Introduction: Today most international car manufacturers have entered the Indian market. India is the second largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world an also the second largest tractor manufacturer. It is also the 5th largest commercial vehicle manufacturer and 3rd largest car market. It was setup in to make general purpose utility vehicles for Indian market.

The company has started a separate sector, Mahindra Systems and Automotive technologies MSAT in order to focus on developing components as well as offering engineering services. Now, branched out into manufacturing of agricultural tractors, and also light commercial vehicles.

The company constantly manufactures its range of vehicles, whilst researching and developing new products. The more diversified parts of the business have been spun-off as separate business entities, and activities organized under various business groups. These groups now cover a wide range of markets: automotive, farm equipment, financial services, infrastructure and development, IT and automotive components. SituationAnalysis: Utility vehicles are rapidly capturing the market due to its multifarious use.

Its spacious interior and sturdy exterior have made this vehicle one of the fastest selling vehicles of India. This is multi use vehicle to accommodate many passengers in one vehicle, especially while going for a long trip with a big family or with a folk of friends. Sporty attributes of this vehicle is not negligible when mentioning about its use. The Scorpio is going to help grow the segment Improvement in road networks and reduction of excise taxation encouraged sales of cars among the young population.

They choose to enter the market when there was very little product development and when all the suppliers were hungry for business. Context: In late s Mahindra, a leader in UV segment was fast witnessing loss of market share. Global players were entering the auto market and aggressively launching products.

The Mahindra image was a barrier as well. Though it had positives as rugged, tough, reliable, economical vehicle. The negative parameters were that it was uncomfortable, rough, not easy, rural imaginary, down market etc. Although created in following an organizational restructuring, the Automotive Sector can trace its antecedents back to The iconic jeep that led American G. Over the years, the Group has developed a large product portfolio catering to a diverse customer base spanning rural and semi- urban customers, defence requirements and luxurious urban utility vehicles.

In , it launched the indigenously engineered world-class sports utility vehicle-Scorpio, which bridges the gap between style and adventure, luxury and ruggedness, and performance and economy Scorpio belonged to the SUV.

Further, there is more competition coming up in the segment with the likes of Suzuki with Grand Vitara and Hyundai with its Terracan among others set to enter the market this year. While both the Terracan and Vitara are expected to be priced in the Rs lakh range, the Scorpio is priced even lowe than its current competition. Its target customers were life style oriented customers. The company has also sourced the best of available technology from across the globe - ranging from the likes of Renault for the petrol engine , Visteon, BEHR, Meritor and so on.

Two-and-a- half years later, it has caused a paradigm shift in its category. It was a readymade global positioning. Unlike for its competitors in the UV category, people who wished to purchase a C class car would also consider a Scorpio," says Hormazd Sorabjee, Editor, Autocar India.

The figure touched 49 per cent this year. The Scorpio launch did play a significant role in driving the UV market up. This to me is the Marketing gurus suggest that the positioning of Scorpio was also very bold and innovative. But this would have made Scorpio a prisoner of the category, and it would have had to compete with other players in the category. This also would have restricted the growth of the category by itself.

Bold, because it goes against the existing frames of reference of customers and hence the need to create new frames of reference," elaborates Koshy. The new frame of reference also had a distinct brand strategy associated with it. As much was written about the project, the brand name Scorpio had built enough equity. Internal research showed that Scorpio featured in the top two suggested names. The company, however, got approval from the latter to use the name, except in certain European markets.

Says Jejurikar, "The product will cut across all geographical segments. We are targeting it at both the urban as well as rural consumer. The Scorpio will be positioned as a value product targeted at the young, demanding male. It was a classic case of a product defining a strategy instead of the other way around. Today, the gently greying Mahindra, who once wanted to make films, not automobiles, has proved adept at steering his over Rs 10, crore Company through this change.

Between July and January , the brand was Quieter engines were introduced after adopting the chain drive engine system. The seats were improved, and the new two-toned look was developed. Recently, Scorpio installed a Common Rail Diesel engine to meet the BS III auto emission norms As the product development took off, a phased communication strategy was plotted for the brand. During the first phase, the need to deal with issues such as lifestyle imagery was identified by the Mumbai-based advertising agency Interface Communications.

As a result, the television commercials depicted the product and a pan-global imagery, even as the print advertisements focused on functional benefits.

Mahindra claims that the new Scorpio is built around customer's needs. The legroom complaints have been taken care of with middle row seats that slide. They've also got new vents up front on the dash that I couldn't really figure out and angular aircon vents at the rear, so the third row isn't left out.

If you're not satisfied with it, don't sweat, as you can also fit a split air conditioner like the one you find in other big SUVs at any Mahindra dealership. What followed was a series of advertisements focusing on people and lifestyle rather than the product. The results are based on a research conducted by IMRB using Millward Brown's Brand dynamics model, an internationally recognized brand equity measurement tool.

Pricing: It adopted a penetrative pricing strategy. Its competition with accent, ikon, Qualis, Tata sumo. The second is the pricing strategy. Pricing for the Scorpio will ensure that it is not only competing with other utility vehicles in the segment, but also with the mid-size car segment priced in the Rs lakh range , which includes the likes of the Ford Ikon, the Opel Astra, and even cars such as the Fiat Palio the upper-end model.

The pricing strategy of Scorpio was definitely penetrative, especially when it lured the C segment buyers, and caught the fancy of the B segment buyers. The ability of any company to play the price game is a function of cost competitiveness, explains IIM's Koshy.

The Mumbai ex-showroom prices vary from Rs 6. I think that the company is certainly into the image game. Price therefore is more a tactical element and not a strategic vehicle," elaborates Koshy. The pricing could be on higher range because at the time of launch, people were willing and able to obtain loans, increasing acceptability of using financing to purchase vehicles.

Promotion: Prior to Scorpios launch, the team held a press-driven event in June to sell the positives of the car to auto experts and journalists. The event created publicity for the functional elements of the car and its attractive price point, leaving the television advertisements to sell the yuppie image.

Other international majors are battle scarred in other markets. All of them have capabilities to compete with the best anywhere. But what Scorpio did was alert all of them that nothing but the best will do in the Indian market too. Created by Interface Communications, the mass media campaign includes a series of press advertisements and a television commercial.

Till now we have sold over 20, Scorpios since we launched this brand. Among other initiatives the company plans to increase the vehicle's appeal includes the Top Gear Club which will offer a whole range of value-added services for Scorpio consumers. Further, the company has launched dealer up gradation programs, in which the showrooms which will showcase the Scorpio have been redesigned and given a trendy look. We plan to set new service paradigms through our dealer network.

In the primary phase, approximately 45 dealerships will be covered. The company will be rolling out the Scorpio in two phases outside India. We are expecting approximately 15 per cent of the sales for Scorpio to come from overseas. Says a company official, "There can even be the possibility that the Mahindra brand name may not be used for marketing the vehicle in certain countries depending on the market characteristics. The focus will be on selling the vehicle. Says Jejurikar, "The UV market overseas is huge.

For instance, in Indonesia it forms 80 per cent of the entire market, while the Asia average is about 40 per cent. In India, the figure currently stands at about 15 per cent. It had a phased launch, showroom exp and infrastructure. The Scorpio would continue to sell for many more years even though new vehicles bearing the Mahindra brand may unseat it from its lofty perch. But none of them are likely to be an avatar that would consume the company the way the Scorpio did. The firm has already chalked out marketing plans for these smaller towns, where the Scorpio is slated to sting competition by October this year.

It is also readying plans to introduce more variants on the Scorpio, V-P automotive sector Rajesh Jejurikar said. We will start with Alwar and Aligarh in the north, Hubli and Trichi in the south and Raipur in the west.

The firm has targeted to introduce the Scorpio in around 45 towns by December this year. However, there are no immediate plans to introduce a soft-top version of the vehicle in these markets.

Soft-top vehicles are in high demand in the semi-urban and rural towns, where vehicles of the size of Scorpio are generally used for transport purposes. Other options include a pick-up version for overseas.

But more than anything, the company is banking on the Scorpio to bring about a change in image and perception about the company. The launch also marks a paradigm shift in the company's strategy in terms of design, spends, as well as focus.

Scorpio has topped the charts of both customers and non-customers. According to Delhi-based Indicus Consumer Tracker, an independent brand-tracking firm, its study conducted in January this year revealed that 3. The figures seem diminutive, but when extrapolated on to a larger universe of product categories, they tell a different story. In terms of total number of units sold in the passenger vehicles segment, SUV holds a very small mind share, and yet Mahindra Scorpio is the only SUV brand that garners both brand and ad recall across the sample size.

Sales too have been zooming, says the company. According to brand-wise data, the company claims to be matching sales of most C segment cars, even outselling some of them. Scorpio achieved its targets on market share and achieved volumes of vehicles sale in the first 9 months of its launch.

Scorpio advertising had a very high recall for the Mahindra brand as well as product. Barusch 4 Test Bank. Brooks, Paul Dunn 6 Instructor's Manual.
