This document provides information about the auto component cluster in Chennai, India. It discusses the national scenario of the Indian auto component industry and how Chennai emerged as a major cluster. The Chennai cluster was induced by the establishment of large automotive companies in the area like Ashok Leyland and TVS in the 1950s and 1960s. This attracted many ancillary units to cater to these companies' needs. Today, Chennai is considered the hub of India's automobile industry and is known as the "Detroit of India".

Abstract :
The report highlights the analysis of the drivers and explains the factors for growth of the industry. Growing Automotive industry, the auto after market demand, the healthy economic outlook also opportunities from new US IT Compliance Law, are the key drivers of this market. Auto makers are placing bulk orders for supply of auto parts to the auto parts manufacturers. India is also an attractive destination for the foreign investors with consistently increasing FDI in the automobile sector. The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket or replacement market are the two prime source of demand for auto components in India but Strong aftermarket provides better sales stability and higher operating margins than an OEM.
There are various challenges too that the Auto Ancillary industry faces, Rising labor costs, Counterfeit Market, Technical Inefficiency and depreciating currency are the major challenges faced by the auto ancillary industry. Rise in steel prices further adds to the cost disadvantage as steel is a primary raw material for the auto ancillary industry. Organized sector facing serious threats from rapidly growing counterfeit market in India, Fake auto parts hold a considerable amount of share of the total aftermarket. Since the finishing and packaging of fake parts closely replicate the original products, consumers fail to differentiate between the fake and original parts. Depreciating currency has adverse impact on the imports resulting in declining profits for the import dependent auto parts manufacturers. However, on the positive side, it has increased the cost-competitiveness of exports and also OEMs will look towards sourcing from local players due to higher price of imports
Government has plans of setting up the National Automotive Board (NAB) which will act as a catalyst between the government and the auto parts industry. Auto Component manufacturing companies should identify the long term growth pockets and enhance global competitiveness accordingly. They should diversify into adjacent fields of business, such as defense, construction, farm implements etc. They should also cooperate with government to enhance country competitiveness.

An Analysis of Automobile Industry of India as a Market StructureMuhammad Anowar
Automobile industry is a symbol of technical marvel by human kind. Being one of the fastest growing sectors in the world its dynamic growth phases are explained by nature of competition, product life cycle and consumer demand. Today, the global automobile industry is concerned with consumer demands for styling, safety, and comfort; and with labor relations and manufacturing efficiency. The industry is at the crossroads with global mergers and relocation of production centers to emerging developing economies.
Asia has become the major consumer as well as supplier of automobiles. India is concentrating on Middle East and south Asia beside traditional developed country destinations. With the gradual opening up of the component sector, now the challenge is for individual governments to support the development of domestic critical component and sub-system suppliers through, improvement in the investment environment, stronger patent regimes and incentives for R&D.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

1.1 NATIONAL SCENARIO
India's automotive component industry manufactures the entire
range of parts required by the domestic automobile industry for various
vehicles including cars, jeeps, light and heavy commercial vehicles
(LCV's and HCV's), tractors, two and three wheelers. The Automotive
Component Industry's output for the financial year 1999-2000 was US$
(M) 3894 with a growth rate of 26% against financial year 1998-99. For
the 2000-01 auto component production touched US$ M 4000 (Rs. 20000
crores appx.) The industry registered a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 19.5% between 1994 and 1999.
Most components required by the Indian automobile industry are
manufactured locally. Import dependence is low, approximately 13% of
domestic demand, and usually restricted to items requiring special steels
and materials or precision engineering (gearboxes for instance).
The mainstay of auto component industry is auto industry. The
annual production of auto industry is US$ Million 10000 (Rs. 50000
Crores app). It is large in size compared to other ‘priority’ industries and
has great employment potential. The auto industry has strong backward
(component, basic material) and forward linkages (Insurance, Financing,
and Oil Industry & Roads). The industry contributes 17% of the total
indirect taxes collected by the exchequer and is a driver of product and
process technologies. Annexure details out production of passenger
vehicles and commercial vehicles during the past decade.
There are 402 medium and large key players in auto components in
the organized sector along with 6000 ancillary units. However in the
unorganized sector there are approximately 5000 SSIs. The direct
employment generated by the medium and large firms in the organized
sector is 2, 50,000. No figures are available for unorganized sector.

4. Chennai and Pune are the traditional locations of the industry.
Delhi and its surrounding areas are the new locations that came into
existence mainly because of Maruti .The geographical spread of medium
and large companies as per records of ACMA is as under
North region 161
Western region 123
Southern region 91
Eastern region 27
1.1.1 EVOLUTION
Initial phase :The Indian auto component industry started out
small in the 1940,supplying components to Hindustan Motors and
Premier Automobiles. In the1950,the arrival of Telco, Bajaj, Mahindra
and Mahindra led to steadily increasing production . In India, the
vehicle industry till the 1980s was characterized by an oligopoly
structure, small-scale operations, high cost of production , technological
obsolescence and numerous government regulations. In this periods, there
was a tendency for vehicle manufacturers to produce parts and
components in-house and components manufacturers started mainly to
cater to replacement demand.
It was however in the 1980, with Maruti, that growth suddenly
accelerated and the industry came of age. Before entry of Maruti,
majority of the components were produced in house by vehicle
manufacturers leaving uneconomic volumes and lower profits margins.
But the entry of Maruti Udyog Ltd (MUL) in mid 80s led to a paradigm
shift in the auto ancillary sector Boon time for the auto components
industry started with the arrival of India’s people’s car. This gave birth to
a variety of new age auto components manufacturers who manufactured
components that combined the best of technology with quality. With the
success of Maruti, the paths of Indian auto component industry took an
up swing with the climbing of export figures as a result of low cost of
labour and material. The giant players in automobile industry encouraged
and facilitated growth of auto component industry around their units.
Post liberalisation: The next turn in the auto and auto component
industry came with the onset of liberalisation policies. The growing
urbanisation and increasing purchasing power, coupled with
4
5. liberalization process set in motion since1991, has made industry circle,
predict India is going to be the largest market in the automotive field in
the Asian region.
After liberalization and with the consequent opening up of the auto
sector in 1992-93, the license raj ceased to exist. A number of
collaborations such as PALs with Peugeots, DCMs with DAEWOO,
entry of G M etc. have significantly changed the scenario in the
automobile sector, particularly passenger vehicles sector. Similar
developments have been taking place in the field of manufacturing of
commercial vehicles including LCV sector, with most of the international
names having some tie-ups in India.
The entry of major internationals has caused new manufacturing
capacities to come up in the Indian automobile components sector in
collaboration with world leaders. Indian automotive component
manufacturing industry in keeping itself fully in tune with the
technological advances being made all over the world. This has helped
them to develop their export base. Some of the automotive component
manufacturers in India have already emerged as major global players by
tying up with several well-known OEMs overseas as component
suppliers. Indian auto component industry has entered into nearly 450
overseas technical collaborations and more than 50 component
companies have already secured ISO 9000 accreditation.
However the auto components industry went overboard with huge
capacity expansion and modernization programs. Similarly, the global
auto giants soon realized that the Indian market was not as big as it
appeared to be. Their targets went haywire, inventories piled up and
bookings were cancelled. This also coincided with a general slowdown in
the Indian economy in the last one or two years. The auto component
industry in India, which is driven by domestic demand, also faced
sluggish growth.
Following growth of around 20% between 1993–1997, the industry
is now experiencing a slow down across almost all segments (except the
two wheeler segment). This is due partly to the overall slowing down of
the world economy but domestic fiscal policies have also added to this
situation. However, the industry is still expected to grow at around 10%
pa. The automotive industry currently accounts for around 5% of
domestic industrial output.
5
6. Some Indian companies have used the interim period to trim down
by cutting costs and improving productivity. Several companies have
entered into technological collaboration and equity partnership with
world leaders in auto components. They have not only adopted their
systems but also their work ethics and management practices. Strict
quality controls, sound technology and high volumes will enable the
Indian auto component industry to chart greater progress in the coming
future.
By global standards, there is a fairly well developed component
and ancillary industry with some suppliers already meeting global
technical and quality standards, particularly at Tier 1 level but many other
lack such competence. Pressure is on suppliers to raise the quality of their
products to remain competitive. Total investment in the component
industry is around $2bn (up from $1.7bn in 1996/97) with output
estimated at around $3.8bn. The majority of companies (approx 78%) are
SMEs with a turnover of less than $10m. In terms of location over 70%
are situated in either the northern or western regions.
Exports are expected to increase as a result of over capacity in the
domestic car industry and the government's policy to bring in a more
liberal regime on the foreign exchange front. The flood of new entrants
into the car industry as a result of liberalization has led to a complete
transformation of the sector. These far reaching changes will also leave a
permanent mark on the auto component industry.

7. 1.1.2 STRUCTURE OF THE INDUSTRY
The Auto ancillary industry is classified into the following product
segments.
Engine and Engine Parts - Pistons, Piston rings, Gaskets,
Carburettors, Fuel Injection Pumps etc.
Drive Transmission - Transmission gears,Steering gears
and Steering Parts Crown wheels and pinions, axles,
wheels etc.,
Suspension and Braking - Leaf springs, Shock absorber,Brake
Parts Parts, assemblies etc.,
Electricals - Spark plugs, Starter motors,
Generators,Distrbuters, Voltage
regulators, Flywheel magnetos,
Ignition coils.
Equipment - Dashboard instruments, headlights,
horns,Wipers etc.,
Others - Fan belts, Sheetmetal parts, Plastic
mouldings etc.,
The segmentwise concentration of Auto Component units is as follows.
Segment No of Units Prodn Value
( Rs. bn )
Engine Parts 99 32.52
Transmission / Steering 62 20.05
Suspension / Braking 28 16.69
Electricals 24 6.70
Equipments 38 5.83
Others 23 17.54
Total(organized ind) 274 99.33
Total SSI’s Around 6000 27.50

8. Markets: As regards the market for automotive components, a
major proportion (nearly 55 percent) is the vehicle industry for original
equipment. Replacement demand constitutes 35 percent of domestic
production. Exports account for the remaining 10 percent .The
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) market has been growing
since the 1980s owing to a rapid growth in the passenger car and two
wheeler segments. Replacement market demand has also been growing
with an ever – increasing vehicle population, deteriorating driving
conditions due to stop-and go traffic and poor road conditions. Some of
the components having high replacement demand are fuel injection
equipment, filters (air/oil/fuel), piston components, gaskets, gears,
alternators, brake lining, rear view mirror, clutches and headlights.
Engine and transmission parts constitute a good proportion of exports,
which cater mostly to the replacement market abroad.
Low volume and fragmented market: The Indian auto
component industry is low- volume and fragmented. In terms of turnover,
it is only about one tenth of the size of the world’s largest automotive
company, Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation of US.
The unorganised small-scale sector is estimated to contributed
nearly 23 percent to the industry’s total production. A majority of these
small-scale units are located in Delhi and Haryana. They produce low-
technology products that require simple production set-ups like gaskets.
Engine valves and sheet metal components. Most of these units employ
older technologies including second-hand machine. Usually the small-
scale sector plays a role in the production of components for which excise
duty is high, as small-scale units are given excise duty concessions that
lower the price of their products. The unorganised small-scale sector
mostly caters to the replacement demand, with a few exceptions like
sheet metal components. It is because almost production of sheet metal
parts caters to the demand of the vehicle manufacturers and it does not
have to meet any replacement demand.
The fragmented nature of the auto ancillary industry implies that
capacity of each individual player is small by world standard and the auto
ancillary industry has to contend with multiple sourcing, wherein the
OEMs prefer to spread orders for the same ancillary products across
several ancillary companies.
8
9. Dominant firm with a competitive fringe : The industry structure
of the Indian auto components industry can be taken as a minor variant
of dominant firm with a competitive fringe which theoretically refers
to an industry that has a single firm with a dominant share of the market
and many fringe or small firms each with a trivial share of the market.
A firm is dominant either because of a superior product or lower costs or
both. The costs of a firm could be lower due to economies of scale,
experience, especially due to early entry, better technology and
management. It is not a single firm but a few firms together that
control the dominant share of the market leaving a tiny share to
numerous small firms . Three to five firms have more than 75 percent of
the market for almost all the products For example, three players, namely,
Escorts Mahle , India Pistons and Shriram Piston and Rings, dominate the
piston segment with more than 70 percent of the turnover of the
industry Jay Bharat Maruthi and Mark Auto are industry leaders in the
sheet metal parts with around 70 percent of the industry’s turnover .
These firms play a dominant role mainly due to some degree of
independence in product design and continued technological up
gradation.
Growth pattern over past few years: The auto components
market is growing at the rate of 10% per year. The demand from OEM
market is dependent on the demand for new vehicles. The total value of
the industry output has grown steadily over the years-from a total
production of Rs 8.37bn in FY85 to Rs 126.8bn in FY99. The industrial
out put in the organized and small scale sector grew at a compounded
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5% in the last 6 years.
SEGMENT FY94 FY95 FY96 FY97 FY98 FY99 CAGR
Engine Parts 15.22 19.15 23.90 31.39 31.61 32.52 16.4%
Transmission/Steering 8.54 11.07 15.24 18.84 18.81 20.05 18.6%
Suspension / Braking 6.32 9.83 13.55 16.60 15.99 16.69 21.4%
Electrical 3.15 4.21 5.42 5.86 6.55 6.70 16.3%
Equipment 2.28 2.82 4.40 5.87 5.81 5.83 20.7%
Others 3.92 4.67 7.17 9.70 13.79 17.54 34.9%
Total (organized) 39.43 51.75 69.68 88.27 92.55 99.33 20.3%
Total (SSI) 12.62 15.52 20.90 26.48 27.77 27.50 16.9%
The export market with a 10% market share (with a growth rate of
20% per annum) is another factor which determines the growth of the
auto ancillary industry and is crucial as it protects it from domestic
recession.

10. 1.2 CHENNAI CLUSTER
The establishment of Ashok Leyland in the late 50’s and TVS
group of companies in the early 60’s had provided the impetus for
starting of a large of ancillary / components manufacturing units in this
region for catering to the component requirement of the above units.
Infact ,the auto component cluster at Chennai is an induced one,
and has been linked to the established of the larger industries like Ashok
Leyland, TVS Group, Rane Group and Amalgamation group of
companies. Initially it started with the establishment of some units then
gradually expanded in line with the level of sophistication and product
range of the larger units. Today Chennai is popularly known as Hub of
automobile industry and also known as Detroit of India.
Some of the advantages that this region had in attracting auto component
industry are
• Chennai has the tradition of producing a large pool of intellectual
workforce & trained hard working industrial labour.
• State’s power deficit is negligible & the power tariffs are 15-20%
lower than other major states in India.
• Business friendly Government policies & Socio-cultural
environment
• Traditionally very strong in Engineering & Auto sectors.
• Chennai economy is well balanced with the InfoTech, Industrial,
Entertainment & other service sector establishments playing equal
role in the city's growth.
• Chennai is home to world-class automobile companies like Ford,
Hyundai, Hindustan Motors, Ashok Leyland, Royal Enfield, Tafe,
TVS.
• Chennai is located in the northern part of Tamil Nadu. Hence the
Chennai port & Chennai International Airport act as the gateway to a
substantial portion of southern India comprising Karnataka,
Tamilnadu, Andrapradesh & Kerala, which have emerged as the
fastest growing states in the post liberalisation era.
Today auto component firms in the cluster have placed themselves
on the world map- a few of them already getting prestigious awards like
Deming award.
10
11. 1.3 GLOBAL TRENDS
A globalized industry dominated by a few firms
Over 80% of world car production is accounted by six major global
groups (dominated by the USA and Japan). Consolidation in the
commercial vehicle sector has gone even further, with five major groups
dominating the global markets for trucks and buses. A similar process has
occurred in the component sector, which is increasingly dominated by
large multi-national firms, which seek to establish a leading position in
key technologies. Yet in all parts of the industry some smaller
independent companies continue to survive, and indeed thrive, in
particular sectors of the market.
The retail sector contrasts with this picture, still largely organised
along national lines. Retailers are also consolidating, fuelled by increased
competitive pressures resulting from new channels to market such as the
internet and growth in imports.
Increasing sophistication
The industry is technologically advanced, both in terms of
manufacturing processes and in its products. It is characterised by
economies of scale and low unit costs, despite the increasing complexity
of the fundamental product. Manufacturers are seeking to differentiate
their products through technology and branding to restore margins
particularly by applying electronics to vehicles. The proportion of
electronics in the average vehicle may well double from the current level
of around 20% over the next ten years, particularly in the areas of
management systems and telematics. The engine management system
alone can be at least 10% of the value of the car. Suppliers are taking on
an increased responsibility for product development, design and sub-
assembly as the manufacturers focus on core capabilities.
A key force driving technological change is environmental
regulation. The industry has made major strides in the areas of emissions
control and safety, but will face pressures for further improvement.
11
12. Intense competition
The industry suffers from global over-capacity and with
manufacturing best practice rapidly diffused around the world, the fight
to build or retain market share is relentless and competition fierce. Lean
production is not enough; companies are striving to improve profitability
by building desirable brands, through excellence in design, engineering
and marketing. In Europe last year, Ford and General Motors made losses
of $1bn and $463m respectively. They are both in the throes of
substantial programmes to cut their overcapacity, through plant closures
and other rationalisation. Honda, Nissan and Toyota have also been
making losses in Europe, despite their impressive record on productivity.
The current economic slowdown, which many commentators expect to
worsen, may well lead to further reductions in both the United States and
Europe. The pressures on suppliers, which were already intense, are
likely to increase yet further.
Major driving force for various industries
The passenger car segment has emerged as a major driving force
for upstream industries like steel, iron, aluminum, rubber, plastics, glass,
and electronics and down stream industries like advertising and
marketing, transport and insurance. The car industry generates large
amount of employment opportunities in the economy. For example in the
US, every sixth worker is involved in the making of an automobile.
Slow growth rate
The global automotive car market is growing at a rate of only 2
percent per annum and is not expected to pick up in the near term.
Growth has dropped due to the increasing levels of saturation in the
larger car markets of the world. Worldwide the trend is towards ensuring
that one's products are superior in terms of quality. This will enhance the
useful life of cars and, hence, slow down growth in sales.The world car
production has increased from 44.66 mn in 1996 to an estimated 48.3 mn
cars in 1999. Japan, Canada and USA brought about the major increases,
which contribute to 53% of the world's car production. The largest car
market - the US market expects car sales to decline 8 to 9 per cent to 16
million cars in 2001, as compared to 17.4 million cars sold in 2000.
12
13. The USA and Japan are the leaders with around 42% of the total
world market. However, since the last two to three years, the international
passenger car industry has been witnessing an over capacity of more than
30%. The trend suggests that industry volumes may grow by just 2% or
around 10 mn vehicles per year. If this situation continues for the next
few years the world car market may witness shakeout in the near future.
Already signs towards this are being observed as the phenomenon of
mergers catches on. The recent mergers in the international car market are
Ford-Volvo, Renault-Nissan, Daimler-Chrysler. A few more players are
expected to join the fray in the next few years so as to strengthen their
hold in the world market. Among the top car manufacturing companies
General Motors and Ford Motors group of USA lead with a contribution
of 15.8% and 11.6%, of world car production, respectively. Volkswagen
and Toyota stand third and fourth with more than 9% contribution each to
the world car production.
Shifting trend in sales
The global domination of the larger automotive manufacturers is
slowly on the wane and the trend in sales is shifting towards more
"region-centric" products. Automakers that have been enjoying a
generally prosperous spell would have to rethink on the way vehicles are
designed, manufactured, distributed or sold. Already, players like General
Motors Volkswagen and Toyota have begun to re-examine their dealer
relationships and pricing strategies. Carmakers would now have to think
in terms of a new customer focus and provide better financing and
servicing. Strategic tie-ups, mergers and acquisitions have become the
talk of the day. A few instances are Daimler Benz's tie-up with Chrysler
of the US, Ford's acquiring of Daewoo and tie up with Volvo Car
Corporation and Renault acquiring a stake in Nissan. Such deals will
certainly lead to economy in terms of costs but it remains to be seen
whether they will also create significant new opportunities for growth.

15. 3. CLUSTER ACTORS
3.1 CORE CLUSTER ACTORS
The core cluster actors in Chennai auto component cluster could be listed
as follows
• Large and Medium enterprises
• Vendors to these large firms
• Small firms catering to replacement markets
• Job shops in metal cutting, grinding, metal forming
• Foundries
• Heat treatment units
• Forging units
• OEM manufacturers of vehicles- as customers
• Material supplier
Large and Medium Enterprises:
As per figures given by ACMA there are about 40 medium and
large enterprises. Most of the Industries in this category are sub assembly
manufacturers supplying to OEMs in India. Some of these units have also
entered the export markets recently. Two business houses control a
majority of the large units. A list of large enterprises is attached to the
report.
Most of these large units have got good exposure to world class
manufacturing practices. Some of these units have completed tierisation
of their vendors and some are in the process. These units are now
insisting upon their vendors to go for quality certification in addition to
offering warranty for their products. The concepts like Just In Time, zero
percent rejection are insisted from the vendors. Some industries like TVS
group of industries have got partnership approach with their vendors i.e.
guiding vendors in choosing right machinery , process technology,
15
16. training , implementation of quality up gradation etc.. Few industries
have got world recognition in the form of Deming award.
Vendors to Large and Medium Firms:
Each of the larger units have 100-200 vendors who serve them.
Most of these are in the throngs of tierisation. Most of vendors are
skeptical about their being on tier 2 or tier 3. They fear delayed payments
from their newer customers, lack of technical support, which they till now
were receiving from large companies. The psychological issue of
separation from principal is also a big issue.
A large no of these units are facing constant pressures from
principal companies to reduce cost and improve quality. Some of the
units have become quality conscious but on the whole quality is lacking
in most of these vendors. Principals are forcing these vendors to go in for
quality certifications like ISO-9000.
Most of the vendors are keen to get in to consortia and make a
complete sub assembly as a group. In such a scenario, they are sure to
break in to export markets directly.
Small firms catering to replacement markets:
The presence of these firms in nos is high in the cluster. Some
estimates put it at more than 200 firms. Mostly they are catering to
replacement market because of low product cost. The low product cost is
mainly because of excise duty concessions given to the small firms.
These industries have got more margins up to 25%. Of late these units
are facing competition. It is not uncommon to see most of the units going
in for reckless undercutting in prices without any real cost management,
or sound basis, which is detrimental to the entrepreneur’s interest in the
longer run. They are facing high rejection rate. Now it is become mandate
to offer 1 year warranty for their products.
Job shops :
There are about 1000 job shops. However most of them cater to not
only automobile industry but also other engineering industry. Most of the
industries have conventional machine tools; employ old and experienced
16
17. people who have at least an ITI qualification. The units with advanced
technology machine tools like CNC lathes, Machining Centres etc.,
employ diploma holders, Engineering graduates who are then trained in
parts programming and then put on the job. However such units are less
in number. Some of the units expressed that enough CNC trained
operators were not available in the cluster. The wages and facilities
provided to the employees are not good. Many industries are not quality
certified. They have got low margins because of cutthroat competition
among this group of industries. A few units are run by entrepreneurs
without formal technical education but a lot of shop floor experience in
other Small / Medium units. This type of entrepreneurs are technically
sound and have a gut feeling as to what will work and what will not, but
lack sound knowledge of enterprise management and cost effectiveness.
Foundries:
There are approximately 31 foundries in the cluster. About 21 of
them are SMEs. No details are available with the association –IIF as to
how many of them exclusively work for the auto component industry.
50% of them are ISO-9000 certified. Since all are energy intensified
units power saving is the main area for this sector. Few of them only have
gone for energy audits. Some have to go for mechanization of shops
under technology up gradation. They are facing problem from buyers
because of the tight quality system parameters.
Heat Treatment Units:
There are few units existing with good facilities and manufacturing
practices. They are getting constant pressure from the OEMs in delivery
schedules. None of the industries have done Energy Audit. Few units are
ISO 9000 certified. They don’t have exposure to new technologies
available in the market. Lot of secrecy in procurement of materials. An
exclusive association formed for these units which is now not in
operation.
Forging Units :
These industries are facing severe competition. They are getting
constant pressure from the OEMs to reduce the prices. Many industries
are not exposed to good manufacturing practices. The level of the safety
is low in this sector. Very few industries only done energy audit.
Pollution is a threat for these industries. Pollution control measures have
been taken up recently.
17
18. Material Suppliers:
Dealers and alloy casters are the major conduits. Most of the units
buy the materials through the dealer of big manufacturers. Raw materials
like steel and Fe-alloys are principally sourced from SAIL, and its
suppliers. For Non-Ferrous alloys like Aluminium, there are local
remelting units & Foundries that manufacture the alloys & ranges with
different composition based on the requirements of the manufacturers.
SIDCO is in the forefront in supplying raw material to the needy
industries. It has got price preference from SAIL. SIDCO has got few
depots in the industrial estates to cater the needs of the industries.
The units get the credit for the purchases for a period ranging from
one to two months. Generally minimum order quantities are not too high
for the components. Most of the times, units do not get any value added
services from the dealers regarding technical inputs or advice relating to
the material they are using.
Good Model
In respect of vendors of Ashok Leyland, the OEM has a tie up
with SAIL, and practices an informal consortium approach wherein
the steel requirements of all its vendors are clubbed together and a price
is negotiated with the SAIL based on the bulk purchase. This has gone a
long way in helping Ashok Leyland’s vendors to reduce the raw material
costs. This can be role model in the cluster.
Original Equipment Manufacturers:
They are in the process of tierisation. Recently established
Industries like Hyundai, Ford have done 100% tierisation where as old
industries like Ashok Leyland, Hindustan Motors are still in the process. They
give inputs to their vendors like benefits of common raw material procurement,
implementation of quality systems, technology up gradation and world class
manufacturing methodologies. There is no mechanism of sharing their vendors
and no common vendor rating.
18
19. 3.2 CURRENT INSTITUTIONAL MATRIX
TANSTIA
It is an apex body recognised by both State and Central
Governments and was established in 1956. It has more than 100
members, consisting of all district level associations, Trade
associations in Tamilnadu, and many Small and Tiny industries as its
members. This Association plays a promotional role and participates
in the Committees set up by State and Central Government and
promotes the interest of the Small and Tiny industries. It is trying to
bring Cluster Development Phenomenon in major industrial estates of
the state. However as on date there is no organic link between auto
component cluster and TANSTIA.
AIEMA
This is the association of the units in the Ambattur Industrial
Estate, which has about 2000 units located in it. It has got 700
registered member industries out of which 100 units are small, scale
auto component manufacturers. This is a very active association
and promptly takes up the problems of its members with the
Government departments and Agencies concerned. It has started
activities to bring consortium approach among its members. The
association is very active in organising ACMEE- a exhibition largely
catering to automotive component industry. This is organised once in
2 years. They also organise Buyer seller Meet for Auto component
Industries.
ACMA
Auto Components Manufacturers Association is an all India
Association and has an extensive database on the auto components
manufacturers and their production. This association has a regional
office at Chennai headed by an Asst. Director, and organises buyer-
seller meets, trade fairs, and Seminars and lectures. This body
produces a comprehensive statistical report on the Automobile and
Auto Components Sectors and publishes a number of publications.
This association is also a member of many Government Committees
and represents the issues & problems faced by its members on those
forums.. Most of its members from Medium and Large scale sectors.
The visibility of this association in the cluster is low. No data is
available on how their Chennai member industries are performing,
19
20. their share, export details. There is no linkage with other support
institutions in the cluster.
SISI
This is a Central Government Organization coming under the
control of the Development Commissioner Small Scale Industries, and
in turn under the Ministry of SSI, Govt of India. This is the body,
which disseminates information about the Central Governments
policies and schemes and also conducts training programmes in
various disciplines. Under the aegis of UNIDO, this organization also
has a subcontracting exchange for vendors. This organization has been
mandated to play a role as a cluster development agency in the auto
component cluster at Chennai .It can cater the needs of the industries
in skill up gradation programme. It also offers consultancy services on
ISO 9000 certification at competitive rate. It also recommends to DC
(SSI) for reimbursement scheme for ISO certified industries.
NSIC
This is a Govt of India Agency, which had been set up to promote,
aid and foster the growth of Small industries in the country. The
organization is involved in Hire Purchase and leasing schemes and
also has a Raw material Assistance Scheme for supplementing the
availability of raw materials to a large number of units. Hire
purchase scheme can be utilised in the cluster for technology up
gradation. During last financial year around Rs 30 crores was
disbursed to 100 entrepreneurs. It also operates Consortia marketing
assistance program. . The institution is keen to play an active role in
the cluster development programme.
SIDBI
This is a financial Institution had been set up with the objective of
assisting the development of the Small Scale Sector in India. This
Institution has a number of Schemes for the SSI Sector of which a few
prominent ones are the TDMF, TUF, and CREDIT LINKED
CAPITAL SUBSIDY SCHEMES. This Institution also assists in
many developmental activities especially on HRD front and will have
a major role to play in for the implementation of the cluster
approach in the auto component sector at Chennai.
20
21. CIPET
Central Institute of Plastic Engineering & Technology is in the
forefront in offering training, consultancy services, and testing
facilities. It has got good linkages with industries. Many auto
component industries and automobile manufacturers avail services. It
conducts placement programmes for the trainees with the help of
industries.
EEPC
Engineering Exports Promotional Council is a Central Government
organisation coming under the Ministry of Commerce, and keeps
tracks of the exports engineering goods including auto components
that are exported from the country. This body also helps the industry
by organising buyer-seller meets, Exhibitions, Foreign exposure trips
etc. It operates Marketing Development Assistance Scheme in
which airfare will be reimbursed, financial assistance for preparation
of publicity material and market survey on specific product. It has no
data as to how many auto component industries got benefited. It is
taking business delegation to US in the first quarter of 2003 which
will be useful to auto component industries. On the whole the
institution is ken to play an active role in cluster development
programme.
TIIC
This is the premier financial institution in the State and does
Project financing for Medium and Small Scale units in the State. Apart
from the conventional term loan lending, this institution also has a
Scheme for Modernisation, which the units in the Auto component
cluster avail for upgrading their technology. It is industrial friendly
institution. Many industries are availing fund for working capital.
DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIES & COMMERCE
This Department deals with the Small Scale industries in the
State, and apart from the regular developmental work done by the
Dept like registering the SSI units in the State, it also implements a
number of Govt Incentive Schemes. The special capital subsidy
scheme for auto component sector (for buying machinery) has been
withdrawn recently in which these industries used to get 20% subsidy.

Technology up gradation slower
Low Research & Development efforts
Inadequate flow of market information
Size of firm &Economies of scale low
Scattered production of auto components in the SSI Sector
Technically sound but needs inputs and guidance in financial
management and cost effectiveness
High electricity tariff
23
24. High rate of interest for loans
No tailor made trainings by institutions
Poor working conditions
Too many interventions by statutory & regulatory authorities
No effective agency to help for export market
High tax & duties structure
Slow indigenisation process
Lack of brand image
OPPORTUNITIES:
Growing domestic and international market
Product diversification
Abundant scope to cater to foreign majors setting up shop in India.
Ability To Cater To Small Batch Sizes
THREATS:
Auto giants in and outside the cluster alternatively looking for global out
sourcing
Fierce Competition from other countries in raw materials cost and
productivity disadvantages
Slow incorporation of quality
Import of second hand automobiles, Complete knock CKD kits
ISO 9000/QS 9000 are a necessity
Government policies

25. 5. VISION
The Chennai auto component firms would strive to
grow by 20% annually with 30% growth in exports
over the next 5 years to become a global source for
auto component supplies
25
26. 6. STRATEGY FOR INTERVENTION IN CLUSTER
In the post liberalisation period and emerging WTO regime the
hitherto protection available to automobile and auto component industry
has dwindled over a period of time . The gap between Indian auto
component industry and global standard is still huge and industry would
need to upgrade itself for survival and growth. The transformation from a
totally protected market to emerging free market is going to be painful.
The progressive and forward-looking large units in the cluster have
shifted their focus to quality improvement, waste minimisation and
rationalization of their supply chains. There is a continuous pressure upon
vendors to upgrade their technology , quality systems and reduce wastes.
In such a scenario the challenges for the SMEs would be to rise to the
occasion and become competitive not only in the Indian context but at
global level. With opening up of economy and liberalisation an
opportunity has also emerged for small manufacturers who can get into
export market. However this challenge can be met only through consortia
approach where few SMEs come together to make a full sub assembly.
The priority therefore will be to
1. Upgrade SMEs who are either vendors to the large industries or
catering to replacement market on the quality and price front using
BDS intervention.
2. Directly link to some of the progressive SMEs to the market both
domestic and exports using consortia approach.
3. Facilitate technology up gradation to SMEs
4. Most of these challenges will have to be achieved by building the
capacities of associations like ACMA and creating new ones to foster
mutual learning and help them to under take initiative that individual
firms can’t undertake.
The action plan for 2003 is designed to meet the above objectives and
broad outline of the plan is as under.
1. Facilitating adopting of world class manufacturing practices at all
levels of the value chain
2. Capacity building of existing and new networks
3. Facilitation of technology up gradation
4. Direct linkages of SMEs to the market
