Topic : COUSTOMER SATISFACTION OF MARUTI SUZUKI AT JAMMU MOTORS


Executive Summary
It was in 1970 that Sanjay Gandhi envisioned the manufacture of maruti which is known popularly as the people’s
car it is maruti which is known to give wheels to the nation. The first car of maruti was rolled out on Dec. 14,
1983 after collaboration with Suzuki motors.

Satisfaction is a person’s feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from a comparing perceived performance
in relation to his or her expectation. If the performance falls short of expectation, the consumer is dissatisfied. If
the performance matches the expectations, he consumer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectation, the
customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

In today’s competitive scenario firms consistently tries to satisfy his existing customer to get more customers in
every regards. To meet the desired expectation of customers companies has to look around all aspects of products
services and of course market condition, otherwise they may be out of the race. Automobile industry has the same
competitiveness and every firm in the industry is consistently working for enhancing their product and services.

INTRODUCTION OF MARUTI SUZKUKI

Maruti company – named after the son of Hanuman- Marut- the GOD of the Wind, has truly created a
sandstorm in the Indian Automotive world after its inception in 1981. Initially supported by late Sanjay
Gandhi, son of the late Prime minister, Indira Gandhi and borrowing the Japanese technology from its parent
Suzuki motors ,Maruti Udyog started manufacturing cars from 1983, Since then Maruti has overtook every
rival and has been the leader of the car manufacturing in India in terms of production, revenues and profits.
With over 15 models ranging from the Grand Vitara (which is completely imported SUV from Japan ) to the
new models such as the A star, ritz and the Swift series, Maruti continues its unimaginable dominance in the
indian subcontinent. In 2007 , the Suzuki motor corporation increased its stake in the share holdings and
Maruti udyog was renamed as Maruti Suzuki. Suzuki motors being a global leader in manufacturing compact
cars at one time was actually manufacturing lesser cars than the Maruti Suzuki itself. As of now Maruti Suzuki
remains a subsidiary of the Suzuki motor corporation from 2007 onwards and the government of India does’nt
have any stake .
With its largest plant in Gurgaon (Haryana) ,followed by Manesar , Maruti produces the largest number of cars
in a year .
INTRODUCTION OF MARUTI SUZUKI
The production of Maruti-800 in 1983 marked the beginning of a revolution in the Indian
automobile industry. It brought in the latest technology of that time more fuel efficiency and
lower prices that led to the creation of a huge market for all car segments as the Indian, middle
class grew in size. This in turn brought in more players in this segment. A number of auxiliary
car parts making units were set up as more car manufacturers realized it was more cost
effective to make their car parts in India rather than importing them.
Maruti’s major influence was in helping the component industry in the country because of its
emphasis on localization and indigenization. As in the beginning that sector hadn’t grown much
Maruti’s had to start dozens of joint ventures with Indian entrepreneurs. It got them from
foreign collaborations that led to collaborations for other manufacturers so that over a period of
time the whole component industry was able to upgrade itself and improve its quality who had
given their income leading to major existing export potential vehicle components. It also
brought in better methods of financing that allowed more people who given their income levels
could not afford to buy a car on their own, to buy cars. It still remains the leader not only in the
terms of market share but also in customer satisfaction surveys. It has consistently topped J.D.
power quality surveys, including 2005. By the year 1993 the company had sold 1, 96,820 cars.
By March 1994 it produced 1 million vehicles becoming the first Indian company to cross the 2
million mark in October, 1997 and rolled out 4 millionth vehicles as Alto-LX .Then it
introduced Wagon-R followed by Swift . Swift has been a great success in the market .In 2007
Maruti came up with SX4 and Grand Vitara breza
