1.1 INTRODUCTION TO STUDY
The project is undertaken to measure the brand awareness level of TATA
NANO in an around the brand awareness level of a particular company’s brand is of vital
importance since it indicates the number of people who are aware of a particular brand in a
given period of time and it also highlights the effectiveness of the different advertising or
promotional tools used for the purpose.
Brand awareness is the consumers’ ability to recognise or recall (identify) the
brand within a given product category in sufficient detail to make a purchase decision. This
also means that the consumers can propose, recommend, choose, or use the brand. The
objectives of most advertising campaign are to create and maintain brand preference. The
first step is to make potential consumers aware of a brands’ existence.
One of the prominent goals of any business should be to build brand image
and awareness of its product, albeit in as cost – effective manner as possible. Consumer tends
to make purchasing decision based on peer recommendation and direct experience, as well
traditional advertising methods.
The project aims towards increasing the brand awareness since its one of the effective
tool to effect the final purchase decision and the volume of sales. I had used the topic to find
out or measure the brand awareness level among the customers and the ways to increase its
awareness.
The analysis was done with the help of the data collected through questionnaire taking
the sample size of 50 in an around. As the brand awareness is directly associated with
promotion strategy taken by the company its effectiveness is evaluated and the steps to
increase the awarness level of the customers are considered.
Therefore I have used various tools and techniques for the purpose of analysis of the
data and have tried to throw a clear light towards the level of brand awareness of Tata Nano
and the measures to increase its awareness and to evaluate the best media of communication
for the purpose.

2.4 ORGANIZATION CHART OF TATA MOTORS

2.5 MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Tata Motors owes its leading position in the Indian automobile industry to its strong focus on
indigenisation. This focus has driven the Company to set up world-class manufacturing units
with state-of-the-art technology. Every stage of product evolution-design, development,
manufacturing, assembly and quality control, is carried out meticulously. Our manufacturing
plants are situated at Jamshedpur in the East, Pune in the West and Lucknow in the North.
Jamshedpur:
Established in 1945, the Jamshedpur unit was the company's first unit and is spread over an
area of 822 acres. It consists of 4 major divisions - Truck Factory, Engine Factory, Cab &
Cowl Factories. The divestments in March 2000 hived off the Axle and Engine plants into
independent subsidiaries viz. HVAL &HVTL, respectively.
The Truck Division boasts of two assembly lines. The main assembly line, measuring 180m
in length has 20 work stations with a vehicle rolling out every 8 mins. The other line is
dedicated to special purpose vehicles and for meeting the requirements of the Indian Army.
The uniqueness of the Factory lies in its possession of
 Advanced facilities for manufacturing long members comprising of a set-up of 5000
Tones Hydraulic press line, cut-to-length line for strip preparation purchased from
M/s Kohler of Germany and a Camber Correction line.
 Facility for hot forming of axle halves with a 3000 tone press and heating furnace.
 Flexibility in manufacturing frames with an off line Proto-typing facility
While making technological advancements, the social responsibilities are also taken up
seriously. Tata Motors, Jamshedpur, plays an active role in serving rural communities
surrounding its Works through various community centres. While striving to create a culture
for self-help amongst the local populace, it has made significant progress in community and

social forestry, sustainable development of wastelands, road construction, rural health and
education, development of rural industries, water supply and family planning. A signatory to
the UN Global Pact, it also takes various initiatives in human rights protection, labour
standards, environmental issues, modern effluent treatment facilities, sanitation drives, soil
and water conservation programmes, tree plantation drives, etc.
Pune:
The Pune unit is spread over 2 geographical regions- Pimpri (800 acres) and Chinchwad (130
acres). It was established in 1966 and has a Production Engineering Division, which has one
of the most versatile tool making facilities in the Indian sub-continent. It houses a Vehicle
manufacturing complex which is one of the most integrated automotive manufacturing
centers in the country producing a large variety of individual items and aggregates. It is
engaged in the design and manufacture of sophisticated press tools, jigs, fixtures, gauges,
metal pattern and special tools, as well as models for the development of new ranges of
automobile products. Its capabilities have enabled Tata Motors to introduce new products and
improve existing ones without resorting to imports of dies or fixtures..
Lucknow:
Tata Motors Lucknow is one of the youngest production facilities among all the Tata Motors
locations and was established in 1992 to meet the demand for Commercial Vehicles in the
Indian market. The state of art plant is strongly backed by an Engineering Research Centre
and Service set-up to support with latest technology and cater to the complexities of
automobile manufacturing. Fully Built Vehicle business, which is one of the fast growing
areas of our business, is also established in Lucknow.

Uttarakhand:
The company has set up a plant for its mini-truck Ace and the passenger carrier Magic (based
on the Ace platform) at Pantnagar in Uttarakhand. The plant began commercial production in
August 2007. This is the company's fourth plant, after Jamshedpur (commercial vehicles),
Pune (commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles) and Lucknow (commercial vehicles). The
plant is spread over 953 acres, of which 337 acres is occupied by the vendor park.
State-of-the-art facilities include weld shops, paint shops, engine and gear box shops and
assembly lines. The company has invested over Rs.1000 crores in the plant. Vendors for the
vehicle have made additional investments to set up their plants in the vendor park adjoining
the plant. The operation has generated about 7500 direct and indirect jobs in the plant, among
vendors and service providers in the area.
Sanand:
Tata Motors’ plant for the Tata Nano at Sanand, in Ahmedabad district of Gujarat, marks the
culmination of the company’s goal of making the Tata Nano available to hundreds of
thousands of families, desirous of the car a safe, affordable and environmental friendly mode
of transport. The capacity of the plant, to begin with, will be 250,000 cars per year to be
achieved in phases, and with some balancing is expandable up to 350,000 cars per year.
Provision for further capacity expansion has also been incorporated in this location.

3.1 THEORY OF BRAND AWARENESS:-
Brand:-A brand is the identity of a specific product, service, or business. A brand can take
many forms, including a name, sign, symbol, color combination or slogan. The word brand
began simply as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a hot iron stamp.
A legally protected brand name is called a trademark. The word brand has continued to
evolve to encompass identity - it affects the personality of a product, company or service.
A brand is the personality that identifies a product, service or company (name, term, sign,
symbol, or design, or combination of them) and how it relates to key constituencies:
Customers, Staff, Partners, Investors etc.
Some people distinguish the psychological aspect, brand associations like thoughts, feelings,
perceptions, images, experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and so on that become linked to the
brand, of a brand from the experiential aspect.
The experiential aspect consists of the sum of all points of contact with the brand and is
known as the brand experience. The psychological aspect, sometimes referred to as the brand
image, is a symbolic construct created within the minds of people and consists of all the
information and expectations associated with a product or service.
People engaged in branding seek to develop or align the expectations behind the brand
experience, creating the impression that a brand associated with a product or service has
certain qualities or characteristics that make it special or unique. A brand is therefore one of
the most valuable elements in an advertising theme, as it demonstrates what the brand owner
is able to offer in the marketplace. The art of creating and maintaining a brand is called brand

management. Orientation of the whole organization towards its brand is called brand
orientation.
Careful brand management seeks to make the product or services relevant to the target
audience. Brands should be seen as more than the difference between the actual cost of a
product and its selling price - they represent the sum of all valuable qualities of a product to
the consumer. There are many intangibles involved in business, intangibles left wholly from
the income statement and balance sheet which determine how a business is perceived. The
learned skill of a knowledge worker, the type of mental working, the type of stitch: all may
be without an 'accounting cost' but for those who truly know the product, for it is these people
the company should wish to find and keep, the difference is incomparable.
A brand which is widely known in the marketplace acquires brand recognition. When brand
recognition builds up to a point where a brand enjoys a critical mass of positive sentiment in
the marketplace, it is said to have achieved brand franchise. One goal in brand recognition is
the identification of a brand without the name of the company present. For example, Disney
has been successful at branding with their particular script font (originally created for Walt
Disney's "signature" logo), which it used in the logo for go.com.
Consumers may look on branding as an important value added aspect of products or services,
as it often serves to denote a certain attractive quality or characteristic (see also brand
promise). From the perspective of brand owners, branded products or services also command
higher prices. Where two products resemble each other, but one of the products has no
associated branding (such as a generic, store-branded product), people may often select the
more expensive branded product on the basis of the quality of the brand or the reputation of
the brand owner.

 BRAND AWARENESS
Brand awareness refers to customers' ability to recall and recognize the brand under different
conditions and link to the brand name, logo, jingles and so on to certain associations in
memory. It helps the customers to understand to which product or service category the
particular brand belongs to and what products and services are sold under the brand name. It
also ensures that customers know which of their needs are satisfied by the brand through its
products.(Keller) 'Brand love', or love of a brand, is an emerging term encompassing the
perceived value of the brand image.
Brand awareness is a marketing concept that measures consumers' knowledge of a brand's
existence. At the aggregate (brand) level, it refers to the proportion of consumers who know
of the brand.
Brand awareness means the extent to which a brand associated with a particular product is
documented by potential and existing customers either positively or negatively. Creation of
brand awareness is the primary goal of advertising at the beginning of any product's life cycle
in target markets. In fact, brand awareness has influence on buying behaviour of a buyer. All
of these calculations are, at best, approximations. A more complete understanding of the
brand can occur if multiple measures are used.
A brand equity is the positive effect of the brand on the difference between the prices that the
consumer accepts to pay when the brand known compared to the value of the benefit
received.
There are two schools of thought regarding the existence of negative brand equity. One
perspective states brand equity cannot be negative, hypothesizing only positive brand equity
is created by marketing activities such as advertising, PR, and promotion. A second
perspective is that negative equity can exist, due to catastrophic events to the brand, such as a
wide product recall or continued negative press attention (Blackwater or Halliburton, for
example).

Colloquially, the term "negative brand equity" may be used to describe a product or service
where a brand has a negligible effect on a product level when compared to a no-name or
private label product. The brand-related negative intangible assets are called “brand liability”,
compared with “brand equity” .
Family branding vs. individual branding strategies
The greater a company's brand equity, the greater the probability that the company will use a
family branding strategy rather than an individual branding strategy. This is because family
branding allows them to leverage the equity accumulated in the core brand. Aspects of brand
equity includes: brand loyalty, awareness, association, and perception of quality.
Brand awareness can be measured by showing a consumer the brand and asking whether or
not they knew of it beforehand. However, in common market research practice a variety of
recognition and recall measures of brand awareness are employed all of which test the brand
name's association to a product category cue, this came about because most market research
in the 20th Century was conducted by post or telephone, actually showing the brand to
consumers usually required more expensive face-to-face interviews (until web-based
interviews became possible). This has led many textbooks to conceptualise brand awareness
simply as logo.
 Brand Promise
The marketer and owner of the brand has a vision of what the brand must be and do for the
consumers.

 Brand identity
A product identity, or brand image are typically the attributes one associates with a
brand, how the brand owner wants the consumer to perceive the brand - and by extension the
branded company, organization, product or service. The brand owner will seek to bridge the
gap between the brand image and the brand identity. Effective brand names build a
connection between the brand personality as it is perceived by the target audience and the
actual product/service. The brand name should be conceptually on target with the
product/service (what the company stands for). Furthermore, the brand name should be on
target with the brand demographic. Typically, sustainable brand names are easy to remember,
transcend trends and have positive connotations. Brand identity is fundamental to consumer
recognition and symbolizes the brand's differentiation from competitors.
Brand identity is what the owner wants to communicate to its potential consumers.
However, over time, a product's brand identity may acquire (evolve), gaining new attributes
from consumer perspective but not necessarily from the marketing communications an owner
percolates to targeted consumers. Therefore, brand associations become handy to check the
consumer's perception of the brand.
Brand identity needs to focus on authentic qualities - real characteristics of the value
and brand promise being provided and sustained by organisational and/or production
characteristics.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

The following details can be inferred after analysis with a simple size of 50 which
included customers, by questionnaire method to find out the brand awareness towards Tata
Nano with reference to Sterling Motors.
 The awareness level of Tata Nano in an around Solapur is quite high.
 The promotional strategy of Tata Nano is effective in the form of electronic media
and mass media
 Most of the customers are aware of advertising campaign that are being conducted by
Tata Nano.
 Brand awareness has a real and visible impact in the buying behaviour of the people.
 Though the customers are having good awareness levels regarding the product they
are not in a frame of mind to purchase it because of various reasons.
 Tata Nano is facing a tough competition from the competitors with the same kind of
products.

SUGGESTIONS
Suggestions are done on the basis of finding and analysis of data collected through
questionnaire:-
 In order to promote sale in highly competitive auto market attractive schemes such as
cash discount, complementary gift, lucky draws, etc. can be given to the customers.
 Customers should be contacted at a regular interval through phone calls and free
servicing of the cars to ask them if they are facing any problems with the car as
because post sale with the customers may be very important to maintain customers
satisfaction.
 Advertising plays a very important role n increasing the awareness and in reminding
the customer about the products and services offered by Tata Nano. Hence
advertisement about the firm and its products and services must be aired on local T.V
channels as well as in newspapers and magazines.
 Since the people tends to forget the advertising of a particular product a reminder
message has to be enforced in a regular interval and in a proper media which would
reach a large number of potential customers.
 As from the inference we can see that the most important criteria for selection of the
car is its performance which includes price, mileage, speed, braking efficiency,
maintenance, etc. There would be definite increase in the sale of the car if this point
would be looked into and improved.
