Introduction
The Indian auto industry is one of the largest in the world. The industry accounts for 7.1 per cent
of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Two Wheelers segment with 81 per cent
market share is the leader of the Indian Automobile market owing to a growing middle class and
a young population. Moreover, the growing interest of the companies in exploring the rural
markets further aided the growth of the sector. The overall Passenger Vehicle (PV) segment has
13 per cent market share.
India is also a prominent auto exporter and has strong export growth expectations for the near
future. In April-March 2016, overall automobile exports grew by 1.91 per cent. PV, Commercial
Vehicles (CV), and Two Wheelers (2W) registered a growth of 5.24 per cent, 16.97 per cent, and
0.97 per cent respectively in April-March 2016 over April-March 2015. In addition, several
initiatives by the Government of India and the major automobile players in the Indian market are
expected to make India a leader in the 2W and Four Wheeler (4W) market in the world by 2020.
Market Size
The sales of PVs, CVs and 2Ws grew by 9.17 per cent, 3.03 per cent and 8.29 per cent
respectively, during the period April-January 2017.
Investments
In order to keep up with the growing demand, several auto makers have started investing heavily
in various segments of the industry during the last few months. The industry has attracted
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$ 15.79 billion during the period April 2000 to
September 2016, according to data released by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion

per cent FDI under the automatic route.
Some of the major initiatives taken by the Government of India are:

central assistance of about Rs 25,000 crore (US$ 3.75 billion), aimed at boosting the

to be among the top five markets, outside of Europe, by 2020 for the company, which is reflected
in the appointment of its most experienced managers to India for increasing volumes and exports
out of India.
The Indian automotive aftermarket is estimated to grow at around 10-15 per cent to reach US$
16.5 billion by 2021 from around US$ 7 billion in 2016. It has the potential to generate up to
US$ 300 billion in annual revenue by 2026, create 65 million additional jobs and contribute over
12 per cent to Indias Gross Domestic Product#.
According to Mr. Guillaume Sicard, president, Nissan India Operations, the income tax rate cut
from 10 per cent to 5 per cent for individual tax payers earning under Rs 5 lakh (US$ 7,472) per
annum will create a positive sentiment among likely first time buyers for entry level and small
cars.

CHAPTER 2
HISTORY
OF
HONDA
13
From a young age, Hondas founder,Soichiro Honda (November 17, 1906 August 5, 1991) had
a great interest in automobiles. He worked as a mechanic at a Japanese tuning shop, Art Shokai,
where he tuned cars and entered them in races. A self-taught engineer, he later worked on a
piston design which he hoped to sell to Toyota. The first drafts of his design were rejected, and
Soichiro worked painstakingly to perfect the design, even going back to school and pawning his
wifes jewelry for collateral. Eventually, he won a contract with Toyota and built a factory to
construct pistons for them, which was destroyed in an earthquake. Due to a gasoline shortage
during World War II, Honda was unable to use his car, and his novel idea of attaching a small
engine to his bicycle attracted much curiosity. He then established the Honda Technical Research
Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan, to develop and produce small 2-cycle motorbike engines. Calling
upon 18,000 bicycle shop owners across Japan to take part in revitalizing a nation torn apart by
war, Soichiro received enough capital to engineer his first motorcycle, the Honda Cub. This
marked the beginning of Honda Motor Company, which would grow a short time later to be the
worlds largest manufacturer of motorcycles by 1964.
The first production automobile from Honda was the T360 mini pick-up truck, which went on
sale in August 1963. Powered by a small 356 cc straight-4 gasoline engine, it was classified
under the cheaper Kei car tax bracket The first production car from Honda was the S500 sports
car, which followed the T360 into production in October 1963. Its chain driven rear wheels point
to Hondas motorcycle origins

It is well known fact that the most important step in marketing research process is to define the
problem. Choose for investigation because a problem well defined is half solved. That was the
reason that at most care was taken while defining various parameters of the problem. After
giving through brain storming session, objectives were selected and the set on the base of these
objectives. A questionnaire was designed major emphasis of which was gathering new ideas or
insight so as to determine and bind out solution to the problems.
4.1 DATA SOURCE
Research included gathering both primary and secondary data. Primary data is the first hand
data, which are selected a fresh and thus happen to be original incharacter. Primary Data was
crucial to know various customers and past consumerviews about bikes and to calculate the
market share of this brand in regards to otherbrands.
Secondary data is that which has been collected by someone else and which already have been
passed through statistical process. Secondary data has been taken from internet, newspaper,
magazines and companies web sites.
4.2 RESEARCH APPROACH
The research approach was used survey method which is a widely used method for data
collection and best suited for descriptive type of research survey includes research instrument
like questionnaire which can be structured and unstructured. Target population is well identified
and various methods like personal interviews and telephone interviews are employed.
24
4.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
1. Research work was carried out in one District of Tamil Nadu only the finding may not be
applicable to the other parts of the country because of social andcultural differences.
2. The sample was collected using connivance-sampling techniques. As such result may not
give an exact representation of the population.
3. Shortage of time is also reason for incomprehensiveness.
4. The views of the people are biased therefore it doesnt reflect true picture.
