PREFACE

In todays competitive environment, survival of the fittest is the new motto. That is why
its necessary that the theoretical knowledge is accompanied by practical knowledge. In
an MBA programme, project study forms an important and an integral part. It helps in
bridging the gap between the two main important aspects the theoretical as well
practical knowledge.

Knowledge and Human Power are synonyms, once said the great philosopher Francis
Bacon. However based on the experience within todays global markets, he would
probably say, The ability to capture, communicate & leverage knowledge to solve
problems is human power. This raises the question how exactly one can best capture,
communicate & leverage knowledge, especially within world of system engineering.

As a part of this M.B.A. degree, we have to prepare a global country study report, which
is designed keeping the prerogative and preferences of industry. The global country
study report Project allows us to implement what we have learned within the four walls
of classroom and implement it in this comprehensive Project.

This Report that we are submitting intends to highlight our versatility in sustaining the
pulls and pressure of day to day professional life and put to perspective the facts that
we are capable enough to deliver whenever a challenge is thrown to us.

This Report is divided into three parts. The First Part gives the general information about
the stock market. The Second Part gives the introduction of the study, and last third part
consists of Research Analysis and Conclusion on the basis of particular Research Process.
At the end we have provided a shortlist of the reference booksand the sites that
provided useful information during the project.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We have the pleasure to present here with the study work by way of A GLOBAL
COUNTRY STUDY REPORT Working on this report has been a great learning experience.

SUMMARY PART 1

The population is young, with 30 percent under the age of 15 and only 6 percent over
65. Life expectancy is 68.25 years for men and 73.94 years for women.

English is the official language, and religious worship is largely Christian. The Baptist
church has the biggest following (32 percent), with the Anglican, The literacy rate is
high, almost 100 percent. Most Bahamians reside in urban areas

Relatively speaking Bahamians take religion seriously. Most are devout Christians. It is
not uncommon for everyday speech to the peppered with verses from the Bible and
government programs or events and opened with short prayers. Sunday is a day for
church going and prayer. People dress up in their best clothes to attend religious
services.

English is the official language and is widely spoken. Creole is used among Haitian
immigrants.

The culture is often told in the colorful brush strokes of traditional art, in a unique
rhythmic music in long held traditions as told in popular folklore in an enduring oral
tradition. It is a culture that has evolved from a mixture of mostly African, combined
with some British colonial and American influences, to a unique and colorful style of
Bahamian self expression. English is the official language of The Bahamas.

The Bahamas telecommunications infrastructure is in its infancy. Blessed with a thriving


tourism industry and favored for its offshore financial services, keeping up with the
technology boom is slow in coming. Both these sectors are actively acquiring
information technology and spurring advancements in policy and infrastructure.
A major contribution to the recent growth in the overall Bahamian economy is Cerner
International's Atlantis Resort and Casino, which took over the former Paradise Island
Resort and has provided a much needed boost to the economy. In addition, the opening
of Breezes Super Club and Sandals Resort also aided this turnaround. The Bahamian
Government also has adopted a proactive approach to courting foreign investors and
has conducted major investment missions to the Far East, Europe, Latin America,
and Canada. The primary purpose of the trips was to restore the reputation of The
Bahamas in these markets.

The Bahamian Government responds to local concerns about foreign competition and
tends to protect Bahamian business and labor interests. As a result of domestic
resistance to foreign investment and high labor costs, growth can stagnate in sectors
which the government wishes to diversify.

The Bahamas has received assistance from the World Intellectual Property Rights
Organization (WIPO) in the field of copyright legislation. In the late 1990s, The Bahamas
was part of a WIPO fact-finding mission to study a regional approach to collectively
managing copyright in the Caribbean.

Population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status,
religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. Eighty-five percent of
the Bahamian population is of African heritage. About two-thirds of the population lives
on New Providence Island (the location ofNassau), and about half of the remaining one-
third lives on Grand Bahama (the location of Freeport).
STEEPLED analysis is a means of conducting a scan of an organizations external
environmental, with particular reference to the future and any changes that may come
about. The purpose of STEEPLED is to identify factors that may impact on the services,
customers (or Patients), products, markets, staff, profitability, etc. of the organization.
The beliefs, opinions, and general attitude of all the stakeholders in a company will
affect how well a company performs. This includes every stakeholders from the CEO and
president, down to the line-workers who screw the door panel into place from the
investor to the customer, the culture and attitude of all these people will ultimately
determine the future of a company and whether they eill be profitable or not. Tata
Motors views the economy from a global perspective with operations across the entire
globe. However they also maintain a local market understanding and knowledge when it
comes to product positioning and placement throughout the different markets Tata
conducts business. In 2004 Tata Motors acquired Daewoo Commercial Vehicle
Company, which was at the time Koreas second largest truck maker. Rather than using
de-culturation or assimilating Daewoo, Tata took an integrated approach, and continued
building and marketing Daewoos current models as well as introducing a few new
models globally just it had been done under Korean management. the new acquisition
of Jaguar and Land Rover, Tata will have to be careful with how they handle the
acquisition. While Land Rover is thriving while under the helm of Ford, Jaguar war more
of the trouble child. Jaguar cost Ford some $10 billion during its 18-year stewardship
and its sales were in headlong decline, especially in America, its most important market.
Industry analysis also struggled to see what value Tata could add that had eluded Ford,
and what synergies there could be between a maker of trucks and basic cars and two
luxury marquees. Separation could be a good approach for the immediate future to
keep the name of Jaguar and Land Rover distinguishable and associated with the luxury
automobile market. Overall, Tata does a good job of integrating some aspects of their
large multi-national conglomerate into new acquisition, however the company must
also understand that from separation from the name Tata can be valuable in some social
areas.
Employing 1,400 scientist and engineers, Tata Motors R&D team is ahead of the pack in
Indias market and right with rest of the field internationally. Among Tatas firsts are
the first indigenously developed Light Commercial Vehicle, Indians first Sport Utility
Vehicle and in 1998, the Tata Indica, Indias first fully indigenous passengers car, as well
as the increasingly famous Tata Nano, which is projected to be the worlds cheapest
production car. In the automotive industry, it is becoming increasingly crucial for
manufacturers to stay on top of the technology curve with new problems always rising
such as escalating gas prices and pollution problems. Tata recognizes this and dedicates
lots of resources and time into research and development to be even with or preferably
ahead of other competitors, global trends, and changing economics. In all, an
automobile manufacturing must change, adapt and evolve to stay competitive in the
automotive game, and this is exactly what Tata is doing with their rapid growth, and
extensive research and development.

Tata Motors also has to pay close attention to shifts in currency rate throughout the
world. Currency fluctuations can equate to higher or lower demands for Tata vehicles
which in turn affect profitability. It can also mean a rise in cost or a drop in returns. But
they also have to pay attention to not just the domestic currency, the rupee, but also to
the dollar, euro and pound, to just name a few Attention to currency is important
because it influences where capital investment while developed prosper. Tata Motors
must have a full comprehension of the governing bodies and laws regulating commerce
in the home country, the United Kingdom, but also in countries Jaguar and Land Rover
operate in. in accordance, Tatas headquarters in Mumbai, India, strictly controls and
regulates operations in all dealerships and subsidiaries, in addition to knowing and
abiding by all labor laws in the multiple countries where they have manufacturing plants
it has to watch political changes. This will be especially vital in the futures as Tata
Motors continues to expand and grow into new markets. While currently about 18% of
its revenues are through organic and inorganic growth routes (Tata.com). The
foundation of the companys growth internationally is a deep understand of economic
stimulation, customer needs, and individual government regulations and laws. Although
it is the headquarters ultimate responsibility to make sure each individual office and
branch is operating and abiding by the local laws, it will become increasingly more
important for that duty to be taken care of at the regional or even local level.

On March 26th 2008, Tata Motors reached an agreement with Ford to purchase Jaguar
and Land Rover. In order to be capable of this acquisition, Tata Motors must have a full
comprehension of the governing bodies and laws regulating commerce in the home
country.

In terms of gross domestic product per capita, the Bahamas is one of the richest
countries in the Americas. It received independence from Great Britain in 1973. Most of
the population is descended from African slaves many of whom were brought to The
Bahamas by British loyalists who left the United States after the Revolutionary War.
besides on the Island of New Providence, where Nassau is located, and in Freeport on
the island of Grand Bahamas. Smaller settlements are scattered over several of the
other islands of The Bahamas, known as Family Islands.

In recent years the automobile industries in Bahamas is growing by leaps and bounds. In
Bahamas it is the fastest growing automobile industries in globally.

The Bahamas automobile industries is manufacturing over 11 million vehicles and


exporting about 1.5 million every year.

The active official level dialogue in trade issues facilitates multiple forms of co-operation
between Bahamas and India. The India-Bahamas Joint Commission deals with questions
concerning bilateral trade relations; their development and potential, as well as trade
barriers, and examines scope for new modes of co-operation.

The most topical areas of co-operation currently are found within environment and
science & technology.

The Bahamas is a member of the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), Canadas CARIBCAN
Program, and the European Unions Economic Partnership Agreement. The Bahamas
officially welcomes foreign investment in tourism, banking, agricultural and industrial
areas that generate local employment, especially white-collar or skilled jobs.

While the industry is highly intensive in nature in case of four wheelers, capital intensity
is a lot less for two-wheelers.

Though three wheelers and tractor have low barriers to entry in terms of technology,
four wheelers is technology intensive.

The automobile industry one of the core sectors has undergone metamorphosis with
the advent of new business and manufacturing practices in the light of liberalization and
globalization.

Examples of Indian automobile industry in India- ford motors, Audi, maruti- suzuki,
Mahindra and Mahindra, fiat etc.

Indians automobile market has grown steadily over the last seven to eight years, with
the exceptions of the global downturn were felt, primarily in sales of commercial
vehicles. However, even during the downturn, the two-wheelers and three-wheelers
segments, which were until then experiencing low growth or losing volumes, bucked the
trend.

India is the emerging automobile sector in the rural area and urban area also in last few
years. India gets the opportunity in the development sector of the two-wheelers, three-
wheelers and other vehicles. In the year 2007-08 India capita low in starting points but
the Bahamas and india can tremendous growth to each other and make the comparable
development in the last few years.

Now a days the Indian consumers or buyers has growing the knowledge of the market
for buying the vehicles and automobile sector also know about the consumer needs, so
both sides need can growing the sales of automobile industry increase in India.
The Bahamas imports nearly all its food and manufactured goods. The Bahamas is a
major market for American exports to the Caribbean, albeit one that has declined slowly
in recent years. With few domestic resources and little industry,

India export to Bahamas more thats good for the India. India is less import from
Bahamas. India export to Bahamas more thats way the foreign currency of Bahamas
come to the India and its good for the India and also increases the economic growth of
the country.

India and the Bahamas are members of NAM, G-77, WIPO, WTO (Observer), the United
Nations, and its various subsidiary bodies.

Convergence of views on various important contemporary issues, shared concerns,


aspirations, and excellent cooperation at various multilateral form has largely shaped
and dominated India-Bahamas bilateral relations.

Bilateral trade between India and Bahamas has been fluctuating depending upon import
and export of a particular item in a particular year. IT products/services,
pharmaceuticals, manufactured goods and auto parts are the major areas of Indias
export interests.

Summary part 2

Sanpin Motors Limited is a solely owned Bahamian company commercial business


founded on March 19th, 1979 with a total staff of 16 persons.
Sanpin is the distributor for both Nissan and Kia vehicles with a full line of spare parts,
service, body repairs as well as vehicle rust proofing department.

In addition, Sanpin Motors Limited boasts one of the foremost pre-owned import
vehicle outlets in the Bahamas. These vehicles are thoroughly inspected for quality and
performance and marketed at unbeatable prices. Michael Kemp, the Sales Manager has
over 24 years of experience in both the new and used car business.

Prior to 1979 Motor Center Ltd marketed Datsun vehicles. In 1979 Sanpin Motors Ltd.
purchased the assets from Motor Center Ltd. Shortly after that, negotiations between
Sanpin Motors Ltd. and Nissan Motor Company Ltd. resulted in our being the sole
distributor of Datsun vehicles for the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. This marriage has
resulted in a very successful business partnership to-date. Sanpin Motors Ltd has been a
very profitable Company for the past 33 years, which is due mainly to very hard work
and our excellent marketing of the Nissan product. Sanpin Motors motto is Customers
for Life and is proud to consistently offer the very best of customer care and
satisfaction. We are very proud of our achievements during the past 33 years, having
grown from 16 to 68 employees.
With 50 years presence in the automotive business,Tata Motors understands customer
needs and develops products that meet their needs.To consider a few examples, as
early as 1980s, the company launched Light Commercial Vehicles, amidst Japanese
competition, in which it today strongly leads. In the 1990s, anticipating the need for an
affordable family car, it launched the now famous Tata Indica, which occupies a leading
position among compact cars.This keen sense of the customer pulse led the company to
launch in 2005, the Tata Ace, Indias first sub one tone mini-truck, as a last-mile
distribution vehicle once again creating a new market.

The Bahamas provides good basic infrastructure for businesses. However, utility rates
are considered high compared to the U.S. The electric company BEC and the phone
company, BTC, are government owned. Since 1992, the Government has improved
some major roads both in Nassau and on the Family Islands, implemented changes to
alleviate severe traffic congestion in Nassau, provided electricity and improved airports
on most Family Islands, and has constructed a second bridge between Nassau and
Paradise Island. There is regular air and sea transportation between the major
developed islands and the United States. Telecommunication service is generally
adequate but delays in service installation and maintenance are common. There are
several Internet service providers in Nassau. Mail service is slow both among the islands
and with other

Much of The Bahamas Government's revenue comes from customs duties, as much as
70% being derived from duties on imports. As such, rules and regulations governing
imports are necessarily complex. It is, therefore, advisable that enterprises seeking to
trade with The Bahamas retain the services of a customs broker prior to importing
goods into the country.

Notwithstanding the complexity of the regulations and rules regarding imports,


generally The Bahamas has a liberal trade policy. There are no specific laws governing
foreign trade.

The Bahamas participated in a number of preferential trade arrangements that provide


concessionary access of goods produced in The Bahamas to major world markets. The
Caribbean Basin Initiative, established under former US President Ronald Reagan,
allows over 3,000 types of products duty-free entry into the USA, provided that at least
35% of the products' value had been added in The Bahamas at the time of entry into the
USA. Similar treatment for Bahamian exports is granted through the CARIBCAN, a
Canadian programme. Bahamian exports can also find such favorable treatment in
European markets through the LOME Convention. The Customs Department, embassies
or consular offices may provide certificates of origin as required in respect of these
arrangements.
Under the Export Manufacturing Industries Encouragement Act, an approved
manufacturer who intends to export or annually exports at least 95% of the total
approved products produced by the manufacturer is afforded duty-free import of raw
materials, equipment and building supplies used in the manufacture of the product or
facilities for the same and duty-free export of those products.

There are no prohibitions of imports with regard to country of origin, nor in normal
circumstances is trade with any particular country prohibited. All designations of
imports are made by Bahamian regulation, without reference to the 1988 Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System for classifying imports and for customs
duties purposes, which has not been adopted by The Bahamas.

The Government of The Bahamas has indicated its commitment to building an economic
environment in which free enterprise can flourish with government functioning as
regulator and facilitator of economic development. Its stated economic policy expresses
The Government's commitment to ideals of transparency, fair play and equality of
treatment and a stable society in which all are afforded the opportunity to realize their
maximum potential. It further seeks to guarantee an acceptable level of economic
security and generally foster the economic growth and the development of The
Bahamas by seeking to encourage an investment-friendly climate and a complementary
mix of Bahamian and overseas investments.

Law: Copyright law in The Bahamas is governed by the Copyright Act 1998. The works
protected by copyright include literature, drama, music, art, architecture, sound
recordings, pictorial graphics, sculptures, and other qualifying intellectual work.

Protection of copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. Where the country
of origin of the work is not in The Bahamas and the author of the work is not a citizen of
The Bahamas, copyright is protected for the period that it is protected for in the country
of origin, provided that it does not exceed the life of the author plus 70 years.
E-BUSINESS :The Government of The Bahamas has demonstrated its commitment to
developing The Bahamas as a centre for e-business activities. Three pieces of e-business
legislation have been passed, namely:

The Electronic Communications Act which commenced on the 15th June 2003, provides
for the legal recognition of electronic transactions, electronic contracts, and electronic
signatures, on the same footing as their paper based equivalents and the supervision of
intermediaries and e-business service providers.

Adopting a global approach to offset the risk of depending only on its home market,
Tata Motors is developing products that would suit global markets as well, as it also
explores opportunity to enter the South American continent.
"We started the look into international markets a year ago. However, what happened
this year in India is just the endorsement of the fact that you cannot be certain with all
your eggs in one market because India has collapsed," Tata Motors Managing Director
KarlSlym said.
The company entered Indonesia last week. It has also entered Saudi Arabia, apart from
expanding business in Malaysia and plans for launches in Australia.

Last year, Tata Motors sold a total of 6 lakh units, of which 50,000 were in export
markets. Biswadev Sengupta, Chief Executive Officer of Tata Motors said that the country
would be the export hub for its cars to the rest of Southeast Asia.

The official said the Indian auto giant was pretty clear that it would make Indonesia an
export hub for their vehicles to other neighboring nations, as Indonesia was about to
overtake its neighbor, Thailand as Southeast Asia's largest car market.

The expected increase in the car sales volume should also help the content of locally
made auto components to 40 percent as it is the key prerequisite that allows the car
maker to sell the vehicles to other members of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations at zero duty, noted the report.
Tata Motors is India's largest automobile manufacturer, which is foraying Indonesia as it
is likely to become Southeast Asia's biggest car market by 2014, quoting IHS Automotive
study, concurred the report. By 2020, majority of the region's half a billion plus
population would be middle class, necessitating the demand further.

Over past six decades Tata Motors has grown to become an Institution of Trust - Trusted
by customers for superior value, Trusted by business associates for ethical business
practices, Trusted by employees for employee care and welfare, Trusted by society for
corporate citizenship and for upholding brand India in the International markets. This
Trust places great responsibility on the Company to march ahead with integrity, passion
and quality. Tata Motors relies on its inherited values to act responsibly with concern for
the environment and community for generations to come. This Business Responsibility
Report serves as a compendium of the Companys initiatives across the sustainability
domain.

The company markets Jaguar products in 101 countries and Land Rover products in 177
countries, through a global network of 17 national sales companies (NSCs), 82
importers, 63 export partners and 2,351 franchise sales dealers, of which 585 are joint
Jaguar and Land Rover dealers. The company has established robust business processes
and systems to ensure that its production plans meet anticipated retail sales demand
and to enable the active management of its inventory of finished vehicles and dealer
inventory throughout its network.
The company has entered into arrangements with independent partners to provide
financing to its customers, including FGA Capital, a joint venture between Fiat Auto and
Credit Agricole, for the United Kingdom and European markets, Chase Auto Finance for
the US market, and local providers in a number of other key markets. The company's
financing partners offer its customers a full range of consumer financing options.
The company operates three major production facilities and two advanced design and
engineering facilities all in the United Kingdom. At 31 March 2012, the company
employed 22,650 employees globally (including agency staff of 6,337). The company
operates a global sales and distribution network designed to achieve worldwide sales
and facilitate growth in key markets. The company's four principal regional markets are
Europe (excluding the UK and Russia), North America, the United Kingdom and China.
These respectively accounted for 23%, 19%, 20% and 17% of the company's wholesale
volumes in FY12 and 22%, 22%, 24% and 11% in FY11.
Distribution strategy of a firm is a plan created by the management of a manufacturing
business that specifies how the firm wishes to transfer its products to intermediaries,
retailers and end consumers. TATA MOTORS has two manufacturing facilities in India.
Both manufacturing facilities have a combined production capacity of 14,50,000 vehicles
annually. It has the largest distribution & Service network comprising of over 400 sales
showrooms, over 600 dealer workshops, and 1900 Authorized Service Stations spanning
across over 1190 cities unparalleled in the country. It has 30 Express Service Stations on
30 National Highways across 1,314 cities in India. To increase their reach to rural India,
where setting up a complete dealership was very difficult, they opened extension
counters which are operated by some dealer in the city thereby ensuring increased
customer touch points without risking the viability of the dealers.

The promotion includes all communications a marketer used in the market for his
products and services to create awareness, to persuade the customers, to buy and
retain in future also. The promotional strategy of TATA MOTORS is very effective. The
company has launched road safety mission under which 5,00,000 people will be trained
in the next three years. This will be done through two channels - Institute of Driving
Training and Research (IDTR) and the TATA MOTORS Driving Schools spread across The
country. Of the 5, 00,000 people to be trained, at least 1,00,000 will be people from
underprivileged section of society, who are keen to take driving as a profession.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has lowered its
earlier projection of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth on India from 5.9% to 5.3%
in 2013

> But OECD has pegged India's growth at a higher 6.4% in 2014, a figure projected by
the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) for 2012-13

> Large Infrastructural projects need to be approved fast

> India's structural bottlenecks and slow policy implementation could constrain
investment and growth potential

Several factors should be considered in selecting the vehicle to bring to post. A


few roads are narrow with sharp curves, potholes, and rough surfaces. Salt spray
and high humidity cause body rust and corrosion of battery terminals and other
electrical connections. Protect automobiles against rust with a coat of wax before
shipment. It is not necessary to remove catalytic converters. Unleaded gasoline is
available in Nassau; leaded gas is available in regular 95 octane and premium 97
octane. Gasoline costs approximately $2.90 per U.S. gallon. Diesel fuel is also
available at some Shell, Texaco, and Esso service stations for $3.00 per gallon.

Employees who are announced to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as members of the
Administrative and Technical Staff (employees assigned to the pre-clearance unit,
support staff, etc.) are permitted to bring in one vehicle duty-free their first six months
at post. The Embassy strongly advises these employees to bring in new vehicles or
vehicles in very good shape if they plan on staying in the Bahamas for several years.
Employees on the diplomatic list are permitted to clear two vehicles duty-free with no
limitation on when they can be brought into the country

Traffic moves on the left side of the road in the Bahamas. Road conditions vary
from four-lane highways to narrow streets with sharp curves but are generally in
good condition. Some back road surfaces are very poor with potholes and badly
eroded shoulders that could damage a vehicle. Surface drainage is poor and large
areas of standing water can be found on the roads after a heavy rainstorm.
Posted highway speeds vary from 25 to 45 miles per hour. Cars, taxis, and buses
often stop unexpectedly in the middle of the road to pick up or discharge
passengers. The recent influx of vehicles has aggravated an already critical traffic
problem causing extensive delays during the morning and evening rush hours.
The normal 10-minute drive from the Embassy to Cable Beach can run three or
four times that at peak periods.

The Bahamas welcomes foreign direct investment. It is a small developing country with
an open economy, the two primary pillars of which are tourism and financial services.
The economy has been undergirded by sound economic, monetary and fiscal policies,
as well as uninterrupted parliamentary democracy since 1729. These have bolstered
investor confidence and as the record reflects, facilitated great returns on those

TATA MOTORS LIMITED INDIA

INTRODUCTION OF TATA MOTORS LIMITED

Tata entered the commercial vehicle sector in 1945 after forming a joint venture with
Daimler-Benz of Germany. After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in
India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata
Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. Tata subsequently launched the Tata Estate (1992; a
station wagon design based on the earlier 'TataMobile' (1989), a light commercial
vehicle), the Tata Sumo (1994; LCV) and the Tata Safari (1998; India's first sports utility
vehicle).

Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous Indian passenger car.
Although initially criticised by auto-analysts, its excellent fuel economy, powerful engine
and an aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history
of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a
major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favourite.
Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa. The
success of Indica played a key role in the growth of Tata Motors.

In 2004 Tata Motors acquired Daewoo's South Korea-based truck manufacturing unit,
Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, later renamed Tata Daewoo.

On 27 September 2004, Tata Motors rang the opening bell at the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) to mark the listing of Tata Motors.

In 2005, Tata Motors acquired a 21% controlling stake in the Spanish bus and coach
manufacturer Hispano Carrocera. Tata Motors continued its market area expansion
through the introduction of new products such as buses (Starbus & Globus, jointly
developed with subsidiary Hispano Carrocera) and trucks (Novus, jointly developed with
subsidiary Tata Daewoo).
In 2006, Tata formed a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, Tata Marcopolo
Bus, to manufacture fully built buses and coaches.[11]

In 2008, Tata Motors acquired the British car maker Jaguar Land Rover, manufacturer of
the Jaguar, Land Rover and Daimler luxury car brands, from Ford Motor Company.

In May 2009 Tata unveiled the Tata World Truck range jointly developed with Tata
Daewoo;[16] the range went in sale in South Korea, South Africa, the SAARC countries
and the Middle-East at the end of 2009.

Tata acquired full ownership of Hispano Carrocera in 2009.

In 2010, Tata Motors acquired an 80% stake in the Italian design and engineering
company Trilix for 1.85 million. The acquisition formed part of the company's plan to
enhance its styling and design capabilities.

In 2012, Tata Motors announced it would invest around 6 billion in the development of
Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicles in collaboration with DRDO.

In 2013, Tata Motors announced it will sell in India, the first vehicle in the world to run
on compressed air (engines designed by the French company MDI) and dubbed "Mini
CAT".

On 26 January 2014, the Managing Director Karl Slym was found dead. He fell from the
22nd floor to the 4th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok where he was to attend a
meeting of Tata Motors Thailand.
COMPANY BACKGROUND

Set up in 1945,Tata Motors is India's largestautomobile company.With close to 4 million


Tata vehicles plying in India, since the first roll outin 1954, it is the leader in commercial
vehicles and the second largest in passenger vehicles. It is alsothe world's fifth largest
medium and heavy truck manufacturer and the second largest heavy bus manufacturer.
In India, the company has manufacturing facilities in Pune (Maharashtra western
India), Jamshedpur (Jharkhand eastern India) and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh northern
India), and a nation-wide dealership, sales, services and spare parts network comprising
over 2,000 touchpoints.The company employs over 22,000people.Tata cars, buses and
trucks are beingmarketed in several countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South
Asia, and South East Asia and in Australia.Tata Motors has research centres in India, the
UK, and in its subsidiary and associate companies in South Korea and Spain. In the
financial year 2005-06, it earned net revenue of USD 4.65 billion, compared to USD 3.98
billion in 2004-05, a growth of 16.8 per cent. For 2005-06, the companys exports rose to
USD 496 million, as compared to USD 332 million in 2004-05, representing an increase
of 49 per cent.
Factors of Success

Strong Presence in the Marketplace


Tata Motors is the only company in India with a broadbased presence across the
industry, in all segments of the commercial vehicles market heavy and medium
commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, pick-ups, sub one-tonne mini-trucks -
and key segments - compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments - of the passenger
vehicles market.
Unique Understanding of Customer Need
With 50 years presence in the automotive business,Tata Motors understands customer
needs and develops products that meet their needs.To consider a few examples, as
early as 1980s, the company launched Light Commercial Vehicles, amidst Japanese
competition, in which it today strongly leads. In the 1990s, anticipating the need for an
affordable family car, it launched the now famous Tata Indica, which occupies a leading
position among compact cars.This keen sense of the customer pulse led the company to
launch in 2005, the Tata Ace, Indias first sub one tone mini-truck, as a last-mile
distribution vehicle once again creating a new market. Going forward,Tata Motors has
anticipated that non-car owning families, at the bottom of the pyramid, will look for an
extremely affordable vehicle, providing exceptional value and this small car will be
launched in 2008.

Skill Base Developed Over the Last 40 Years


Tata Motors is also very well-placed on technology capability.The company had set up
its Engineering Research Centre as early as 1966.With 1400 scientists and engineers and
state-of-the-art development, testing and validation facilities, it is this technology
capability which has, allowed Tata Motors, over the decades, to offer indigenously
developed products. This strength has been accentuated, with the inclusion of TMETC,
TDCV and Hispano Carrocera in the R&D network, besides several other specialist
external agencies. The company no longer needs to develop every necessity itself. Today
it just has to manage the process of product creation, drawing upon already
available R&D and skills from different sources.
People Strength
The companys key strength is its people.The over 22,000 employees comprise a very
broad talent base, with the required skills in every aspect of the industry.With
increasing international initiatives by the company, this talent base is now getting
enriched with the necessary competencies to respond to meet world-class standards of
quality and cost.

Future Plans
Tata Motors goal is to enhance its leadership in India, and establish meaningful presence in
select international markets.The company will achieve this by developing and marketing
relevant products, on its existing platforms and new ones, which delight consumers in every
market they are introduced in.

TATA MOTORS SWOT ANALYSIS

Strength

International strategy - about new acquisitions, Tata added some of senior


managers in the new companies or market. The benefit is that Tata Motors is
able to exchange the expertise. Also by doing that the new company will dot
need to setup new managerial post and company can run as per the old settings.

Brand Name-Tata Motors has a strategy to work with the old name of the
company which Tata bought or acquires that does not effect the brand value.
Tata is doing this because tata is new in International market and people outside
india do not know about Tata Motors. For example:- Tata acquired Land Rover
and Jaguar from Ford and now Tata is running these companies but Tata did not
add Tata Name in to These luxury brand, that is giving more stability of these
brands in the market.

Globalization- The company has a strategy to expand its network in world wide
and company already started by expanding its networks to South Africa, China,
UK, South Korea,Brazil and many others countries.

Domestic Strategy- Strategy for local market customers and new costumers -
Tata Motors is most trusted vehicle brand in India, and Tata is putting effort to
be in same position by fulfilling the commitment done by company.

R&D-Tata Motors put emphasize on R&D, and developed some of the very useful
machine for indian market for example- Tata Safari- India first sport utility
vehicle,Tata Nano- World cheapest car, Tata Ace- Indias first mini transport
utility vehicle, Tata Indica V2- Car that is most fuel efficient in Indian Market.
Tata is also working for Compressed air car- Motor Development International of
France has developed the worlds first prototype of Compressed air car Named
OneCat.

Financial-Tata Motors is a part of Tata groups of companies that has vey strong
financial position.

Employment-Tata Motors is a big company that provides jobs to


the unemployed people.Tata Motors is known for good employee management
that make it some of the best choice for work. That attracts the people and
also increases the popularity of company.

Weaknesses

Less Luxury-Tata as a international brand, do not produce luxury vehicles for


domestic market. That is a disadvantage for company to competing with other
Car makers in domestic market.

Safety-Tata Motors do not provide standerd safety features in their vehicles in


domestic market.

Sells -Tata Nano the peoples cars sells in continue decreasing that is also world
cheapest car. The main reason behind this is lack of security features in car as
well as car is not made to drive in Highway. This car is made to attract for those
people who wants to use it in city.

Wrong Advertisement-Company is lacking in advertisement of their brand and


Media is focusing companies failures about Tata Nano now days. Company also
started monthly payment system for Tata Nano that is 99rupee (14 SEK) per
month that is cheaper then the mobile subscription per mont. That is developing
negative phycology about Nano in people.
Oportunities

Demography - According to indexmundi.com, 64.9% of the India population is


between 15 and 64 years which, in other words, states that over 700 million are
legal candidates to have a car. This number is growing.

Economy - The eyes of the world are on Indias economy. There is a lot of
demand for Indian products. Many journals such as The Economist and Economy
Watch, state that India is an emerging economy with a gross domestic product
(GDP) growth of 7.5% to 8%. The Economist also states that it has a fast-growing
middle class. This is an opportunity for the company to have trustworthy
providers as well as employees.

Political - According to The Economic Times the government is aiming to spend


$1 trillion on infrastructure development by 2017. This can only be interpreted
as a political willpower to help the countrys wellbeing. A healthy country is a
low-risk-to-invest country.

Technology - Sustainable and environmental-friendly technology use in the


manufacturing can help the company fit into the social media trends.

Social - Times of India published the following on September 15 th, 2010:


Indian women demonstrate stratospheric levels of aspiration 76 per cent
aspire to a top job 85 per cent of Indian women consider themselves very
ambitious,. This boosts the number of potential clients. Environmental trends
are also an opportunity on which the company is already taking advantage
Threats

Demography - The population increase rate might cause problems such as


unemployment and emigration. This could affect the number potential
customers.
Economy A fast growing economy could mean more competitors. At the same
time, high demand of products could bring inflation that affects the companys
potential clients budged. The following statement was taken from bbc.co.uk:
Raging inflation and a gradual increase in borrowing costs has dampened
domestic demand, alongside lackluster investment sentiment, said Radhika Rao
of Forecast Pte.

Political - Some projects for public transportation are been develop. Projects such
as Sustainable Urban Transport (see web.worldbank.org) include cities like Pune
and Pimpri-Chinchwad (in Maharashtra), Naya Raipur (in Chhattisgarh), Jalandhar
(in Punjab), Indore (in Madhya Pradesh), and Mysore (in Karnataka).

Technology - Technology research and usage always involves investment which


might not always give the desired outcome.

Social - Times of India (timesofindia.com) states the following: more than half
of Indian women experience pressure from their spouses and in-laws to quit
working when they get married 52 per cent of Indian women were criticized for
continuing their career. This on the other hand decreases the number of
potential clients.
SANPIN MOTORS SWOT ANALYSIS

Sanpin Motor Company is a Japanese corporation manufacturing vehicles and maritime


equipment. It was the sixth largest automotive company in terms of sales in 2011.

Strengths

Strong financial performance. Sanpins revenue has been growing over the last
few years from 7,517,277 billion yens in 2010 to 9,409,026 billion yens in 2012.
Firms net operating income and net profit increased as well. Due to such strong
financial performance, Sanpin was able to achieve at least temporary
competitive advantage over its competitors.

Strategic partnerships. Sanpin has established more than one strategic alliances
and partnerships with other companies. The most successful was an alliance with
Renault, which was established in 1999 and continues to date while benefiting
both partners. Another notable partnership was created with Daimler AG. Sanpin
has acquired some very important technologies from this partnership and is
working further to create even more synergies with both Renault and Daimler.

Innovative culture. The business invests 4.5% of its revenue to R&D. This
strategy helped Sanpin to develop currently the most popular electric vehicle
(LEAF) and some important innovations in production process. Sanpins R&D
capabilities are one of the sources of its competitive advantage.

Growing brand reputation. Sanpins brand was the fastest growing automotive
brand in 2012, according to Interbrand. Its value rose by 30% to nearly $5 billion
and became the 73rd most valuable brand in the world. Although modest
position compared with other automotive companies, Sanpins brand value
growth proves significant improvement in quality, reliability, innovation and
growing customer reach.

Weaknesses

1. Product recalls. Over 2011 and 2012, Sanpin has recalled at least several
hundred thousands of various model cars. Although Sanpin recalls comparably
less cars than its competitors do, such situation still hurts firms brand reputation
and customers loyalty.

Opportunities

Growing global demand for environment friendly vehicles. Vehicles


have been a major factor in intensifying greenhouse effect by emitting
large quantities of CO2 and heavily polluting air. Consumers are more
aware of this negative impact and are more likely to buy environmentally
friendly vehicles that emit much less CO2 and are fuel-efficient.

Growth through strategic partnerships. Sanpin has great experience in


creating strategic partnerships that bring synergy, new capabilities and
technologies to the firm. In the current situation, where many firms seek
ways to cut costs, Sanpin should try to establish many more partnerships
and alliances and benefit from the advantages that come with them.

Increasing fuel prices. For years, Sanpin has been favoring fuel-efficient
cars with hybrid, hydrogen or electrical engines. Increasing fossil fuel
prices encourages the consumers to buy such cars and Sanpin is already
in position to offer many car models with various environment friendly
engines.
Threats

Decreasing fuel prices. There is high possibility that future fuel prices will drop,
as more shale gas fuels will be extracted. For this reason, hybrid, hydrogen or
electric cars may become less attractive to cost conscious consumers.
Global competition in automotive industry. The competition between Sanpin
and other automotive companies will intensify in the future. GM, Toyota,
Hyundai, Ford and other corporations will have to introduce new models faster
and compete more on the price rather than differentiation, which lowers the
profits and damages the results of the companies.
Rising raw material prices. Rising prices for raw metals will lift the costs for auto
manufacturers and result in squeezed profits.
Natural disasters. The business has manufacturing facilities in Japan, Thailand,
China and Indonesia. These countries, including others, are often subject to
natural disasters that disrupt manufacturing processes and results in lower
production volumes and losses.
Appreciating yen exchange rate. Most of Sanpins revenue comes from foreign
countries. Appreciating yen exchange rate against other currencies means lower
profits for the company.
Market opportunities for export import trade and investment in
selected country

Market Overview

The Bahamas offers potential investors a stable democratic environment, relief from
personal and corporate income taxes, timely repatriation of corporate profits, and
proximity to the United States with extensive air and communication links, and a good
pool of skilled professionals. The Bahamas is a member of the Caribbean Basin Initiative
(CBI), Canadas CARIBCAN Program, and the European Unions Economic Partnership
Agreement. The Bahamas officially welcomes foreign investment in tourism, banking,
agricultural and industrial areas that generate local employment, especially white-collar
or skilled jobs. The vast majority of successful foreign investments, however, have
remained in the areas of tourism and banking.

Nevertheless, in the wake of unstable oil prices and high energy costs, Government of
the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (GCOB) is reviewing proposals for alternative
energy sources. This is expected to create opportunities for foreign direct investment in
the energy industry. The Government reserves retail and wholesale outlets, non-
specialty restaurants, most construction projects, and many small businesses exclusively
for Bahamians.

? The Tourism sector directly contributes 22% of The Bahamas Gross Domestic Product
(GDP). Financial services constitute the second most important sector of the economy
and accounts for up to 15% of GDP. Agriculture and industry together account for less
than 10% of GDP. While the countrys largest export is service, some commodities such
as chemicals, plastic goods, pharmaceuticals and industrial salt are produced for export.

? The Bahamas provides good basic infrastructure for businesses. However, utility rates
are considered high compared to the U.S. The electric company BEC and the phone
company, BTC, are government owned. Since 1992, the Government has improved
some major roads both in Nassau and on the Family Islands, implemented changes to
alleviate severe traffic congestion in Nassau, provided electricity and improved airports
on most Family Islands, and has constructed a second bridge between Nassau and
Paradise Island. There is regular air and sea transportation between the major
developed islands and the United States. Telecommunication service is generally
adequate but delays in service installation and maintenance are common. There are
several Internet service providers in Nassau. Mail service is slow both among the islands
and with other
Export & Import Trade in The Bahamas

The Government of The Bahamas seeks to encourage the development of enterprises in


The Bahamas that will increase foreign reserve earnings through increased export
activity. This is important to maintaining the nation's exchange rate--the Bahamian
dollar (divided into 100 cents) is on par with the US dollar--and it is also important in
creating jobs for the Bahamian people.

Much of The Bahamas Government's revenue comes from customs duties, as much as
70% being derived from duties on imports. As such, rules and regulations governing
imports are necessarily complex. It is, therefore, advisable that enterprises seeking to
trade with The Bahamas retain the services of a customs broker prior to importing
goods into the country.

Notwithstanding the complexity of the regulations and rules regarding imports,


generally The Bahamas has a liberal trade policy. There are no specific laws governing
foreign trade.
Exports

Bahamian exports of goods and services in 1992 amounted to $1404.78 million, of


which tourists receipts accounted for $1056 million. Exports of non-oil merchandise,
which accounted for some $194.33 million in 1992, was primarily composed of
pharmaceuticals, crawfish, salt, cement, rum, argonite, residual fuel oils, distilled fuel,
cascarilla bark, tomatoes and citrus. Major destinations for Bahamian exports are the
USA, the UK/European Community, and Japan.

There are no controls in The Bahamas exercised over exports, and there are no export
taxes levied on the same. Exported goods may be reimported into The Bahamas without
payment of customs duty, provided an appropriate certificate is obtained from the
Customs Department Where goods imported into The Bahamas will be reexported, the
goods may be held in bond on payment of minimal fees.

The Bahamas participated in a number of preferential trade arrangements that provide


concessionary access of goods produced in The Bahamas to major world markets. The
Caribbean Basin Initiative, established under former US President Ronald Reagan,
allows over 3,000 types of products duty-free entry into the USA, provided that at least
35% of the products' value had been added in The Bahamas at the time of entry into the
USA. Similar treatment for Bahamian exports is granted through the CARIBCAN, a
Canadian programme. Bahamian exports can also find such favorable treatment in
European markets through the LOME Convention. The Customs Department, embassies
or consular offices may provide certificates of origin as required in respect of these
arrangements.

Under the Export Manufacturing Industries Encouragement Act, an approved


manufacturer who intends to export or annually exports at least 95% of the total
approved products produced by the manufacturer is afforded duty-free import of raw
materials, equipment and building supplies used in the manufacture of the product or
facilities for the same and duty-free export of those products.
Imports
Bahamian imports of goods and services in 1992 amounted to $1688.55 million, of
which import of merchandise accounted for $1329.3 million. Imports were comprised
primarily of foodstuffs, motor vehicles, oil, animal feed, petroleum products, clothing,
machinery and appliances. The USA remains the major trading partner of The Bahamas,
receiving almost $800 million in export receipts. Foodstuffs account for about $250
million of the imports from The United States.

There are no quotas in The Bahamas on imports, and the only protective duties applied
are in respect of agricultural products in season. For most imports, only exchange
control permission to pay for goods concerned is required. Gaming machines and
firearms cannot be imported without prior acquisition or import licenses. The
importation of items such as infected cattle, spoiled meats, and those items that bear a
similar design to Bahamian currency is prohibited.

There are no prohibitions of imports with regard to country of origin, nor in normal
circumstances is trade with any particular country prohibited. All designations of
imports are made by Bahamian regulation, without reference to the 1988 Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System for classifying imports and for customs
duties purposes, which has not been adopted by The Bahamas.

Customs duties are fixed by Bahamian regulation. Generally, the rate of duty levied on
imports is 33%, but other rates are applicable. Duties in The Bahamas must be paid on
entry of individual import consignments.

Under the following investment incentive legislation, building materials, equipment, and
approved raw materials can be exempted from payment of customs duties: The
Industries Encouragement Act, The Tariff Act, The Hotels Encouragement Act, The Free
Trade Zone Act, The Spirits and Beer Manufacturers Act, and The Agricultural
Manufacturers Act.
Import/Export Opportunities
The proximity of The Bahamas to major world markets, such as North America, and the
access which it has to other major markets around the world through referential trade
agreements, makes it a primary location for the production of goods and services for
export. Areas targeted for production for exports include agro-products, computer
products, pharmaceuticals, toys, high fashion garments, data processing goods, etc.

While the Government seeks to reduce The Bahamas' import bill, it is recognized that
due to various constraints, The Bahamas will continue to import a large number of items
to meet consumer demands. This creates a number of opportunities for foreign
exporters. Major products for export to The Bahamas include data processing
equipment, computers and electronic goods, hotel and restaurant equipment,
automobile parts, some foodstuffs (meats and vegetables), and baby products.

The Government welcomes opportunities for greater trade with The Bahamas,
particularly those that increase exports from The Bahamas or reduce the country's
import bill. As such, the following business proposals are welcome:

those establishing manufacturing facilities in The Bahamas for export products;


those that provide technology the improves the production of goods already
manufactured in The Bahamas;
those that can supply products at a more competitive price than existing foreign
suppliers.
Investment in Bahamas

The Economy

The Bahamas welcomes foreign direct investment. It is a small developing country with
an open economy, the two primary pillars of which are tourism and financial services.
The economy has been undergirded by sound economic, monetary and fiscal policies,
as well as uninterrupted parliamentary democracy since 1729. These have bolstered
investor confidence and as the record reflects, facilitated great returns on those
investments.

Presently, the Bahamian economy is experiencing a slight rebounding following the


global financial crisis and recession. This upturn is underpinned by modest growth in the
global economy and is reflected in significant public sector infrastructural development
and private sector initiatives in the tourism sector.

Infrastructural Development

During the economic downturn, The Bahamas Government commenced substantial


infrastructural development initiatives. These included the redevelopment of the
countrys principal airport, which is the largest public sector project ever undertaken in
The Bahamas; the deepening of Nassau Harbor, which now accommodates the worlds
largest passenger vessels; and the creation of a new cargo port just outside the City of
Nassau. We are also presently in the midst of extensive upgrades to existing road
arteries and the development of new thoroughfares throughout New Providence, as
well as other islands of The Bahamas.

In April, 2011, the government privatised the local telecommunications company, with
the expectation of wider and higher quality services, as well as reduced costs to the
consumer, in particular to the business community.
Each of these initiatives have served more effectively to connect The Bahamas internally
and to the international markets to which we cater.

Tourism Sector

The investment climate and infrastructural support in The Bahamas have been able to
attract and sustain significant touristic developments. Not only is the country home to
the renowned Atlantis Resort and Aquatic Park on Paradise Island, but also underway in
The Bahamas at present is the construction of the $2.6 billion Baha Mar Cable Beach
Redevelopment Project, boasting hotel brandsofMorgans,RosewoodandHyatt.

Moreover, the Tavistock Group, Tiger Woods and Ernie Els are completing their
exclusive high-end residential resort, marina and, of course, golf course development at
the southwestern end of New Providence, called Albany. The Bahamas is also home to
thriving all-inclusive resorts of Sandals and Breezes, as well as numerous smaller-scale
eco-tourist developments, bed and breakfasts and fishing lodges throughout the Family
Islands.

Financial Services

The Bahamas is one of the leading international business and financial centres. This
sector of the Bahamian economy is marked by the strong public/private sector
partnership which exists. This partnership contributes to keeping the associated
legislative framework current and responsive, so as to accommodate the changing
requirements of investors and to enable the country to continue to provide innovative
instruments.
Green Initiatives

The Bahamas is committed to implementing a diverse range of sustainable energy


programmes. The country has embarked upon a series of policies targeted at developing
alternative energy sources, expanding business opportunities in the energy sector,
increasing energy efficiency and managing our demand on fossil fuel. To this end,
import duties on many green products have been substantially reduced or eliminated.
Additionally, we have encouraged private sector developers who wish to pursue
projects supplied solely or in part by alternative energy sources.

Incentives, Concessions and Regulatory Reform

The Government of The Bahamas has as one of its goals encouraging and facilitating
business activity. Accordingly, a compendium of legislative incentives and concessions
exist for doing business in The Bahamas, not only in the tourism hotel sector, but
equally in respect of manufacturing and agricultural developments, as well as
establishing timeshare facilities.

Such incentives include the availability of access to land owned by the government; and
concessions on customs duties (or border taxes) on approved raw materials, equipment
and building supplies, as well as exemptions from real property taxes for defined
periods. The Bahamas has no restrictions on current account transactions, nor any
restrictions on the repatriation of profits.

The government is continually engaged in the process of reforming our legislative and
regulatory environment. For example, within the past year we have enacted a new
Business Licence Act which has streamlined the process of doing business in the
country. We have also launched a multi-million dollar consultancy programme with the
Government of Singapore to implement a comprehensive e-Government services
platform.
Inward investment into Gujrat or India

With rapid growth in India over the last decade, building the infrastructure is seen as
vital in order to cement the countrys place as a thriving destination for global business.
Although much of Indias financial business is done in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore,
these financial centres suffer from a muddled infrastructure system built over many
decades. A vast number of Indian cities seem old and unappealing to international
business when compared to relatively modern financial hubs like Dubai, Singapore or
Hong Kong.

India has plans to address these concerns. Hugely ambitious proposals include the Delhi-
Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project, which will see 24 new cities built within a
corridor that stretches from New Delhi to the current financial hub in Mumbai, as well
as greatly improved transport infrastructure. The corridor will pass through the eastern
part of the state of Gujarat a state popular with investors due to its relative lack of red
tape, and the strong inclination to become a global business centre.

Part of the states ambitious plans include a new city known as the Gujarat International
Finance Tech-City (GIFT), that will seek to be a global financial destination to rival Dubai
and Singapore. The city will be built on 886A of land in the centre of the state, and
hopes to attract financial and technology firms from other Indian cities including
Mumbai, Bangalore and Gurgaon. Funded through a partnership between the
government of Gujarat and the privately held company Infrastructure Leasing &
Financial Services (IL&FS), it is hoped that all phases of the city will be completed by the
end of 2020.
An ideal location

Ramakant Jha, the director in charge of the GIFT project, says Gujarat is the perfect
place for such a development because of the improvements to the infrastructure: First
and foremost is the entrepreneurial skill that Gujarat possesses. Secondly the
development of Gujarat is based on the focus in the area on the development of
infrastructure. This helps to connect the businesses in the various parts of the state.
That is one of the strong points that the state is doing well. The region currently has
one international airport, as well as 14 that operate domestically.

Part of the benefits of the region to business is the availability of numerous natural
ports, which act as a gateway to the rich, landlocked northern and central parts of India,
and provide access to the major port-based countries including the UK, Australia, China,
Japan, and Korea. That really helps the manufactures and the service providers connect
to the rest of the world and send their goods in a very timely and cost-effective way.
He says that Gujarat is spearheading the Indian march for global economic superpower
status, and that the region has been dubbed the Growth Engine of India. This is
reflected in the fact that Gujarat alone contributes 16 percent of all of Indias industrial
production.

The GIFT project is an opportunity for the region to create an international financial hub,
rivalling many throughout the world. Its an ambitious plan, but one that Jha believes is
vital for India to have a recognised financial centre that businesses want to move to:
This is the first time in India that this particular type of centre has been recognised as
an International Financial Service Centre (IFSC). Whereas there are IFSCs in London,
Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong, there is no IFSC in India. This is the first time the
government in India has recognised this particular city and region as an IFSC. In the
future, all the foreign exchange transactions that have not until recently been done in
India, can now be conducted in here.
Utilising the local economy

In the past, large financial deals involving Indian companies usually happened outside of
the country. The recent deal where Tata took over Corus, the entire financial deal had
to close in the UK. It could not borrow the foreign exchange in India, in order to pay for
the company in the UK. It was not able to borrow in India because the regulators did not
permit it and there was not an international financial centre. With a recognised financial
centre in India, the deal could have happened here, and they would have been able to
borrow at a lower cost and conclude the deal very fast.

Jha adds that with so many cash-rich Indian companies going out in the world, an
international financial city in India is vital for them to realise the benefits. The first
opportunities will come from the Indian companies, because they are the ones with a
lot of cash on hand and they are the ones that are going outside India to buy other
companies.

Competing with these financial cities is not something that the GIFT team is focusing on.
Jha says the city will instead complement them. We feel that going forward our city will
synergise with other financial centres because of the time differences to other centres.
Indias position can help the others work around the clock. We do not see ourselves
competing.

The project has seen considerable enthusiasm from the financial sector, which Jha
believes is due to the confidence already in place in the region. Gujarat has started to
become very user and business friendly. The number of companies that are putting their
offices and businesses in Gujarat has been steadily increasing.

It really helps that there is already the confidence which was brought into this state, by
the steps the government has taken. The confidence is already there, so we are trying to
combine this confidence and the strength of the governments infrastructure
development into an internationally recognised hub for financial services.
Steady investment

Attracting businesses to the region has begun, with a burgeoning auto-industry already
in place. Jha says: Because of foreign investment, a lot of automobile businesses are
doing very well here. You have a lot of foreign manufacturers, like Ford and Peugeot,
basing the manufacturing plants here. The Tata Motors Nano plant has meant a lot of
manufacturers have moved here. We also have other companies, including
Bombardier. Other firms investing in the city include Chinese technology manufacturer
Huawei, which is set to provide the technological infrastructure.

Progress in building the city was held up initially by the slow process of persuading all
interested parties that a project of this magnitude was right for the region. Launched in
2007, the original plan was to have the city operational by 2017. Delays pushed that
back by a couple of years, and now its expected to be completed by 2020. Jha says,
however, that acceptance is now there and it is really moving ahead very fast.

Some criticism of the project came from groups that felt it would ruin the landscape of
the region. Jha says GIFT recognise the importance of the agricultural sector in the state,
and as land is increasingly valuable, it has looked to make the most out of what land is
available. The development will build vertically, while including green spaces around the
high-rises, even though the land being built on was formerly a wasteland.

With phase one already underway, this stage should be completed over the coming
year. In terms of the GIFT development, the entire master plan for the project has been
finalised. The implementation of phase one of the project has already started and we
are developing nearly 13 million square-feet of Built Up Area (BUA). The whole
development project will go up to 62 million square-feet BUA, and provide all of the
necessary infrastructure like water; roads; district cooling systems; power; waste
management; and ICT infrastructure, all provided by the company.
GIFT does not intend to simply build a business hub, however. It recognises the
importance of developing a city that offers more than just business opportunities but
also as a place to live, says Jha: Our main focus is to develop the global financial hub
and the central business district first. However, we also feel that if you develop the
central business district in isolation, it does not help people to have a work life in one
place. What we are doing is planning an integrated development that includes
residential areas; a hotel; a club; an international school; and a golf course.

GIFT also hopes that its success will act as inspiration for other financial hubs to be built
throughout India. The contribution that the hub will generate for the government is
considerable. GIFT say that by 2020 there will be one million people employed, directly
and indirectly, in the city. It will also generate $10bn a year in foreign exchange.

For a region that was decimated just a decade ago, it is encouraging to see such
enthusiasm for Indias regeneration.

3 Review of the policy:-
The management Committee of the Board should oversee the implementation of the
system and review its functionality periodically.
Export and import for the TATA motors
The Company's total domestic sales grew by 10.9% to 8, 63,248 vehicles in FY 2011-12.
Commercial Vehicle sales increased by 15.7% to 530,204 units, while Passenger Vehicles
sales grew by 4% to 333,044 units. The competitive scenario intensified as the existing
OEM's launched new variants to protect market share and new entrants sought to gain
a foothold in the market. The Company maintained leadership with a market share of
59.4% in the Commercial Vehicle segment despite international OEM's entering the
market.

The Companys sale of Commercial Vehicle in the domestic and international markets
was 585,283 units representing a growth of 15.1% over the previous year. The growth
was driven by focused product actions, enhancement of quality of the service network,
increased service outlets, and financing options suited to customer needs. However, the
domestic market share during the year was 59.4%, lower by 180 basis points, compared
to 61.2% last year.

Global strategy in Tata motors

Adopting a global approach to offset the risk of depending only on its home market,
Tata Motors is developing products that would suit global markets as well, as it also
explores opportunity to enter the South American continent.
"We started the look into international markets a year ago. However, what happened
this year in India is just the endorsement of the fact that you cannot be certain with all
your eggs in one market because India has collapsed," Tata Motors Managing Director
KarlSlym said.
The company entered Indonesia last week. It has also entered Saudi Arabia, apart from
expanding business in Malaysia and plans for launches in Australia.

Last year, Tata Motors sold a total of 6 lakh units, of which 50,000 were in export
markets. Biswadev Sengupta, Chief Executive Officer of Tata Motors said that the country
would be the export hub for its cars to the rest of Southeast Asia.

The official said the Indian auto giant was pretty clear that it would make Indonesia an
export hub for their vehicles to other neighboring nations, as Indonesia was about to
overtake its neighbor, Thailand as Southeast Asia's largest car market.

The expected increase in the car sales volume should also help the content of locally
made auto components to 40 percent as it is the key prerequisite that allows the car
maker to sell the vehicles to other members of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations at zero duty, noted the report.

Tata Motors is India's largest automobile manufacturer, which is foraying Indonesia as it


is likely to become Southeast Asia's biggest car market by 2014, quoting IHS Automotive
study, concurred the report. By 2020, majority of the region's half a billion plus
population would be middle class, necessitating the demand further.

various factors such as market share, competition, material costs, product identity and
the customer's perceived value of the product. The business may increase or decrease
the price of product if other stores have the same product. The price decision is very

annually. It has the largest distribution & Service network comprising of over 400 sales

30 National Highways across 1,314 cities in India. To increase their reach to rural India,
where setting up a complete dealership was very difficult, they opened extension
counters which are operated by some dealer in the city thereby ensuring increased
customer touch points without risking the viability of the dealers.

Tata motors Breathtaking Strategies

TATA MOTORS was the undisputed leader in the automobile utility-car segment
sector, controlling about 84% of the market till 1998. With increasing
competition from local players like Telco, Hindustan Motors, Mahindra &
Mahindra and foreign players like Daewoo, PAL, Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi, GM,
the whole auto industry structure in India has changed in the last decade and
resulted in the declining profits and market share for TATA MOTORS. At the
same time the Indian government permitted foreign car producers to invest in
the automobile sector and hold majority stakes. In the wake of its diminishing
profits and loss of market share, TATA MOTORS initiated strategic responses to
cope with Indias liberalization process and began to redesign itself to face
competition in the Indian market.
FUTURE PROJECTION NEXT 2 YEARS

Whats in store for 2014-15

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has lowered its
earlier projection of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth on India from 5.9% to 5.3%
in 2014

> But OECD has pegged India's growth at a higher 6.4% in 2015, a figure projected by
the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) for 2014-15

> Large Infrastructural projects need to be approved fast

> India's structural bottlenecks and slow policy implementation could constrain
investment and growth potential

Tata Motors goal is to enhance its leadership inIndia, and establish meaningful
presence in select international markets.The company will achieve this by developing
and marketing relevant products, on its existing platforms and new ones, which delight
consumers in every market they are introduced in.

Tata Motors entered Bahamas automobile market in 2004 to open two production
facilities to make small cars but its original intention was to take advantage of European
Unions Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Tata motors would use this to assemble and
export its cars to European markets as its competitors like Toyota, Volkswagen and Ford
were already doing. With the growing demand of cars within the country itself, the
company targeted both local and international market.

AN AUTOMOBILE IS A NECESSITY FOR MOST EMBASSY EMPLOYEES:-


Most popular American, British, German, and Japanese automobile
manufacturers are represented here with full-service repair facilities. As with all
major items imported into the Bahamas, such as electrical appliances, TVs, etc.,
the warranties on vehicles imported by individuals (as opposed to Bahamian
automobile dealers) are not honored in the Bahamas. Buying a car is expensive in
the Bahamas, as the price includes a duty of 4565% and Stamp Tax of 7% based
on the value of the car.

Several factors should be considered in selecting the vehicle to bring to post. A


few roads are narrow with sharp curves, potholes, and rough surfaces. Salt spray
and high humidity cause body rust and corrosion of battery terminals and other
electrical connections. Protect automobiles against rust with a coat of wax before
shipment. It is not necessary to remove catalytic converters. Unleaded gasoline is
available in Nassau; leaded gas is available in regular 95 octane and premium 97
octane. Gasoline costs approximately $2.90 per U.S. gallon. Diesel fuel is also
available at some Shell, Texaco, and Esso service stations for $3.00 per gallon.

Employees who are announced to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as members of


the Administrative and Technical Staff (employees assigned to the pre-clearance
unit, support staff, etc.) are permitted to bring in one vehicle duty-free their first
six months at post. The Embassy strongly advises these employees to bring in new
vehicles or vehicles in very good shape if they plan on staying in the Bahamas for
several years. Employees on the diplomatic list are permitted to clear two
vehicles duty-free with no limitation on when they can be brought into the
country.

Ship automobiles to Nassau using the same routing as for surface shipments. If
shipping via the U.S. Despatch Agency, be aware that this agency does not
provide commercial insurance. If you drive your automobile to Miami for
shipment, contact the U.S. Despatch Agent at 3055262905 for instructions. Be
sure to have your travel orders and title when ready to ship your vehicle.

The Embassy assists all U.S. Government employees in the customs formalities of
clearing and incoming POV, as well as with the required safety inspection,
registration, and obtaining Bahamian drivers licenses, at no charge. Employees or
eligible family members with valid U.S. drivers licenses are not required to take
any tests to obtain a Bahamian drivers license.

Bahamian law requires that all vehicles be insured for third-party liability, and
only Bahamian companies are licensed to write these policies. Check your policies
carefully to ensure that all drivers in the family are covered. When shipping POV,
make sure that a copy of the vehicles title accompanies the vehicle. This
document is essential for clearing, insuring, and licensing of POV. If for some
reason the POV title is not available, please provide the shipper with an invoice or
any other legal document that has the vehicles serial number.

Several automobile rental agencies are in Nassau and Freeport, including


subsidiaries of some well-known American agencies. Rental fees vary with the
size and type of vehicle and the duration of the rental period, but are much
higher than rental fees in the U.S. Several agencies also rent motorbikes, but they
should be avoided because of the vehicles very high accident rates.

Traffic moves on the left side of the road in the Bahamas. Road conditions vary
from four-lane highways to narrow streets with sharp curves but are generally in
good condition. Some back road surfaces are very poor with potholes and badly
eroded shoulders that could damage a vehicle. Surface drainage is poor and large
areas of standing water can be found on the roads after a heavy rainstorm.
Posted highway speeds vary from 25 to 45 miles per hour. Cars, taxis, and buses
often stop unexpectedly in the middle of the road to pick up or discharge
passengers. The recent influx of vehicles has aggravated an already critical traffic
problem causing extensive delays during the morning and evening rush hours.
The normal 10-minute drive from the Embassy to Cable Beach can run three or
four times that at peak periods.

Regional travel throughout the Bahamas is principally by commercial, charter, or


private aircraft. Round-trip fares on car ferries serving Eleuthera, Andros, and
Abaco from Nassau are $200 for a car and one driver and approximately $65 for
foot passengers. Some travelers use the services of inter-island mail boats.
Nineteen mail boats depart Nassau for the Family Islands each week; one-way
fares range from $30 to $70. Service on a commercial catamaran is now offered
between New Providence and Eleuthera for $100 per person roundtrip.

Several direct flights connect Nassau with major American airports daily.
American Eagle provides hourly service to Miami. Bahamasair, Continental, Delta,
U.S. Airways, Chalks Ocean Airways and others provide direct service to Atlanta,
Charlotte, Cincinnati, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, New York, Orlando,
Raleigh-Durham, Philadelphia, Tampa, and West Palm Beach. British Airways
offers direct service to London Gatwick; Air Canada has flights to Toronto on
Saturday and Sunday only. Schedules change frequently.
EASY ECO-CAR TO BEGIN SELLING WHEEGO LIFE EVS IN THE BAHAMAS:-

The Wheego LiFe will soon be sold in the Bahamas by EASY Car Sales. The dealership will
sell the EV through its division called EASY Eco-Car.

Wheego LiFe

There is no doubt that EVs are well suited for the Bahamas. With short driving distances
and the price of fuel being outrageously expensive, EVs are perfect there.

John Felder, President and CEO of Cayman Automotive Leasing and distributor of these
electric vehicles stated:

The Caribbean is the perfect place for electric vehicles, shorter traveling distances,
lower speed limits, abundance of sunlight for solar panel charge stations and a
community that wants to protect their natural beauty and environment for all future
generations.

The Bahamas has more than enough sun to allow for electric vehicle charging to be
done with solar power. The protection of natural resources in the Bahamas is crucial as
the ecology of islands is not something they should tamper with.
OPPORTUNITY COMPANYS FUTURE ACTIVITIES

In accord with the companys overall strategy aiming at growth and sustainable
