Case Overview
 Luxury Car as defined in case is car priced above $ 40,000.
 In India, luxury car segment growing at 28% annually.
Profile:Earlier cars were considered a luxury only meant for
Maharajahs (kings) and a few Wealthy traders. (cars were
customized to please rich clients).
Two wheelers were more popular in the markets
primarly due to lower income levels and poor road
conditions .
Indian Luxury Car Market

Between 1950 & 1990 way to import cars was EOUs( Export
Oriented Units) with huge turnover.
 With liberlization , policies changed and so did consumer
behavior.For many Indians car has beome more a lifestyle
statement than a status symbol.
 Fuel efficiency and price tags were no longer the main
deciding factors for the buyer. Design and appeal in addition
to a brand are the strongest drivers in the luxury segment.
 Cars imported as CBUs against bookings only.
Carmakers usually adopt Three Fold Strategy:a) First create brand awareness about the product through
exhibitions and advertisements.
b) Established infrastructure with experienced dealer
networks to further enhance their presence .
c) Finally introduced the product line for the market.
Themes adpoted by various companies to target the customer :Hyundai :- Royalty .
Honda:- Intrinsic Value and Past performance.
Daimler:- Comfort and Class .
Second importance was given to the choice and location of
dealers.:-Showrooms in metros to serve the customer directly.
Competition Hots Up
With the launch of more than 20 luxury models , the
competition has become more intense but there are few
challenges too for premium carmakers in India.
- High Customs Duty ranging from 98% to 100% nearly
doubles the price of the vehicle.
-Waiting Period ( 2 to 7 months).
- Pot holes , traffic jammed roads of India.
But still favorable economic policies and vast population are
encouraging the automakers to have a foothold in India.
