Abstract:

The case examines the advertising strategies of Maruti Suzuki India Limited (Maruti), a subsidiary of Japan based automobile major Suzuki Motors. Maruti, India's leading passenger car manufacturer was founded in 1981. The liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991 resulted in the entry of several foreign automobile companies in the Indian passenger car market beginning from the mid 1990s. To prevent the continuous decline of its market share, Maruti started a restructuring exercise in the year 2001.

As part of the restructuring exercise, Maruti also laid emphasis on its advertising strategy to help maintain its position as a market leader.
