Introduction:
The EV market is expected to grow at CAGR of 44% between 2020-2027 and is expected
to hit 6.34 million-unit annual sales by 2027.The EV industry will create five core direct
and indirect jobs by 2030.
A market size of $50 billion for the financing of EV’s in 2020 has been identified-about
80% of the current size of India’s retail vehicle finance industry, worth $60 billion today.
India’s passenger vehicle industry is expected to post a growth of 22% in FY 100% FDI
allowed under automatic route.
With battery costs declining faster than anticipated, EV economics become favorable as
battery costs decline; the five year TCO becomes favorable over any alternative in most
markets. Additionally, consumers benefit from financial (e.g., subsidies) & non-financial
incentives (e.g., road access, registration privileges).
The number of EV operating in the medium and heavy passenger vehicle category
increased from 124 in 2018 to 1,356 as of 6 August 2021, 3.87 lakh EV and 6,740 electric
buses were sold in India under fame India scheme as of August 2021.
Industry Scenario:
The $118 billion automobile industry is expected to reach $300 billion by 2026. India’s
annual production in FY 2020 was 26.36 million vehicles. In the automobile market in
India, two-wheelers and passenger cars accounted for 80.8% and 12.9% market share,
respectively, accounting for a combined sale over 20.1 million vehicles in FY 20.
Passenger car sales are dominated by small and midsized cars.
Overall, Indian automobile export reached 4.77 million vehicles in FY20, implying in
CARG of 6.94% between FY16-FY20. Two-wheelers constituted 73.9% of the total
vehicles exported, followed by passenger vehicles at 14.2%, three-wheelers at 10.5% and
commercial vehicles at 1.3%.
Industry Trends:
We’ve identified a few trends that will define the future of the auto industry in this ever-
evolving landscape.
Customers are increasingly looking up cars online. Right from enquiry to delivery, the
digital transformation in the auto takes various customer touch points online. Customer
benefit from a much more personalized and user-friendly experience, while carmaker and
dealers can target and engage with them better.
Estimated to grow at a CARG of 44% between 2020-27, the EV market is buzzing with
new players , with a boost from Government incentives. The growth of electric mobility is
backed by removing the battery from the new vehicle sales, leading to less upfront cost,
reduced GST, and sustainable mobility solutions.
The growing popularity of EVs is a great opportunity for corporate and businesses to
redefine their mobility and to adopt greener fleets with EVs and PHEVs. This not only
helps businesses reach their sustainability targets, but may also help in cutting costs, in the
long-term.
Vehicle connectivity:
Still in the early days, but Indian roads are seeing a growing number of ‘connected’
vehicles. With car brands like MG and KIA launching successful models with factory-
fitted connectivity features that allow internet access and data sharing with external
devices, consumers seem to have taken to the trend. This reflects in the projection of about
1.7million connected cars on Indians by 2022.
Businesses and corporate are constantly looking to better their mobility, especially when it
comes to car fleets. Technology is at the core of this modernization, as we see in the rising
trend of using telemetric and data in the optimization of company fleets. One of the fastest-
growing sectors, it is surging on with a CARG of about 16% (2016-20). Telemeters can
enable navigation, safety, security and communication, while providing useful data on the
fleet’s performance.
The used car market has seen a steady growth of 6.2% between 2016 and 2020, despite a
slowdown in new car sale during the same period. This trend is owned to the rising number
millennia’s in the workforce. Changing consumer behavior has reflected in the reduced
ownership period of cars, which now stands at around 3-5 years. Other factors like the
transition from BS-IV to BS-VI, GST rates differential on purchase of a used car vs new
car, etc. also contribute to this trend, which is still growing, as more people prefer a
personal vehicle versus public transport.
In recent times, we’ve seen that new models and mobility solutions such as car leasing,
subscription, data monetization and shared mobility etc. have emerged as a new profit
centers. This can be attributed to the rise of vehicle utilization due to shared mobility and
the saturation of vehicle ownership in developed countries. Car leasing, in-vehicle
connectivity, subscriptions and long-term maintenance packages are expected to capture a
large share of the profit pool.
In conclusion, these disruptive trends across areas like changing customer preferences,
digitization, electrification, government reforms, technological advancements and
evolving needs of our customers, and helps them adapt to changing times via our efficient
vehicle leasing solutions.

Kia India expects to record 10% growth at 2.8 lakh units in 2023
The Korean automaker which entered the India market in 2019, said it has been focused
on growing at twice the pace of the market. Last year the industry grew at 23% and Kia
marked a YoY growth of 40%. In 2023, the industry's growth is pegged anywhere around
5% and the maker of Seltos and Sonet expects to grow at 10%. Going forward,
headwinds like inflation, hike in interest rates and the global crisis may impact the growth
of the industry.
New Delhi: Kia, which grabbed about 6.7% market share in the Indian passenger vehicle
(PV) market during CY 2022, is confident of tracing the growth trajectory for this year as
well where it expects to record a year-on-year growth of 10% or even more. In CY 2022,
the company clocked 2.54 lakh unit sales in the domestic market which is expected to grow
to 2.80 lakh units in CY 2023.
“We have been able to grab this market share by growing at twice the pace of the market.
Last year the industry grew at 23% and Kia was up by 40%. This year the industry is pegged
anywhere around 5% and hopefully we will grow at 10%. In the process, if the market
share increases, that would be a bonus,” Hardeep Singh Brar, Vice President and Head of
Marketing and Sales, Kia India, told ETAuto.
The Korean automaker which entered the Indian market with Seltos in August 2019, now
sells five models in the country- Seltos, Sonet, Carnival, Carens and EV6. Now it has no
plans to launch a new vehicle during 2023.
By selling 45,494 units in the first five months of its foray in the Indian market, it grabbed
a market share of 1.5% in 2019. In the following year, Kia entered the Top 5 OEM list and
took 5.8% of the pie.
Globally, Kia has announced plans to drive in 14 battery electric models (BEVs) by 2027.
One of these will also be sold in India- a locally manufactured mass market electric PV to
be launched in the country in 2025.
The South Korean automaker's global portfolio includes different body styles including
sedans. For India, it remains focused on SUVs and MPVs. “When we entered India, we
were very clear that the shift is happening towards recreational vehicles (RVs) i.e SUVs
and MPVs. We want to stay focused on this because there's a lot of strength in being
focused on a small portfolio, which now occupies about 50% share. Five years ago it was
less than 25% and we took a call that we want to be in this space and it really worked well
for us. We want to be known as a company which is into RV and not into small cars. It also
gives a flip to our brand. We want to stay focused on this product portfolio,” he said.
At the ongoing Auto Expo 2023, the automaker showcased a luxury recreational vehicle
(RV) KA4 and an electric SUV Concept EV9. First unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show
in November 2021, EV9 will be launched in international markets in the first quarter of
2023. However, Brar did not share the timeline for its India launch.
Kia has also announced an investment of INR 2,000 core in India for EV related R&D,
manufacturing, and infrastructure development.
Going forward, the company expects that headwinds like inflation, hike in interest rates
and the global crisis may impact the industry growth. “As of now, it looks like the industry
would hit about 4 million passenger vehicles in this calendar year.” In 2022, the industry
recorded highest-ever domestic sales volumes of 3.8 million PVs.

CHAPTER 2
Job satisfaction is an attitude which results from balancing and summation of many
specific likes and dislikes experienced in connections with job their evaluation may rest
largely upon one’s success or failure in the achievement of personal objective and upon
perceived combination of the job and combination towards these ends.
Job satisfaction survey can give the most valuable information about the preparation and
cause for satisfaction among the employees attitude towards job satisfaction may be either
positive or negative. This positive feeling can be rectified this survey can be treated as the
most effective & efficient way, which makes the workers to express their inner and real
assets undoubtedly.
Employee attitude are important to management because they determine the behaviour of
workers in the organization. The commonly hold opinion is that ‘A satisfied worker is a
productive worker’. A satisfied work force will create a pleasant atmosphere within the
organization to perform well. Thus, attainment of a high level performance through
productivity and efficiency has always been an organizational goal of high priority. In order
to do that highly satisfied work force is an absolutely necessity for achieving a high level
of performance advancement of an organization. Hence job satisfaction has become a
major topic for the study.
Job Satisfaction:
Job satisfaction is one of the major interests in the field of organizationalbehavior and the
practice of HRM. It refers employee’s attitude towards job and commitment to an
organization. job satisfaction refers to one’s feelings or state of mind regarding the nature
of their work. It describes how content an individual is with his or job.
Job satisfaction refers to a person’s feelings of satisfaction on the job. which acts as a
motivation to work. It is not self-satisfaction, Happiness or self-contentment but
satisfaction on the job.
Job satisfaction is defined as the pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal
of one’s job achieving or facilitating the achievement of one’s job values.
Bullock (1952) defined job satisfaction as an attitude, which results from balancing and
summation of many specific likes dislikes experienced in connection with the job.Smith
(1955) defined to job satisfaction as the employee’s judgment of how well his job on whole
is satisfying his various needs.
There are six dimensions that represent the most important characteristics of a job about
which people have effective response.
Compensation
Career growth
Supervision
Co-workers
Work Environment
Fulfillment Theory:
 This measures satisfaction in terms of reward. A person receives or the extent to which
his needs are satisfied. Further they thought that there is a direct relationship between job
satisfaction and actual satisfaction of the expected needs. Thus job satisfaction can’t be
regard a merely a function of how much a person receives.
Discrepancy Theory:
 The proponents of this theory argues that satisfaction is the function of what a person
actually receives from his job situation and he thinks he should receive or what expect to
receive. When the actual satisfaction is derived less than expected satisfaction. It results
dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are function are functions of the
perceived relationship between what one wants from ones job & what one perceives it is
offering.
Equity Theory:
The proponents of this theory are is viewed that person satisfaction is determined by this
perceived equity in turn is determined by his input output balance compared to this
comparison of others input output balance. Input output balance is perceived rate of what
a person receives from his job relative to what he contributes to the job. This theory is of
the view that both under the over reward causes feeling of unfair treatment over reward
leads to feelings guilt and discomfort.
The theory was developed by Herzberg, Munsee, Peterson and Cropwell who identified
certain factors as satisfies and dissatisfies. Factors such as achievement, recognition,
responsibility etc, are satisfies, the presence of which causes satisfaction by their absence
between doesn’t result in job satisfaction.
Personal Factors:
These sources include worker’s age, sex, education, marital status and their personal
characteristics, family background, socio economic background etc.
Age :
The relationship between age and job satisfaction could be complex. Generally one would
expect that as the person would grow older he would grow get greater satisfaction with his
job particularly because of the experience and thereafter the case with which he would be
able to perform it.
Sex :
There is as yet no consistence as to whether women more satisfied with their jobs than
men, holding such factors as job and occupational level constant , one might predict this to
be case, considering the generally lower occupational aspiration of women.
Education level:
There is a negative relationship between educational level & job satisfaction. The higher
the education the higher reference group which the individual books to for guidance to
evaluate his job rewards.
Marital status:
There is a relationship between marital status & job satisfaction. Generally one would
assume that with increasing responsibilities placed on an individual because of production
namely men, machine, material & money. The most important is men. Motivation of the
employee can be sub divided into two groups:
1. Extrinsic factor
2. Intrinsic factor
Extrinsic factor:
Extrinsic factors are monetary related factors where an employee will have positive feeling.
Extrinsic sources of satisfaction are situational and depend on environment such as pay,
promotion or job security.
Salary :
Wages and salaries are the multidimensional and complex will have positive feeling.
Extrinsic source of satisfaction. High salary should lead to higher job satisfaction and lower
salary should lead lower job satisfaction. So many studies have found that job satisfaction
increased with increase in wages & salaries.
Job expectation:
When an employee performs job in an organisation he expects something from job. Job
satisfaction of an employee can he based on the fact to what extent his job meets the
Employee expectations. Employee satisfactions may include about working conditions.,
work, colleagues, supervision etc.
Comparison of outputs:
Person tends to compare his outcomes with the other person outcomes. The outcomes
consist of primarily of rewards such as pay, status, promotion and intrinsic interest in the
job. Comparison is mainly with ratio of the inputs or outcomes and if the ratio is equal he
will be satisfied.
Job security:
Security is a lower order need which an employee has job security has its effect on the
employee morale. An insecure person’s morale will be low and will have its effect on the
employee morale. Secure person’s will work effectively and have job satisfaction.
Performance appraisal:
As the performance appraisal is linked to promotions, rewards, feedback it has its effect on
the employee satisfaction. If the appraisal is not proper employee will be dissatisfied.
Intrinsic factors:
Intrinsic factors keep the employees motivated and make them satisfied from work. The
Human being is self-centre and king for praise. They want to be recognized and praised for
their work. They expect their superiors to recognize their efforts and praised rewarded.
This will increase their satisfaction and make them more active.
Autonomy or Freedom:
Employee desire certain amount of freedom to work. The autonomy is to take decision and
influences others. If the freedom is absent and it will have its effect on the job satisfaction.
The person, who has maximum of autonomy, will have high satisfaction. Otherwise it will
be low.
Participative management:
Participative management has a positive impact on the employee. Openness of the higher
ups towards the employee ideas will keep the employee morale high and keep him satisfied

After conducting a study on the job satisfaction among the employees at KIA Motors,
Ballari, I have identified some facts based on questionnaires. These may help the company
to increase the satisfaction level of the employees. Job satisfaction is an important criteria
in automobile industry. It is a very important determinant on rate of turnover for any
organisation. Job satisfaction by itself is a largely effected by the attitude of the employees
towards monetary any non-monetary rewards. Based on these findings the following
suggestions have been made.
In order to keep employees satisfied and retain them organisation should adopt the
following practices:
5.3 CONCLUSION
The proactive attitude together with physical and emotional resources which are brought
by the employees to the work place decides the degree of Job satisfaction amongst them.
They are not only satisfied with job but they also feel competent in work and life, which
are mutually reinforcing.
It is noticed that job satisfaction is closely related to the feelings of effectiveness on the
job. Similarly , it can only be achieved effectively by encouragement of genuine self-
confidence of the employees. such highly satisfied employees ultimately show
extraordinary devotion for mission, vision and enthusiasm for work. They are existed to
achieve mission driven changes within the shortest time. In order to face new challenges
by the individuals and group, encouragement and suitable rewards are essential from the
management.
Employees play a crucial role in any organisation as they have always contributed their
share in the form of services for the betterment of the organisation. So it is very important
the duty of the organisation to provide welfare facilities to the employees. The study has
proved that the motivation and job satisfaction is the key competent for any organisation.
 By this I conclude that the employees Job satisfaction level is very important and
generally depends on facilities provided to the employees. It motivates them to work hard,
resulting in better industrial relation between the employer and increase job satisfaction.
