INDUSTRY SCENARIOS History of the Tractor Uses of Tractors Role of Tractors in Indian Agriculture The Indian Tractor Market
18
INDUSTRY SCENARIOS
The tractor industry in India has developed over the years to become one of the largest tractor markets in the world. From just about 50,000 units in early eighties the size of tractor market in the country has grown up to over 200,000 units. Today industry comprises of 14 players, including 3 MNCs. The opportunities still are huge considering the low farm mechanization levels in the country, when compared to other developed economies across the world. Key concern for the industry is its dependence on agricultural income in hands of farmers and the state of monsoon. The key players are Sonalika, John Deer, Mahindra, New Holland etc.
19
Uses of Tractors
Following are the uses of tractor. 1. In the field of agriculture tractor have on important role to play in rising productivity. 2. Tractor is used in the field of transportation. The fertilizers can be carried to the field & the produce to the market with the help of tractors. It is also for the purpose of transportation goods from one place to another. 3. Through the use of tractor farm practices were revolutionized & agriculture crops were increased per hectare. Mechanized farming becomes possible through the use of tractors. 4. In stone crushers before the blasting of rocks drilling machines are used to drill the rocks with the help of tractors. 5. Not only has animal power been displaced & human effort reduced through the use of tractors.

will so be used in transporting crops to markets. By using tractors, crops can be easily taken.
22
since 1993. When the industry was of around 1.4 lakh tractors in all these years some of the companies had limited production capacities & the customer had to wait for most popular models. These problems were more acute in the season & often aggravated by the Short supply of premium models. However, since October 1996, a distinct change has been observed in the tractor market. All tractors models, including the so called premium products, are readily available in the show room. The main reason for this phenomenon is that all tractor manufacturers have been gradually increasing their production volume in the last few years and presently the total production capacity of all the tractor manufacturers has reached approximately 2.7 lakh units. This will ease the supply position of tractors and in times to come the customer will not have any waiting period for a tractor.
23
Mahindra and Mahindra Limited were incorporated on October 2, 1945 as a private limited company under the Indian Companies Act of 1913 by two brothers, Mr. J.C. Mahindra and Mr. K.C. Mahindra. It was converted into a public limited company on June 15, 1955. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, one of the largest private sector companies in India, is the flagship company of the Mahindra Group. The company commenced Operations in 1945 to manufacture General Purpose Utility Vehicles and later on entered into manufacturing of Tractors and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). Over the years, the company has expanded its operations from automobiles and tractors to steel, trading and manufacturing of Ash Handling Plants & Traveling Water Screens. The company is focused to become a world giant in the tractor business. It has already made its presence felt in countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa and United States of America. Mahindra and Mahindra began operations, with assembly of jeeps imported in semi knocked down (SKD) condition form wills, USA Mahindra and Mahindra started manufacturing jeep in collaboration with wily overland corporation and American motor cooperation (now parts of the Chrysler group) in 1954 and LCVs in 1965.
24
Tractor production started in 1965 in a joint venture company with technical collaboration of international harvester company Chicago, USA. This company was merged with M and M in 1977. M and M is originally a principal supplier to the government for defense and Other departments. M and M has restructured its operations. While the focus is an automotive and tractor divisions most of the other business including IT, Infrastructure and financial services have been hired off into new ventures.

From army vehicles to farm tractors to major automobile manufacturing, Mahindra's relationship with American industry goes back quite a few years. American GI's who served in India during World War II recognize our parent company, Mahindra & Mahindra, which in l945 was selected to assemble the famous Willis Jeep. Following Indian independence in 1947, Mahindra & Mahindra charted a course of product expansion and globalization. The philosophy led to the companys entrance into the worldwide tractor. In 1962, M&M formed a joint venture with International Harvester to make tractors carrying the name Mahindra name-plate for the Indian market. Armed with engineering, tooling and manufacturing know-how gained from this relationship, M&M-a major auto maker- developed its first tractor, the B-275. This successor to International Harvester's incredibly popular B-414 is still the basis for some current Mahindra models.
26
Mahindra & Mahindra began manufacturing tractors in the early 1960s for the Indian market. Nearly 50 years later, Mahindra has become one of the top three tractor companies in the world with annual sales above 150,000 and over 1.6 million tractors sold to date. Mahindra products are making farms more prosperous in more than forty countries on six continents. Following the vision of farm-tech prosperity, it has also expanded into farm-support services, including agri-mechanization solutions under Mahindra AppliTrac; seeds, crop protection, and market linkages and distribution through Mahindra ShubhLabh; and agri-support information and counseling through the Samriddhi Initiative. Through this network of services, it aims to empower the rural farmer and transform rural productivity, income, and living standards. It wants to improve farm lifestyles by making hard work easier, increasing yields, and increasing returns. All Mahindra tractor brands, ranging from the 15 HP engine to 75 HP, have been designed in close communication with farmers about their day-to-day tractor usage and farming practices. Mahindra farm equipment and services provide a comprehensive support system to help farmers prosper. Mahindra see a tremendous latent demand for tractors in India. Less than 10 percent of all farmers own tractors, and 93 million of 116 million farm plots smaller than five acres. Mahindras small, low-cost tractors have the potential to revolutionize these farmers productivity and work experience by mechanizing small farms for the first time, and their larger tractors help farmers continue to grow. Mahindra has been the market leader in India for nearly three decades with a market share above 40 percent. This close relationship to Indian agricultural development has given Mahindra extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing farm equipment in response to local conditions, enabling them to enter foreign markets across the world. Today, Mahindra has footprints in the United States, China, Australia, New Zealand, Africa (Nigeria, Mali, Chad, Gambia, Angola, Sudan, Ghana, Morocco), Latin America (Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Central America and the Caribbean), South Asia (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal), the Middle East (Iran, Syria) and Eastern Europe (Serbia, Turkey, Macedonia). It has a customer base of 1.45 millionand growing.

BRAND

people will succeed if they are just given the opportunity. Employees across the Group constantly challenge conventional thinking to create solutions that make a significant difference in the lives of customers. That is why everything Company buildbe it a tractor, financial service, solar-powered lamp, or softwareis designed to empower you to reach your potential.
37
Accepting No Limits-
Company accept no limits, and ask the same of everyone else. In return, it works relentlessly to provide the tools, information, and inspiration to push past limitations and comfort zones. This challenger spirit galvanized it to meet the oil crisis in the 1970s by reengineering its fuel-efficient tractor engines for utility vehicles. It led the company to take on the challenge of designing the Scorpio utility vehicle at a cost that many industry experts thought was impossibly low. Company has created completely new business models to enter areas others had written off or ignored, like its leading hospitality business and its rural financial services. And company just registered its highest ever profits despite the worst global recession since the Great Depression. This determination influences every aspect of its culture and its employees. As a result, each Mahindra business constantly pushes the envelope and raises the bar as it strive to deliver better value to its customers.
38
Alternative Thinking-
Alternative thinking means solving problems in ways no one has thought of before, by using fewer resources and entering markets
thought to be unreachable. Take the Scorpio for exampleCompany developed its best-in-class utility vehicle from the ground up using a process that put drivers needs first. its Energy Solutions help businesses keep going when everyone elses lights go out. Company builds two wheelers that provide affordable mobility solutions to more people. And its extensive array of innovative IT services are increasing productivity at some of the worlds leading companies. Thinking alternatively isnt always easy, but its always worth it.

The basic idea to promote the Yuvraj 215 in rural market is camping at cattle market and weekly Bazaars identified (Ek Mahindra outlets), because this is one of the best & cheapest way to promote the product. we performed camping at cattle market ,where people get together to buy bullock for faming . the selection of the location was best to promote Yuvraj 215 . when people saw the tractor they got attracted by its small size but it also created a lot of question in their mind.
communication. Here the sales person is getting an immediate feedback from his customer. He is getting the opportunity to clarify his client's doubts or concerns regarding the product.

The reason for low sales of the products was lack of promotional activities due to this
After using promotional tools, I found that the prescription rate of Yuvraj-215 was increased to a considerable extent.
Maximum customers first see the Performance, fuel efficiency & affordable price of the product
Camping is one of the best & cheapest promotional tool to promote the product in rural market.
CONCLUSION
The sample size of my survey was 100. I have tried my best to get the maximum out of survey. After analyzing the result of my questionnaire, I have arrived to the conclusion, which is as follows:
Mahindra & Mahindra has successfully achieved their objective of getting the potential customers of Yuvraj-215 through promotional activities and also to boost the sale.. The promotional activity was helpful to know the customers perception towards Yuvraj-215 by getting information from promotion. Regular use of promotional tools is necessary for giving more exposure to the product in the market. The customers came to know about Mahindra yuvraj-215 & its application and its benefits through promotional activities which seemed to be the key factor to achieve the prospective customers. The company also should try to give live demonstration of Yuvraj-215 for getting more publicity and positive response.
According to Survey, I found that the position of Mahindra tractor is number one in the market. According to the survey, most of the customer has doubt about the working of Yuvraj-215 because of its small size
The company should also provide more incentives to sales person to boost up its sales
