INTRODUCTION
The manufacture of commercial vehicles in the country started in 1948.Initially the production was of only light commercial vehicle of jeep andcar derivation. Within a few years the heavy commercial productionovertook the LCV production and by early sixties the heavy commercial
production was four times the light commercial vehicle production.Ashok Leyland vehicles have built a reputation for reliability and
ruggedness. The 5,00,000 vehicles we have put on the roads haveconsiderably eased the additional pressure placed on road transportation
in independent India. In the populous Indian metros, four out of the five
State Transport Undertaking (STU) buses come from Ashok Leyland.
Some of them like the double-decker and vestibule buses are unique
models from Ashok Leyland, tailor-made for high-density routes. The
blueprint prepared for the future reflected the global ambitions of the
company, captured in four words: Global Standards, Global Markets.This was at a time when liberalisation and globalisation were not yet in
the air. Ashok Leyland embarked on a major product and process
upgradation to match world-class standards of technology.
In the journey towards global standards of quality, Ashok Leyland
reached a major milestone in 1993 when it became the first in India's
automobile history to win the ISO 9002 certification. The more
comprehensive ISO 9001 certification came in 1994, QS 9000 in 1998
and ISO 14001 certification for all vehicle manufacturing units in 2002.
It has also become the first Indian auto company to receive the latest
ISO/TS 16949 Corporate Certification (in July 2006) which is specific to
the auto industry.

COMPANY HISTORYThe origin of Ashok Leyland can be traced to the urge for self-reliance,
felt by independent India. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime
Minister persuaded Mr. Raghunandan Saran, an industrialist, to enterautomotive manufacture. In 1948, Ashok Motors was set up in what was
then Madras, for the assembly of Austin Cars. The Company's destiny
and name changed soon with equity participation by British Leyland and
Ashok Leyland commenced manufacture of commercial vehicles in
1955.
Since then Ashok Leyland has been a major presence in India's
commercial vehicle industry with a tradition of technologicalleadership,
achieved through tie-ups with international technology leaders andthrough vigorous in-house R&D.
Access to international technology enabled the Company to set a
tradition to be first with technology. Be it full air brakes, power steering
or rear engine busses, Ashok Leyland pioneered all these concepts.
Responding to the operating conditions and practices in the country, the
Company made its vehicles strong, over-engineering them with extra
metallic muscles. "Designing durable products that make economicsense to the consumer, using appropriate technology", became the
design philosophy of the Company, which in turn has moulded
consumer attitudes and the brand personality.

BUSINESS STATUS
Ashok Leyland is the second largest manufacturer of medium and heavy
commercial vehicles (M&HCV) in India. It had a 27% market share in
the domestic M&HCV segment and a marginal presence in the LCV
segment (light commercial vehicles). In FY09, the company had entered
into an agreement with Nissan manufacturing company for the
manufacture of LCVs, thus taking a big step towards consolidating its
presence in the segment.
PEST ANALYSIS
There are many factors that affect any organization. Tax changes, new
laws, trade barriers, demographic changes government policy changes
etc. are all examples of macroscopic changes. To help analyse these
factors we categorize them using the PEST model. This classification
distinguishes between political, economical, social and technological.
By PEST analysis we can know about extended environment and key
drivers of change of an organization.Political:

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND ANALYSIS
A Porter's Five Forces Analysis explores five principal industry factors
to determine the attractive of a given industry in a given market. In this,
we look at the automobile industry in India. This is independent of any
manufacturer. As such, it applies to every Indian car manufacturer.In any P5F analysis, one must examine the following:
1.The threat of new entrants.
2.The bargaining power of buyers/customers.3. The threat of substitute products.
4. The amount of bargaining power suppliers have.
5. The amount of rivalry among competitors.
The threat of new entrants:
In most markets, the capital and expertise needed to setup an auto or
parts manufacturing facility would be a great enough barrier to entry to
prevent many new entrants from setting up.
However, given India's incredible growth forecasts, infrastructure
progress (especially new and better roads), and ever-expanding
financing options to rural residents, the market is attractive. As such, we
expect the threat of new entrants to be high.
The bargaining power of buyers/customers:
Buyers in India have a wide variety of choice. There are more than 20
foreign manufacturers selling in India (including ultra high-end such as
-
8/7/2019 Abhshek Singh Report on Ashok Leyland Final 22222222222222222222
23/28
Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini). Of course there are also a plethora of
incredibly cheap choices, like the famous Tata Nano.
The threat of substitute productsIndia is famous for its two-wheelers (bikes and mopeds) and three-wheelers. These are very real and obvious threats to auto manufacturers.
The amount of bargaining power suppliers have:
It is likely that the suppliers to the manufacturers have considerable
bargaining power. They are not held ransom by one single manufacturer
as they can market their products to any of the others in India.
The amount of rivalry among competitors:
The amount of rivalry amongst competitors in India is high. The
industry is not yet in its shake-out phase and is still struggling to find the
up-and-coming stars and possibly topple the leaders.

MARKETING STRATEGIES
Product - A tangible object or an intangible service that is massproduced or manufactured on a large scale with a specific volume ofunits. Intangible products are often service based like the tourismindustry & the hotel industry. Typical examples of a mass producedtangible object are the motor car and the disposable razor. A lessobvious but ubiquitous mass produced service is a computer operatingsystem.
Price The price is the amount a customer pays for the product. It is
determined by a number of factors including market share, competition,
material costs, product identity and the customer's perceived value of the
product. The business may increase or decrease the price of product if
other stores have the same product.
Place Place represents the location where a product can be purchased.It is often referred to as the distribution channel. It can include any
physical store as well as virtual stores on the Internet.

Promotion Promotion represents all of the communications that amarketer
may use in the marketplace. Promotion has four distinct elements -
advertising, public relations, word of mouth and point of sale. A certain
amount of crossover occurs when promotion uses the four principal
elements together, which is common in film promotion. Advertising
covers any communication that is paid for, from television and cinemacommercials, radio and Internet adverts through print media and
billboards. One of the most notable means of promotion today is the
Promotional Product, as in useful items distributed to targeted audiences
with no obligation attached. This category has grown each year for the
past decade while most other forms have suffered. It is the only form of
advertising that targets all five senses and has the recipient thanking the
giver. Public relations are where the communication is not directly paidfor and includes press releases, sponsorship deals, exhibitions,
conferences, seminars or trade fairs and events. Word of mouth is any
apparently informal communication about the product by ordinary
individuals, satisfied customers orpeople specifically engaged to create
word of mouth momentum. Sales staff often plays an important role in
word of mouth and Public Relations
