INTRODUCTION
There has been a potential rise in the demand for four-wheelers in India. To add to
this there are a number of four wheeler industries offering various models of four-
wheelers in the different segments and as a result the competition very fierce .In order
to survive in the competitive market and stay on top it is necessary for the four-
wheelers companies to provide quality products and services at competitive prices.
The Indian consumers have also changed greatly and demand much more at
lesser prices . The Indian consumers expect the Indian four-wheeler companies to
match the international standards and provide better quality of product at highly
competitive prices.
With the fuel prices on the rise the Indian consumers would expect products
that offer them a value for their money and a products that is low on maintenance ,
economical on the fuel aspect and durable.
Due to the above reasons a markets survey was conducted for INDUS
MOTORS in order to determine the specific areas where it could improve in order to
its consumes and areas where it could improve in order to enhance customers
satisfaction and increase customer needs.

What the company thinks its consumers wants is necessarily the same as what
the company thinks it has to offer. It is not necessarily the same as what the company
actually offers is not necessarily same as how the customers experience that is not
necessarily the same as what the customers really wants.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Since transportation is the nerve centre of every other industry, the well being of the
automobile industry is a good indicator of the health of the economy. Economic
studies have shown that every truck manufactured creates anywhere between eight
to twelve jobs and a bus would create around seven, which would include sales
people, drivers, mechanics etc.
Economic progress is indicated by the amount of goods and services produced which
give the impetus for transportation and boost the sale of vehicles. Increase in
automobile production has a catalyst effect by indirectly increasing the demand for a
number of raw materials like steel, rubber, Plastics, Paint etc.

INDUSTRY
Indian Car manufacturing has matured in last few years and offers differentiated
products for different segments of the society. It is currently making inroads into the
rural middle class market after its inroads into the urban markets and rural rich. In
the recent years Indian automobile sector has witnessed a slew of investments. India
is on every major global automobile player’s radar.
Page | 27
MIC ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE
CONSUMERS PERCEPTION TOWARDS ALTO 2018
Indian Car manufacturing industry is also fast becoming an outsourcing hub for
automobile companies worldwide, as indicated by the zooming automobile exports
from the country. Today, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, GM. Ford and Mitsubishi have
set up their manufacturing bases in India.
In the initial years after independence Indian automobile industry was plagued by
unfaourable government policies. All it had to offer in the passenger car segment
was a 1940s Morris model called the ambassador and a1960s Suzuki-derived
model called the Maruti 800. The automobile sector in India underwent a
metamorphosis as a result of the liberalization policies initiated in the 1991.
Before independence India was seen as a market for imported vehicles. The
assembling of cars manufactured by General Motors and other leading brands was
the order of the day. Indian auto industry focused on servicing, dealership, financing
and maintenance of vehicles. Manufacturing started only after a decade.
Indian Car manufacturing has matured in last few years and offers

rural rich. In the recent years Indian automobile sector has witnessed a slew of
investments. India is on every major global automobile player’s radar.
Indian Car manufacturing industry is also fast becoming an outsourcing hub for
automobile companies worldwide, as indicated by the zooming automobile exports
from the country. Today, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford and Mitsubishi have
set up their manufacturing bases in India. Due to rapid economic growth and higher
disposable income it is believed that the success story of the Indian automobile
industry is not going to end soon.
Although India has been much discussed in recent years, and has been the recipient
of major foreign investment in its automotive industry, it in many ways not received
the attention of the world’s other major developing country, China-but this is about
change.
With the world’s second largest and fastest-growing population, there is no denying
India’s potential in both economic and population terms and the effect it will have on
the auto industry in the years to come. The country is already off to a good start, with
a well-developed components industry and a production level of one million four-
wheeled vehicles a year. India also has substantial strength in mass production
techniques and is particularly well served in the fields of research and development
and software design. The implications, market drivers and scope of a future massive
Indian vehicle market are covered in the India Strategic Market Profile.

CONCLUSION
With the number of cars being offered by the companies on the rise it is necessary
for Maruti to offer a better quality of Maruti Alto being produced which are durable
and cost effective.
The Indian consumers have also changed greatly and demand much more at lesser
prices. The Indian consumers expect the Indian car manufacturing companies to
match the international standards and provide better quality of products at highly
competitive prices.
The overall satisfaction towards the offered Maruti Alto is credible but there still a
few dissatisfied customers who complain of maintenance problems and lack of good
designs. As a result Maruti would have to incorporate these minute changes in their
products in order to increase the customer satisfaction levels.
