Why GM Failed In India
CNBC:
Over the last 20 years, the
Indian automotive market has grown from
about 500,000 new passenger cars,
hatchbacks, sedans and utilities to
about 3.5
million in 2018.
The market has an expected compound annual
growth rate of about 5 to
6 percent over the next 10 years.
But, some automakers have struggled
to make it work.
Among them is General
Motors, the largest U.S.
car company. GM stopped selling cars in
India in 2017 after years of
declining market share.
It's a striking move for GM, which
in recent years has also closed
shop in other regions around the
world, as leadership focuses on
maximizing profits and making investments
in new technologies such as
electric power trains
and mobility services.
With a population of more than
1 billion people, India is becoming
one of the world's
largest automotive markets.
The country is poised to surpass
Japan as the world's third biggest
new car market in 2021.
So while there is ample
opportunity for automakers, the Indian
landscape has been particularly difficult
to navigate, especially for
American firms. GM watched its share
of the Indian market erode
steadily over several years, bottoming out
at about one percent in
2016 just before the
automaker pulled out.
So if the Indian market is
growing, why did GM struggle, especially
when GM has been
so successful in China?
To be fair, quite a few automakers
tend to have difficulty in the
Indian market. First of all, India
is a massive country with a
diverse population of roughly 1.3
billion people.
India, I think, we are
definitely a complex market.
The income levels
are quite heterogeneous.
We are divided, actually into
urban India and rural India.
The consumer requirements are actually
different even the needs are
different in both these markets.
There are a few criteria a
mass market automaker ought to meet.
They are fuel efficiency, resale
value, proximity of service stations
and the affordability of parts
and low servicing costs.
I think first thing is price.
We are a country with a
very low per capita income.
Indians are very price sensitive.
But price is not the only factor.
So now the customer also needs
some more value, for example, with
styling elements. And then, I think,
the consumer also wants a global
brand. They want a
brand which is aspirational.
The consumer wants an overall combination of
all P's, you know it may
be product, it may be
price, it may be positioning.
Which makes the things
quite complicated for OEMs.
These might seem pretty attainable,
but many automakers have
struggled to meet these
in the country.
There are a couple of companies who
have managed to crack that code
and there are several more with shares
of the market ranging in size
from small to smaller.
By far, the most successful automaker
in India is the Japanese firm
Suzuki, which alone owns
half the Indian market.
Suzuki has enjoyed something of
a first mover advantage.
It was the first major automaker to
enter India, and it did so
through a joint venture
with Indian manufacturer Maruti.
Suzuki also specializes in highly
fuel efficient vehicles, which are
extremely important in
the Indian market.
After Suzuki, Korean maker Hyundai is
the second largest with 16
percent of the Indian market.
After that, Indian, Japanese and Korean
makers such as Honda, Tata,
Kia and Mahindra all more or less
have equal degrees of market share.
Kia in particular, is a relatively
late coming brand that has been
able to succeed in India.
I think an excellent example is
Kia Motors which recently entered, it
was a new brand and
they gave a great proposition.
They were in an SUV segment and
I think suddenly right from the month
one, we saw a great success
for this OEM, in India.
Then the remaining 10 percent of the
market is made up of others such
as Ford, Renault, BMW and Nissan.
Early on, GM entered the India market
with its Opel brand, a mass
market brand GM had
owned in Europe.
While Opel cars tended to be
affordable, they failed to resonate with
Indian buyers.
I think later on they realized that's
not a brand which is really
going to work well in India because
that was not a value proposition
which they were offering
to their customers.
But then GM introduced its Chevrolet
brand to the country, which
brought it more success.
It was a great success.
They launched a few great
products like Chevrolet Cruze Chevrolet
Beat. They had that start which
they were really looking forward.
Despite these efforts, the automaker had
trouble taking share in the
Indian market. It was the first
automaker to introduce a diesel fuel
powered car of its size.
At the time, the Chevrolet beat
was the smallest diesel powered car
customers could buy in India.
It was a strong proposition and
benefited from a government subsidy
on diesel engines.
But in the end, the
diesel Beat had few takers.
The company may also have made a
misstep by trying to introduce a
low-cost vehicle GM manufactured with
its Chinese partner SAIC called
the Chevrolet Sail.
Their plan got derailed with the
introduction of Sail because I think
they underestimated the consumer aspiration
and then, I think, the
decline started. GM also fell victim
to a kind of self-reinforcing
cycle. One challenge it struggled with
was the lack of an adequate
dealer and servicing network.
More premium brands such as Mercedes
and BMW often attract customers
with the means to travel
further for service and sales.
But, mass market brands such as
GM's Chevrolet are targeting middle
class buyers who value convenience.
Dealerships in India often sell a
single brand so GM's low sales
volumes meant a single dealer might sell
only a handful of cars in a
month and risk taking losses on
the costs of running the business.
In the end, such low market share
made it difficult for GM to justify
maintaining a presence
in the country.
The automaker officially stopped selling
cars in India on December
31, 2017.
GM told CNBC it explored many
options for its India business, but
ultimately withdrew after it
determined the increased investment
originally planned for the country would
not deliver the returns of
other global opportunities.
It continues to operate services
for existing Chevrolet customers in
the country. In September, the
automaker entered a long-term
partnership with Tata Consultancy Services,
which will do engineering
design for GM vehicles meant
for markets around the world.
The move out of India was part
of a larger pullback GM has been
making around the world as
it restructures its business.
We're seeing other automakers follow
suit as they're pruning.
They're pruning the dead branches and
focusing on where they can be
strong. For GM, this is a huge shift
because GM of old used to be all
things to everyone everywhere.
And, it has now decided that
is not the proper strategy.
The automaker told CNBC if it doesn't
see a clear path to leadership
and long term sustained profits in
a particular market, it will look
at opportunities to focus its resources
on areas that will lead to
the greatest results. It added that this
is the same approach it has
taken elsewhere.
The automaker also sold its
European operations to French carmaker
PSA in 2017.
At the time it pulled out of India
GM had two factories there, one in
the Gujarati city of Halol
and another in Talegaon.
The Halol plant was acquired by
MG Motor, the once famed British
brand now owned by Chinese
automaker SAIC Motor Corporation.
GM has a joint venture with
SAIC to produce cars in China.
Reports surfaced in November 2019 that
SAIC is also in talks to
acquire GM's Talegaon plant, along
with fellow Chinese automaker
Great Wall. GM told CNBC it
is exploring strategic options for the
plant. The move out of India was
a retreat for GM and for American
auto industry. Ford is starting
to do the same.
It's trimming some
of its offerings.
Global economy and global auto
market is slowing some.
Certainly true here in the
US, it's true in China.
There's just not enough money to
go around to every single market,
too every single vehicle line.
Look at Daimler and BMW,
they've announced major employee cuts.
But in some ways it might
have been a shrewd move.
The other thing that is happening
in the market that has never
happened before is we are on the
verge of massive disruption of the
industry. You know, we're going to
have a future of electric
vehicles, autonomous vehicles and new
ways to acquire personal
transportation and now
mobility service.
There's all kinds of things.
Nobody knows when that's going to happen
or how it's going to happen,
but it's requiring a
lot of investment.
Companies like GM just can't keep putting
a ton of money into the
future as well as a ton
of money in today's stuff.
While analysts do expect the
Indian automotive market to continue
growing in the foreseeable future, it
did hit a slump in 2019.
Maruti Suzuki sales were growing
until February 2019, but have
slipped every month, year
over year, until October.
Suzuki said in November that the slowing
Indian market was one of the
factors behind the company's falling overall
sales and net income in
its second fiscal quarter.
So I think right now the
market is going through turmoil.
Our economy is struggling and if
we only talk about the automotive
market we are talking about a decline
of minus 14 percent in 2019
calendar year light vehicles.
So obviously this year is the
kind of degrowth happening, which has
not happened in last
two decades, in India.
2020, we are just talking about a
kind of a flat growth but then
going forward, in 2021, '22, '23,
the assumption that our economy
should be back, you know, the
GDP growth rate will start growing
above seven percent. Indian
automotive analysts note the country's
auto industry has to contend
with the relatively recent rise of
mobility services such as ride
hailing. The potential of these
competing technologies is still
unknown, but could affect how
interested in car ownership Indians
remain in the future.
In the end, GM did make some of
the right choices when trying to go
into India. GM was right in
terms of localizing their products
typically for the Indian market, making
it, in line with the taxation
because they were able to save tax.
But, at the end of their day, were
really not able to match with what
the competitors were offering.
If the Indian economy picks back up,
GM may find itself trying to
profitably re-enter the country.
GM's rival Ford, which has been in
India since 1995, said in October
2019 it will create a new
joint venture with Indian manufacturer
Mahindra, which Ford said will help
it develop new products faster
and drive profitable growth.
Upcoming Chevrolet Cars in India
a2ztube List:
Chevrolet Sail U-Va 1.3 LT ABS diesel video review by CarToq.com
CarToqVideos:
>>The Chevrolet Sail U-Va is not a car that
is outright attractive. Sure, the front looks
quite contemporary with its hawk wing headlamps
and trademark Chevy grille. In profile, however,
the car looks a little boxy, but frees up
lot of space. The rear is a sliced off affair,
with tall tail-lamps, but not really outright
attractive.
The space on the inside though is the highlight
of this car. There is ample passenger space
available in the front and rear seats. Luggage
capacity is a useable 248 litres and the seats
can be split folded to free up plenty more
space when needed. And there's a tiny bit
of under-seat storage too. Plastic quality
though could be better.
The Chevrolet Sail U-Va diesel is powered
by a 1.3 litre four-cylinder diesel engine,
which is GM's version of the Fiat multijet
diesel. It puts out 77 bhp of power and 205
newton metres of torque, which is a bit more
than its competitors like the Maruti Swift.
The five-speed manual transmission is smooth
and easy to use, although the clutch is a
bit heavy. They hydraulic power steering is
fairly light, but the horn buttons at the
sides take a little getting used to.
PTC -- Shreyans Jain and Roshun Povaiah
Ride and handling is fairly good on the Chevrolet
Sail U-Va. It's not sporty or really fun-to-drive,
but it has very good ride quality. CarToq
expert Shreyans Jain had been driving the
car around for a bit and here's his take on
its ride
and handling:
The Chevrolet Sail U-Va comes with all the
convenience features you would expect. It
has power adjustable mirrors, integrated music
system with Bluetooth phone connectivity,
manual air-conditioning, dual front airbags
and ABS-equipped brakes. The placement of
the power window switches takes some getting
used to. The highlight though
is the
rear seat comfort.
Overall fuel efficiency of the Sail U-Va was
close to 15.6 kmpl in our mixed driving conditions.
The car drives well and pick up is linear
with not much turbo lag. It gets to 100 kmph
fairly easily, but is not really a performance
car.
The Chevrolet Sail U-Va is quite an under-rated
car. It has good space, is immensely practical,
is fairly easy to drive and has good fuel
economy. It's one of the most value-for-money
premium hatchbacks that will appeal to buyers
looking for a fuel-efficient, spacious family
car with a decent feature list.

the same but this comes in an all new avatar
and it will be the new face, new focus for
Chevrolet in India.
Now what we have behind

this is a new entry to the already overpopulated
sub-4 metre compact sedan segment.

The legendary Jeep brand from
Fiat Chrylser stable was introduced to India
at the 2016 Auto Expo in New Delhi. With a

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. The Grand Cherokee
SRT will have a 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine producing
461bhp and 624Nm of torque mated to an 8-speed
paddle shift automatic transmission. Now as
you can see there's a massive crowd which
has gathered behind me and the reason is very
simple. We've made our way to the Nissan booth
and what you have, that red monstrosity behind
me is the Nissan GT-R which is gonna make
it's way to Indian roads this year in 2016
and here is a glimpse of what it has to offer.

system with low pressure EGR adaptability
for improved NVH and better fuel efficiency.
With 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds. Multiple
modes for driving and suspension have been
provided along with future communication and
connectivity technologies.
Now it seems to
be that compact SUVs are the flavour of the
season and Honda has just unveiled the new
BR-V. So let's go inside and check it out.
Now what you see behind me is the new Honda
BR-V and this is gonna be competing with the
likes of the Hyundai Creta, the Ford Ecosport
and the Renault Duster, which also has received
a facelift. As you can see a lot of the design
elements and lot of the design aspects resemble
Honda cars which have been previously launched
like the Honda Jazz and the Honda City. Even
on the interior front you can see a lot of
resemblance to the vehicles. the fit and finish
is fantastic, the vehicle looks premium. It
has a very edgy and stylish design and it's
gonna be definitely a game changer for Honda
in the compact SUV segment.
Maruti Suzuki has made a very strong statement with the launch of the new Vitara Brezza. Now this
is their answer to the war-call of the sub-compact
SUV segment. So let's go inside and take a
look at what exactly defines the new Vitara Brezza.
The Market leader, Maruti Suzuki, premiered the Vitara Brezza.
It has a 1.3L 200 DDiS engine mated with a
five-speed manual transmission. It gives out
a power of 88bhp at 4000 rpm and a torque
of 200 Nm at 1750 rpm. The interior of the
car is bold, impressive and contemporary.
On offer are theme based options- Glamour,
Urban, Sporty - that match the personality
of the customer. Now it seems to be raining
compact SUVs at the Auto Expo 2016 and we
have behind me another contender, the SsangYong
Tivoli. Now this Tivoli as you can see is
a compact SUV which has got a very premium
appeal to it. You can see alloy wheels, you
can see DRLs with LEDs and projector headlights
as well and you have a lot of up-market and
a lot of up-scale features in this SsangYong Tivoli.
It is a 5-seater from SsangYong and you can expect it to be launched soon this year in the Indian market.
Making bold moves
in the industry is TATA Motors and we have
besides me the new Hexa. Now along with the
Hexa, TATA has unveiled a couple of new products.
They have unveiled the Kite 5, they have unveiled
the Zica and the Nexon concept. Now this vehicle,
as you can see has very bold and aggressive
lines. You get projector headlights, you get
DRLs. It comes with a 2.2 litre VARICOR engine
and comes with a 6-speed manual transmission.
So let's take a closer look at what this vehicle
has to offer. Let's hop inside and see how
the TATA Hexa is on the inside. Now on the
inside the Hexa has a very premium feel. It
has good fit and finish as you can see, you
have a leather wrapped steering, you have
a high gloss finish on the interiors and the
dashboard. The vehicle feels very premium.
The fit and finish feels very good. It gives
you a really good feeling about yourself when
you are sitting inside this vehicle. The engine
makes a 154bhp and as you can see with the
crowd that has gathered around, there are
a lot of people here visiting the TATA booth
to see the new Hexa, to see the vehicle and
out of all vehicles that are displayed, this
one is getting the most attraction in the
Auto Expo 2016 for TATA Motors.
Now we are here at the Isuzu booth at Auto Expo 2016
and what you see behind me is a mammoth SUV.
Now this is no ordinary SUV. This is a 4X4
Isuzu D-Max V-Cross pick-up and it is the
biggest in the segment.
Now this SUV comes with a 2.5 litre engine which produces a 134hp
and as you can see the fit and finish inside
this vehicle is fantastic. You have steering
mounted controls, fully automatic climate
conditioning and you also have on-the-fly
shift 4 wheel drive, 2 wheel drive with a
4 wheel drive low option as well. It also
has a 5 speed manual transmission and can
seat 5 people. This is the first time that
Isuzu is bringing in this vehicle to India
and it has been solely manufactured to be
a 4X4 SUV pick-up vehicle and there is nothing
available in the market which is of this size.
Now we finally made our way to the Mercedes
booth at the Auto Expo 2016 and what you see
besides me is the Mercedes S Cabriolet. Mercedes
has unveiled this vehicle along with the GLC
at the Auto Expo 2016. Now this vehicle comes
with a 4.6 litre petrol V8 engine. The roof
folds down in 17 seconds and you can put it
up or put it down at the speed of, total speed
of 40 kmph.
The Hyundai Tucson is the latest to join the Hyundai's SUV line-up in India.
It looks bold and stylish. The interiors also
give you a feel of premium-ness.
Fiat unveiled the Urban Cross at the Auto expo 2016. It is to be powered by a 1.4-litre T-Jet petrol
engine, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox
and producing 138bhp and 210Nm of torque.
The looks of the Urban cross surely looked
tempting.
We fought our way through the crowd
and we finally made it to the Toyota booth
and what we have behind me is the Toyota Innova
in all it's glory. Now this new avatar of
the Innova comes with a brand new 2.8 litre
engine and an all new 6-speed transmission,
which is an automatic transmission. So let's
get inside and have a look at what the new
Innova is all about. Now as you can see in
the video, this Toyota booth is filled chock-a-block
and the reason being the brand new Innova.
This is not just an ordinary MPV, ladies and
gentlemen it is a very premium MPV which is
gonna be offered by Toyota in the market.
As you can see the fit and finish of this
vehicle is fantastic. You have a leather wrapped
steering wheel, you have steering mounted
controls, a 7 inch infotainment system, a
6-speed automatic transmission. This car also
comes with ABS, EBD and airbags, two airbags
as standard. You also get cruise control on
this vehicle. The cabin is very premium, very
plush and gives you a feeling that you're
sitting inside a luxury vehicle. Unlike the
previous Innova, which aslo had a good fit
and finish, the premium-ness and appeal of
this vehicle has just bumped up to a brand new level.
The new Nissan X-Trail Hybrid will
come to India as the market's first ever full
hybrid SUV, and brings Nissan's latest hybrid
vehicle technology to India for the first
time.The car comes equipped with the 2.0-litre
MR20 DD petrol engine twinned with an advanced
31kw electric motor that enables both driving
and environmental performance.
Now we had to fight our way through but we finally made it to the Audi booth and there a lot of show
stoppers around but the one that really steals
the show is the Audi R8 V10 LMS. Now this
vehicle has a top speed of 330 kmph and goes
from 0 to 100 in 3.52 seconds. Now also another
thing I wanted to share with you is that this
vehicle has been priced at 2.47 crore ex-showroom
Delhi and Mumbai. So it's definitely a force
to reckon within the Indian market and also
has a lot of fancy features.
Now we are at the Jaguar Land Rover booth and as you can
see behind me, there is a lot of crowd, a
lot of anticipation for this new product that
is the XE. Jaguar Land Rover has just launched
this product for the Indian market with an
ex showroom Delhi price of 39.9 lakhs, that's
39.9 lakhs. This is a very bold move by Jaguar
and this vehicle comes with a 2 litre petrol
mill which produces a 147 kw of power, goes
from 0-100 in 7.7 seconds and has a top speed
of 237 kmph. So we're gonna take you closer

2016 Ford Mustang : First Impressions : PowerDrift
PowerDrift:
Hello guys my name is Glen,i'm gonna talk about my self a little bit later,
because i have a lot more important things to talk about today.
we're in Delhi where Ford is about to launch the Legendary ''MUSTANG''
ladies and gentelman, i'm really excited to consend to you at long last
that the iconic ford mustang is coming to India.

to give you an ide of how long this car is, it's almost as long,or if not a little bit longer then the ford Endeavour

New Apple Maps Features That Beat Google Maps!
Andru Edwards:
Maruti Suzuki Ignis Concept : First Look : PowerDrift
PowerDrift:
Well! Hello there people, welcome to PowerDrift and coming trough a sea of people as i'm talking to rite now,
the reason you see so many people around me is that i'm at the Maruti stall at the auto expo 2016,
all these people with me to witness the launch of the 2 new cars Maruti just unveiled,
The igins concept and the Baleno RS
Well i'll try and reach the stage very quickly,get a closer gimps of the car,but till then lets talk about the car's.
The production model of this concept,Ignis and Baleno RS,will be launched in India in the festive season,
this year.
Both cars are finally gonna see production,but today we're gonna be talking in this video only about the Ignis.
The ignis was launched in Japan last month and it's gonna come to India of cours and it's gonna have some change's,
they're saying they'll do some specific change's to make it more friendly for our condition's,
Now Maruti is not commenting on which Indian the Ignis is gonna be released with,
But if you gotta make a guess,it will probably be the 1.2 liter K series engine or maybe a 1 liter K series engine,
because it's a small car.Well it get's projector headlamps upfront,blacked out A&Z pillars,
Big tyres,chunky wheel arches,but it definately looks stylish with the DRL's,people will start recognising
the car only by the DRL's
Now Maruti is not even declaring what price it's gonna be,but it's gonna be the smallest car on the next of change of series,
as compared as today it's gonna be placed under the Baleno,come Diwali we'll get to know
probably much before that also.
Alright! so I've finally got to the car and it took me so long that I've forgotten what all i spoken about the car,
In here it's very very pleasant,it's styling that you don't see Maruti everyday,
now i don't know how much of it will reach our country, but on first look here,
you've got paddle shifters, automatic transmission, the futurestic AC buttons,a 5inch touch screen unit
flatish dashboard, nicely contoured seats, got some soft leather inserts in it, space dose'nt look to be to good on the inside,
On the back,
but in here there is decent enough for a small car,there's some chrome garnish here,
I personally don't think that the car is going to come to India with an automatic transmission,
almost certain that it will not have these paddle shifter's,beautiful looking staring wheel,
But then still if you look at the car from the outside,i think it is nicely styled,it is different,
it is pleasant,i so hope they don't cut out on too many things when they get the car to india
They'll have to keep prices in check,but being a next sub product,it might have some of this swank coming to our country,
we'll have to wait and watch,i'll take your leave here before they push me off the stage,
good bye,take care! and keep watching PowerDrift.
