We recommend Hold in this particular scrip with a target price of Rs Industry Overview Auto ancillary The Indian auto ancillary industry has come a long way since it had its small beginnings in the 1940s. If the evolution of the industry is traced in India, it can be classified into three distinct phases namely: Period prior to the entry of Maruti Udhyog Ltd, Period after the entry of Maruti Udhyog Ltd and Period post Liberalization. The period prior to the entry of Maruti Udhyog Ltd was characterized by small number of auto majors like Hindustan Motors, Premier Automobiles, Telco, Bajaj, Mahindra and Mahindra, low technology and assured business for most of the auto-component manufacturers. The entry of Maruti in the 1980s marked the beginning of the second phase of the industry. The auto ancillary industry in the country really showed a spurt in growth during this period. This period witnessed the emergence of a new generation of auto ancillary manufacturers who were required to meet the stringent quality standards of Maruti s Korean collaborator Suzuki of Japan. The good performance of Maruti resulted in a upswing for the domestic auto ancillary industry. It was during this period that auto components from India began to be exported. The entry of foreign automobile manufacturers ranging from Mercedes Benz, Ford, and General Motors to Daewoo following the government liberalizing the foreign investment limits saw the beginning of the third phase of the evolution of the industry. The auto ancillary industry witnessed huge capacity expansions and modernization initiatives in the post liberalization period. Technological collaborations and equity partnerships with world leaders in auto components became a common affair. However, the global automobile majors soon realized the folly of their estimations in India. The market did not seem to be as big as it appeared to be. 9

10 Hence, sales targets went awry. The tough competitive scenario saw a lot of consolidation in the industry and it still continues unabated. Consistent growth and dedication have made the Indian automobile industry the secondlargest tractor and two-wheeler manufacturer in the world. It is also the fifth-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in the world. It is also the fifth-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in the world. The Indian automobile market is among the largest in Asia. The key players like Hindustan Motors, Maruti Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd, Tata Motors, Bajaj Motors, Hero Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra have been dominating the vehicle industry. A few of the foreign players like Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd., Skoda India Private Ltd., Honda Siel Cars India Ltd. have also entered the market and have catered to the customers needs to a large extent. Not only the Indian companies but also the international car manufacturing companies are focusing on compact cars to be delivered in the Indian market at a much smaller price. Moreover, the automobile companies are coming up with financial schemes such as easy EMI repayment systems to boost sales. There have been exhibitions like Auto-expo at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi to share the technological advancements. Besides, there are many new projects coming up in the automobile industry leading to the growth of the sector. The Government of India has liberalized the foreign exchange and equity regulations and has also reduced the tariff on imports, contributing significantly to the growth of the sector. Having firmly established its presence in the domestic markets, the Indian automobile sector is now penetrating the international arena. Vehicle exports from India are at their highest levels. The 10

11 leaders of the Indian automobile sector, such as Tate Motors, Maruti and Mahindra and Mahindra are leading the exports to Europe, Middle East and African and Asian markets.
