INDUSTRY PROFILE
NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY
Automobile dealers are the link between the manufacturer of the automobile and
the consumer. With their large inventories of cars, dealers provide consumers
with a wide array of vehicles to meet their needs at different price points.
GOODS AND SERVICES
The automobile dealer industry sells most of the automobiles, light trucks, and
vans that operate on the road today. Sales of these vehicles are subject to
changing consumer tastes, the popularity of the manufacturer's vehicle models,
and the intensity of competition with other dealers. Along with the sale of the car,
most dealers also sell additional automobile-related services to potential buyers.
These services include extended warranties, undercoating, insurance, and
financing. After market sales departments sell these services and other
merchandise after vehicle salespersons have closed a deal. Sales of these
packages greatly increase the revenue generated for each vehicle sold. Because
sales of automobiles fluctuate significantly, automotive dealers offer generous
incentives, rebates, and financing deals during slow periods to maintain high
sales volumes and to reduce inventories.
Performing repair work on vehicles is another profitable service provided in this
industry. Service departments at motor vehicle dealers provide repair services
and sell accessories and replacement parts. Although most service departments
perform repairs only, some dealers also have body shops to do collision repair,
refinishing, and painting. The work of the service department has a major
influence on customers' satisfaction and willingness to purchase future vehicles
from the dealer.

INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION
The automobile dealer industry is comprised of two segments. New car dealers,
often called franchised dealers, primarily sell new cars, sport utility vehicles
(SUVs), and passenger and cargo vans. These franchised dealers sell and lease
vehicles manufactured by a particular company—which may include several
brands.
Used car dealers comprise the other segment of the industry, and are sometimes
referred to as independent dealers. These dealers sell a variety of vehicles that
have been previously owned or formerly rented and leased. Improvements in
technology have increased the durability and longevity of new cars, raising the
number of high-quality used cars that are available for sale. Used car dealers by
definition do not sell new cars, but most new car dealers do sell some used cars.
According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, new vehicle sales
account for more than half of total sales revenue at franchised new car and new
truck dealers. These sales also generate additional revenue in other departments
of new car dealers, which are more profitable to the dealer. By putting new
vehicles on the road, dealers can count on new repair and service customers and
future trade-ins of used vehicles.
Independent used car dealers usually have smaller staffs than their franchised
counterparts. Most are stand-alone dealers, but increasingly nationwide
companies are opening large superstores across the country. These large used
car and truck dealers typically contract out warranty and other service-related
work to other dealers or to satellite service facilities.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In recent years, the sale of used cars has become a major source of profits for
many new car dealers in the wake of shrinking margins on new cars. To make
them acceptable to more customers, some dealers promote "certified pre-owned"
vehicles to customers who want a warranty on their used vehicle. This often
raises the price, but in return provides customers with peace of mind. In
economic downturns, the relative demand for these and other used cars often
increases as sales of new cars decline.
In an effort to achieve greater financial and operational efficiency and flexibility,
greater emphasis is being placed on aftermarket services, such as financing and
vehicle maintenance and repair, at both new and used car dealers. These
services typically provide large profit margins for dealers, and remain less
susceptible to economic downturns. They are also part of an effort to enhance
customer loyalty and overall customer service.
There has been a recent decline in the leasing of cars. With a car lease, a
customer makes monthly payments for the use of a vehicle over a period of time,
after which the vehicle is usually returned to the dealer. The major domestic car
makers have cut back their leasing programs significantly, instead focusing on
new car sales. Leasing is still expected to play a role in many new car dealers’
business plans in the coming years, however.
The increased use of the Internet to market new and used cars and light trucks
has also had a significant impact on automobile dealers. Through the Internet,
consumers can easily access vehicle reviews; view pictures of vehicles; and
compare models, features, and prices. Many Web sites allow consumers to
research insurance, financing, leasing, and warranty options. As a result,
consumers are generally better informed and spend less time meeting with
salespersons.

AUTOMOBILE DEALERS AND SERVICES IN INDIA
Today, the Indian auto industry is one of the largest industrial sectors with a
turnover that contributes to roughly 5 per cent of India's GDP. More importantly, it
contributes to employment of over 2 million people directly and indirectly to
another 10 million. The industry is important for national policy in that it
contributes 19 per cent of indirect taxes.
INDIAN MARKET SCENARIO
Until a decade ago, the auto sector in India had been a relatively protected
industry limiting the entry of foreign companies with high tariffs against imports.
Today, as part of a broader move to liberalise its economy, India has opened up
the sector to Foreign Direct Investments, and since then has also progressively
relaxed trade barriers.
Today, almost all of the major global companies present in India producing two-
wheelers and passenger cars in almost all segments.
For the passenger car market, this segment has been growing at a rapid pace.
INDUSTRY GROWTH DRIVERS
The passenger car penetration in India is at 8.5 vehicles per thousand
people absolute terms. It is among the lowest in the world. As per capita
GDP of a society grows, mobility needs for its population rapidly increase.
The proportion of young people, who are economically active, is rising in
the overall population. This has led to increasing urbanisation and the
need for mobility which translates into a higher demand for two and four
wheelers in India.
Bangalore Institute of Management studies Page 5
An Organisation Study on Mandovi Motors Pvt Ltd
Relatively good availability of money and a favourable interest rate regime
has also been a strong contributor to sustained demand.
The Indian auto industry is expected to get a boost from the road
development programmes that the country has undertaken especially the
Golden Quadrilateral programme and the NSEW corridors with feeder
roads.
India's competitiveness has enabled it to make a steady foray in
International markets with passenger car exports crossing the 100,000
mark in 2004. Multinationals use India as a manufacturing hub for small
cars in addition to growing exports from indigenous makers such as Tata
Motors and furthermore, India's two-wheeler manufacturers have also
stepped up their export plans and apart from export, have also announced
CKD operations in many new markets outside India.
As India forges free trade agreements (FTA) with Thailand, MERCOSUR
and other trading blocs, the industry has the potential to emerge even
stronger. However, against this optimism, the industry has felt the effects
of cost pressure.
The global movement of oil prices has dealt a setback to the country's
economic policy. While the threat of inflation seems to have been
temporarily brought under control, sustained fuel price hikes and the
consequent hike in operating costs for vehicle owners can cause a
depression in demand.
The past two years have also seen considerable pressure for the industry
from input costs. Prices of steel, which is a primary input for the industry,
have doubled over the last three years. The situation has forced players to
resort to innovative ways to control costs whilst meeting rising customer
expectations.

FUTURE TRENDS
Buoyed by recent performance, many manufacturers have rolled out plans for
increasing capacity. Prominent among them, Maruti, Hyundai and Tata - the
passenger car makers - have announced plans for substantial scaling up of
vehicle and engine production.
India is also emerging as a credible hub for R&D and vehicle development.
Global majors (among OEMs) and several global Tier One suppliers have scaled
up operations of their Indian technical centres and the quality and value of
development in India is witnessing noticeable improvement.
As infrastructure improves, both the government and industry will need to
pay even greater attention to road safety. The safety record of India, as far as
fatalities and serious injury is concerned is dismal. This will need to be
addressed at all points: products, infrastructure and user behaviour.
DEALER ROLE
The environment, looking ahead, is expected to greatly increase the
importance of contact with customers. Every manufacturer will need to strive
even harder to ensure that customer experience with every aspect of contact
with the product (through sales, after-sales service and product use and
ownership) will exceed their expectations. Here the role of the dealer and the
network is invaluable. The increased emphasis on brand and the importance of
relationship with the customer will further change the way' we conduct our
business.
Bangalore Institute of Management studies Page 7
An Organisation Study on Mandovi Motors Pvt Ltd
Increase in distribution reach will push up the sales of passenger cars, as it
brings a large number of households into the target population. Typically, these
households have the potential to purchase a car, but defer the decision due to
the lack of sales and service infrastructure. With most urban centres covered by
dealership networks, car manufacturers are looking for new dealerships in
smaller towns to increase penetration and sales in semi-urban and rural areas.
Current established dealers can help OEM's scale up their networks quickly by
setting up satellite dealerships along with service facilities in the neighbouring
semi urban/rural areas.
The importance of vehicle in India has reached that critical level wherein
second hand vehicle business is expected to emerge in a more organised form
than it is today. Availability of a good & credible second hand vehicle market will
not only help current owners upgrade to their next vehicle but will also bring a
large number of new low budget customers into the vehicle ownership cycle.
The time is ripe for dealerships to set up multi-brand second hand vehicle
trading and refurbishment facilities to expand the customer base in their
respective locations.
We are also witnessing a period of affordable cost for loans and easy availability
of vehicle financing. This too causes us to view the future with some optimism.
The Indian automobile industry has received positive response in the current
market scenario. The competition is getting tougher for all the small and big
players. To remain in the race, the biggies like Maruti, Hyundai and General
Motors are coming up with their latest models and at the same time introducing
several automobile service stations in India to draw the loyalty of the customers.
