HONDA IN INDIA
Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., (HSCI) was incorporated in December 1995 as a joint venture between Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Japan and Siel Limited, a Siddharth Shriram Group company, with a commitment to providing Hondas latest passenger car models and technologies, to the Indian customers. The Honda City, its first offering introduced in 1997, revolutionized the Indian passenger car market and has ever since been recognized as an engineering marvel in the Indian automobile industry. The success of City as well as all its other models has led HSCI to become the leading premium car manufacturer in India. The total investment made by the company in India till date is Rs. 1620 crores, further investment of RS. 1000 crore is planned and being currently invested for the coming second plant in Rajasthan. The company has a capacity of manufacturing 100,000 cars.
Page 15
The initial installed capacity of the plant was 30,000 cars per annum, which was thereafter increased to 50,000 cars on a two-shift basis. The capacity has further been enhanced to 1, 00,000 units annually in February 2008. The capacity expansion was necessitated by the excellent performance of all the Honda models, particularly the growing demand for City in India. Several modifications were done by the company with the objective of offering higher quality products to its customers, faster and quicker. The expansion process also included expansion of the covered area in the plant, from 1,07,000 sq. m. to 1,31,794 sq. m.

ABOUT HONDA
The history of the Honda Motor Company began with the vision of one man - Soichiro Honda. His dream was personal mobility for everyone.
Soichiro Honda founded the Honda Motor Company in 1948. In the same year, he designed and engineered the first product of this company - a 50 cc motorized bike on a bicycle frame - in his small shed at Hamamatsu.
'Challenging the Limits' is a phrase commonly heard across the length and breadth of Honda. It was made popular by its founder, Soichiro Honda, who knew that his fledgling company had to out-think and out-perform its competitors every step of the way in order to survive. After all, he started out at a time when his country was devastated by war.
Page 19
Soichiro's vision was international in character. His desire was to lead the world in technology, and make a significant contribution to the creation of a better society. As a result, most of the products that Honda developed started out by making a difference. Whether it was the CVCC engine in the sixties or the solar powered car of the nineties, they all sought to challenge and overcome conventional wisdom.
World's Toughest Training Tracks- No story of Honda is complete without the mention of motor sports. Honda started participating in racing at the highest level much before it found international acclaim as a manufacturer. Once again, it was Soichiro Honda who was the driving force. He considered the highly competitive world of motor sports as the ideal training ground for his people. Through racing, Honda engineers learnt to accomplish more than they ever dreamed possible within limited amounts of time. They become quicker at responding to the technological challenges that arise in the commercial world.
Honda's belief in the benefits of racing is sincere and unwavering. The company has invested millions of dollars in building two world-class racing circuits. The Suzuka opened its gates in September 1962. Located in northern Japan, it has become an integral part of the Grand Prix calendar. The Twin Ring Motegi, on the other hand, is a racing circuit for fans. Inaugurated in August 1997, it offers an oval-shaped Super Speedway, an Active Safety Training Park and the extremely popular Honda automobile museum.
Honda is already, and literally, making big strides in the development of the world's first humanoid robot. Christened ASIMO, it is designed on the presumption that if a
JAIN GROUP INSTITUTIONS Page 20
robot could walk like a human, it may be able to work like one. Honda is also taking to the skies with its very own aircraft technology. It took a 30-man team only six years to develop a prototype. Together, these diverse ideas prove the one central maxim that is dear to everyone at Honda - Challenging the Limits.

LESSONS FROM ORGANIZATION Practical training is one of the important aspects of study of B.B.A (Bachelor of Business Administration) for getting theoretical & practical knowledge. Such training is most helpful for augmenting the skills, ability, & also capability of the students. To get the job
Page 54
the theoretical as well as practical knowledge is required. Hence the study of management is very important.
I am studying in BHARATESH COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. In this 2nd year, 30 days training for preparing project report is essential. It was a wonderful experience during the training at the APEX HONDA. And I have also come to know that a big gap exists between theoretical knowledge that we have learnt and analyzed in practically. At Apex I studied that for the success of any organization lies among the coordination between the employees of different Departments of the organization.
I, here, have put unique emphasis on organization study of APEX HONDA based on our learning & understanding.
