Report on Rmt
BAJAJ AUTO Ltd.
Marketing strategy
•Has relied on line stretching instead of offering products with price steps •Example: Offers the Pulsar 180cc and Pulsar 220 cc at the higher-end of the premium segment and the Pulsar 135cc at the lower end of the premium segment leveraging an established existing brand (i.e. Pulsar 150cc); offers the Discover 150cc at the lower end of the commuter-premium segment stretching the Discover 100cc brand; offers the Platina 100cc in the entry segment and the Platina 125cc in the Executive sement
Dealership
Bajaj Auto has a network of 452 dealers and over 1,300 authorised service centres. In an effort to widen its reach, the company continued with the process of appointing new dealers, especially in the smaller C and D category of towns
Vendors
The process of rationalising the vendor base continued during the year. By aggregating purchases of original equipment (OE) items, the company will end up having an OE vendor base of around 180. This will give vendors larger orders, help reduce average costs and offer better terms to Bajaj Auto.
