organization in the present days. Due to the increases of heavy competition in every product –
line it become difficult for the companies to retain the customers for longer time. So retain the

customer is fully satisfied by the product it not only rub the organization successfully but also
fetch many benefits for the company . They are less process sensitive and they remain customer
for a longer period. They buy addition products overtimes as the company introduce related
produce related products or improved, so customer satisfactions is gaining a lot of importance in
the present day. Every company is conducting survey on customer satisfaction level on their
products .To make the products up to the satisfaction level of customers.

INTRODUCTION OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
The automobile industry has changed the way people live and work. The earliest of modern cars
was manufactured in the year 1895.
Shortly the first appearance of the car followed in India. As the century turned, three cars were
imported in Mumbai (India). Within decade there were total of 1025 cars in the city.
The dawn of automobile actually goes back to 4000 years when the first wheel was used for
transportation in India. In the beginning of 15th century,Portuguese arrived in China and the
interaction of the two cultures led to a variety of new technologies, including the creation of a
wheel that turned under its own power. By 1600s small steam-powered engine models was
developed, but it took another century before a full-sized engine-powered vehicle was created.
Brothers Charles and Frank Duryea introduced the actual horseless carriage in the year 1893. It
was the first internal-combustion motor car of America, and it was followed by Henry Ford’s
first experimental car that same year.

One of the highest-rated early luxury automobiles was the 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost that
featured a quiet 6-cylinder engine, leather interior, folding windscreens and hood, and an
aluminum body.
Chauffeurs usually drove it and emphasis was on comfort and style rather than speed.
During the 1920s, the cars exhibited design refinements such as balloon tires, pressed-steel
wheels, and four-wheel brakes.
Graham Paige DC Phaeton of 1929 featured an 8-cylinder engine and an aluminum body.
The 1937 Pontiac De Luxe sedan had roomy interior and rear-hinged back door that suited more
to the needs of families. In 1930s, vehicles were less boxy and more streamlined than their
predecessor was.
The 1940s saw features like automatic transmission, sealed-beam headlights, and tubeless tires.
The year 1957 brought powerful high-performance cars such as Mercedes-Benz 300SL. It was
built on compact and stylized lines, and was capable of 230 kmph (144 mph).
This was the Indian automobile history, and today modern cars are generally light,
aerodynamically shaped, and compact.
Facts & Figures

The automobile industry in India is on an investment overdrive. Be it passenger car or two-
wheeler manufacturers, commercial vehicle makers or three-wheeler companies - everyone
appears to be in a scramble to hike production capacities. The country is expected to witness
over Rs 30,000 crore of investment by 2010.
Hyundai will also be unmasking the Verna and a brand new diesel car. General Motors will be
launching a mini and may be a compact car.

Most of the companies have made their intentions clear. Maruti Udyog has set up the second car
plant with a manufacturing capacity of 2.5 lakh units per annum for an investment of Rs 6,500
Crore (Rs 3,200 Crore for diesel engines and Rs 2,718 Crore for the car plant itself).
Hyundai and Tata Motors have announced plans for investing a similar amount over the next 3
years. Hyundai will bring in more than Rs 3,800 Crore to India.
Tata Motors will be investing Rs 2,000 Crore in its small car project.
General Motors will be investing Rs 100 Crore, Ford about Rs 350 Crore and Toyota
announced modest expansion plans even as Honda Siel has earmarked Rs 3,000 Crore over the
next decade for India - a sizeable chunk of this should come by 2010 since the company is also
looking to enter the lucrative small car segment.
.Talking about the commercial vehicle segment, Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors have each
announced well over Rs 1,000 Crore of investment. Mahindra & Mahindra's joint venture
with International Trucks is expected to see an infusion of at least Rs 500 Crore.
Industry performance in 2008-09

The Indian automotive market managed to stand up to the vagaries of the economic meltdown to
show slightly growth during fiscal 2008-09. Overall vehicle sales at 97.23 lakh grew 0.71 per
cent from 96.54 lakh units in 2007-08.
When major automotive markets reported a 30-40 per cent decline, only a handful of countries
managed to show growth. A few months ago, India was looking at negative growth but has
turned around. It is actually better than expected.
Passenger vehicle sales at 15.51 lakh registered flat growth while commercial vehicle sales
showed a 21 per cent drop.
SIAM has a positive outlook for the current financial year. While it foresees a 7-8 per cent
growth for the commercial vehicle segment, the industry body predicts a 3-5 per cent growth for

passenger vehicles. The three-wheeler segment may grow 5-8 per cent growth while two
wheelers may show 3-5 per cent growth.
The passenger vehicle market has weathered the downturn largely due to market leader Maruti
Suzuki which holds 48 per cent of the market. The compact car giant clocked 7.22 lakh units
for 2008-09. Closest rival Hyundai Motor India sold 2.44 lakh cars, a growth of 13 per cent.
Tata Motors’ sales grew 1.3 per cent at 2.30 lakh units while Mahindra & Mahindra posted 2.5
per cent growth at 1.06 lakh units.
Most premium carmakers saw volumes shrink last fiscal. Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s numbers
fell 15 per cent to 46,892 units while Ford India’s sales were down 17 per cent to 27,976
units. Honda Siel Cars India also saw a 17 per cent drop at 52,420 units while General
Motors India was down 8 per cent to 61,526 units.
Among commercial vehicle makers, all major players saw substantial fall in volumes. Market
leader Tata Motors with a 60 per cent plus share, showed 22 per cent drop in numbers at 2.34
lakh units while Ashok Leyland showed 37 per cent drop at 47,632.
Eicher’s sales volume fell 37 per cent at 17,341 units and Force Motors was down 28 per cent
at 7,819 units. “The freight movement is unlikely to improve this fiscal which will impact truck
sales.
Two-wheeler sales grew 2.6 per cent to 74.38 lakh units. “Hero Honda has made up for the
erosion of sales volume for other two-wheeler makers including Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor
Company,” said Mr. Matta. Hero Honda clocked 36.40 lakh units, a growth of 12.5 per cent.
Bajaj Auto’s volumes dropped 23 per cent to 12.86 lakh units while TVS saw a marginal
decline at 11.36 lakh units. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India’s sales surged 16 per cent to

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology
A research process consists of stages or steps that guide the project from its conception through
the final analysis, recommendations and ultimate actions. The research process provides a
systematic, planned approach to the research project and ensures that all aspects of the research
project are consistent with each other.
Research studies evolve through a series of steps, each representing the answer to a key question.
INTRODUCTION
This chapter aims to understand the research methodology establishing a framework of
evaluation and revaluation of primary and secondary research. The techniques and concepts used
during primary research in order to arrive at findings; which are also dealt with and lead to a
logical deduction towards the analysis and results.
RESEARCH DESIGN
I propose to first conduct a intensive secondary research to understand the full impact and
implication of the industry, to review and critique the industry norms and reports, on which
certain issues shall be selected, which I feel remain unanswered or liable to change, this shall be
further taken up in the next stage of exploratory research. This stage shall help me to restrict and
select only the important question and issue, which inhabit growth and segmentation in the
industry.

The various tasks that I have undertaken in the research design process are :
 Defining the information need
 Design the exploratory, descriptive and causal research.
RESEARCH PROCESS
The research process has four distinct yet interrelated steps for research analysis
It has a logical and hierarchical ordering:
✔ Determination of information research problem.
✔ Development of appropriate research design.
✔ Execution of research design.
✔ Communication of results.
Each step is viewed as a separate process that includes a combination of task , step and specific
procedure. The steps undertake are logical, objective, systematic, reliable, valid, impersonal and
ongoing.
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
The method I used for exploratory research was
 Primary Data
 Secondary data
PRIMARY DATA
New data gathered to help solve the problem at hand. As compared to secondary data which is
previously gathered data. An example is information gathered by a questionnaire. Qualitative or

quantitative data that are newly collected in the course of research, Consists of original
information that comes from people and includes information gathered from surveys, focus
groups, independent observations and test results. Data gathered by the researcher in the act of
conducting research. This is contrasted to secondary data, which entails the use of data gathered
by someone other than the researcher information that is obtained directly from first-hand
sources by means of surveys, observation or experimentation.
Primary data is basically collectedby getting questionnaire filled by the respondents.
SECONDARY DATA
Information that already exists somewhere, having been collected for another purpose. Sources
include census reports, trade publications, and subscription services. There are two types of
secondary data: internal and external secondary data. Information compiled inside or outside the
organization for some purpose other than the current investigation Researching information,
which has already been published? Market information compiled for purposes other than the
current research effort; it can be internal data, such as existing sales-tracking information, or it
can be research conducted by someone else, such as a market research company or the U.S.
government.
Secondary source of data used consists of books and websites
My proposal is to first conduct a intensive secondary research to understand the full impact and
implication of the industry, to review and critique the industry norms and reports, on which
certain issues shall be selected, which I feel remain unanswered or liable to change, this shall be
further taken up in the next stage of exploratory research.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
STEPS in the descriptive research:

Statement of the problem
✔ Identification of information needed to solve the problem
✔ Selection or development of instruments for gathering the information
✔ Identification of target population and determination of sampling Plan.
✔ Design of procedure for information collection
✔ Collection of information
✔ Analysis of information
✔ Generalizations and/or predictions
DATA COLLECTION
Data collection took place with the help of filling of questionnaires. The questionnaire method
has come to the more widely used and economical means of data collection. The common factor
in all varieties of the questionnaire method is this reliance on verbal responses to questions,
written or oral. I found it essential to make sure the questionnaire was easy to read and
understand to all spectrums of people in the sample. It was also important as researcher to
respect the samples time and energy hence the questionnaire was designed in such a way, that its
administration would not exceed 4-5 mins. These questionnaires were personally administered.
The first hand information was collected by making the people fill the questionnaires. The
primary data collected by directly interacting with the people. The respondents were contacted at
shopping malls, markets, places that were near to showrooms of the consumer durable products

etc. The data was collected by interacting with 200 respondents who filled the questionnaires
and gave me the required necessary information. The respondents consisted of housewives,
students, businessmen, professionals etc. the required information was collected by directly
interacting with these respondents.
DETERMINATION THE SAMPLE PLAN AND SAMPLE SIZE

TARGET POPULATION
It is a description of the characteristics of that group of people from whom a course is intended.
It attempts to describe them as they are rather than as the describer would like them to be. Also
called the audience the audience to be served by our project includes key demographic
information (i.e.; age, sex etc.).The specific population intended as beneficiaries of a program.
This will be either all or a subset of potential users, such as adolescents, women, rural residents,
or the residents of a particular geographic area. Topic areas: Governance, Accountability and
Evaluation, Operations Management and Leadership. A population to be reached through some
action or intervention; may refer to groups with specific demographic or geographic
characteristics. The group of people you are trying to reach with a particular strategy or activity.
The target population is the population I want to make conclude an ideal situation; the sampling
frames to matches the target population. A specific resource set that is the object or target of
investigation. The audience defined in age, background, ability, and preferences, among other
things, for which a given course of instruction is intended.
I have selected the sample trough Simple random Sampling
SAMPLE SIZE:

This involves figuring out how many samples one need.
The numbers of samples you need are affected by the following factors:
• Project goals
• How you plan to analyze your data
• How variable your data are or are likely to be
• How precisely you want to measure change or trend
• The number of years over which you want to detect a trend
• How many times a year you will sample each point
• How much money and manpower you have
SAMPLE SIZE
I have targeted 150people in the age group above 21 years for the purpose of the research. The
target population influences the sample size. The target population represents the Delhi regions. .
The people were from different professional backgrounds.
The details of our sample are explained in chapter named primary research where the divisions
are explained in demographics section.
ERRORS IN THE STUDY
Interviewer error
There is interviewer bias in the questionnaire method. Open-ended questions can be biased by
the interviewer’s views or probing, as interviewers are guiding the respondent while the
questionnaire is being filled out. The attitudes the interviewer revels to the respondent during the

interview can greatly affect their level of interest and willingness to answer openly. As
interviewers, probing and clarifications maximize respondent understanding and yield complete
answers, these advantages are offset by the problems of prestige seeking, social desirability and
courtesy biases.
Questionnaire error
The questionnaire designing has to careful so that only required data is concisely reveled and
there is no redundant data generated. The questions have to be worded carefully so that the
questions are not loaded and does not lead to a bias in the respondents mind
Respondent error
The respondents selected to be interviewed were not always available and willing to co operate
also in most cases the respondents were found to not have the knowledge, opinion, attitudes or
facts required additionally uninformed response errors and response styles also led to survey
error.
Sampling error
We have taken the sample size of 150, which cannot determine the buying behavior of the total
population. The sample has been drawn from only National Capital Region.
Research Design
Research design is a conceptual structure within which research was conducted. A research
design is the detailed blueprint used to guide a research study towards its objective. It is a series
of advanced decision taken together comprising a master plan or a model for conducting the

research in consonance with the research objectives. Research design is needed because it
facilitates the smooth sailing of the various research operations, thereby making research as
efficient as possible yielding maximum information with the minimum effort, time and money.
Scope and the Limitation of the study
➢ The scope of study is limited to the respondents are selected from in and around
Allahabad, U.P
.
➢ The project is carried out for the period of 45 days only.
➢ Measurement of customer satisfaction is complex subjects, which uses non-objectives

method, which is not reliable.
➢ The sample unit was also 150 respondents.
➢ However, Mahindra and Mahindra Automobile showrooms are located in other places i.e.
locally and even in the neighboring states. Only opinion of respondents of Allahabad city
was consider for finding out the opinions of respondents.
