                      currently

                      •Launched in
                      2009

                      •Designed and
                      manufactured

What makes it so cheap?

Tata's Market Share




Commercial Vehicles




                  Passenger Vehicles
PESTLE Analysis
Political
•Tax reductions applied to the specific vehicle segments
(utility vehicles and multi-purpose vehicles)

•The growth of exports in the industry are strong
specifically in Asia and Africa

•FDI rules have been left quite open to allow business
to prosper in the country

•Labour regulations should be closely monitored
specifically if doing business with other countries
(i.e. any acquisitions, joint ventures)

•Different parts or regions of India offer incentives
such as tax and excise duty benefits
PESTLE Analysis
Economic/Financial
•Fastest automotive market in Asia

•Global recession had an impact on the industry and
caused for funding to be limited, this would also have
an impact on plants that have employees being
represented by unions, and therefore eliminating jobs
due to low productivity

•Pricing and currency would have an effect on the
production of vehicles and would define on its worth
of exporting to other countries
PESTLE Analysis
Socio-cultural
•India’s population 1.14 billion

•The focus to shift on how to serve the bottom of the
pyramid is quite crucial as they represent about 250
to 300 million people of the Indian population

•By 2020 disposable income will grow significantly
allowing the population to have a greater purchasing
power
PESTLE Analysis
Technological
•India has approximately 4 million vehicles on Indians
roads, this shows that infrastructure is there and has
a potential for the industry to grow.

•Qualified engineers in India have allowed the
industry to focus on R&D initiatives and focus on how
to build innovative products

Legal
•The end result of the production of a vehicle has to
follow regulatory and safety requirements
•In India, the requirement is to achieve Euro 4
emission regulation
•Numerous patents related to 'small' car
PESTLE Analysis
Ecological
•This industry is building vehicles that are environmentally
friendly, which would mean that if a product is cheap it
would not attain such requirements. Depending on the
country, in this case India there is a specific
environmental requirement, and if not will it meet the
needs of other countries (the rest of Asia and Africa).
5 Forces Analysis
             Threat of New Entrants
     •Extremely High Risk in the ultra low cost car segment

             Suzuki 800 is already on the market
              Ford will release at car for $7,600
            Toyota will release a car for $10,826
            Hyundai will release a care for $3,700
            Dodge will release the Dodge Hornet
           Renault Nissan will release a $3,000 car
               *everything can be duplicated
5 Forces Analysis
             Bargaining Power of Buyers
                            •Moderate Risk

            Buyers already forced the closer of one location
                 due to uproar of farming community

   With more options being released on the market the customers will
  have the power to insist on more value added options while going for
                               low pricing.
5 Forces Analysis
               Threat of Substitutes
                       •Moderate Risk

                           Walking
                       2 wheel vehicles
                      Car pooling/sharing
     As India’s economy continues to grow a public transit
                 system may become an option
5 Forces Analysis
            Bargaining Power of Suppliers
                               •High Risk

         70% of the suppliers are local and can easily supply the
            same concept parts to the other manufacturers

  Suppliers were heavily involved in the design process of the Tata Nano

          Increased demand for parts may result in higher prices
5 Forces Analysis
          Rivalry Among Existing Competitors

                              •Extremely High Risk

    It appears that both Hyundai and Renault Nissan are in the same price
           bracket and making a play for the same target customers

        With respect to the Tato Nano going to the US, in order to meet
 stronger regulations the price will increase and there is already a large supply
                         of low cost vehicles in the US.

 Firm Infrastructure           Production and warehousing..

                        Tata owns tech companies + Strong focus on
 Technology             R&D (2000 engineers)

 Operations             Strangle hold on inputs for their suppliers
Diversified Suppliers
Pricing Strategy

                       Strategy (vs
                        skimming)



                         Double the price ≠
                         Double the value
TOWS
External Opportunities                                 External Threats
•   recession / hard economic times                    •   fuel costs
•   BRIC economy growth                                •   recession / hard economic times
•   demand for smaller cars (congestion and env’t)     •   head hunters / poachers
•   growth of local car buying market                  •   volitality and pressure of competition high in
•   opportunity to expand model to other BRIC              auto industry
    economies


Internal Strengths
•   able to up capacity in previous case so proven it’s doable (pg 4 of case)
•   brand strength / awareness = strong domestic player 64% market share in India, leader in commercial
    market)
•   first to market advantage R & D (37 patents for Nano, over 3000 engineers)
•   supplier / partner relationships demand driven
•   large portfolio with global presence



Internal Weaknesses
•   Safety concerns
•   inability to produce products to meet
    demand in timely manner
•   People don't want to buy 'worlds cheapest car, customers want
    trendy
TOWS strategies
WO Mini-Maxi" Strategy
•Minimize weaknesses, maximize opportunity
•Form strategic alliances to ramp up production (W2) and address safety
concerns simultaneously (W1)
•Have first mover advantage but not able to capitalize on it, they
have opportunity, so work on building capacity quickly (W2)
•If they can do this, then quickly need to go to ST and minimize threat of
competition
•Keep low price point, same product focus, change positioning (O1, O3, W3)
•seek potential other markets to 'try again' (O2, O4)


                             WT Mini-Mini" Strategy
                             •If they're not careful they may need to fall to
                             retrenchment strategy or merge so they can
                             quickly change and expand to meet market
                             demand / opportunity

1. Not what they thought. Value Erosion – Egotism &
   Growth for Growth sake.
2. Ramp Up NOW but unlikely...
3. Exit via merger but probably not viable.... so just....
