when we actually start running the plant!”

investment than public sector investment.
It has relatively peaceful Industrial relations climate.
Relatively untouched by projects over acquisition of farmland for industry.

36. COST CUTTING FEATURES
 The trunk is only accessible from inside the car as the rear hatch
doesn’t open
 One wide wiper instead of usual pair.
 No power steering, radio or music can be fitted as accessories. No
air bags In any model
 624cc two engine cylinder. No air conditioning.
 To ease the assembly, body panels are glued instead of welded.

38. Collaboration as a source of innovation….
 TATA MOTORS considered COLLABORATION as the source of
innovation from different company’s idea to reduce cost.
 TATA divided the components into two types – proprietary design
and Tata motors design.
 For proprietary design components Tata went with established
suppliers such as BOSCHGROUP.
 BOSCH GROUP, which supplies the engine management systems.

39. BOSCH GROUP
 Bosch group decided to take the challenge to be a part in cheapest car
though they (Bosch) developed systems only for high end vehicles.
 Bosch again split the development between its design centers Bangalore and
Germany
 Using local design capabilities was a crucial decision and employment took
place at higher wage levels.
 Bosch developed a software consists of electronic control unit, fuel injectors,
sensors, ignition oil, tank vent level and throttle body assembly.
 Cost effective “drum brakes” were used.

40. SUPPLIERS
 There were more than 100 suppliers.
 The brief to suppliers was: “Make things smaller and lighter, do away with
superficial parts, and change the material wherever possible”
 A few did their own way and few developed with the Tata motors.
 Arvind Kapoor, CEO of Rico, supplier of blocks to the engine, decided to use
aluminum for engine instead of traditional cast iron as it was smaller, lighter and
cost was less.
 Price negotiations from Tata motors side apparently started from 50 % of what
suppliers offered.

41. • Though the one lakh price tag is not fixed by TATA group, it was the
word of mouth of people which fixed that range. This expectation of
people creates a big challenge for the company. To accept this
challenge the following strategies are followed:-
•
•
•
Target costing method
Penetration pricing
Low pricing policy with minimum profit margin.

42. Promotion
* Enough use of one of the most important element of
promotion mix , publicity reduces the necessity of other
promotional devices for nano. Nano got publicity in
following ways:-
the

o
o
o
* Publicity as “One lakh car” by mouth to mouth.
* Auto expo 2008,New Delhi & Geneva
* Publicity through print & electronic media.
* Internet will be a major media for advertising.

43. * For other type of promotional activities ,cost factor that is
1 lakh price tag is to be keep in mind, TATA is going to
launch its nano mobile for indicom user, nano watches ,
nano T-shirts available in Westside stores .
*Advertising:- TV & other mass media will be less
effective, thus too much money will not be invested in this
regard . Mainly word of mouth advertising will get more
emphasis

48. Post Purchase Service
-As Tata is going to provide this car with rupees one lakh
only, so it may not give the same service like it’s other
vehicles.
-But it’s post purchase services will be better than a costlier
bike.
-Customers may get minimum three services from Tata in
any of it’s servicing center, all over the country.
