BMW to drive in iconic compact car Mini Cooper into India soon - Economic Times

NEW DELHI: BMW India will soon start assembling the new generation of its iconic compact car Mini at its Chennai plant, a move which will help it offer its latest products to Indian customers and garner some incremental numbers in the fiercely competitive luxury car market.

The new Mini Cooper will be slightly larger than the current outgoing model, and also lighter and more economical on the fuel front with 27% lower consumption compared with current models sold in the domestic market.

"We are planning to bring the all-new MINI to the Indian market soon," said Philipp von Sahr, President of Indian operations at Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (BMW). "We have sold over 300 units of MINI last year and are looking at some impressive sales in the second year."

Triumph enters India a year late, with 10 bikes starting at Rs. 5.7 lakh



Iconic UK based bike maker Triumph entered India on Thursday with a 10-product line-up — more than a year late compared to its original plans.


The company’s line-up covers various categories like Classics, Roadsters, Supersports and Cruisers, with the entry level Classic Bonneville priced at Rs. 5.7 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and the top-of-the-line cruiser Rocket III, the largest production bike in the world, at Rs. 20 lakh.

Triumph had showcased its range at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, with plans to start operations in October. But that got derailed with the exit of its India head, Ashish Joshi, in May.

“India is an exceptionally exciting market for us and the premium motorcycle segment in the country is seeing tremendous growth,” said Paul Stroud, director, sales and marketing (global), Triumph Motorcycles.

“We are not late. This is the right time to establish our foothold here.”

The company will assemble the Bonneville, Daytona 675R, Street Triple, Speed Triple and Thruxton at its facility in Manesar, while the Rocket III, Tiger Explorer, Tiger 800 XC and Thunderbird Storm will be imported fully built.


It is hoping to sell 400-500 bikes in the next 6 months followed by 1,000 units in its first full year of operations and over 1,500 units in the subsequent year. Its arch rival Harley Davidson has sold 4,000 bikes in its four-year existence in India so far.

Triumph is also developing a 250cc bike for emerging Asian markets for which India could be the first production base.

The company has also set up a factory in Bangalore, and is expected to give tough competition to early birds Harley Davidson.

India is the lynchpin in Renault’s Asia-Pacific strategy


When Renault recently announced its plans to enter Indonesia, what was perhaps left unsaid was the critical role of India in this endeavour.
Completely knocked down kits of the Duster have already been shipped out from the Chennai plant in what could be the first phase of a bigger strategy for the Asia-Pacific region.

The French automaker has already created a manufacturing powerhouse in India along with global ally Nissan. Over 4 lakh vehicles will roll out from Chennai.

The Duster is one of these models and is already doing roaring business here, quickly establishing itself as a formidable player in the SUV space. From Renault’s point of view, there is really no reason why this success cannot be replicated in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is India that has the core strengths in a robust auto ancillary base — it offers the best mix of high quality at competitive costs. It is this edge that prompted Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn to coin his famous term, ‘frugal engineering’.

CEREBRAL TALENT

The cerebral talent in India was good enough for the company to establish a strong R&D base which is involved in a host of important projects.

Indian auto suppliers, like wise, work with some of the biggest vehicle manufacturers across the world and their focus on costs/quality is what enabled Renault to price the Duster competitively.

This strength will now be leveraged to service the Asia-Pacific region, with Indonesia as the starting point.

Unlike India, the country does not have a mature supplier base, which means assembling imported parts becomes the easier option.

From Renault’s point of view, the Duster could then find its way from Indonesia to other countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Costs will not be an issue since these countries are part of AFTA (ASEAN Free Trade Area), where there are no import tariffs.

The business model could, therefore, see India become the hub for export of critical components while the final vehicle (Duster in this case) will be shipped out to other parts of ASEAN.

Will China also figure in this business model for Renault? Unlikely, considering the country has moved on rapidly ahead with its customers seeking top-end expensive models. India, in sharp contrast, is still a compact car market which is now also seeing demand for (compact) SUVs like the Duster.

CRITICAL FACTOR

Yet, price remains the most critical factor and this is where suppliers have to pull out all stops to help automakers out with their costing structure.

The Duster’s monthly sales touched peak levels of over 6,000 units earlier this year till Renault, like other manufacturers, got swamped in the worst auto industry slowdown in recent times.

Yet, even when things got particularly difficult in the July-September quarter, the French automaker’s global business model came in handy with more Duster shipments from India to the UK.

It helped balance the setback though Renault is confident that things will look up in the coming months here.

This move into Indonesia is an incredibly smart one on part of Renault. Indonesia is a particularly good market for a low-priced quasi-SUV like the Duster.

Lets not forget that many years ago; Toyota tapped into that market in Indonesia with its Kijang, which later came to India as the Qualis. The success of the Kijang there in Indonesia; motivated GM to introduce the Isuzu Panther there, which came later to India as the Chevrolet Tavera.
There are some incredible similarities in the mass-market segments in India and Indonesia.
