Chapter 1: Economy Analysis:
1.1 Introduction
Since the country's car industry is essential to both macroeconomic extension and innovative
headway, it has generally been a solid gauge of how the Indian economy is performing. Because of
India's huge extent of youngsters and extending working class, the bike class overwhelms the
business with regards to volume. Likewise, the extending revenue of organizations in examining the
country markets added to the area's development. The interest for business vehicles is ascending
because of growing traveler and coordinated factors areas. Recent fads, like the jolt of vehicles,
particularly three-wheelers and little traveler vehicles, are supposed to fuel market extension later on.
India is the world's biggest farm hauler creator, second biggest transport maker, and third biggest
maker of weighty trucks, giving it a critical situation on the lookout for weighty vehicles. In FY22,
22.93 million autos were delivered every year in India.
India is a critical exporter of vehicles and expects fast product improvement in the close to term.
Furthermore, various government-supported programs, including the Car Mission Plan 2026, the
scrappage strategy, and the creation connected motivating force program in the Indian market, are
expected to raise India to a place of noticeable quality in the worldwide two-and four-wheeler
markets by 2022.
Some of the recent/planned investments and developments in the automobile sector in India are as
follows:
Maruti Suzuki India stated in November 2022 that it intended to invest about Rs. 7,000 crore
(US$ 865.12 million) in a range of projects this year, including the construction of its new
factory in Haryana and the launch of new models.
2,191,090 units of passenger vehicles*, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles were
produced in total as of October 2022.
With 136,700 units sold in October 2022, Maruti Suzuki was India's top automaker.
Hero MotoCorp had the biggest two-wheeler sales in the market in October 2022 with 507,587
units sold, giving it a market share of 32.31%.
Maruti Suzuki introduced the Grand Vitara in September 2022, with a starting price of Rs.
10.45 lakh ($12,915).
Hero MotoCorp announced in September 2022 that it will invest US$60 million in California-
based Zero Motorcycles in order to work together on the creation of electric motorcycles.
2
Tata Motors announced plans to invest Rs. 24,000 crore ($3.08 billion) over the following five
years in its passenger vehicle division in April 2022
SAIC Motor Corp. of China, which owns MG Motors, revealed plans to raise US$ 350-500
million in private equity in India in March 2022 to pay for the company's future needs, which
include expanding into electric vehicles.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the installation of 1,000 fast charging stations
across the state of Karnataka was signed in February 2022 by the electric two-wheeler
manufacturer Ather Energy and the state's electric supply companies (ESCOMs).
Tata Power and Apollo Tyres Ltd. established a strategic agreement in February 2022 for the
construction of 150 public charging stations around India.
To increase its EV manufacturing capacity, two-wheeler EV manufacturer HOP Electric
Mobility, a diversified business venture of Rays Power Infra, plans to invest Rs. 100 crore (US$
13.24 million) during the next two years.
The amount of money invested in EV start-ups reached a record high in 2021, rising by
approximately 255% to reach Rs. 3,307 crore (US$ 444 million).
TVS Motor Corporation and BMW Motorrad announced a collaboration in the two-wheeler
electric vehicle market in December 2021, with ambitions to release their first electric two-
wheeler within the next two years.
Hyundai announced plans to invest Rs. 4,000 crores (US$ 530.25 million) in R&D in India in
December 2021, with the aim of releasing six EVs by that year. To achieve India's EV goals, a
cumulative expenditure of Rs 12.5 trillion (US$ 180 billion) in vehicle manufacturing and
charging infrastructure would be needed until 2030.
Government Initiatives:
The Indian government supports foreign investment in the auto industry and has authorised
100% FDI under the automatic method. The Indian government has recently taken a number
of initiatives, including:
3
The government changed the National Policy on Biofuels – 2018 in July 2022. The deadline
for blending 5% biodiesel and 20% ethanol into gasoline by 2030 was pushed back to 2025–
2026.
As of July 15, 2022, oil firms operating under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas had
established a total of 532 EV charging stations under the FAME India Programme I & II
(MoPNG).
Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, announced plans to launch
Bharat NCAP, India's own programme for evaluating car safety, in February 2022.
As part of the government's strategy to boost domestic vehicle production and draw in new
investment, 20 automakers, including Tata Motors Ltd, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, Mahindra &
Mahindra, Hyundai, and Kia India Pvt. Ltd., were chosen to receive production-linked
incentives (PLI) in February 2022.
The 20 automakers have suggested an investment of about Rs. 45,000 crore ($5.95 billion)
overall.
The following projects were outlined by the government in the Union Budget 2022–2023:
To make EVs more appealing to potential buyers, the government implemented a battery-
swapping policy that will allow depleted batteries to be switched out for charged ones at
specific charging stations.
The Prime Minister's Gati Shakti Plan would add 25,000 kilometres to India's national
highways between 2022 and 2023.
Under the PLI programme for automobiles, the Union Government added more than 100
cutting-edge technologies in November 2021, including alternative fuel systems like
4
compressed natural gas (CNG), Bharat Stage VI compliant flex fuel engines, electronic control
units (ECU) for safety, advanced driver assistance systems, and e-quadricycles.
After receiving the necessary approvals from the Supreme Court of India, the government
intends to make it essential for automobile manufacturers to create flex-fuel engines, according
to an announcement made by Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, in
September 2021.
The Indian government announced a PLI programme in September 2021 for vehicles and auto
parts valued at Rs. 25,938 crore ($3.49 billion). By 2026, this programme is projected to attract
investments totaling more than Rs. 42,500 ($5.74 billion) and generate 7.5 lakh new
employment in India.
The Vehicle Scrappage Policy, introduced by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi in August
2021, aims to gradually phase out obsolete, environmentally hazardous automobiles.
Incentives of US$ 3.5 billion are proposed by the Indian government as part of a revised
programme to promote the production and export of clean technology vehicles over a five-year
period until 2026.
India opened the NATRAX, the fifth-largest high-speed track in the world and the longest in
Asia, in July 2021.
As of June 2021, the FAME-II programme had spent Rs. 871 crore (US$ 117 million),
supported 87,659 electric automobiles through incentives, and approved 6,265 electric buses
for various state/city transportation projects.

Chapter 2: Industry Analysis:
Despite the fact that cars have been around for more than 150 years, it has only been recently that we
have become aware of the alarming environmental effects of the automobile sector.
Political
Safety Regulations
Driving a car can be incredibly risky. Although we like to think of aeroplanes as being dangerous, the
likelihood of getting in a vehicle or motorbike accident is much higher than that of being in a plane
crash.
As a result, governments all over the world impose stringent safety standards on the automobile sector.
These laws not only set down particular standards for the construction of motor vehicles, such as
seatbelts to guarantee passenger safety, but they also have an impact on those who operate them. This
makes it more challenging to start a new company in the automotive industry, assisting established
firms in keeping their market share. You may get the best services by requesting SR22 quotations, and
roadside assistance may prove to be crucial for safety.
Emissions Policies
Politicians are very interested in the effects that automobiles have on the environment in addition to
regulating the safety-related aspects of the automotive sector. The majority of automobiles,
motorcycles, and buses are propelled by fossil fuels like diesel and petroleum, which when burned,
release a number of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. The amount of carbon dioxide created by
driving a car, or carbon emissions, is a serious issue with motor vehicles. Governments are therefore
very interested in the emissions data for both new and used automobiles. This is just another legal
hurdle that automakers must clear in addition to other environmental worries.
6
Economic
Globally speaking, people are making an increasing amount of money each year. This implies that
they have more money to spend on expensive products like electronics and, obviously, cars! So, it is
not surprising that demand for automobiles is steadily rising. This is particularly true in emerging
nations, like several governments in Africa, where recent economic progress has only recently made
it possible for lower-income households to acquire their own car. In the end, more cars will be sold
as a result of the rising demand for motor vehicles, boosting profits for those working in the sector.
Sociocultural
Popularity of Driving
There is no denying that driving is becoming more and more popular from a sociocultural standpoint.
Families all over the world are increasingly likely to own one or more cars; in fact, owning one or
more cars is already the standard in industrialised nations like the United States, Canada, and a large
portion of the European Union. It's not like most of us can't get by on bicycles and buses; rather, we
choose to drive motor cars just because that's what is expected of us, and that's part of the problem.
Technological
7
Self-Driving Cars
The development of self-driving technology is without a doubt the most significant technological
change to affect the car industry. A significant shift in how we commute is coming, with some
automakers, like Tesla, already providing vehicles that are almost entirely driverless. The automobile
sector may not inherently benefit or suffer from this, but conventional vehicle makers may need to
adjust their business plans in order to remain competitive.
Improved Safety
A significant technological development in the automotive sector, aside from the introduction of self-
driving automobiles, is the safety of motor vehicles in general. Wearing seat belts wasn't made
mandatory until the 1980s, and lower-end automakers didn't start installing airbags in all of their
vehicles until the early 2000s. Industry-wide standards are rising, and the underlying technology is as
well. Recently, automakers have started equipping their vehicles with emergency braking assist
systems, greatly reducing the possibility of front-end collisions.
Legal
Copyright Issues
Curiously, the question of copyright also impacts the automotive business. Copyright, trademark, and
patent laws may provide protection for specific aspects of a car, including its branding and even its
shape. Although you don't hear much about legal battles in the auto industry, they do happen.
Chinese automakers openly copying the designs of their Western competitors has become a growing
problem in recent years. For instance, there has been significant contention over some suspiciously
similar Rolls Royce Phantom replicas made by the Chinese company Geely. Although the overall
impact of this copying on the sector is unknown, it is undoubtedly a problem.
Environmental
Carbon Emissions
As was mentioned previously, one of the most harmful environmental pollutants produced
by the automotive industry is carbon dioxide. Using the greenhouse effect, it has a significant
8
impact on the global climate. The problem of carbon emissions has become more widely
known in recent years. We still use motor cars on a daily basis, but it's unclear if governments
will be compelled to take stronger action to combat global warming. This could mean
outlawing the use or production of all motor vehicles, or at the very least shifting to electric
ones.
For many of us, driving a car is now a part of daily life. We are implicitly expected to use
cars, and we can now afford to buy and fuel them more than ever before. The environmental
costs of driving, however, are significant, and it appears that switching to electric vehicles
may be necessary to protect the environment.

10
Threats of New Entrants
Newcomers in the Automotive Industry - By using a reduced pricing strategy, cutting costs, and
presenting new value propositions to the market, Major brings innovation and new ways of doing
things while applying pressure to Tata Motors Ltd. To maintain its competitive edge, Tata Motors Ltd
must overcome all of these obstacles and erect strong barriers.
How Tata Motors Limited can tackle the Threats of New Entrants
By developing fresh goods and services. Innovative products not only attract new customers
but also give existing customers an incentive to continue purchasing from Tata Motors Ltd.
By establishing economies of scale to reduce the fixed cost per unit.
Increasing resources and funding for research and development. In a competitive market
where established competitors like Tata Motors Limited constantly set the norms, new
entrants are less likely to join. It greatly reduces the window of remarkable earnings for new
businesses, discouraging them from entering the market.
The majority of businesses in the Car Manufacturers - Large sector purchase their raw
materials from a variety of sources. Suppliers with a monopoly position can limit the market
margins Tata Motors Limited can make. Strong consumer goods suppliers use their
negotiation position to pressure major auto manufacturers to accept higher costs. Higher
supplier negotiating power generally has the effect of decreasing overall profitability for Car
Manufacturers - Major.
How Tata Motors Limited can tackle Bargaining Power of the Suppliers
11
third-party manufacturers have substantially less negotiating leverage than Nike and Wal-
Mart.
Buyers can be a picky bunch. People want to spend as little money as they can while purchasing the
best products. Long-term profitability for Tata Motors Ltd was impacted by this. Tata Motors
Limited's clients have greater negotiating power and are better able to demand rising discounts and
incentives as their customer base becomes more exclusive and powerful.
How Tata Motors Limited can tackle the Bargaining Power of Buyers
By establishing a sizable consumer base. In two ways, this will be advantageous. Buyer
bargaining strength will be lessened, and the company will have the chance to streamline its
sales and production procedures.
By creating fresh things quickly. Consumers frequently seek offers and discounts on well-
known products, thus if Tata Motors Limited keeps developing new products, it may reduce
customers' ability to negotiate. The introduction of new models will also stop existing Tata
Motors Limited customers from switching to its rivals
Industry profitability decreases when a new good or service satisfies a comparable client need in a
different way. Hardware storage drives can be replaced with services like Dropbox and Google
Drive. Whenever a substitute product or service offers a value proposition that is significantly
different from the current offerings in the market, it poses a serious threat.
12
How Tata Motors Limited can tackle the Treat of Substitute Products / Services
By focusing on the customer's fundamental needs rather than what they are purchasing.
Price reductions and a decline in the industry's overall profitability will result from fierce competition
among the existing companies. Tata Motors Ltd competes fiercely in the Car Manufacturers - Large
sector of the market. The total long-term profitability of the company is affected by this competition.
How Tata Motors Limited can tackle Intense Rivalry among the Existing Competitors in Auto
Manufacturers - Major industry
By gaining scale, it can compete more effectively. It can also work with rivals to expand the
market rather than just competing for a small market.
