COMPANY

The two wheeler industry has been going steadily over the years all over the world. India is not
an exception for that. Today India is the second largest manufactures of two wheelers in the
world. It stands next only to Japan and China in terms of number of two wheelers produced
and sold. Until 1990 geared scooters dominated the two wheelers market so much so that their
sales equaled the combined sales of Motor cycles and Mopeds. Today the customer preferences
have shifted from geared scooters to motorcycles and also to an extent to the premium end
scooters. With rising fuel cost and more recently stringent emission norms imposed by the
government, there is a distinct consumer preference for high efficiency. The Honda story is the
story of one man, Soichiro Honda, and his unparalleled achievement of bringing motor cycles
to the masses. Soichiro Honda was a racer, a businessman, and a manufacturer. But most of all
he was a dreamer. He dreamed of a better way of making piston rings, founded a small
company, and began production. He dreamed of giving people everywhere an economical form
of transportation, and began producing small motorcycles, including one built in 1949 called
the D-Type Dream. He also loved racing too. So his company built bigger and faster machines,
two, four, five and six-cylinder race bikes and won the Isle of Man. Honda Motor Company is
by far the world's biggest motorcycle maker. Honda's first motorcycle was born out of necessity
in immediate post World War II Japan, where public transportation was desperately
overcrowded and gasoline severely restricted. Unique practices create unique organizations.

Honda was established upon the fundamental belief in the value of each individual. Based on
our philosophy, we respect independent spirit and freedom, equality and mutual trust of human
beings who work for or come in contact with our company. As such our management policies
focus on developing and enhancing the essential characteristics that every individual possesses
- capacity to think, reason, and most importantly - the ability to dream. Being the largest
producer of 2-wheelers and one of the most admired companies in the world definitely thrills
us. But what thrills our associates most is the 'Joy of Creating', one of our missions at Honda,
which promotes working for our own happiness. If you have a passion for 2-wheelers and
possess a challenging spirit, your abilities are more important to us rather than which university
you passed from.

India will be the biggest global market for Honda's two-wheeler business by 2015 before
eventually accounting for 30 per cent of its overall market share. At present, this is 13 per cent
but the company is going flat out with new product launches as part of an aggressive growth
strategy. The 110cc Dream Yuga motorcycle, unveiled at the Auto Expo here on Thursday,
will roll out this year for the mass market, a segment in which Honda's former partner, the Hero
group, rules the roost with the Splendour and Passion brands.

Philosophy

HMSI operates on a principle, which is followed worldwide by all Honda companies.

Maintaining a global viewpoint, we are dedicated to supplying products of the highest quality,
yet at a reasonable price for worldwide customer satisfaction. Honda's philosophy is based on
the company's guiding principle and advocates 2 fundamental beliefs:

Respect for the Individual

Honda recognizes and respects individual differences. The respect for individual stems from
thefollowing three points:

1. Initiative
2. Equality
3. Trusts

It is the contribution from each individual in the company that has made our company what it
is today and that, which will take us into the future.

The Three Joys

1. The joy of manufacturing high quality products.

2. The joy of selling high quality products.
3. The joy of buying high quality products.

Mass market pricing

The Yuga is expected to be priced competitively at around Rs 45,000, which could give the
company the much needed momentum in its motorcycle business. The other launches included
a new 110cc Dio scooter as well as the larger CBR150R and 250R bikes. Officials said Honda
R&D would now work closely with the Manesar operations of HMSI (Honda Motorcycle &
Scooter India), which would facilitate faster product launches in the coming years. In addition,
the company will increase the number of its zonal offices and training centres keeping in mind
the growing demand from smaller towns and the need to be closer to this critical buyer base.
Clearly, Honda is determined to make up the lost numbers ceded to the Hero group, which
works out to over five million units annually. The revised strategy will call for an aggressive
play in the pricing segment while offering top quality products.

Global share
India will, in the process, take over from Indonesia and Vietnam as Honda's biggest two-
wheeler market over the next five years. As for the bigger goal of 30 per cent share in its global
business, Honda's annual two-wheeler volumes here would have to be in the region of 10
million units annually. Observers believe this could become a reality by 2020. At present, over
four million units are in place from its three units in Manesar (the largest with 1.6 million), the
recently commissioned Rajasthan plant and the newly identified site in Karnataka (with
capacities of 1.2 million units each). The balance six million bikes and scooters, in that case,
will have to be generated from new facilities even as reports are already doing the rounds that
Honda is looking at options in the western and southern regions post-2014.

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, Private Limited (HMSI) is the wholly owned Indian
subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Limited, Japan. Founded in 1999, it was the fourth
Honda automotive venture in India, after Kinetic Honda Motor Ltd and Hero Honda Honda
Siel Cars India.
