AN OVERVIEW ON INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

Automobiles have become an indispensable part of our lives, an extension of the human body that provides us faster, cheaper and more convenient mobility every passing day. Behind this betterment go the efforts of those in the industry, in the form of improvement through technological research. What actually lie behind this betterment of the automobiles are the opinions, requirements, likes and dislikes of those who use these vehicles. These wheeled machines affect our lives in ways more than one. Numerous surveys and research are conducted throughout the world every now and then to reveal one or the other aspect of automobiles, be it about the pollution caused due to vehicle population in cities, or rising motor accidents and causes, vehicular technology, alternative medicine and so on.. This section keeps you updated on the latest and the most interesting surveys and researches conducted in the field of automobiles, and help you draw the right conclusion

2004-05

Following India's growing openness, the arrival of new and existing models, easy availability of finance at relatively low rate of interest and price discounts offered by the dealers and manufacturers all have stirred the demand for vehicles and a strong growth of the Indian automobile industry.

The data obtained from ministry of commerce and industry, shows high growth obtained since 2001- 02 in automobile production continuing in the first three quarters of the 2004-05. Annual growth was 16.0 per cent in April-December, 2004; the growth rate in 2003-04 was 15.1 per cent. The automobile industry grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22 per cent between 1992 and1997. With investment exceeding Rs. 50,000 crore, the turnover of the automobile industry exceeded Rs. 59,518 crore in 2002-03. Including turnover of the auto-component sector, the automotive industry's turnover, which was above Rs. 84,000 crore in 2002-03, is estimated to have exceeded Rs.1,00,000 crore ( USD 22. 74 billion) in 2003-04. Automobile Dealers Network in India Network in India

In terms of Car dealer networks and authorized service stations, Maruti leads the pack with Dealer networks and workshops across the country. The other leading automobile manufactures are also trying to cope up and are opening their service stations and dealer workshops in all the metros and major cities of the country. Dealers offer varying kind of discount of finances who in tern pass it on to the customers in the form of reduced interest rates.

Government has liberalized the norms for foreign investment and import of technology and that appears to have benefited the automobile

sector. The production of total vehicles increased from 4.2 million in 199899 to 7.3 million in 2003-04. It is likely that the production of such vehicles will exceed 10 million in the next couple of years. The industry has adopted the global standards and this was manifested in the increasing exports of the sector. After a temporary slump during 1998- 99 and 1999-00, such exports registered robust growth rates of well over 50 per cent in 2002-03 and 2003-04 each to exceed two and- a-half times the export figure for 2001-02.

THE KEY FACTOR BEHIND THIS UPSWING Sales incentives, introduction of new models as well as variants coupled with easy availability of low cost finance with comfortable repayment options continued to drive demand and sales of automobiles during the first two quarters of the current year. The risk of an increase in the interest rates, the impact of delayed monsoons on rural demand, and increase in the costs of inputs such as steel are the key concerns for the players in the industry. The auto component sector has also posted significant growth of 20 per cent in 2003-04, to achieve a sales turnover of Rs.30,640 crore (US$ 6.7 billion). Further, there is a potential for higher growth due to outsourcing activities by global automobiles giants. Today, this sector has emerged as another sunrise sector. Opposing the belief that the growth in automobile industry has catered only to the top income-stratum of society, Growth of exports of 32.8 % in the first three quarters of 2004-05, the fastest growth in volumes has come from commercial vehicles as against passenger cars. Between 1998-99 and 2003-04, output of commercial vehicles has grown 2.8 times compared to the 2.2 times increase in passenger cars. Furthermore, two-wheeler output continues to dominate the volume statistics of the sector. In 2003-04, for every passenger car turned out by the sector, there were 7 two-wheelers produced.

Car market leader Maruti Udyog today launched SX4 sedan, a bold, muscular and feature-packed car, powered by the global M-series engine and built on a brand new platform. SX4 sedan is the second global car, after the Swift, from Suzuki Motor Corporation, the parent company of Maruti Udyog. SX4 Sedan is making its debut in India, before being launched in Europe and Japan. Speaking at the launch Mr. Jagdish Khattar, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Udyog, said SX4 sedan is just the right car with which Maruti Udyog can reinforce its presence in the A3 segment and enhance its leadership. He added: The large number of customers who bought our compact cars 4-5 years ago, and also Esteem and Baleno customers, will now choose the SX4 as the next upgrade option. Besides, people who like to own a Maruti Suzuki car, but were considering moving to competitors because we did not offer an A3 segment car of their choice, will now choose the SX4 sedan. The SX4 sedan is being launched soon after Maruti Udyog has completed its best year ever (2006-07) in terms of sales, financials, investment milestones and model launches. All the companys three new launches last year - WagonR Duo, Zen Estilo and Swift Diesel --- achieved record success. Global car with Global Engine The SX4 sedan is fitted with an advanced M series engine. The M-series represents the future of Suzukis engine technology. It is designed to be compliant to Euro 4 and Euro 5 norms in future. Suzuki has developed this engine by picking up the best features of the engine series used so far in Suzuki vehicles and incorporating them in this latest series. The 4-valve, 1.6 liter engine will produce a maximum power of 102 bhp @5500 rpm. The engine also has a high torque of 145Nm @4200 rpm, which makes driving comfortable.

Xtra large The SX4 sedan is the tallest, widest and the longest car in its class. It comes with the widest tyres, and a boot space of 505 liters. The ground clearance of SX4 sedan is 190 mm, the highest in the A3 segment.

Feature packed sedan SX4 sedan is equipped with features that impart aesthetics, status, convenience and safety. It offers a music system integrated with the dashboard, with audio control on the steering wheels. In addition, auto climate control system provides comfort and convenience. The antenna is embedded in the glass, further enhancing aesthetics of the car. An illuminated key insert and variable instrument illumination are among the other unique features of the SX4 sedan. The SX4 sedan is available in two variants: Vxi and Zxi. In addition, Zxi comes with the option of a leather pack comprising leather seats, leather steering cover and leather door trims. The SX4 is available in seven vibrant colours. The S in SX4 stands for Sport. X denotes RelaX. 4 denotes 4-seasons drive. Safety The SX4 sedan is fitted with safety features like ABS, EBD and Dual SRS airbags. It also has front and rear side door impact beams.

The upright, theater seating in SX4 sedan provides better visibility. The immobilizer, a state-of-the-art anti theft device, has also been installed in the SX4 sedan. SX4 sedan and Maruti engineers The localization level of SX4 sedan is 79%. Marutis engineers have contributed in making the car suitable for Indian conditions, especially in critical areas like suspension tuning, ground clearance, engine tuning and seat comfort. Interiors have been toned to the taste of Indian customers. The SX4 sedan will be manufactured at Maruti Udyogs state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Manesar, which was formally inaugurated in February 2007.

Suzuki Motor Corporation and SX4 Sedan The SX4 Sedan is a significant model for Suzuki Motor Corporation as well, as the company evolves from being the leading mini car maker in the world, to a complete car maker.

Recent Suzuki cars, including the Swift and now the SX4, come with a more aggressive, curvy and bold design. The European design influence is clearly evident. This is a deliberate shift from the staid and straight lines, traditionally seen in Suzuki models. Alongside the conscious shift in product design, Suzuki has taken other initiatives in its evolution, including entering the World Rally Championship. It has also embarked on developing global cars like Swift and SX4 which, while exuding an international and contemporary feel, are tuned to domestic requirements of individual markets. Price The SX4 Sedan has been priced aggressively as an introductory offer. Model SX4 Vxi SX4 Zxi SX4 Zxi leather City Del Del Del EX-SHOWROO (Rs) 618000 689000 724000
