1) Leaders- Both industries are lead by these JV's i.e. Joint Ventures of Hero Honda and Maruti Suzuki.
2)Rivals- Both leaders have desi rivals against them and they both are far behind because of quality issues.Hero Honda's rival is Bajaj, Maruti Suzuki's rival is Tata.
3)Rivals 2- They both have another desi rival which is ahead of them in another segment. (I think) Hero Honda's desi rival is TVS which leads scooty segment and Maruti Suzuki's desi rival is Mahindra & Mahindra which leads SUV segment by scorpio.

Bajaj is surviving by pulsar 150,180,200 and 220 and recently launched xcd 135 which bajaj says is inspired by pulsar. Tata is surviving by Indica, Xeta, Indigo, Marina, CS, and the recently launched Indica Vista.

Apart from this, they both have major differences-
New Launches- Hero Honda is somewhat or very lazy in launching new models, this company believes in upgrading its existing models but Maruti Suzuki constantly launches super cool new models.
Value for money- Maruti Suzuki provides value for money for its cars, whereas Hero Honda makes a fool out of people by selling small 100cc bikes for a whooping 45-47,000 Rs. More to come...
