HONDA IN INDIA

Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., (HSCI) was incorporated in December 1995 as a

joint venture between Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Japan and Siel Limited, a

Siddharth Shriram Group company, with a commitment to providing Honda’s

latest passenger car models and technologies, to the Indian customers. The

Honda City, its first offering introduced in 1997, revolutionized the Indian

passenger car market and has ever since been recognized as an engineering

marvel in the Indian automobile industry. The success of City as well as all its

other models has led HSCI to become the leading premium car manufacturer

in

India. The total investment made by the company in India till date is Rs.

1620 crores, further investment of RS. 1000 crore is planned and being

currently invested for the coming second plant in Rajasthan. The company

has a capacity of manufacturing 100,000 cars.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 15

Page 16: SAGAR OS.docx

Showcase Manufacturing Facility

HSCI’s state-of-the-art manufacturing unit was set up in 1997 at Greater

Noida, U.P with an investment of Rs. 450 crore. The green-field project is

spread across 150 acres of land. (Over 6,00,000 sq. m.).

The initial installed capacity of the plant was 30,000 cars per annum, which

was thereafter increased to 50,000 cars on a two-shift basis. The capacity

has further been enhanced to 1, 00,000 units annually in February 2008. The

capacity expansion was necessitated by the excellent performance of all the

Honda models, particularly the growing demand for City in India. Several

modifications were done by the company with the objective of offering

higher quality products to its customers, faster and quicker. The expansion

process also included expansion of the covered area in the plant, from

1,07,000 sq. m. to 1,31,794 sq. m.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 16

Page 17: SAGAR OS.docx

HSCI currently produces the All New City, Civic and Accord models in India

and the premium SUV, CR-V is sold as a fully Imported unit from Japan.

ABOUT HONDA

The history of the Honda Motor Company began with the vision of one man -

Soichiro Honda. His dream was personal mobility for everyone.

Soichiro Honda founded the Honda Motor Company in 1948. In the same

year, he designed and engineered the first product of this company - a 50 cc

motorized bike on a bicycle frame - in his small shed at Hamamatsu.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 19

Page 20: SAGAR OS.docx

'Challenging the Limits' is a phrase commonly heard across the length

and breadth of Honda. It was made popular by its founder, Soichiro Honda,

who knew that his fledgling company had to out-think and out-perform its

competitors every step of the way in order to survive. After all, he started

out at a time when his country was devastated by war.

Soichiro's vision was international in character. His desire was to lead the

world in technology, and make a significant contribution to the creation of a

better society. As a result, most of the products that Honda developed

started out by making a difference. Whether it was the CVCC engine in the

sixties or the solar powered car of the nineties, they all sought to challenge

and overcome conventional wisdom.

World's Toughest Training Tracks- No story of Honda is complete without

the mention of motor sports. Honda started participating in racing at the

highest level much before it found international acclaim as a manufacturer.

Once again, it was Soichiro Honda who was the driving force. He considered

the highly competitive world of motor sports as the ideal training ground for

his people. Through racing, Honda engineers learnt to accomplish more than

they ever dreamed possible within limited amounts of time. They become

quicker at responding to the technological challenges that arise in the

commercial world.

Honda's belief in the benefits of racing is sincere and unwavering. The

company has invested millions of dollars in building two world-class racing

circuits. The Suzuka opened its gates in September 1962. Located in

northern Japan, it has become an integral part of the Grand Prix calendar.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 20

Page 21: SAGAR OS.docx

The Twin Ring Motegi, on the other hand, is a racing circuit for fans.

Inaugurated in August 1997, it offers an oval-shaped Super Speedway, an

Active Safety Training Park and the extremely popular Honda automobile

museum.

Honda is already, and literally, making big strides in the development of the

world's first humanoid robot. Christened ASIMO, it is designed on the

presumption that if a robot could walk like a human, it may be able to work

like one. Honda is also taking to the skies with its very own aircraft

technology. It took a 30-man team only six years to develop a prototype.

Together, these diverse ideas prove the one central maxim that is dear to

everyone at Honda - Challenging the Limits.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 21

Page 22: SAGAR OS.docx

INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

Over a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobile industry has

been driving its own growth through phases. The entry of Suzuki Corporation

in Indian passenger car manufacturing is often pointed as the first sign of

growth. Since then the automobile sector witnessed rapid growth year after

year. By late-90's the industry reached self reliance in engine and

component manufacturing from the status of large scale importer. With the

Indian middle class earning higher per capita income, more people are ready

to own private vehicles

THE OVERVIEW

India’s car market has emerged as one of the fastest growing in the world.

The number of cars sold domestically is projected to double by 2010, and

domestic production is skyrocketing as foreign makers are setting up their

own production plants in India. The government’s 10-year plan aims to

create a $145 billion auto industry by 2016.

According to McKinsey, the auto sector could be worth $375 billion by 2015,

up from $65 billion in 2002. McKinsey thinks India could capture $25 billion

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 24

Page 25: SAGAR OS.docx

of this amount. Out of 400 Indian suppliers, 80 percent have the ISO 9000

certificate—the international standard for quality management.

Domestic Sales

The cumulative growth of the Passenger Vehicles segment during April 2011

– March 2012 was 12.17 percent. Passenger Cars grew by 11.79 percent,

Utility Vehicles by 10.57 percent and Multi Purpose Vehicles by 21.39

percent in this period.

The Commercial Vehicles segment grew marginally at 4.07 percent. While

Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles declined by 1.66 percent, Light

Commercial Vehicles recorded a growth of 12.29 percent.

Exports

Automobile Exports registered a growth of 22.30 percent during the current

financial year.

The growth was led by two wheelers segment which grew at 32.31 percent.

Commercial vehicles and Passenger Vehicles exports grew by 19.10 percent

and 9.37 percent respectively. Exports of Three Wheelers segment declined

by 1.85 percent.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 25

Page 26: SAGAR OS.docx

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. It 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

Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd., Skoda India Private

Ltd. have also entered the market and have catered to the

Customers need to a large extent. 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.

Scope of Indian Automobile Sector

The Indian automobile industry is going through a phase of rapid change and

high growth. With new projects coming up on a regular basis, the industry is

undergoing technological change. The major players are expanding their

plants and focusing on mass customization, mass production, etc.

INVESTMENT IN AUTO SECTOR

Nearly every automobile company is investing at a higher rate than ever

before to achieve a high growth trajectory. The overall investment in the

sector has been increasing quite rapidly. It is expected that by the end of

2012 Indian automobile sector will be investing a huge amount as Rs. 30,000

crores.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 26

Page 27: SAGAR OS.docx

Like Maruti Udyog has plans of investing Rs. 6,500 crores; the Tata Motors is

coming up with more investment of Rs. 2,000 crores in its compact car

project. Not only the Indian companies but also foreign players like Hyundai

are coming up with the investment of more than Rs. 3,800 crores in India

and many more.

LESSONS FROM ORGANIZATION

Practical training is one of the important aspects of study of B.B.A (Bachelor

of Business Administration) for getting theoretical & practical knowledge.

Such training is most helpful for augmenting the skills, ability, & also

capability of the students. To get the job the theoretical as well as practical

knowledge is required. Hence the study of management is very important.

JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 54

Page 55: SAGAR OS.docx

I am studying in BHARATESH COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. In

this 2nd year, 30 days training for preparing project report is essential. It was

a wonderful experience during the training at the APEX HONDA. And I have

also come to know that a big gap exists between theoretical knowledge that

we have learnt and analyzed in practically. At Apex I studied that for the

success of any organization lies among the co-ordination between the

employees of different Departments of the organization.

I, here, have put unique emphasis on organization study of APEX HONDA

based on our learning & understanding.
