C. Major Future Strategies1.Phasing out Zen in 2007
Alto launched to take over Maruti 800 in future
Phasing out of Maruti 800 faced lots of resistance from dealers all over
Another reason not phasing out was the fear of brand shift of customers to competitors’ product
Swift launched in May, 2005 to phase out Zen, since it had already two modifications
Major reason behind this was cannibalization of Wagon R & Swift due to overlapping of price Band
Rational decision to kill a product before it starts facing the decline stage in PLC

Maruti Suzuki’s presence in India (as on march 31st 2012)
Maruti Suzuki’s global presence(exports in 2011-12)
Maruti should improve it’s after sale service because its hits badly car market share.
Show room demonstration should be given at frequent time interval and feed back should be considered positively.
The marketing managers should make better relations with dealers and reputation of the company.
Customer considers quality as their first preference, so the company should give more stress on this.
