1.8 SWOT ANALYSIS
11
Weaknesses in the SWOT analysis of Hyundai
HMIL took a long time to gain the market share as it’s not the first mover in
India
In terms of most reliable and trusted brand; Maruti is more strong in Indian
subcontinent
Spare parts of Hyundai vehicles are comparatively priced higher and spare
parts do not have PAN India presence
In SUV segment both Tucson and its next model Santa Fe didn’t make a
major impact
Increase in commodity prices such as steel, aluminum and ancillary parts has
affected margins
Since HMIL concentrates on both domestic and International sales there are
higher risks of exchange rate fluctuations
As Hyundai majorly concentrates on quality, most of its product are in
premium category in each segment. Hyundai is still struggling to make a better
impact in small car segment in terms of cost efficiency like other manufactures
Hyundai doesn’t have any product match to compete in corporate orders
like Tata Indica V2, Tata Sumo, Tata Indigo, Chevy Tavera, Ford Fiesta etc.
These vehicles are most preferred in both cab segment and government
booking for bulk orders

Chapter – 2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
During this period income of people has also increased manifold and significant
and discernible change has also been noticed in the attitude and aptitude of the
people in the form of shift from propensity to save to propensity to consume and
spend. Banks and other financial institutes have contributed positively in the form
of making available easy loans and financing facilities. Consequently India
became a favorable and hot destination for foreign car manufacturers and
marketers. Almost all foreign car manufacturers like Hyundai, Toyota, and
Chevrolet. Volkswagen, Honda and many more have set up their manufacturing
facilities in India. A number of Indian car manufactures entered in foreign
collaboration and started car manufacturing facilities in India. This resulted in
availability of a number of makes and models of cars, both big and small, in Indian
car market.
Conditions of roads have also improved and many new mega highways, highways
and express ways have been constructed. Not only internal city roads have
improved but cities are well connected with small towns and even with villages.
Entire country is connected with the help of national triangles and quadrangles. All
of the sudden a flood of big and luxury cars is witnessed on Indian roads. More
and more people started buying big cars irrespective of fact whether their means
permit them to do so partly due to demonstration effect and partly due to
15
availability of easy financing facilities. Meanwhile income and purchasing power of
central and state government officials increased substantially due to their pay
revision by V and VI pay commissions, IT companies started paying huge salaries
and incentives to their employees. These all culminated in buying of big and
luxury cars by more and more number of people and Indian roads started flooding
with the big cars.
In such a backdrop it was but natural to think and raise the doubts that under such
a changed scenario “are small cars still sustainable in Indian automobile sector”.
This has prompted the researcher to undertake this study.

Chapter – 4 Limitation of the Study
As the study was done within a branch of HDFC Bank it did not cover the
broad spectrum of customers.
35
Chapter – 5 Conclusion
The study helped me gain valuable insights in Opportunity Analysis and Consumer
Behavior, towards buying a New car. By interacting with the respondents and
making visits to the Uncertified Dealers. I have understood that understanding
customers is an art and it takes a very strong brand image for a company to retain
& grow its market share. The results of the survey proved to be both encouraging
and partly discouraging too. The respondents were not very positive about Car
Loan, which was quite discouraging sign for the company. The segment for which
HDFC Bank Ltd should cater to is a interest sensitive segment, so as the
organization should focus on highlighting the additional perquisites that they would
provide with the car loan, it is going to bond well with the targeted market and even
grow their market to all the geographical areas. But I believe that HDFC Bank Ltd
in used car loan has what it takes to become a name to reckon with in the market
and I offer my best wishes for the same and hope that my work will be of some use
for the company.
