INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT


The project is all about measuring the Customer satisfaction in
Hero motors. For the past few years company is trying to satisfy
its customers. The emphasis is on way of retaining customers
than on attracting new customers. It is easy to attract new

6
customers than to retain in old customers. So companies are
trying to focus on the aspect of customer satisfaction.
The sale of a product does not end with the sale transaction
but it is the point at which the original marketing concept is
start. The marketer has to see that whether the customer
satisfied with that particular product service or not. The post
purchase behaviour is important for a marketer if there is any
cognitive behaviour in the minds of customer then that is
enough to lose a customer. Giving this in mind the companies
are giving more importance to customer satisfaction for the
stop this project work has been done to find out whether a
customer is satisfied or dissatisfied also to measure the level of
customer satisfaction and provide this feedback to the
company the first phase of the project involves the collection of
information from the customer for interpreting the
characteristics based on which the customer feeds satisfied or
dissatisfied. This information is collected by preparing a
structured questionnaire the questionnaire consist of most
open-ended and closed ended questions the questionnaire is
designed in such a way that the customer feels convenient to
answer. The collected information through the questionnaire is
analysed and presented in a statistical form the findings are
listed and suggestions to solve problem faced here being give
in the suggestion part.
customer satisfaction
whether the wire satisfied after purchase depends on the offer
performance in relation to the buyer expectation in general
satisfaction of person feeling of pleasure or disappointment
resulting from comparing a production perceived performance
relation to his her expectation if the performance failed short of
expectation the customer is dissatisfied with the performance
matches the expectation customer is satisfied if the
performance exceed the expectation the customer is highly
satisfied.

7
Customer satisfaction cannot be very difficult after all you
either satisfied with the services you receive or you are not. If
you don’t you are not. If it is that easy than obtaining pupils
opinion after how satisfied they are with relatively
straightforward matter or is it customer satisfaction is a
marketing tool and definite value added benefit it is often
perceived by customers as important as the primary product or
service your organisation offers it looks at which is involved
from three different angles the first is from the view of an
organisation wishing to understand and majors how satisfied its
customer are with the product and service they receive from it
the second is from the perspective or a research agency that
has been asked to obtain feedback from customer and about
their experiences when dealing with companies finally it’s
considered the issue from the perspective of consumers who
participate in survey including both business customer and
member of general public.

WHY TWO WHEELER


NECESSARY

That two wheeler industry in India has been in existence is


1955. Is consist of three segments viz. Scooters, motorcycle,
and mopeds. The increase in sales volume of this industry is
proof of its high growth. In 1971, sales were around 0.1 million
units per annum by 1998, this figure has rising to 3 million
units per annum. Similarly, capacities of production has also
increase from about 0.2 million units of annual capacity in the
70s to more than 4 million units in late 90s

The two wheeler industry in India began its operations within


the framework of the national industrial policy are espoused by
8
the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956 (see Government of
India 1980, 1985 1992). This resolution divided the entire
industrial sector into 3 groups of which one contained industries
whose development was the exclusive responsibility of the
state, another included those industry in which both the state
and the private sector could participate and the last set of
industry that could be developed exclusive under private
initiative with the guidelines and objectives laid out by the 5
years plans. Private investment was channelized and regulated
through the extensive use of licensing giving the state
comprehensive control over the direction and pattern of
investment. Entry of firms, capacity expansion, choice of
products and capacity mix and technology, were or effectively
controlled by the state in a bid to prevent the concentration of
economic power. However due to lapse in the system, fresh
policies about in the end of the sixties.

The two wheeler industry in India has to a great extend been


shaped by the evolution of industrial policy of the country.
Regulatory policy like FERA and MRTP caused the growth of
some segments in the industry like motorcycle to stagnate.
Once foreign investment were allowed in 198. The reforms in
the eighties like ‘broad banding’ caused the entry of several
new firms and products while caused the existing technology
outdated product to lose sales volume and or exit the market.
Finally with liberalisation in the 90s the industry witnessed a
proliferation in brands and description of evolution of the two
wheeler industry in India is usefully split up into four ten year
periods. This division traces significant changes in economic
policy making. The first time period 1960-1969, was one's
during which the growth of the two wheeler industry was
fostered through means like permitting foreign time for
exchange reserve were down to the two months import there
was a large budget deficit double digit inflation and with India's
credit rating down graded , private foreign lending was cut off.
Also the gulf war in 1990 brought about increasing oil prices ,

9
and India had to import oil l for over us 2 billion dollar to Indian
(GATT secretariat, 1993)

The two wheeler industry in the 90's was characterized by an


increase in the number of brands available in the market which
caused firms to complete on the basis of fuel - efficiency which
is improved by 6o-100% in the new vehicle . In the seventies ,
motorcycle was on average between 25 to 50 kmpl (kilometre
per litre), which had now improve to 50 to 80 KMPL. For
mopeds it improved from 50 kmpl 280 kmpl output off the
engine also increase from 3-4 HP to 10 HP per 100cc. In the
scooter segment models with features like self -starter facilities,
automatic transmission system gearless riding etc. were
introduce that were traditionally not available in scooters. In
the motorcycle segment, the new 100 cc models compared well
against the existing heavier models of 250cc, 350cc etc. as
these were lighter and more fuel – efficient .

The two wheeler have played a vital role in growth of Indian


automobile industry. Over the years the domestic sale of
various brand of two wheelers have grown in large numbers.
Even in the sphere of export, the two wheeler have been able
to maximize the various profit margin of various two wheeler
manufacturers. In the recent years the two wheeler industry
has witnessed sea change.

Termination of Honda joint


venture and
29
The remaining’s

By December 2010, the board of directors of the Hero


Honda group has decided to terminate the joint venture
between Hero group of India and Honda of Japan in a
phased manner. The Hero group would buy out the 26%
stake of Honda in JV hero Honda. Under the joint
venture Hero group could not export to international
markets ( except Bangladesh, Nepal and she Lanka ) on
the termination would mean that Hero group could now
export. From the beginning, the Hero group relied on
their Japanese partner Honda for technology.

Honda exit excited the joint venture through a series of


off market transaction by giving the munjal family,
which held us 26% stake in the company. Honda,
wanting to focus only on its independent fully owned 2
Wheeler subsidiary, Honda motorcycle and scooter
India HMSI exited HERO Honda at a discount and get
over rupees 6,400 crore (equivalent to rupees 140
billion or US dollars 1.7 billion in 2023) for its stake. The
discount was between 30% and 50% to the current
value of Honda’s state as per the price of the stock
after the market closed on 16 December 2010 .

The rising difference between two partners gradually


emerged as a very tender. Differences had been

30
freely share technology with Hero (despite a 10 year
technology tie - up that expired in 2014) as well has
Indian partners uneasiness over high royalty pay outs
to the Japanese company. Another major irritant for
Honda was the refusal of Hero Honda , (mainly
managed by munjal family), to merge the companies
spare parts business with Honda’s new fully owned
subsidiary HMSL .

As for the arrangement, it was two- leg deal: in the


first part. The Munjal family former lead by Brij Mohan
Lal Munjal group formed overseas incorporated special
purpose vehicle SPV to buy out Honda entire stake,

SUGGESTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATION
 It is very hard to hold the pulse of a customer in the
market. Customers satisfaction is different for different
people at different situations.
 Majority of the respondents were still unaware about
different versions of Hero bikes. Therefore I suggest the
company persons should take initiative to create
awareness about the versions.
 Few of the customer expressed concern over frequency of
the maintenance and service problems faced by their
vehicle and re developed in order to stop the frequency of
these problems.
 Hero MotoCorp want to give more importance in there
service part it’s include timely service, and quality of
service.
 Hero want to develop more promotion for their service
part ifs include timely service, and quality of service.
 Hero want to develop more promotion for their some
models like sports bikes and gear less scooters.
 Hero bike want to increase their export market.
 Hero MotoCorp Ltd. Should try to give more
advertisement in news paper, bill boards in that area to
enable easy recall of the people for Hero MotoCorp Ltd.

Conclusion of The Project

Customer satisfaction is a marketing tool and a


definite value added benefit . It is often perceived
by customer as important as the primary product
or service your organisation offers.
For making a better relationship with the
customer they always use genuine parts in their
product. And after selling they have the services
and maintenance. Their constant endeavour is to
support the company mandate of providing
highest level of customer satisfaction by taking
good care of customer two wheeler service and
maintenance through their vast network of more
than 2100 committed dealers and service outlets
spread across the country.
Apart from that Hero MotoCorp Ltd. Focused on
cleanliness and other aesthetic of the service
stations and add such air conditioned waiting
area, Internet surfing, coffee shops etc to
enhance the in house experience of the
customers at those customers touch point . To
ensure that millions of customers in rural area
are not left waiting for adequate service as it is
impossible for the company to introduce service
stations at every nook and corner of the country,
mobile service stations are regularly arranged

82
with prior intimation to public about the rout
that the mobile workshop would take when
passing through that region so that customer can
come and get their two wheeler serviced . All
these activities are aimed to increase the
customer loyalty and thus retaining customers.
