ABOUT THE SECTOR
Automobile is one of the largest industries in global
market. Being the leader in product and process
technologies in the manufacturing sector, it has been
recognized as one of the drivers of economic growth.
During the last decade, well-directed efforts have
been made to provide a new look to the automobile
policy for realizing the sector's full potential for the
economy. Steps like abolition of licensing, removal of
quantitative restrictions and initiatives to bring the
policy framework in consonance with WTO
requirements have set the industry in a progressive
track. Removal of the restrictive environment has
helped restructuring, and enabled industry to absorb
new technologies, aligning itself with the global
development and also to realize its potential in the
country. The liberalization policies have led to
continuous increase in competition which has
ultimately resulted in modernization in line with the
global standards as well as in substantial cut in
prices. Aggressive marketing by the auto finance
companies have also played a significant role in
boosting automobile demand, especially from the
population in the middle income group.

Two-wheeler segment is one of the most important
components of the automobile sector that has
undergone significant changes due to shift in policy
environment. The two-wheeler industry has been in
existence in the country since 1955. It consists of
three segments viz. scooters, motorcycles and
mopeds. According to the figures published by SIAM,
the share of two-wheelers in automobile sector in
terms of units sold was about 80 per cent during
2003-¬04. This high figure itself is suggestive of the
importance of the sector. In the initial years, entry of
firms, capacity expansion, choice of products
including capacity mix and technology, all critical
areas of
9
shape with the introduction of the New Economic
Policy (NEP) in 1985.
A GROWTH PERSPECTIVE
10
Motorcycle and moped had been experiencing almost
equal level of shares in the total number of two-
wheelers. In 2003-04, the share of motorcycles
increased to 78 per cent of the total two-wheelers
while the shares of scooters and mopeds declined to
the level of 16 and 6 per cent respectively. A clear
picture of the motorcycle segment's gaining
importance during this period is exhibited by the
Figures 1, 2 and 3 depicting total sales, share and
annual growth during the period 1993-94 through
2003-04.
11
India and region-wise projected growth trends for the
motorcycles and scooters are presented in Table 1.
The demand for mopeds is not presented in this
analysis due to its already shrinking
status compared to' motorcycles and
scooters.

The face of auto industry, that was redefined
with the invention of fuel-efficient four-stroke
engine technology, is all set to see dawn of a
new era in two-wheeler industry. It's not petrol
or diesel or any other fuel, but it's electricity
that have initiated a revolution in two-wheeler
industry in India. This will definitely give all the
major players a run for their money.

HERO HONDA PLANS RETAIL FINANCE
BUSINESS
New Delhi: To maintain its leadership position in the
decelerating two-wheeler industry, Hero Honda, the
largest two-wheeler company in the world, plans to
enter the retail finance market. According to sources
in the automobile industry, it is looking for a joint-
venture partner in the new business.
45
Two-wheeler sales have been hugely impacted by
the high interest rates and non-availability of finance
from banks. The industry sales through retail finance
has dropped to 60% from 75-80% a year back.
Industry sales have declined 8% to 72.48 lakh units
in the financial year 2008.
46
33,36,756 in fiscal 2007. Till February the total sales
witnessed a dip against previous year — it was March
that helped the company post at least a marginal
increase in annual sales.
47
in 100cc range, the price increase is limited to Rs
850," the company said in a statement.
48
Haridwar: Top two-wheeler maker Hero Honda Motor
Ltd said that it has set up an in-house team that
would look into whether the company needs to cut
capacity at any of its existing plants vis-a-vis its
future requirements. This, even as the company
announced investments of an additional Rs 150 crore
in the current fiscal to scale up capacity at its facility
here, which was inaugurated on Tuesday. A sum of
Rs 450 crore had been invested earlier in
the plant.

The tie-up will enable Fullerton India to offer Hero
Honda customers access to its financial services at
Hero Honda’s extensive dealer network. Through this
MoU, Fullerton India will set up its counter in each
Hero Honda dealership to offer finance to Hero
Honda customers. This will be like an extension
counter of the local branch of Fullerton India.
"We will not increase the prices of our vehicles till the
end of this year," Hero Honda Motors Chairman
Brijmohan Lall Munjal told reporters on the sidelines
of an auto industry event here today.

company statement said.

maintain sales momentum in a shrinking market “We
have created a special ‘rural vertical ’ to push growth
and this would spearhead our expansion in the rural
market,” Munjal said.
55
Munjal added that the company is tying up with new
partners, including local cooperative banks and
financing units to have a robust financial model.
Setting up of an independent retail financing arm is
an option, though Munjal said, no final decision has
been taken. “If necessary, we can do it. It is
something we have to look at closely. Hero Honda
already has a company ‘Hero Honda Finlease’. This is
currently not in consumer finance and we might even
look at this if the need be,” he said.
56
▪ Increasing urbanization, which creates a
need for personal transportation;
57
projects, we expect the demand to be affected only
five to seven years down the line.
CONCLUSION
The feeling of freedom and being one with the
Nature comes only from riding a two wheeler. Indians
prefer the two wheelers because of their small
manageable size, low maintenance, pricing and easy
loan repayments. Indian streets are full of people of
all age groups riding a two wheeler. Motorized two
wheelers are seen as a symbol of status by the
populace. Thus, in India, we would see swanky four
wheels jostling with our ever reliable and sturdy
steed: the two wheeler.
58
Bajaj Auto, Hero Honda, TVS, etc are the leading
manufacturers.
