TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
Highlights-January 2011
Quick Estimates of National Income released by CSO shows the real GDP growth at
8.0 percent during the year 2009-10. The Advance Estimates also expects the Indian
economy to grow at 8.6 percent during 2010-11. There is also a high expectation from
the agriculture sector.
As per IIP estimates, industrial growth slowed to the level of 2.5 percent in December
2010 from the growth of 18 percent in the same month of previous year.
The manufacturing sector logged 2 percent growth in IIP during December 2010; the
slowest growth since April 2009.
Volatility continues in the capital goods segment as the sector once again observed
major
contraction in output by 9.3 percent in December 2010. However, the cumulative

higher than the growth of 11.2 percent during the same period of 2009.
Six core infrastructure industries grew by 6.1 per cent in December 2010 after logging
a 21-month low growth. However, it was slightly low as compared to the numbers
recorded in the same month last year. In December 2010 growth was mainly seen in
crude oil sector, petroleum refinery sector and steel sector.
The WPI based inflation continues to remain on the higher side on account of the

OVERVIEW OF EQUITY MARKET IN INDIA
BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange)
SENSEX - THE BAROMETER OF INDIAN CAPITAL MARKETS
Introduction:
For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in India,
128 years of experience seems to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875 when
318 persons became members of what today is called "The Stock Exchange, Mumbai" by
paying a princely amount of Re1.
Since then, the country's capital markets have passed through both good and bad
periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties,
there was no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The Stock
Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index that subsequently became the
barometer of the Indian stock market.
Page 14BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted
construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30
constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The
base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in
both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media.
The Index was initially calculated based on the "Full Market Capitalization"
methodology but was shifted to the free-float methodology with effect from September 1,
2003. The "Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology of index construction is regarded
as an industry best practice globally. All major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX,
S&P and Dow Jones use the Free-float methodology.Due to its wide acceptance amongst the
Indian investors, SENSEX is regarded to be the pulse of the Indian stock market. As the
oldest index in the country, it provides the time series data over a fairly long period of time
(From 1979 onwards). Small wonder, the SENSEX has over the years become one of the
most prominent brands in the country. The growth of equity markets in India has been
phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market witnessed
heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear runs. The SENSEX captured all these
events in the most judicial manner. One can identify the booms and busts of the Indian stock
market through SENSEX.
SENSEX MILESTONES:
Robust portfolio investments and heavy fund buying lifted the Bombay Stock
Exchange's benchmark 30-share Sensex past the magical 12,000 mark. The Sensex
finally closed at an all-time high of 12,040 points.
This is the fastest 1,000-point gain by the Sensex. It only took 15 trading sessions for
the index to cross from 11,000 to 12,000. Interestingly, the Sensex has taken only 10
months to gain 5,000 points!
Page 15BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
The unprecedented Bull Run started on May 6, 2003 when the Sensex was at 3,001.21
level. In took just 67 trading sessions to cross the 4,000-mark and touch 4,026.27
points on August 19, 2003.
The rally continued and the index gained another 1,000 points in 54 trading sessions
to post 5,068.66 points on November 3, 2003.
Thereafter, it pierced through the 6,000 mark on January 2, 2004 in another 43 trading
sessions. The market then seemed to pause for breath as it took a whopping 370
trading sessions to cross the 7,000 mark, at 7001.55 on June 20, 2005.
From 7,000-mark, the sentiment turned distinctly firm following good liquidity that
played a significant role to determine the market direction and Sensex crossed 8,000-
mark in just 55 trading sessions at 8, 060.26 on September 8, 2005 and 54 trading
days to cross 9,000-mark at 9, 005.63 on November 28, 2005.
From 9K to 10K, it took just 48 trading sessions. The index crossed 10,000-mark on
February 6, 2006 at 10,002.83.
From 10K to 11K, it only took 29 trading sessions.
The Bombay Stock Exchange, the oldest stock exchange in Asia, was established in
1875 as the Native Share and Stock Brokers Association at Dalal Street in Mumbai. A
lot has changed since then when 318 persons became members upon paying Re 1.
In 1956, the BSE obtained permanent recognition from the Government of India -- the
first stock exchange to do so -- under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.
The Sensex, first compiled in 1986, is a 'Market Capitalization-Weighted' Index of 30
component stocks representing a sample of large and financially sound companies.
The BSE- Sensex is the benchmark index of the Indian capital markets.
The BSE Sensex comprises these 30 stocks: ACC, Bajaj Auto, Bharti Tele, BHEL,
Cipla, Dr Reddy's, Gujarat Ambuja, Grasim, HDFC, HDFC Bank, Hero Honda, Hindalco,
HLL, ICICI Bank, Infosys, ITC, L&T, Maruti, NTPC, ONGC, Ranbaxy, Reliance, Reliance

17,000, September 26, 2007- The Sensex on September 26, 2007 crossed the 17,000
mark for the first time, creating a record for the second fastest 1000 point gain in just 5
trading sessions. It failed however to sustain the momentum and closed below 17000. The
Sensex closed above 17000 for the first time on the following day. Reliance group has
been the main contributor in this bull run, contributing 256 points. This also helped
Mukesh Ambani's net worth to grow to over $50 billion or Rs.2 trillion. It was also during
this record bull run that the Sensex for the first time zoomed ahead of the Nikkei of
Japan.
18,000, October 9, 2007- The Sensex crossed the 18k mark for the first time on October

against 7,297 sessions taken to touch the 10,000 mark from 1,000 levels. In 2007 alone,
there were six 1,000-point rallies for the Sensex.
NSE (NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE)
The Organization :
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High
Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which recommended
promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to provide access to
investors from all across the country on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations,
NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India
and was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other stock
exchanges in the country.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation)
Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM)
segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in
November 1994 and operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
NIFTY:
The Nifty is relatively a new comer in the Indian market. S&P CNX Nifty is a 50

THEORETICAL
FRAME WORK
Technical analysis is the examination of past price movements to forecast future price
movements. Technical analysts are sometimes referred to as chartists because they rely
almost exclusively on charts for their analysis.
Moving Average:
A Moving Average is an indicator that shows the average value of a security's price
over a period of time. When calculating a moving average, a mathematical analysis of the
Page 23BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
security's average value over a predetermined time period is made. As the securities price
changes, its average price moves up or down.
There are several popular ways to calculate a moving average. Meta Stock for Java
calculates a "simple" moving average--meaning that equal weight is given to each price over
the calculation period.
Interpretation:
The most popular method of interpreting a moving average is to compare the
relationship between a moving average of the security's price with the security's price itself.
A buy signal is generated when the security's price rises above its moving average and a sell
signal is generated when the security's price falls below its moving average.
This type of moving average trading system is not intended to get you in at the exact
bottom nor out at the exact top. Rather, it is designed to keep you in line with the security's
price trend by buying shortly after the security's price bottoms and selling shortly after it tops.
The critical element in a moving average is the number of time periods used in
calculating the average. When using hindsight, you can always find a moving average that
would have been profitable. The key is to find a moving average that will be consistently
profitable. The most popular moving average is the 39-week (or 200-day) moving average.
This moving average has an excellent track record in timing the major (long-term) market
cycles.
Advantages:
The advantage of moving average system of this type (i.e., buying and selling when
prices break through their moving average) is that you will always be on the "right" side of
the market: prices cannot rise very much without the price rising above its average price. The
disadvantage is that you will always buy and sell some late. If the trend does not last for a
significant period of time, typically twice the length of the moving average, you will lose
your money.
Page 24BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
Support and Resistance:
Support and resistance represent key junctures where the forces of supply and demand
meet. In the financial markets, prices are driven by excessive supply (down) and demand
(up). Supply is synonymous with bearish, bears and selling. Demand is synonymous with
bullish, bulls and buying. These terms are used interchangeably throughout this and other
articles. As demand increases, prices advance and as supply increases, prices decline. When
supply and demand are equal, prices move sideways as bulls and bears slug it out for control.
What Is Support?
Support is the price level at which demand is thought to be strong enough to prevent
the price from declining further. The logic dictates that as the price declines towards support
and gets cheaper, buyers become more inclined to buy and sellers become less inclined to
sell. By the time the price reaches the support level, it is believed that demand will overcome
supply and prevent the price from falling below support.
Support does not always hold and a break below support signals that the bears have
won out over the bulls. A decline below support indicates a new willingness to sell and/or a
lack of incentive to buy. Support breaks and new lows signal that sellers have reduced their
expectations and are willing sell at even lower prices. In addition, buyers could not be
coerced into buying until prices declined below support or below the previous low. Once
support is broken, another support level will have to be established at a lower level.
Where Is Support Established?
Support levels are usually below the current price, but it is not uncommon for a
security to trade at or near support. Technical analysis is not an exact science and it is
sometimes difficult to set exact support levels. In addition, price movements can be volatile
and dip below support briefly. Sometimes it does not seem logical to consider a support level
broken if the price closes 1/8 below the established support level. For this reason, some
traders and investors establish support zones.
Page 25BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
What Is Resistance?
Resistance is the price level at which selling is thought to be strong enough to prevent
the price from rising further. The logic dictates that as the price advances towards resistance,
sellers become more inclined to sell and buyers become less inclined to buy. By the time the
price reaches the resistance level, it is believed that supply will overcome demand and
prevent the price from rising above resistance.
Resistance does not always hold and a break above resistance signals that the bulls
have won out over the bears. A break above resistance shows a new willingness to buy and/or
a lack of incentive to sell. Resistance breaks and new highs indicate buyers have increased
their expectations and are willing to buy at even higher prices. In addition, sellers could not
be coerced into selling until prices rose above resistance or above the previous high. Once
resistance is broken, another resistance level will have to be established at a higher level.
Where Is Resistance Established?
Resistance levels are usually above the current price, but it is not uncommon for a
security to trade at or near resistance. In addition, price movements can be volatile and rise
above resistance briefly. Sometimes it does not seem logical to consider a resistance level
broken if the price closes 1/8 above the established resistance level. For this reason, some
traders and investors establish resistance zones.
So, Here, Identification of key support and resistance levels is an essential ingredient
to successful technical analysis. Even though it is sometimes difficult to establish exact
support and resistance levels, being aware of their existence and location can greatly enhance
analysis and forecasting abilities. If a security is approaching an important support level, it
can serve as an alert to be extra vigilant in looking for signs of increased buying pressure and
a potential reversal. If a security is approaching a resistance level, it can act as an alert to look
for signs of increased selling pressure and potential reversal. If a support or resistance level is
broken, it signals that the relationship between supply and demand has changed. A resistance
breakout signals that demand (bulls) has gained the upper hand and a support break signals
that supply (bears) has won the battle.
Price Oscillator:
Page 26BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
The Price Oscillator displays the difference between two moving averages of a
security's price. The difference between the moving averages can be expressed in either
points or percentages.
The Price Oscillator is almost identical to the MACD, except that the Price Oscillator
can use any two user-specified moving averages. (The MACD always uses 12 and 26-day
moving averages, and always expresses the difference in points.)
Interpretation:
Moving average analysis typically generates buy signals when a short-term moving
average (or the security's price) rises above a longer-term moving average. Conversely, sell
signals are generated when a shorter-term moving average (or the security's price) falls below
a longer-term moving average. The Price Oscillator illustrates the cyclical and often
profitable signals generated by these one or two moving average systems.
Price Rate-Of-Change:
The Price Rate-of-Change ("ROC") indicator displays the difference between the
current price and the price x-time periods ago. The difference can be displayed in either
points or as a percentage. The Momentum indicator displays the same information, but
expresses it as a ratio.
Interpretation:
It is a well-recognized phenomenon that security prices surge ahead and retract in a
cyclical wave-like motion. This cyclical action is the result of the changing expectations as
bulls and bears struggle to control prices.
The ROC displays the wave-like motion in an oscillator format by measuring the
amount that prices have changed over a given time period. As prices increase, the ROC rises;
as prices fall, the ROC falls. The greater the change in prices, the greater the change in the
ROC.
Page 27BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
The time period used to calculate the ROC may range from 1-day (which results in a
volatile chart showing the daily price change) to 200-days (or longer). The most popular time
periods are the 12- and 25-day ROC for short to intermediate-term trading. These time
periods were popularized by Gerald Appel and Fred Hitschler in their book, Stock Market
Trading Systems.
The 12-day ROC is an excellent short- to intermediate-term overbought/oversold
indicator. The higher the ROC, the more overbought the security; the lower the ROC, the
more likely a rally. However, as with all overbought/oversold indicators, it is prudent to wait
for the market to begin to correct (i.e., turn up or down) before placing your trade. A market
that appears overbought may remain overbought for some time. In fact, extremely
overbought/oversold readings usually imply a continuation of the current trend.
The 12-day ROC tends to be very cyclical, oscillating back and forth in a fairly
regular cycle. Often, price changes can be anticipated by studying the previous cycles of the
ROC and relating the previous cycles to the current market
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
The Relative Strength Index ("RSI") is a popular oscillator. It was first introduced by
Welles Wilder in an article in Commodities (now known as Futures) Magazine in June, 1978.
The name "Relative Strength Index" is slightly misleading as the Relative Strength
Index does not compare the relative strength of two securities, but rather the internal strength
of a single security. A more appropriate name might be "Internal Strength Index."
Interpretation:
When Wilder introduced the Relative Strength Index, he recommended using a 14-
day Relative Strength Index. Since then, the 9-day and 25-day Relative Strength Indexs have
also gained popularity. The fewer days used to calculate the Relative Strength Index, the
more volatile the indicator.
Page 28BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
The Relative Strength Index is a price-following oscillator that ranges between 0 and
100. A popular method of analyzing the Relative Strength Index is to look for a
divergence in which the security is making a new high, but the Relative Strength Index is
failing to surpass its previous high. This divergence is an indication of an impending
reversal. When the Relative Strength Index then turns down and falls below its most recent
trough, it is said to have completed a "failure swing." The failure swing is considered a
confirmation of the impending reversal.
In Mr. Wilder's book, he discusses five uses of the Relative Strength Index:
1. Tops and Bottoms. The Relative Strength Index usually tops above 70 and bottoms
below 30. It usually forms these tops and bottoms before the underlying price chart.
2. Chart Formations. The Relative Strength Index often forms chart patterns such as
head and shoulders or triangles that may or may not be visible on the price chart.
3. Failure Swings (also known as support or resistance penetrations or breakouts). This
is where the Relative Strength Index surpasses a previous high (peak) or falls below a
recent low (trough).
4. Support and Resistance. The Relative Strength Index shows, sometimes more
clearly than price themselves, levels of support and resistance.
5. Divergences. As discussed above, divergences occur when the price makes a new
high (or low) that is not confirmed by a new high (or low) in the Relative Strength
Index. Prices usually correct and move in the direction of the Relative Strength
Index.
Trend lines:
In the preceding section, we saw how support and resistance levels can be penetrated
by a change in investor expectations (which results in shifts of the supply/demand lines).
This type of a change is often abrupt and "news based."
In this section, we'll review "trends." A trend represents a consistent change in prices
(i.e., a change in investor expectations). Trends differ from support/resistance levels in that
trends represent change, whereas support/resistance levels represent barriers to change.
Page 29BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
As shown in the following chart, a rising trend is defined by successively higher low-
prices. A rising trend can be thought of as a rising support level--the bulls are in control and
are pushing prices higher.
As shown in the next chart, a falling trend is defined by successively lower high-
prices. A falling trend can be thought of as a falling resistance level--the bears are in control
and are pushing prices lower.
Bar Chart:
The Bar chart is one of the most popular types of charts used in technical analysis. As
illustrated on the left, the top of the vertical line indicates the highest price at which a security
traded during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is
displayed on the right side of the bar and the opening price is shown on the left side of the
bar. A single bar like the one to the left represents one day of trading.

The chart below is an example of a bar chart for AT&T (T):
The advantage of using a bar chart over a straight-line graph is that it shows the high,
low, open and close for each particular day.
Candle stick Charting:
Candlestick charts have been around for hundreds of years. They are often referred to
as "Japanese candles" because the Japanese would use them to analyze the price of rice
contracts.
Similar to a bar chart, candlestick charts also display the open, close, daily high and
daily low. The difference is the use of color to show if the stock went up or down over the
day.

Investors seem to have a "love/hate" relationship with candlestick charts. People
either love them and use them frequently or they are completely turned off by them. There
are several patterns to look for with candlestick charts - here are a few of the popular ones
and what they mean.
.
Page 32BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
This is a bullish pattern - the stock opened at (or near) its low and
closed near its high
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
Point and Figure Chart:
The point & figure (P&F) chart is somewhat rare. In fact, most charting services do
not even offer it. This chart plots day-to-day increases and declines in price: increases are
represented by a rising stack of "X"s, while decreases are represented by a declining stack of
"O"s. This type of chart was traditionally used for intraday charting (a stock chart for just one
day), mainly because it can be long and tedious to create a P&F chart manually over a longer
period of time.
The idea behind P&F charts is that they help you to filter out less significant price
movements and to focus on the most important trends. Below is an example of a P&F chart
for AT&T (T):
Page 33BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
The opposite of the pattern above, this is a bearish pattern. It
indicates that the stock opened at (or near) its high and dropped
substantially to close near its low.
Known as "the hammer", this is a bullish pattern only if it occurs after
the stock price has dropped for several days. A small body along with
a large range identifies a hammer. This pattern indicates that a
reversal in the downtrend is in the works.
Known as a "star”. For the most part, stars typically indicate a
reversal and or indecision. There is a possibility that after seeing a
star there will be a reversal or change in the current trend.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
POPULAR CHART PATTERNS:
Technical analysts often use proven successful price patterns from great stocks as
tools to find new great stocks. Let's look at a few examples
Cup and Handle - This is a pattern on a bar chart that can be as short as seven weeks
and as long as 65 weeks. The cup is in the shape of a "U". The handle has a slight
downward drift. The right-hand side of the pattern has low trading volume. As the
stock comes up to test the old highs, the stock will incur selling pressure by the people
who bought at or near the old high. This selling pressure will make the stock price
trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for anywhere from four days to
four weeks, then it will take off.
Page 34BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
This pattern looks like a pot with a handle. It is one of the easier patterns to detect;
and investors have made a lot of money using it.
Head and Shoulders - This is a chart formation resembling an "M" in which a stock's
price:
- Rises to a peak and then declines, then
- Rises above the former peak and again declines, and then
- Rises again but not to the second peak and again declines.
The first and third peaks are shoulders, and the second peak forms the head. This pattern
is considered a very bearish indicator.
Page 35BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
Double Bottom - This pattern resembles a "W" and occurs when a stock price drops
to a similar price level twice within a few weeks or months. You should buy when the
price passes the highest point in the handle. In a perfect double bottom, the second
decline should normally go slightly lower than the first decline to create a shakeout of
jittery investors. The middle point of the "W" should not go into new high ground.
This is a very Bullish indicator.
The belief is that, after two drops in the stock price, the jittery investors will be out
and the long-term investors will still be holding on.

OVERVIEW OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Page 37BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
The global automotive industry is a highly diversified sector that comprises of
manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, retailers, original equipment manufacturers, aftermarket
parts manufacturers, automotive engineers, motor mechanics, auto electricians, spray painters
or body repairers, fuel producers, environmental and transport safety groups, and trade
unions. United States, Japan, China, Germany and South Korea are the top five automobile
manufacturing nations throughout the world. The United States of America is the world’s
largest producer and consumer of motor vehicles and automobiles accounting for 6.6 million
direct and spin-off jobs and represents nearly 10% of the S10 trillion US economy. The
automobile is one of the important industries in the world, which provides employment to 25
million people in the world.
The Indian automobile industry is going through a technological change where each
firm is engaged in changing its processes and technologies to sustain the competitive
advantage and provide customers with the optimized products and services. Starting from the
two wheelers, trucks, and tractors to the multi utility vehicles, commercial vehicles and the
luxury vehicles, the Indian automobile industry has achieved tremendous amount of success
in the recent years.
Page 38BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT

The market shares of the segments of the automobile industry
The automobile industry had a growth of 15.4 % during April-January 2007, with the
average annual growth of 10-15% over the last decade or so. With the incremental investment
of $35-40 billion, the growth is expected to double in the next 10 years. Consistent growth
and dedication have made the Indian automobile industry the second- largest tractor and two-
wheeler manufacturer in the world. It is also the fifth-largest commercial vehicle
manufacturer in the world. The Indian automobile market is among the largest in Asia.
The key players like Hindustan Motors, Maruti Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd, Tata Motors,
Bajaj Motors, Hero Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra have been dominating
the vehicle industry. A few of the foreign players like Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd., Skoda
India Private Ltd., Honda Siel Cars India Ltd. have also entered the market and have catered
to the customers’ needs to a large extent.Not only the Indian companies but also the
international car manufacturing companies are focusing on compact cars to be delivered in
the Indian market at a much smaller price. Moreover, the automobile companies are coming
up with financial schemes such as easy EMI repayment systems to boost sales.
There have been exhibitions like Auto-expo at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi to share the
technological advancements. Besides, there are many new projects coming up in the
automobile industry leading to the growth of the sector.
The Government of India has liberalized the foreign exchange and equity regulations
Page 39BASAVESWAR ENGNEERING COLLEGE BAGALKOT
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE SECTOR
and has also reduced the tariff on imports, contributing significantly to the growth of the
sector. Having firmly established its presence in the domestic markets, the Indian automobile
sector is now penetrating the international arena. Vehicle exports from India are at their
highest levels. The leaders of the Indian automobile sector, such as Tata Motors, Maruti and
Mahindra and Mahindra are leading the exports to Europe, Middle East and African and
Asian markets.
The Ministry of Heavy Industries has released the Automotive Plan 2006-2016,
with the motive of making India the most popular manufacturing hub for automobiles and its
components in Asia. The plan focuses on the removal of all the bottlenecks that are inhibiting
its growth in the domestic as well as international arena.
Growth in the Sector:
At present the industry is enjoying a growth rate of 14-17% per annum, with domestic
sales growth at 12.8%. The growth rate is predicted to double by 2015.
As it is seen, the total sales of passenger vehicles - cars, utility vehicles and multi-
utility vehicles - in the year 2005 reached the mark of 1.06 million. The current
growth rate indicates that by 2012 India will overtake Germany and Japan in sales
volumes.
Financing schemes have become an important factor in the growth of automobile
sales. More and more financial schemes are coming up with easy installment plans to
lure the customers.
Apart from domestic production, the industry is consistently focusing on the
automobile exports. The auto component segment is contributing a lot in the export
arena. The liberalized policies of the government are now making the companies go
for more and more exports.
The automobile exports are increasing year by year. According to the Society
of Indian Automobile Manufactures (SIAM) automobile exports in the last five years
are as follows:

population between the age group of 25 to 50 years, increasing affluence of the Indian middle class and heightened competition amongst automobile manufacturers, resulting in improved quality offerings, will continue to be the key drivers for the industry in terms of both market size and production capacities.
The 'Nano' effect: Penetration of cars in India at around 7 per thousand is even below countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, the launch of Tata's small car 'Nano', touted to be the cheapest in the world is likely to change that. The price will make cars affordable to thousands of families, thus greatly pushing up the density in the country and giving a big boost to volumes.
Increasing exports: The Indian auto industry has emerged as an export hub, on account of its low cost technical manpower and increasing focus on quality. To give a perspective, in the last five years (FY02-FY07), volume exports of Indian automobiles have increased by 41% CAGR, led by motorcycles (CAGR of 57%). This development has led to domestic players increasing their share of exports in the overall pie.
Infrastructure thrust: Improvement in road infrastructure has led to increased movement of goods through roadways. Around 65% of all the goods movement in the country takes place by roads as opposed to 55% a decade ago. Also, owing to the fact that an estimated 45% of CVs (commercial vehicles) plying on the roads are more than 10 years old, demand for HCVs (heavy commercial vehicles) is expected to grow by a steady rate in the long term.
Low interest rate regime: Close to 80% of the new vehicles being purchased in the country are financed, thus underlying the
coming under the WTO purview and the increasing free trade agreements (FTAs), competition is expected to rise multifold. Indian companies also have to contend with imports in the future. Already a number of global auto companies are introducing vehicles through the completely knocked down (CKD) route.
Taxation anomalies: Indian automobile industry is amongst the highly taxed industries as not only the final product bears heavy taxes but the cascading effect of duties on some key raw materials and components also hurts profit margins of auto companies. Also, multiple tax rules that exist in different states are eroding the comparative advantage of a large domestic market thus making the uniform implementation of VAT (Value Added Tax) necessary.

importance of a low interest rate regime to the fortunes of the industry. Though the interest rates have risen significantly in recent times, we believe it is likely to have only a small impact over the medium term as there has been a substantial rise in income levels.
Regulation led benefits: Implementation of pollution norms like restriction on the age of the vehicle plying on the road and overloading of commercial vehicles would seemingly aid higher volume growth of this segment.

Local market trends
Sales, particularly in the small car segment, will drive passenger car sales in the near
in term. However, within the next two years , capacity is expected to be twice the total
demand for cars.
With developments in the small car segment acquiring a degree of stability in terms of
price competition, the action is shifting to the mid-size car segment. sales in this segment will
pick up as new models come in and income levels rise but it is still some times till it comes
anywhere close to the economy sized segment.
What will also drive car sales is the wide availability of finance schemes by a variety
of banks and FI’s.
Sales in the used car market is also expected to do well as more an dmore older
models get replaced by newer ones at a faster pace. The coming in of Euro 3 and 4 norms will
also increase scrappage rates.

In view of expected surplus in the domestic market, India will emerge as one of the
leading car sourcing point in the Indian subcontinent.
Consumers will be the beneficiaries as a result of marketing war, as they will be
offerd technologically superior products at better price and terms and conditions. But the
customer has a risk of model discontinuation as a result of shake-out expected in the industry.
India offers a releatively low cast production base and is strategically positioned as a
launching base for third country export to Asia-pacific and European markets
Growth in road transport, increasing urbanization and privatization of public transport
will into growing demand for commercial vechile which is sited to reach three hundred
thousand by 2001, growth of disposable incomes will push up demand for two-wheelers to
4.5 million, of three-wheelers to 250 thousand and of passenger car to 420 thousand over the
same time span.
India has added advantage of an extensively segmented market and a well- developed
dealer network.
Growth of consumer finance leasing and hire-purchase options for vehicle dealers and
buyers also boost demand.
A well developed component industry offers opportunities for sourcing. The scope is
vast for foreign collaboration to produce branded models stressing on emission standards,
fuel efficiency, advanced features and contemporary styles.
