc engine is capable of giving you 8.5ps of power. It has a 5 speed gearbox (all down). It features a longer wheelbase and wider rear tyre than its 100cc version. The bike has a 0.5litre larger reserve capacity which doesnt matter much because the fuel tanks G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
capacity is still kept same at 13litres.However Platina 1265 weighs 3kgs lighter than its old version. Bright headlamps, Ride control switch along with a 12 V 5Ah Maintenance free battery are sure to give you some peace of mind. The ride control switch helps the rider to ride in Fuel Economy zone which is also indicated in the fuel gauge meter. Besides that a low fuel indicator is also provided. We didnt doubt its claimed top speed of 95kmph but we did try to find out its efficiency and were pretty satisfied with its mileage. It returned about 65kmpl in aggressive city riding conditions. Theres a good chance for that figure to improve if you ride it more sensibly. Performance: Not living upto anywhere living to expectations we had, Sadly Platina 125 is pretty much disappointing in this segment. Theres only a marginal increase in power from its older version or we say theres a good chance that you would mistake this vehicle to be a 100cc one. The bike doesnt feels planted at high speeds(70-80kmph) and further more you will have to settle with its dull cornering abilities thanks to its not so good Birla Roadmax tyres which can leave you craving for more grip on road. It has an upright seating position in line with other commuter bikes. Moreover unlike its 1000cc version it doesnt succeed in giving you a plush ride without sacrificing its handling. Another thing we noticed while test riding it was it looks plain and too much stressful riding it without Disc brakes. Platina 125 misses Disc brakes badly. There are no trip meters or tachometers on this bike. A deliberate attempt to keep its cost minimized. But it even with all those, it serves well the purpose of being a commuter bike. It has wide seats and is equipped with 125mm telescopic front and SNS (spring and spring) rear suspension. Handling is not that good when compared with other 125cc bikes. An electric start option is a great relief. Other prominent feature of this bike includes Anti friction bushes in front fork which improves suspension life and an auto choke. Technology At A Glance
1) Ride Control switch: This features has been specifically introduced to enable the rider to have a non distracting/non intrusive indication of an impending change between Economy zone cruising and Power zone cruising. It indicates optimum throttle opening for best mileage. 2) Ex-haus TEC: Worlds first, the ex-haus TEC (tec expands to torque expansion chamber) improves engine torque at low rpm and is optimized to get maximum performance from engine. 3) SNS Suspension: The spring n spring suspension ensures a comfortable ride every time you test it. The SNS rear suspension with longest travel in its class of 100mm, Bajaj used it on several other bikes as well like the DISCOVER 125 Specifications of Bajaj Platina 125:

Price Rs 41,331 (On road, gurgaon, Haryana)
Styling: Premium rugged looks, Contemporary graphics and stylish alloy wheels are the main highlights of Platina 125s looks. The Platina 100 when first launched in platinum silver color with silver chrome graphics was a huge hit. But here all black styling replaces this theme. Black grab rails, matt finished black silencer with chrome finished foot rest looks good on this bike. The only disappointing thing we noticed was that bike had given away its clear lens indicators and opted for orange ones. Also a new simpler looking fuel lid replaces old but somewhat more stylish fuel lid.
We were quick to enquire this only to get a disappointing answer that now even the Platina 100 would have same changes. Pretty Strange? Apart from that every other detail remains untouched. Even the speedometers and fuel gauge are the same ones. It would have been much more sensible if Bajaj would have striked some similarity between these two variants. BikeAdvice Verdict: Honestly speaking, Bajaj Platina 125 doesnt really live upto the Bajaj image. Although new and pretty descent one to ride, the bike G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
needs to undergo several more up gradations before it can really compete with any of the other bikes in the market. Many other 125cc bikes can give you better mileage and with better styling. Its definitely not recommended for long drives as alloy wheels are of medium quality and drum brakes work pathetic. Sometimes the bike would not start in spite of repeated kicking. But the only good thing about it is its price. Priced at just Rs 41,331 on road against Rs 39,399 (Platina 100) it is aimed at 100cc segment buyers who may look for cheap upgrade to 125cc.Infact its even cheaper than Hero honda splendor motorycle. While looking competition wise, the bike is expected to take on the like of Super Splendor and Suzuki Zeus. Go for it only if you are a Platina fan or for that matter a Bajaj fan. And more surprisingly the much awaited Platina LPG version seems to be stuck in the garage (like the Sonic) for a long time. Bajaj had already completed its test runs in cities like Ahemdabad and Sangli long time back. But if it comes on road, it will be a boon for many customers who would prefer more value for money bike. While it was still being tested, it had a 5Litre gas tank along with a 10 Litre petrol tank. Also there would be 20% drop in power delivery while it would incur 35-40% less running cost. With rising crude prices, the commercial success of such a bike is anybodys guess. But we still would have to wait for some time as Bajaj is believed to be sourcing some of the components for the LPG kits from Italian suppliers, is negotiating with the vendors to rationalise costs. Moreover there arent enough LPG pumps across the country as of now. 1.1 1.2 Bajaj Platina 125 all colours The newly launched Bajaj Platina 125cc is available in four stunning shades.

All these human activities will constitute marketing. The marketing mix refers to the maximum efforts. The combination, the designing and the integration of the elements, of, marketing into a program of mix which on the basis of appraisal of the market forces will best achieve the objectives of an enterprise. The effective marketing mix is determined by the firms management. The fundamental determinant of companies success is the caliber of its
management. Management may be defined as the process of planning, organizing, directing, and evaluating the efforts of a group of people towards a common goal.
MARKETING MIX It is an important tool used by marketing to design the process of marketing in an organization. It is a plan designed to analyses the marketing problems. The concept of marketing is useful in designing a market one strategy to meet the uncontrollable or to nullify there effects.
The marketing deals with the 4 important elements of marketing mix i.e., (4P's). 1. Product Mix 2. Place Mix 3. Price Mix 4. Promotion Mix NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The company has adopted the following steps in developing this new product. A new product is the culmination of a process, a series of steps beginning with generation of ideas and proceeding to the commercialization of full scale G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
marketing of the product. It is the general process that conceives, develops and brings to the market the new product. There are six logical steps in this creative process of new product development Viz.
1. Idea Generation: The most keenly watched segment of the booming bike market in India has to be the premium performance segment which very many bike manufactures have always lusted after and debated about getting into. However the cold hand of reality has made many shun it. Some have been brave but haven't done a proper focused job & the results obviously didn't do either the manufacture or the performance segment any good because it threw up wrong reasons for the segment not doing as well as it should have. That the India bike user had got used to power outputs of around 12bhp and was looking for more was becoming more apparent by the week and along with performance he was also demanding the latest trendy styles and detailing while crucially, relegating full efficiency not out of his orbit-lower down in this priorities behind his bike buying decision. Then there was the matter of style and biking being most exciting segment, every Indian bike failed to deliver, until Hero Honda tried to stir things up in the lions with its CBZ. This bike truly was a major departure from the standard Indian spec but it had staying with problems of different kind.
So you can see why no Indian motor cycle manufactures. TVS-Suzuki included dared to go in for a machine, which embodied the three hiking highlights it was expounded on in the introduction of this feature. Then along come Bajaj Auto & gives as sheer heart-attack in the most delightful way possible with a brace of performance machines, which have in one, fell stroke completely taken Indian hiking to an altogether new plane.
2. Screening: Screening is the 2nd stage of product development that eliminates the greatest number of ideas from further consideration. It is the critical part of the development activity. That is, even though the concept may be considered very marketable, it may be viewed as inappropriate for a firm that is lacking specific resources needed to produce and market it successfully.
Business analysis: The 3rd major step in the new product development is that of business analysis. It is an in depth study of the estimated economic feasibility of new product ideas. It is an attempt to predict the economic the economic consequences of the product for the company as a whole, it is assessing the profitability of a new product idea that helps management in deciding whether to introduce the new product, continue the development and the evaluation further or to drop the G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
idea. It is the evaluation of the product idea in-depth to determine its financial competitive manufacturing and marketing viability in an accepted business environment.
Steps in business analysis: The three major steps are a) Demand analysis b) Cost analysis c) Profitability analysis
3. Product development: During the development stage- The product idea is converted into the tangible physical! Product. This involves the design and formulation of the product and development of a technically, and commercially viable method of manufacture. Product development is a scientific and engineering task leading to the design and building of prototype working models on one hand and functional testing on the other. Bajaj Discover is a 100 CC Motorcycle built by Bajaj Auto. It debuted in 2006. Bajaj Discover is the latest 100cc bike from Bajaj Auto to take on TVS Star City. The cheaper version will come for Rs 34,500, while the higher version of G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
Bajaj Discover will cost Rs 36,000 (ex-showroom prices, Delhi). Bajaj hopes to sell about 75,000-80,000 units of Patinas a month. The Bajaj Discover is based on the CT-100, but with a revised gearbox, fresher body panels and optional alloy wheels. Bajaj also offers the Bajaj Discover 112 in the entry level segment. The entry-level segment is being strengthened by the arrival of the Bajaj Discover. The company will use it new Pantnagar plant to build the Discover. It is very much visible that all the body panels, fairings, electronics of this bike are borrowed from the successful Bajar Wind 125 Worldbike. It is debated whether it was a wise decision to cease the productions of Wind 125 & Caliber 115. Both were highly successful machines & were the top selling models in their respective segment when the production was cut. Both had exceptionally efficient & smooth Kawasaki K-Tec engies. The smooth engines were quite uncommon in India & were well received by the customers. The K-Tec engines are no longer in use & Bajaj instead uses indigenously developed powerplants. Bajaj Discover comes in platinum silver colour with dazzling chrome graphics. It has unique streak designed side panels and optoprism headlens with clear lens blinkers. Discover's levers, grips, mirrors and switchgear are of the finest quality, and add to its exquisiteness.
Manufacturer Bajaj Model Discover Model Motorbike Engine 99.27 capacity (cc) Transmission 4-DOWN Starting Kick Weight (kg) 112 Top speed 93 (km/hr) Fuel economy 74 (km/litre) Price (Rs) 38,621
Bajaj Auto has also announced plans to launch a dual-fuel bike which will run on CNG/LPG as well as petrol. The bike is under development.
4. Test marketing: Test marketing is the stage where the entire product and .marketing Program is tried out for the first time in a small number of welt chosen and authentic sales environment. Test marketing is normally the fast step in the development process before a new product is launched either on regional or an nation level, obviously, test marketing is a means of minimizing the risk of national or original launched-
5. Commercialization: Commercialization is the actual introduction of the product into the market place, with all of the related decisions and resource commitments. G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
Commercialization is to implement the decision taken at earlier stage & committing to the resources to implement new product strategy in other words, raw-materials and components parts contacts are to be made with the suppliers, channels of distribution are to be selected, manufacturing facilities equipment, process must be get in operation sales people to be hired and trained, advertising program is to be formulated.

CHAPTER-VIII Findings
In every business field problem is common. The problems faced by the manufacturer are as follows;
Heavy competition Competition is more in this field. In India competition is not only from
Indian Company but also from the foreign company.
Govt. policy In India every year the Govt. policies are changing according to their
economic situation. Some time it reduces the import tax, rules & regulations these all effect on Indian companies.
Competing in price To attract the customer the competitive companies are reduce prices of
their product, it will create less price competition.
Different consumer taste India is a heavy populated country. Its population across the boundary of
millions. In India different economic stages people are there, their taste also changes according to their economic condition.
Less production units As they have production plant at 2 places in the country, so they are
facing difficulties to cope up with the market demand. G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
Development of Indian economic system According to development of Indian economy, the economic stages of
Indian people also raised. The taste & mentality is turned from two-wheeler to four-wheeler. It will be effect very badly on Two-wheeler Company.
More fuel charges Now-a-days petroleum companies are raising the rate of fuel.
SUGGESTIONS
The dealer should improve the display two-wheeler in their showroom, so that the customers will be attracted towards the two-wheelers and also the dealer should highlight the advantage of the model when compared to other models. To improve the advertising strategy in the media most of the customers buy their two-wheeler after having a complete knowledge of the model. So the advertisement should give all the particulars about the model regarding fuel efficiency, cost factor and other specifications.
In general Bajaj Discover is eye catching and attractive with twin advantage
of power & mileage in different CC of vehicle. According survey, majority of getting information is popularity more No. Of response has been indicated. Because in the modern multidimensional economy the popularity has to play very important role. It is through popularity only that we come to know about various products Bajaj Pulsar popularity with catching slogan Definitely Male.
By seeking sales report & fuel efficiency test is compared study. We can
easily predict that Bajaj Discover is over all the best performance motorcycle in the country. Majority of the respondents rides bike regularly, naturally they are satisfied. If they are dissatisfied then they will simply replace it to get satisfied motorcycle. To conduct free service & to give discount for spare parts purchased during that period. Manufacturers should conduct the service comps at least once in a year at the dealer point & the companys service engineers should supervise these services. Here customers can have direct contact with the companys service engineers so that they can get their trouble cleared. G.V.P.P Govt First Grade College
The quality of the product must be improve, colour is one of the important aspects, now-a days availability of the various metallic colours if the colour is dislike by the failure in the market & quality of performance for trouble free maintenance. Increase the No. Of dealers allover the India & also increase the showrooms for providing the better service for the customers. The Co. should increase its production plants in many places of the country.
Conclusion
I Studied consumer behavior at Bajaj Sai motors. It was a really good opportunity for me to have a Project in this show room when taken the project work. After studying I came to know that the service customers are fully satisfied about the vehicle, The show room must give advertisement in paper Television etc. The customer should influenced by there promotion Activities. The show room is providing good facility to customers and also there are well working employees, who work promptly in good manner and the customer are satisfied by there facilities.
