15. MARUTI UDYOG
LIMITED
MUL established in February 1981, though the
actual production commenced in 1983 with
the Maruti 800, based on Suzuki Alto.
MUL was renamed as Maruti Suzuki India
Limited.(MSIL on 17 Sept. 2007,)

16. Given the fact that the only other known cars
available at that time were Hindustan
Ambassador and Premier Padmini , Maruti
cars in India brought about the muchneeded technological evolution.
The two plants of Maruti Udyog were:1.
Gurgaon plant
2.
Manesar plant.

Area: 300 Acres
Manufacturing Capacity: 9,00,000 Vehicle
annually. Initially it use to produce

19. MARKETING STRATEGY
OF MUL IN LATE 1980’S

Maruti was the first company in India which
studied the consumer demand and responded to
it well.

Market segmentation policy was adopted that
targeted different type of consumers with
different type of models.

Maruti800 targeted medium income group, while
the deluxe model targeted rich income group.

Maruti Van targeted businessmen and
doctors(ambulance)

20. 
The Gypsy targeted the paramilitary forces and
the police.

This resulted in complete control of Maruti over
the market.

The company advertised its different products
according to costumers.

A special cell was made to make direct dealing of
Gypsy with the government & the army.

21. MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA
LTD.

Maruti Suzuki is India’s leading
automobile manufacturing company and
is the market leader in the car segment
both in terms of volume of vehicles sold
and revenue earned.

Until recently, 18.28% of the company
was owned by the Indian government and
54.2% by Suzuki of Japan.

22. 
The BJP led government held an initial public
offering of 25% of the company in June 2003.

As of 10 May 2007 Govt. of India sold its
complete share to Indian financial institutions.
The Govt. of India no longer has stake in
Maruti Udyog.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited has an impressive
portfolio with a total of 15 brands and over
150 variants of Maruti cars in India, ranging
from the Maruti 800 to the latest Ertiga.

23. 
The company offers equally competitive
services through its network of 933
dealerships, 2, 946 service stations and 30
express service stations spread across the
nation.

Other than Maruti cars, the company also
offers a wide range of services to enhance
their customers’ experience via Maruti
Insurance, Maruti Finance, Maruti True
Value, and Maruti Driving School among
others.

24. 
The two upcoming plants of MSIL
are:
Mehsana Plant

Bechraji Plant

25. MEHSANA DISTRICT
PLANT

It is expected to start its production by
March 2015.

26. BECHRAJI PLANT
(VADODARA)

The manufacturing is going to begin by 2017.

The fourth plant is been purchased with a
thought to roughly doubling annual
production capacity of Maruti’s all plants to
about 3 million units.

The company purchased the land for a new
factory with manufacturing capacity of
about 7,50,000 units a year but it will
manufacture 2.5lakh units per annum.

27. JOINT VENTURE

Relationship between the Government
of India and Suzuki Motor Corporation
over the joint venture was a point of
debate in the Indian media till Suzuki
Motor Corporation gained the
controlling stake.

The success of the joint venture led
Suzuki to increase its equity from 26%
to 40% in 1987, and further to 50% in
1992.

28. 
In 1982 both the venture partners had
entered into an agreement to nominate
their candidate for the post of
Managing Director and every
Managing Director will have a tenure
of five years.

29. JOINT VENTURE
ISSUE/PROBLEMS

R.C. Bhargava was the initial managing
director of the company since the
inception of the joint venture.

The Government nominated Mr. S.S.L.N.
Bhaskarudu as the Managing Director on
27 August 1997.

In 1987 he was promoted as Chief
General Manager. In 1988 he was named
Director, Productions and Projects.

30. 
The next year (1989) he was named
Director of Materials and in 1993 he
became Joint Managing Director.

Suzuki did not attend the Annual General
Meeting of the Board with the reason of
it being called on a short notice.

Suzuki Motor Corporation state that
Bhaskarudu was "incompetent" and
wanted someone else.

31. 
Government of India refuted the charges.

Media stated from the Maruti Suzuki
sources that Bhaskarudu was interested to
adapt most of components for the models
including gear boxes especially for Maruti
800.

Suzuki also felt that Bhaskarudu was a
substitute for the Government and would
not let it increase its stake in the venture.

32. Issues

If Maruti Suzuki would have been able to
adapt gear boxes then Maruti Suzuki
would have been able to manufacture all
the models without the technical
assistance from Suzuki. Till today the
issue of localization of gear boxes is
highlighted in the press.

33. INDUSTRIAL RELATION

Industrial relations is a
multidisciplinary field that studies the
employment relationship.

It is called as employment
relations because of the
importance of non-industrial
employment relationships.

1983

experienced few problems with its

35. 
In parallel, after elections and a new
central government, led India pursued a
disinvestments policy. The new
administration proposed to sell part of its
stake in Maruti Suzuki in a public offering.

The worker's union opposed this sell-off
plan, that the company will lose a major
business advantage of being subsidized
by the Government, and the union has
better protection while the company

36. 
The management refused union demands
citing increased competition and lower
margins.

The central government prevailed and
privatized Maruti in 2002.

Suzuki became the majority owner of Maruti
Udyog Limited.

2011

In September and October 2011 production
at Manesar was severely affected by due

37. 

automobile market which where due to:
The government has reduced
regulation on the industry and more
foreign players were invited.

started providing car loans at
reasonable interest rate.

50. IMPACTS OF THE
CHANGING AUTO INDUSTRY

The Indian consumer now started buying the
mid-size cars rather than small cars ,the
luxury cars also gained popularity, SUV’s also
started coming in the market.

The increasing level of income of urban
people, the small cars were not considered
to be luxury item any more.

51. THE MAJOR FAULTS

The MUL depended more on its M800
model, so when in late 1990’ s the new
players like when Matiz, Santro and
Indica came into the market with more
space and better comfort ,at same
price, then Maruti lost a major share of
market.

52. 
Maruti Suzuki was far behind in luxury
and SUV car ,the other player like GM,
TATA, Mahindra , Mitsubishi and
Toyota were already established in the
market ,so replacing them was not
easy.

MARUTI

To gain back its lost share Maruti
launched Zen ,Alto and WagonR. These
small segment car gained huge response
for consumers.

Maruti also launched aggressive
promotional policy to promote them like
announcing Zen as the “world’s car”.

Maruti also made a slogan “count on
us”. To emphasize its reliability.

54. 
In 2003 Maruti came up with “change
your life campaign", it provided vehicle
insurance at just Rs 1 to attract the
customers. advertisement such as of Alto
in which a small boy says to his father
“papa ki karan petrol khatam hi nahi
hoonda” was make customer feel that
Alto was best fuel efficient.

55. 
During 2003 and 2004, MUL
visualized and implemented a strategy
for its dealers to increase their
profitability levels in view of increased
competition.

According to the strategy, the 300 plus
-odd dealers of the company were asked
to strengthen their manpower, increase
the salaries of their sales agents, and
offer them better incentives.

56. 
'2599' offer-In 2004, MUL introduced
the '2599' offer under which a consumer
could buy an M-800 by paying an EMI
of Rs 2,599 only, for a period of seven
years. The down payment was fixed at
Rs 40,000. MUL entered into an
agreement with the State Bank of India
