21 September, 2011 Nissan on Tuesday scotched rumours that its alliance with Bajaj Auto for developing an ultra low-cost vehicle was on a shaky ground, saying it is still in talks with the Indian auto major for the project.

Speculation had been rife that the Nissan-Renault- Bajaj joint venture was not working well as the two overseas JV partners are unhappy with Bajaj over the pace of project.
Asked about the time of the joint announcement, Normand declined to give any specific date, saying “We will let you know at the right time.”
Meanwhile, Nissan Motor India Managing Director Kiminobu Tokuyama said his company was studying the prospects of launching a small car in the fast-growing Indian market on its own as well.
“We, at Nissan, are committed to offer a good product to any segment... so we are now studying the project of launching a small car... but it is too premature to say when we will launch the car,” Kiminobu said.
The Renault-Nissan alliance signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2008 with Bajaj Auto to develop an ultra low-cost vehicle for India and other emerging markets, and had planned to launch it in 2012.
The design, manufacturing and sourcing was to be done by Bajaj and Renault-Nissan would handle marketing in India and overseas, according to the agreement.
The Renault-Nissan alliance is investing Rs 4,500 crore to set up a plant in Chennai, which will have an annual capacity of four lakh units.

23 June, 2011 Europe’s second largest car maker Renault on Tuesday said its proposed ultra low cost (ULC) car with Bajaj Auto for the Indian market has the least priority till 2012, the year scheduled for its launch.
The Indian two-wheeler maker, who is planning a foray into the passenger car segment with the ULC, has not even shown the prototype of the product yet to its Franco-Japanese alliance Renault-Nissan despite getting requests for the same several times.
“As we have announced earlier, five cars are going to be launched by 2012. They are the priority and there is no ULC in this,” Renault India Managing Director Marc Nassif told reporters.
When asked if the ULC is not a priority for the company’s Indian operations, he said: “We cannot comment anything on the (ULC) project at this time as we have not seen the product... Our focus is the five Renault cars.”
The company, which aims to sell 90,000 to one lakh cars in India by 2013, said it will take a decision on the ULC once the product is available to them for review and it “may be an opportunity for us”, he added. Bajaj Auto, however, has not shown the product yet to its partners despite stating several times earlier that it is on track to launch a commercial vehicle from the same platform.
“We have been asking them to show the prototype many times. But they are saying wait and wait,” Renault Executive Vice President and Leader of Asia Africa Management Katsumi Nakamura said.
Identifying India as one of its three key global markets after Brazil and Russia, Renault said affordable cars will play an important role and products that will be launched here between 2013 and 2015 will be mainly in the mass market.
“The biggest part of the Indian market is below the five products, which we will be launching by 2012. So it is obvious that with our target in mind, other future products will be towards the affordable range,” Renault Executive Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Jerome Stoll said.
Yet, the Renault officials declined to comment on the role that the ULC with Bajaj would play in future. Last month, Nassif had said the company would go ahead with the ULC car only if it is satisfied with the quality of the product.

Bajaj’s Pantnagar facility has hit the 100,000 production mark in a short 30 day cycle. The milestone figure falls in line with the company’s newly devised production strategy which is primarily aimed at cutbacks in production costs/ time.

BAL is said to have confirmed its plans to expand the same facility which is nearing completion after a delay caused by the rather heavy monsoon. Bajaj intends to create a superior production line for all the three brands (Bajaj, KTM and Kawasaki).

Bajaj representatives have revealed that efforts are being made to develop two-wheeler designs that share a common platform. The Pantnagar facility expects to increase its per annum production rate to 600000 units by 2011.

Bajaj Auto is planning a massive dealership attack. The company is looking to tap into the growing bike mart in India full-on. For this Bajaj Auto is looking to set-up 130 new dealerships along with state of the art upgrades to 1100 service centers. The company plans to do this by next festive season and it said that an investment of Rs 18 crore is required to just upgrade the 1100 service centers.

Bajaj Auto said it plans massive distribution network expansion to meet robust growth targets, adding 130 new dealerships and upgrading 1,100 service centres by next festive season.

The new dealers, largely in small towns, would take the total number to more than 600 dealerships across India, the company said.

According to S Sridhar, President – Motorcycle Business, Bajaj Auto, the company is well placed in terms of distribution as far as Pulsar – a premium brand, with an urban focus – is concerned.

“On the other hand ‘Discover’ which is a mass commuter has huge potential in smaller towns. While Discover’s growth in terms of volumes and market share has been outstanding, the next big boost will come from increasing the share in these towns and in rural India which accounts for more than 50 per cent sales of this category”, he said.

“These new dealerships will help the company to increase the share in this model in smaller towns which are today inadequately catered to by only the secondary network,” Sridhar said.
