Introduction
Bajaj Auto Ltd. (BAL) is one of the oldest and the largest manufacturer of
automobiles in India and has been the market leader in scooters. In 1990s, the
near monopolistic market structure, perhaps, lulled the company into being
complacent and they gave way to the competitors like Hero Honda and TVS.
Bajaj Auto is the flagship of the Bajaj Group of Companies. Bajaj is currently
India's largest two- and three-wheeler manufacturer and one of the biggest in the
world. Bajaj has long left behind its annual turnover of Rs. 72 million (1968), to
currently register an impressive figure of Rs. 81.06 billion.

manufacturer in the 200-250 cc segment enjoying the monopoly of this space.
But Bajaj launched the Bajaj Pulsar 220cc to break the monopoly of Hero
Honda.

vehicles. It operates in three segments, which are Automotive, Insurance and
Investment. It has a network of 498 dealers and over 1,500 service dealers

STEEPLE Analysis
Social:
The two wheeler industry has revolutionised in the past few years. We
have seen how the bikes have over taken to the scooters. Also the
demand and desires of the peoples of the India has changed
tremendously. Earlier the mileage of the bikes was the biggest point of
concern for the Indians, but now the scenario has changed now. People
wantmore power and resultant is tan now bike companies are targeting
more towards the high speed bike segment. All the big players such as
Bajaj, Hero Honda, TVS and Yamaha have launched bikes in the range of
150 CC to 300 CC.
Bajaj has launched Avenger (180CC), Pulsar (150CC, 180CC, 200CC,
220CC)
Technological:
The new Pulsar DTS-Fi (Digital Twin Spark-Fuel injected) is the first
bike from Bajaj Auto with the powerfulcombination of twin spark plugs
and fuel-injection technology and is an ultimate machine for the
performance motorcycle enthusiast. The latest offering has set new
benchmarks in technology, performance, and styling to address the
needs of a growing segment of pro-bikers. The biggest feature is the fuel
injection, which gives the bike that linear power curve, crisp feel and
instant throttle response so essential for a power bike. Besides the
mesmerizing looks, the motorcycle boasts a highly refined low noise, no
vibes 220cc motor that gives a ready 20 BHP & 1.95 kgm of torque. The
bike also comes equipped with an Oil cooler, which helps maintain Lube
oil viscosity under extreme conditions of stress and ambient
temperatures. It helps in cooling the engine internals.
Economical:
Economicalfactors contributeto whole country’speople. Currently,
there is a recession going on. It affects in savingthe money of people.
This affects in less buying. Dueto recession every automobile company
is facing the problem of stock not movingout/ customersare not buying
9. Marketing analysis of Bajaj Pulsar 220CC

the products. Also, inflation is another factor which affects. Dueto this
process of vehicles are increasing dueto increase in the prices of
complimentary products.
The bike is already highly priced with the price of around Rs92,000 (On
road) so any increase in the prices of the raw materials will increase the
cost of the bike and it would be difficult for the company to maintain the
current market share.
Environmental:
Increasing global warming is the threat for all of us. The increase in the
numbers of the bikes will increase the pollution. Ecological factors
implies to our surroundings and environment. The pollution is affecting
badly to our environment. The carbon mono-oxide coming out from the
vehicles affects to the health of people. As previously mention that Bajaj
is producing the vehicles at 100% non-polluting vehicles. So it is not
affecting the ecology much more.
Political and Legal:
Any increase in the road taxes or any related taxes by the governmentwill
increase the cost of the bike and it would be difficultfor the company to
maintain the currentmarket share. In Indiapolitical environmentisnotso
good. Political parties are looking for there own welfareinstead of helping
to the society. Dueto this Indiais lagging behind in developmentaswell.
There are certain political factors which affects the workingof the
company. The company hasto fulfillcertain rulesand regulations which
have to be adopted by the company.
Ethical:
Ethics relates to “what is right and what is wrong”. Various kinds of
frauds are increasing at a corporate level. The new high power and high
10. Marketing analysis of Bajaj Pulsar 220CC
10 | P a g e
speed bikes will increase the number of road accidents and causalities.
So it is necessary to limit the speed and power of the bikes according to
the roads of the country. The Satyam case is the example of unethical
practice. Due to this people have lost their jobs. But as far as Bajaj is
concern the company not involve in this unethical factors.

Michael Porter’s Five Forces Analysis
1. Entry Barriers:
a. Entry barriers are high.
b. The market runs on high economies of scale and on high economies
of scope.
c. The need for technical expertise is high.
Owning a strong distribution network is important and is very costly.
All these make the barrier high enough to be a deterrent for new
entrants.
2. Supplier Bargaining Power:
Suppliers of auto components are fragmented and are extremely critical for
this industry sincemost of the component work is outsourced. Proper
supply chain management is a costly yet critical need.
15. Marketing analysis of Bajaj Pulsar 220CC
15 | P a g e
3. Buyer's Bargaining Power:
Buyers in automobile markethave more choice to choose fromand the
increasing competition is driving the bargaining power of customers uphill.
With more models to choosefrom in almost all categories, the market
forces haveempowered the buyers to a large extent.
4. Industry Rivalry:
The industry rivalry is extremely high with any productbeing matched in a
few months by competitor. This instinct of the industry is primarily driven
by the technical capabilities acquired over years of gestation under the
technical collaboration with international players.
5. Substitutes:
There is no perfect substitute to this industry. Also, if there is any substitute
to a two-wheeler, Bajaj has presence in it. Cars, which again are a mode of
transport, do never directly compete or come in consideration while
selecting a two-wheeler, cycles do never even compete with the low entry
level moped for even this choice comes at a comparatively higher economic
potential.
Summarizing the industry analysis, it can be said that the two-wheeler
market is attractive as it scores well on three out of five categories.

prospective "probikers" a chance to test-ride the bikes on a specially
designed Indoor dynamometer It's also features both front and rear

Value Chain Analysis
Value Chain Analysis describes the activities that take place in a business and
relates them to an analysis of the competitive strength of the business. Influential
work by Michael Porter suggested that the activities of a business could be
grouped under two headings:
(1) Primary Activities - those that are directly concerned with creating and
delivering a product (e.g. component assembly); and
(2) Support Activities, which whilst they are not directly involved in production,
may increase effectiveness or efficiency (e.g. human resource management). It is
rare for a business to undertake all primary and support activities.
Value Chain Analysis is one way of identifying which activities are best undertaken
by a business and which are best provided by others ("out sourced").
Linking Value Chain Analysis to Competitive Advantage
What activities a business undertakes is directly linked to achieving competitive
advantage. For example, a business which wishes to outperform its competitors
through differentiating itself through higher quality will have to perform its value
chain activities better than the opposition. By contrast, a strategy based on
seeking cost leadership will require a reduction in the costs associated with the
value chain activities, or a reduction in the total amount of resources used.

Primary Activities.
Inbound Logistics.
Here goods are received from a company's suppliers. They are stored until they
are needed on the production/assembly line. Goods are moved around the
organisation.
Operations.
This is where goods are manufactured or assembled. Individual operations could
include room service in an hotel, packing of books/videos/games by an online
retailer, or the final tune for a new bike’s engine.
Outbound Logistics.
The goods are now finished, and they need to be sent along the supply chain to
wholesalers, retailers or the final consumer.
Marketing and Sales.
In true customer orientated fashion, at this stage the organisation prepares the
offering to meet the needs of targeted customers. This area focuses strongly upon
marketing communications and the promotions mix.
Service.
This includes all areas of service such as installation, after-sales service,
complaints handling, training and so on.
Support Activities.
Procurement.
This function is responsible for all purchasing of goods, services and materials.
The aim is to secure the lowest possible price for purchases of the highest
possible quality. They will be responsible for outsourcing (components or
operations that would normally be done in-house are done by other
organisations), and ePurchasing (using IT and web-based technologies to achieve
procurement aims).
28. Marketing analysis of Bajaj Pulsar 220CC
28 | P a g e
Technology Development.

innovate to reduce costs and to protect and sustain competitive advantage. This
could include production technology, Internet marketing activities, lean
manufacturing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and many other
technological developments.
Human Resource Management (HRM).
Employees are an expensive and vital resource. An organisation would manage
recruitment and s election, training and development, and rewards and
remuneration. The mission and objectives of the organisation would be driving
force behind the HRM strategy.
Firm Infrastructure.
This activity includes and is driven by corporate or strategic planning. It includes
the Management Information System (MIS), and other mechanisms for planning
and control such as the accounting department.
