EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the recent past, the bank interest rates have been increased steadily. But the rate of Inflation has also been increased. There is no big difference between the interest rate and Inflation rate. Because of inflation, value of money has been decreased and cost of living has been increased. This has created panic among lower, middle and upper middle class families who considered keeping their savings in banks as safe as well as remunerative. So, the invertors are searching for proper investment avenues. Here, an attempt is made to predict the future movement of scrips. This study helps the investors to invest in shares. India has registered a growth rate of 8.6 percent in FY 2007-08 and is expected to grow at the rate of 10% plus in this fiscal year, and is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It is one of the major attractions for FIs and FIIs. FIIs invest in India through secondary Markets. There is a great scope for India for becoming member of G-8 nations committee. The stock exchange comes in the secondary market. Stock exchange performs activities such as trading in share, securities, bonds, mutual fund & commodities. Stock Broking industry is growing at an enormous rate, as more and more people are attracted towards stock exchanges with the hope of making profits. But during this period the country also registered a fairly high industrial growth. The old industries and business establishments who wanted to expand the activities as well as the new industries and the business establishments floated shares in the market to raise capital for their activities. The companies, which registered steady growth, earned confidence of the people and their shares, were rated high in the market. This project report helps the reader to understand the techniques of investing in the stock market particularly in the secondary market. Some of the proven techniques have been used in this report to help the reader or investor.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Fundamental Analysis is the study of everything from the overall economy and industry conditions, to the financial condition and management of specific companies (i.e., using real data to evaluate a stocks value). Technical analysis is the examination of past price movements to forecast future price movements. Technical analysts are sometimes referred to as chartists because they rely almost exclusively on charts for their analysis. Objectives of the study: To know the future movement of selected companies shares through fundamental and technical analysis. o To predict the future price of the selected companies shares. o To study the strategies to be adopted by the retail investors based on the technical and fundamental analysis. o To know the floor and cap price of the stock. o To analyze individual company scrips by considering the factors relating to the economy, industry and the respective company. o To predict investor positions (Buy, sell & hold) based on historical price trends and the likely company prospects.

INDIAN STOCK MARKET


OVERVIEW OF EQUITY MARKET IN INDIA BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) Introduction: For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in India, 128 years of experience seems to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875 when 318 persons became members of what today is called "The Stock Exchange, Mumbai" by paying a princely amount of Re1.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Since then, the country's capital markets have passed through both good and bad periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties, there was no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index that subsequently became the barometer of the Indian stock market. SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media. The Index was initially calculated based on the "Full Market Capitalization" methodology but was shifted to the free-float methodology with effect from September 1, 2003. The "Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology of index construction is regarded as an industry best practice globally. All major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use the Free-float methodology. Due to its wide acceptance amongst the Indian investors, SENSEX is regarded to be the pulse of the Indian stock market. As the oldest index in the country, it provides the time series data over a fairly long period of time (From 1979 onwards). Small wonder, the SENSEX has over the years become one of the most prominent brands in the country. The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear runs. The SENSEX captured all these events in the most judicial manner. One can identify the booms and busts of the Indian stock market through sensex. NSE (NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE) The Organization: The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs)

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

to provide access to investors from all across the country on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in November 1992 as a taxpaying company unlike other stock exchanges in the country. On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994 and operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000. NIFTY: The Nifty is relatively a new comer in the Indian market. S&P CNX Nifty is a 50 stock index accounting for 23 sectors of the economy. It is used for purposes such as benchmarking fund portfolios; index based derivatives and index funds. The base period selected for Nifty is the close of prices on November 3, 1995, which marked the completion of one-year of operations of NSE's capital market segment. The base value of index was set at 1000. S&P CNX Nifty is owned and managed by India Index Services and Products Ltd. (IISL), which is a joint venture between NSE and CRISIL. IISL is a specialized company focused upon the index as a core product. IISL have a consulting and licensing agreement with Standard & Poor's (S&P), who are world leaders in index services.

FII in Indian stock market


As part of its initiative to liberalize its financial markets, India opened her doors to foreign institutional investors in September, 1992. This event represents a landmark event since it resulted in effectively globalizing its financial services industry.

What does India Need - FDI or FII


FDI usually is associated with export growth. It comes only when all the criteria to set up an export industry are met. That includes, reduced taxes, favorable labor law, freedom to move money in and out of country, government assistance to acquire land, full grown infrastructure, reduced bureaucratic involvement etc. IT, BPO, Auto Parts, Pharmaceuticals, unexplored service sectors including accounting; drug testing, medical care etc are key sectors for foreign investment. Manufacturing is a brick and mortar investment. It is permanent and stays in the country for a very long time. Huge investments are needed to set this industry. It provides employment potential to semi skilled and skilled labor. On the other hand the service sector requires fewer but highly skilled workers. Both are needed in India. Conventional wisdom is that China will have an upper hand in manufacturing for a long time. If India plays its cards right India may be the hub for the service sector. Still high end manufacturing in auto parts and pharmaceuticals should be Indias target. The FII (Foreign Institutional Investor) is monies, which chases the stocks in the market place. It is not exactly brick and mortar money, but in the long run it may translate into brick and mortar. Sudden influx of this drives the stock market up as too much money chases too little stock. In last four months an influx of about $1.5 Billion has driven the Indian stock market 20% higher. Where FDI is a bit of a permanent nature, the FII flies away at the shortest political or economical disturbance. The late nineties economic disaster of Asian Tigers is a key example of the latter. Once this money leaves, it leaves ruined economy and ruined lives behind. Hence FII is to be welcomed with strict political and economical discipline.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

China receives mainly the FDI. They do not have instruments to receive the FII i.e. laws, institutions and political and judicial framework. On the contrary, India should welcome both and work hard to retain both.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC


FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:

Fundamental analysis
The basic purpose of buying a security is to earn dividends and ultimately sell it at higher price. An investor therefore is interested in obtaining estimates of future prices of the share. These in turn will depend upon the performance of the industry to which the company belongs and the general economic situation of the country. The multitude of factors affecting a companys profitability can be broadly classified as: 1. Economic wide factors: these includes the factors like growth rate of the economy, the rate of inflation, foreign exchange rates etc which affects profitability of all companies.

2.

Industry wide factors: these include factors which are specific to


industry to which the company belongs. For instance the demand supply gap in the industry, the emergence of substitutes, and changes in government policies towards industry affects the company belonging to an industry.

3. Company wide factor: these factors are specific to a firm. The firm specific factors like plant and machinery, the brand image of the product, and ability of the management to affect the profitability. Fundamental analysis considers the financial and economic data that may influence the viability of a company. There are many flavors of fundamental analysis centered on such concepts as value, growth and turnarounds. Technical analysis is the

10

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

study of the price chart. It assumes that by looking at the progress of that little squiggly line you can forecast the future trend of a stock. Fundamental analysis is essential to most investors, and technical analysis is essential to most traders and speculators. An investor with rational and scientific approach will therefore be interested in analyzing the influence of the expected performance of the company, industry and economy as a whole on share prices, even before taking the investment decision such analysis is called fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis is the method of evaluating securities by attempting to measure the intrinsic value of a particular stock. It is the study of everything from the overall economy and industry conditions, to the financial condition and management of specific companies (i.e., using real data to evaluate a stocks value). The method utilizes items such as revenues, earnings, return on equity and profit margins to determine a companys underlying value and potential for future growth. One of the major assumptions under fundamental analysis is that, even though things get mis priced in the market from time to time, the price of an asset will eventually gravitate toward its true value. This seems to be a reasonable bet considering the long upward march of quality stocks in general despite regular setbacks and periods of irrational exuberance. The key strategy for the fundamentalist is to buy when prices are at or below this intrinsic value and sell when they got overpriced.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: Technical analysis is the examination of past price movements to forecast future price movements. Technical analysts are sometimes referred to as chartists because they rely almost exclusively on charts for their analysis. Moving Average: A Moving Average is an indicator that shows the average value of a security's price over a period of time. When calculating a moving average, a mathematical analysis of the security's average value over a predetermined time period is made. As the securities price changes, its average price moves up or down. There are several popular ways to calculate a moving average. Meta Stock for Java calculates a "simple" moving average--meaning that equal weight is given to each price over the calculation period. Interpretation: The most popular method of interpreting a moving average is to compare the relationship between moving averages of the security's price with the security's price itself. A buy signal is generated when the security's price rises above its moving average and a sell signal is generated when the security's price falls below its moving average. This type of moving average trading system is not intended to get you in at the exact bottom nor out at the exact top. Rather, it is designed to keep you in line with the security's price trend by buying shortly after the security's price bottoms and selling shortly after it tops. The critical element in a moving average is the number of time periods used in calculating the average. When using hindsight, you can always find a moving average that would have been profitable. The key is to find a moving average that will be consistently profitable. The most popular moving average is the 39-week (or

12

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

200-day) moving average. This moving average has an excellent track record in timing the major (long-term) market cycles. Advantages: The advantage of moving average system of this type (i.e., buying and selling when prices break through their moving average) is that you will always be on the "right" side of the market: prices cannot rise very much without the price rising above its average price. The disadvantage is that you will always buy and sell some late. If the trend does not last for a significant period of time, typically twice the length of the moving average, you will lose your money. Support and Resistance: Support and resistance represent key junctures where the forces of supply and demand meet. In the financial markets, prices are driven by excessive supply (down) and demand (up). Supply is synonymous with bearish, bears and selling. Demand is synonymous with bullish, bulls and buying. These terms are used interchangeably throughout this and other articles. As demand increases, prices advance and as supply increases, prices decline. When supply and demand are equal, prices move sideways as bulls and bears slug it out for control. What Is Support? Support is the price level at which demand is thought to be strong enough to prevent the price from declining further. The logic dictates that as the price declines towards support and gets cheaper, buyers become more inclined to buy and sellers become less inclined to sell. By the time the price reaches the support level, it is believed that demand will overcome supply and prevent the price from falling below support. Support does not always hold and a break below support signals that the bears have won out over the bulls. A decline below support indicates a new willingness to sell and/or a lack of incentive to buy. Support breaks and new lows signal that sellers have reduced their expectations and are willing sell at even lower prices. In addition,

13

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

buyers could not be coerced into buying until prices declined below support or below the previous low. Once support is broken, another support level will have to be established at a lower level. Where Is Support Established? Support levels are usually below the current price, but it is not uncommon for a security to trade at or near support. Technical analysis is not an exact science and it is sometimes difficult to set exact support levels. In addition, price movements can be volatile and dip below support briefly. Sometimes it does not seem logical to consider a support level broken if the price closes 1/8 below the established support level. For this reason, some traders and investors establish support zones. What Is Resistance? Resistance is the price level at which selling is thought to be strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. The logic dictates that as the price advances towards resistance, sellers become more inclined to sell and buyers become less inclined to buy. By the time the price reaches the resistance level, it is believed that supply will overcome demand and prevent the price from rising above resistance. Resistance does not always hold and a break above resistance signals that the bulls have won out over the bears. A break above resistance shows a new willingness to buy and/or a lack of incentive to sell. Resistance breaks and new highs indicate buyers have increased their expectations and are willing to buy at even higher prices. In addition, sellers could not be coerced into selling until prices rose above resistance or above the previous high. Once resistance is broken, another resistance level will have to be established at a higher level.

Where Is Resistance Established? Resistance levels are usually above the current price, but it is not uncommon for a security to trade at or near resistance. In addition, price movements can be volatile and rise above resistance briefly. Sometimes it does not seem logical to

14

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

consider a resistance level broken if the price closes 1/8 above the established resistance level. For this reason, some traders and investors establish resistance zones. So, Here, Identification of key support and resistance levels is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis. Even though it is sometimes difficult to establish exact support and resistance levels, being aware of their existence and location can greatly enhance analysis and forecasting abilities. If a security is approaching an important support level, it can serve as an alert to be extra vigilant in looking for signs of increased buying pressure and a potential reversal. If a security is approaching a resistance level, it can act as an alert to look for signs of increased selling pressure and potential reversal. If a support or resistance level is broken, it signals that the relationship between supply and demand has changed. A resistance breakout signals that demand (bulls) has gained the upper hand and a support break signals that supply (bears) has won the battle. Price Oscillator: The Price Oscillator displays the difference between two moving averages of a security's price. The difference between the moving averages can be expressed in either points or percentages. The Price Oscillator is almost identical to the MACD, except that the Price Oscillator can use any two user-specified moving averages. (The MACD always uses 12 and 26-day moving averages, and always expresses the difference in points.) Interpretation: Moving average analysis typically generates buy signals when a short-term moving average (or the security's price) rises above a longer-term moving average. Conversely, sell signals are generated when a shorter-term moving average (or the security's price) falls below a longer-term moving average. The Price Oscillator illustrates the cyclical and often profitable signals generated by these one or two moving average systems.

15

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Price Rate-Of-Change: The Price Rate-of-Change ("ROC") indicator displays the difference between the current price and the price x-time periods ago. The difference can be displayed in either points or as a percentage. The Momentum indicator displays the same information, but expresses it as a ratio. Interpretation: It is a well-recognized phenomenon that security prices surge ahead and retract in a cyclical wave-like motion. This cyclical action is the result of the changing expectations as bulls and bears struggle to control prices. The ROC displays the wave-like motion in an oscillator format by measuring the amount that prices have changed over a given time period. As prices increase, the ROC rises; as prices fall, the ROC falls. The greater the change in prices, the greater the change in the ROC. The time period used to calculate the ROC may range from 1-day (which results in a volatile chart showing the daily price change) to 200-days (or longer). The most popular time periods are the 12- and 25-day ROC for short to intermediateterm trading. These time periods were popularized by Gerald Appel and Fred Hitschler in their book, Stock Market Trading Systems. The 12-day ROC is an excellent shortto intermediate-term

overbought/oversold indicator. The higher the ROC, the more overbought the security; the lower the ROC, the more likely a rally. However, as with all overbought/oversold indicators, it is prudent to wait for the market to begin to correct (i.e., turn up or down) before placing your trade. A market that appears overbought may remain overbought for some time. In fact, extremely overbought/oversold readings usually imply a continuation of the current trend. The 12-day ROC tends to be very cyclical, oscillating back and forth in a fairly regular cycle. Often, price changes can be anticipated by studying the previous cycles of the ROC and relating the previous cycles to the current market

16

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Relative Strength Index (RSI): The Relative Strength Index ("RSI") is a popular oscillator. It was first introduced by Welles Wilder in an article in Commodities (now known as Futures) Magazine in June, 1978. The name "Relative Strength Index" is slightly misleading as the Relative Strength Index does not compare the relative strength of two securities, but rather the internal strength of a single security. A more appropriate name might be "Internal Strength Index." Interpretation: When Wilder introduced the Relative Strength Index, he recommended using a 14-day Relative Strength Index. Since then, the 9-day and 25-day Relative Strength Indexs have also gained popularity. The fewer days used to calculate the Relative Strength Index, the more volatile the indicator. The Relative Strength Index is a price-following oscillator that ranges between 0 and 100. A popular method of analyzing the Relative Strength Index is to look for a divergence in which the security is making a new high, but the Relative Strength Index is failing to surpass its previous high. This divergence is an indication of an impending reversal. When the Relative Strength Index then turns down and falls below its most recent trough, it is said to have completed a "failure swing." The failure swing is considered a confirmation of the impending reversal. In Mr. Wilder's book, he discusses five uses of the Relative Strength Index: 1. Tops and Bottoms. The Relative Strength Index usually tops above 70 and bottoms below 30. It usually forms these tops and bottoms before the underlying price chart. 2. Chart Formations. The Relative Strength Index often forms chart patterns such as head and shoulders or triangles that may or may not be visible on the price chart.

17

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

3. Failure Swings (also known as support or resistance penetrations or breakouts). This is where the Relative Strength Index surpasses a previous high (peak) or falls below a recent low (trough). 4. Support and Resistance. The Relative Strength Index shows, sometimes more clearly than price themselves, levels of support and resistance. 5. Divergences. As discussed above, divergences occur when the price makes a new high (or low) that is not confirmed by a new high (or low) in the Relative Strength Index. Prices usually correct and move in the direction of the Relative Strength Index.

Trend lines: In the preceding section, we saw how support and resistance levels can be penetrated by a change in investor expectations (which results in shifts of the supply/demand lines). This type of a change is often abrupt and "news based." In this section, we'll review "trends." A trend represents a consistent change in prices (i.e., a change in investor expectations). levels represent barriers to change. Trends differ from support/resistance levels in that trends represent change, whereas support/resistance

18

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

As shown in the following chart, a rising trend is defined by successively higher low-prices. A rising trend can be thought of as a rising support level--the bulls are in control and are pushing prices higher.

As shown in the next chart, a falling trend is defined by successively lower high-prices. A falling trend can be thought of as a falling resistance level--the bears are in control and are pushing prices lower.

The Bar Chart: The Bar chart is one of the most popular types of charts used in technical analysis. As illustrated on the left, the top of the vertical line indicates the highest price at which a security traded during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is displayed on the right side of the bar and the opening price is shown on the left side of the bar. A single bar like the one to the left represents one day of trading.

The advantage of using a bar chart over a straight-line graph is that it shows the high, low, open and close for each particular day. Candle sticks Charting: Candlestick charts have been around for hundreds of years. They are often referred to as "Japanese candles" because the Japanese would use them to analyze the price of rice contracts. Similar to a bar chart, candlestick charts also display the open, close, daily high and daily low. The difference is the use of color to show if the stock went up or down over the day.

Investors seem to have a "love/hate" relationship with candlestick charts. People either love them and use them frequently or they are completely turned off by them. There are several patterns to look for with candlestick charts - here are a few of the popular ones and what they mean.

This is a bullish pattern - the stock opened at (or near) its low and closed near its high

21

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The opposite of the pattern above, this is a bearish pattern. It indicates that the stock opened at (or near) its high and dropped substantially to close near its low.

Known as "the hammer", this is a bullish pattern only if it occurs after the stock price has dropped for several days. A small body along with a large range identifies a hammer. This pattern indicates that a reversal in the downtrend is in the works.

Known as a "star. For the most part, stars typically indicate a reversal and or indecision. There is a possibility that after seeing a star there will be a reversal or change in the current trend.

Point and Figure Chart: The point & figure (P&F) chart is somewhat rare. In fact, most charting services do not even offer it. This chart plots day-to-day increases and declines in price: increases are represented by a rising stack of "X"s, while decreases are represented by a declining stack of "O"s. This type of chart was traditionally used for intraday charting (a stock chart for just one day), mainly because it can be long and tedious to create a P&F chart manually over a longer period of time. The idea behind P&F charts is that they help you to filter out less significant price movements and to focus on the most important trends. Below is an example of a P&F chart for AT&T (T):

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

POPULAR CHARTING PATTERNS: Technical analysts often use proven successful price patterns from great stocks as tools to find new great stocks. Let's look at a few examples

23

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Cup and Handle - This is a pattern on a bar chart that can be as short as seven weeks and as long as 65 weeks. The cup is in the shape of a "U". The handle has a slight downward drift. The right-hand side of the pattern has low trading volume. As the stock comes up to test the old highs, the stock will incur selling pressure by the people who bought at or near the old high. This selling pressure will make the stock price trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for anywhere from four days to four weeks, then it will take off. This pattern looks like a pot with a handle. It is one of the easier patterns to detect; and investors have made a lot of money using it.

Head and Shoulders - This is a chart formation resembling an "M" in which a stock's price: - Rises to a peak and then declines, then
-

Rises above the former peak and again declines, and then - rises again but not to the second peak and again declines.

The first and third peaks are shoulders, and the second peak forms the head. This pattern is considered a very bearish indicator.

24

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Double Bottom - This pattern resembles a "W" and occurs when a stock price drops to a similar price level twice within a few weeks or months. You should buy when the price passes the highest point in the handle. In a perfect double bottom, the second decline should normally go slightly lower than the first decline to create a shakeout of jittery investors. The middle point of the "W" should not go into new high ground. This is a very Bullish indicator.

The belief is that, after two drops in the stock price, the jittery investors will be out and the long-term investors will still be holding on.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY: 1. The study is limited only to these 2 sectors and 4 companies. 2. Here, an attempt is made to predict the future movement stock. It contains an element of guess work 3. Here, I have used only 3 Technical tools to predict the movement of Scrips

Technical analysis of selected sector socks is as fallows Here you can see the charts of BHEL, L&T and NIFTY which is designed (derived) by MS Excel sheet. For calculating of RSI, SMA and EMA 2 years historical closing prices are used. The respective formulas of SMA, EMA and RSI is as follows

28

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

SMA (Simple Moving Average) A simple moving average is formed by computing the average (mean) price of a security over a specified number of periods. While it is possible to create moving averages from the Open, the High, and the Low data points, most moving averages are created using the closing price. For example: a 5-day simple moving average is calculated by adding the closing prices for the last 5 days and dividing the total by 5.
Ex: if the closing prices are as follows: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 12 10+11+12+13+14=60 (60/5)=12 Here 12 is a first moving average obtained from the given closing prices, next moving average can be calculated by deducting first cl price i.e 10 and adding next cl. Price i.e 17 and again dividing it by 5.

Exponential Moving Average (EMA)


In order to reduce the lag in SMA, technicians often use EMA. EMA's reduce the lag by applying more weight to recent prices relative to older prices. The weighting applied to the most recent price depends on the specified period of the moving average. The shorter the EMA's period, the more weight that will be applied to the most recent price. For example: a 10-period EMA weighs the most recent price 18.18% while a 20-period EMA weighs the most recent price 9.52%. As such, it will react quicker to recent price changes than a SMA. Here's the calculation formula

EMA (current) = ((price (current)-EMA (prev)) x multiplier+ EMA(prev)


Where, Multiplier 2/n+1 n- Number of days for which EMA is calculated If we take the same example of SMA 5 day EMA is calculated as follows. EMA= (12-11) X 0.666 + 11 = 11.66

29

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Where multiplier = 2/ (5 +1) = 0.666 For next EMA 11.66 acts as previous EMA and so on

Relative Strength Index. Ans: Developed by J. Welles Wilder and introduced in his 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, the Relative Strength Index is an extremely useful and popular momentum oscillator.

43

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

3. The 18day EMA & SMA of Nifty has broken down below 90 day EMA. So this is one more conclusive evidence for reversal of trend from Bull to Bear.

Immediate Future: As we can see from the graph it is clear that market is finding support at 4450 to 4600(which is previous resistance for the market). At this level market is likely to consolidate for the medium time period. Significance of Future Trend: In future unless and until market finds required strengths to come to the previous level i.e. resistance at 5630 50, there will be no signs of market turning Bullish. And if in future market breaks the resistance level i.e. 5630-50 then it will rally up to 6980-7020. (Target) Long term analysis 1. Market is sentiment driven and swings and hypes in market are so strong that they prevail even for years that have happened at present. 2. There has been shift in market trend and it has turned bearish though there is no clear sign of bear trend (its a long term correction not exactly bearish) but present situation is of complete chaos has left market in a state of volatility so we should wait and see market movement closely. 3. Markets long term support is at 3118-3130 and next support is at 4500 level so next rally from that level 4500 is 1380-1400(4500-3110) and we can see some 150-200 points abortive rally has been occurred and has reached 6050. 4. At that level market was waiting for correction. Bad clues from US slow down had made market to take LT correction and market has turned to be volatile and has yet to settle down at previous support of 4500. Short term analysis: 1) Trend short term or intermediate trend for the scrip has been flat. Now turning in to bearish. 2) Key short term support and resistance levels for the scrip.

44

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

As we can see from the 10 day EMA &SMA graph the scrip has established strong support at 130-140 price band. Price movement; the scrip has undergone major consolidation (sideway movement) phase. And it seems that the scrip has made abortive attempt to breach the flat trend and start rally, but in vain and the obvious reason for this failure is market crash. In the month Feb 2008 the scrip has broken the key support (130-140) and turned out to be bearish Future; as the scrip has already broken the key support, the short term traders should sell it and the fresh buy signal for the stock is known only when scrip establishes support. If in case scrip regains the strength to come back to the level of 130-140, investors should still wait till it clearly breaches above that level but with expanding volume. Trading tactics for short term investors: As it can be clearly seen from the graph, the stock is purely a trading stock. So to trade in the scrip one should look for key support and also look for cue from RSI. If the stock is at support and selling pressure is high i.e. RSI value 30 and below, it should be bought and sold at high buying pressure i.e. at RSI value 70 & above. Here the identifying future target price (for the short term) is very difficult as scrip was undergoing phase of consolidation and has no established resistance level.

1. Economic wide factors: these includes the factors like growth rate of the
economy, the rate of inflation, foreign exchange rates etc which affects profitability of all companies.

2.

Industry wide factors: these include factors which are specific to


industry to which the company belongs. For instance the demand supply gap in the industry, the emergence of substitutes, and changes in government policies towards industry affects the company belonging to an industry.

3. Company wide factor: these factors are specific to a firm. The firm
specific factors like plant and machinery, the brand image of the product, and ability of the management to affect the profitability.

Economic wide factors The following are the some of the important economic factors which influence the investment of investor over a period of time. Indian Economy Overview India's economy is on the fulcrum of an ever increasing growth curve. With positive indicators such as a stable 8-9 per cent annual growth, rising foreign

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

exchange reserves, a booming capital market and a rapidly expanding FDI inflows, India has emerged as the second fastest growing major economy in the world. The economy has been growing at an average growth rate of 8.8 per cent in the last four fiscal years (2003-04 to 2006-07), with the 2006-07 growth rate of 9.6 per cent being the highest in the last 18 years. Significantly, the industrial and service sectors have been contributing a major part of this growth, suggesting the structural transformation underway in the Indian economy. For example, industrial and services sectors have logged in a 10.63 and 11.18 per cent growth rate in 2006-07 respectively, against 8.02 per and 11.01 cent in 200506. Similarly, manufacturing grew by 8.98 per cent and 12 per cent in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and transport, storage and communication recorded a growth of 14.65 and per cent 16.64 per cent, respectively. Another significant feature of the growth process has been the consistently increasing savings and investment rate. While the gross saving rate as a proportion of GDP has increased from 23.5 per cent in 2001-02 to 34.8 per cent in 2006-07, the investment rate-reflected as the gross capital formation as a proportion of GDP-has increased from 22.8 per cent in 2001-02 to 35.9 per cent in 2006-07.

The Current Fiscal Year The process continues in the current fiscal year. On the back of 9.9 per cent growth in the first half of 2006-07, GDP grew by 9.1 per cent during April-September 2007.

While overall industrial production grew by 9 per cent during April-December 2007, importantly capital goods production rose by 20.2 per cent compared to 18.6 per cent during same period in 2006.

Services grew by 10.5 per cent in April-September 2007, on the back of 11.6 per cent during the corresponding period in 2006-07.

47

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Manufacturing grew by 9.6 per cent during April-December 2007, on the back of 12.2 per cent growth during same period in 2006-07. Core infrastructure sector continued its growth rate recording 6 per cent growth in April-November 2007. While exports grew by 21.76 per cent during April-December 2007, imports increased by 25.97 per cent in the same period. Money Supply (M3) has grown by a robust 22.8 per cent growth (year-onyear) as of December 21, 2007 compared to 19.3 per cent last year. The annual inflation rate in terms of WPI was 3.5 per cent for the week ended December 29, 2007 as compared to 5.89 per cent a year ago. Fiscal and revenue deficit decreased by 11 per cent and 17.2 per cent, respectively, during April-November 2007-08 over corresponding period last year.

With such a robust growth rates, the advance estimates of the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) expects the economy to grow by 8.7 per cent in 2007-08.

Per Capita Income Along this significant acceleration in the growth rate of Indian economy, India's per capita income has increased at a rapid pace, exceeding an earlier forecast made by Goldman Sachs BRIC report which estimated India's per capita to touch US$ 800 by 2010 and US$ 1149 by 2015. Per capita income has increased from US$ 460 in 2000-01 to almost double to US$ 797 by the end of 2006-07. In 2007-08, India's per capita income is estimated to be over US$ 825.07, according to the advance estimates of the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO). Further, India's per capita income is expected to increase to US$

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

2000 by 2016-17 and US$ 4000 by 2025. This growth rate will, consequently, propel India into the middle-income category. Some Highlights Reflecting the favorable prospect of growth rate of Indian economy, the orders received Indian companies have increased by a whopping 68.6 per cent to US$ 32.48 billion during January-October 2007 compared to US$ 19.26 billion in the same period last year.

India is among the five countries sharing 50 per cent of the world production (or GDP). FDI inflows have jumped by almost three times to US$ 15.7 billion in 200607 as against US$ 5.5 billion in 2005-06. The aggregate income of the top 500 companies rose by 28.4 per cent in 200607 to total US$ 469.51 billion.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Another significant aspect has been the broad-based nature of the growth process. While new economy industries like Information Technology and biotechnology have been growing around 30 per cent, significantly old economy sectors like steel have also been major contributors in the Indian growth process. For example, India has moved up two places to become the fifth largest steel producer in the world. And with its manufacturing and service sectors on a searing growth path, Lehman Brothers Asia estimates India to grow by as much as 10 per cent every year in the next decade. 1. Growth rate of industrial sector: The growth of industrial sector is an important contributor to the growth of national income. The performance and the growth of industry is measured through an Index of industrial product.

2. Inflation Inflation prevailing in the economy has considerable impact on the performance of the companies high rates of inflation upsets business plans, results in high input costs and hence reduction in profit margins. On the other hand the inflation erodes purchasing power of buyer and results in reduction in demand for goods. The demand for consumer goods will particularly be affected adversely. Inflation is measured by sustainable price index number. The whole sale price index number is generally used for this purpose.

3. Interest rates Interest rates reflect the cost and availability of credit to the companies operating in the economy. The interest rates and the volume as well as direction of the credit supply in the economy is influenced by monitory policy of the reserve bank of India (RBI). If the cheap money policy is pursued the interest rates are likely to be lower and larger volume of money supply is expected to be there in the economy. The lower rate of interest implies lower cost of financing the companys operations and assures higher profitability, higher the rate of interest higher will be the costs of manufacturing and sale, which is expected to lead lower profit.

A depreciation of rupee against US or other currency will make Indian products more competitive price wise. In the foreign markets, thereby stimulating export from India

5. Government budget. The government budget provides detailed information on each of components of government spending and revenues. The deficit is essentially the excess of government spending on revenues. A budget deficit is often incurred for creating infrastructural facilities in the economy tends to create inflationary pressure. Due to this there is a strong public opinion against the governments creating of deficit without expanding the revenue. 6. Savings and investment. The capital market is channel through which the savings of households are made available to corporate for investment.

Industrial analysis
Engineering:
Engineering is a diverse industry with a number of segments. A company from this sector can be a power equipment manufacturer (like transformers and boilers), execution specialist or a niche player (like providing environment friendly solutions). It can be an electrical, non-electrical machinery and static equipment manufacturer too The sector is relatively less fragmented at the top, as competencies required are high. But it is highly fragmented at the lower end (like unbranded transformers for the retail segment) and is dominated by smaller players. The user industries in broad terms are power utilities (generation, transmission and distribution), industrial majors (refining, automotive and textiles), government (public investment) and retail consumers (pumps and motors). Order book size determines the performance of the company in the short to medium-term. In order to bag big contracts, companies need to have a big balance sheet size and proven execution capabilities. They need huge working capital in order to execute bigger contracts, as initially they receive only part payment and the remaining comes as projects get executed. Tariffs that earlier offered protection to Indian capital goods manufacturers, have been removed. Import duties on a range of equipments have also been reduced.

53

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

This coupled with the high cost of capital in India puts Indian manufacturers at a disadvantage against overseas competition. Power sector contributes the largest to the engineering companies' revenues. For instance, ABB and BHEL derive 60% and 72% of their revenues from supplying equipments to the power sector. And with the government planning to add large generation capacities in the eleventh (2007-12) five-year plan, the potential seems huge for the engineering majors. This is because, apart from the investment in generation capacity buildup, an equivalent amount is likely to be spent in the transmission and distribution space as well. Infrastructure is another key area of operation for major Indian engineering companies. L&T, for example, garners around 30% of its sales from infrastructure activities like engineering, design and construction of industrial projects and social & physical projects like housing, hospitals, IT parks, expressways, bridges, ports, and water & effluent treatment projects. The high global crude prices on account of growing demand has led to increased activities in the exploration and development space. This has helped the engineering companies in this space. More importantly, this segment of the engineering business has relatively higher margins than infrastructure, owing to more complex tasks involved.

Key Points Supply: Abundant supplies available across most segments, except for technology intensive executions Demand: Demand growth in this sector is fuelled by expenditure in core sectors such as power, railways, infrastructure development, private sector investments and the speed at which the projects are implemented.

54

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Barriers to entry: Barriers to entry are high at upper end of the industry as skilled manpower and technologies, and ability to fund large projects are a prerequisite Bargaining power of suppliers: Bargaining power of suppliers is low because of intense competition. However, in technology driven high-end segments, suppliers have the upper hand. Bargaining power of customers: Bargaining power for technology driven segments is low. Competition: Majority of the companies compete in terms of pricing, experience in specific field, product differentiation and timely completion of projects. Financial Year '07 FY07 proved to be yet another good year for the Indian engineering and capital goods industry. Strong growth in industrial and manufacturing industries reflected in the picking up of investment activities in areas like power, infrastructure and processes. The capital goods index recorded strong growth during the entire year, though with some blips during the months September and October 2006. The order books of almost all companies witnessed healthy growth. For engineering majors like BHEL and L&T, at the end of March 2007, the value of outstanding orders stood at nearly 3 times and 2 times respective FY07 revenues. In general, the growth in order book came from both power and industrial businesses. The companies were able to bag international orders. The topline of the engineering majors witnessed double-digit growth during the fiscal. While the industry continued the trend of cost cutting through reducing debt and restructuring operations and manpower rationalization, rising input costs dented pared the improvement in profitability. Sharp rise in costs of steel and crude on the back of buoyant global demand and inadequate supplies, was the biggest dampener to profit growth

55

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The fiscal also witnessed majors like Suzlon and Crompton Greaves chart out aggressive acquisitions in the international arena. The major focus area for these companies was to fill in the niches by way of acquiring new technologies and clients and having a diversified geographical presence. Budget 2008-09: World-class infrastructure has emerged as one of the most important necessities for unleashing high and sustained growth and alleviation of poverty in any economy. And with poor infrastructure to support other growth initiatives, the Indian economy continues to be a laggard when compared to its developing peers. From a policy perspective, however, there has been a growing consensus that a private-public partnership is required to remove difficulties concerning the development of infrastructure in the country. The realisation finally seems to be setting in. This makes the future of the Indian engineering sector extremely bright. Apart from highway development and construction and modernisation of airports, the potential for the sector lies in the oil and gas space, where high global demand has led to increased action in exploration and production activities. However, scale and execution capabilities remain the mantras for success Budget Measures

Setting up of a national fund for T&D reforms to aid growth prospects of equipment suppliers and T&D project developers. 3. Removal of exemption from additional customs duty on power generation, transmission and distribution projects to increase cost for companies importing such projects, which shall consequently be beneficial for domestic project developers. However, on the other hand, reduction in custom duty on project imports to nullify the impact. 4. Initiatives like skill development programme and setting up of industrial training institutes to reduce talent crunch for engineering companies, which are reporting high levels of attrition 5. Increase in defense allocation to aid prospect of companies providing defense equipments and technologies

Key Positives of budget 2008-09:

59

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Power play: Since power utilities are one of the biggest consumers (generation, transmission and distribution) for engineering companies, reforms introduced in the power sector like privatisation of SEBs will help in strengthening the order book size. Huge addition in power generation capacity, in order to meet the demand supply gap will be a big positive for the sector. Infrastructure development: The government is focusing on development of infrastructure like housing, airports, roads and ports. This will be big positive for engineering and construction companies Industrial act: Industrial divisions of engineering companies are likely to benefit from the increased focus on automation and capacity addition plans drawn by the India Inc. Key Negatives of budget 2008-09 Captive competition: Duty free import of T&D equipments by captive power generation units, if allowed by government, can have some impact on margins of the T&D majors because of competition People problem: Engineering companies, across the board, are facing troubled times retaining key employees. This is due to increased levels of competition for talent from MNCs, who have deep pockets and thus better paying capabilities. As a result of increasing levels of attrition, some companies are facing execution issues.

Prospects:
World-class infrastructure has emerged as one of the most important necessities for unleashing high and sustained growth and alleviation of poverty in any economy. And with poor infrastructure to support other growth initiatives, the Indian economy continues to be a laggard when compared to its developing peers. From a policy perspective, however, there has been a growing consensus that a private-public partnership is required to remove difficulties concerning the development of infrastructure in the country. The realisation finally seems to be setting in. This makes the future of the Indian engineering sector extremely bright. Apart from highway

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

development and construction and modernisation of airports, the potential for the sector lies in the oil and gas space, where high global demand has led to increased action in exploration and production activities. Considering these factors, we expect the sector to grow strongly into the future. However, scale and execution capabilities will be the key mantras for success for the engineering companies Impetus given for growth of infrastructure and core industry in the last two budgets of the central government is expected to increase capacity utilisation of producers of coal, cement, iron ore and likely to increase demand for construction and mining equipments. Industrial growth and capital investment levels have improved and this will drive the growth in the coming years. The government's initiative to bring clarity to the power sector reforms is a welcome sign for the industry. More coordination between the Centre and states for infrastructure development is a step in the right direction. The Electricity Act 2003 has introduced a lot of reforms in the power sector. The unbundling in the sector will definitely boost private investment. PSUs like NTPC are expected to almost double their generation capacity in next few years, which is a good sign for the engineering companies. The shift in focus towards reducing T&D losses will further increase the order book size of the companies operating in this realm. With power generation and distribution looking up, power equipment companies can look forward to a promising future Deregulation combined with high global demand for crude has led to a surge in exploration and production activities in India and globally. Also, there has been a radical change in the governments approach to E&P (exploration and production) activities in the country. This thrust in development of new wells and improvement of output from old wells promises bright prospects for engineering companies Automation business has perked as the user industries started realising its benefits. With increasing competition among the power companies, the consumers will demand better quality and uninterrupted power supply. In such a scenario automation will play an important role. With the automation technologies gaining momentum, companies like ABB and Siemens will benefit a lot going forward. Capacity addition and de-bottlenecking exercise being carried by various industries like steel, power, refineries, chemicals etc is likely to provide a fillip to the industrial segment of the engineering companies

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

goods manufacturer in India and the 12th largest in the world. The international competitors of BHEL are General Electric, Siemens, Alstom and ABB. BHEL offers a wide spectrum of equipment, systems and services in the field of power, transmission, industry, transportation, oil & gas, non-conventional energy sources and telecommunication. Power sector constitutes over half of its total business. The company has 14 manufacturing divisions, 8 service centres and 4 power sector regional centres. Its first plant was set up at Bhopal in 1956 under technical collaboration with AEI, UK followed by three more major plants at Hardwar, Hyderabad and Tiruchirapalli with Russian and Czechoslovak assistance. Products & services BHEL manufactures over 200 products under 30 major product groups. The company has installed equipment for over 100,000 mw of power generation for utilities, captive and industrial users. Its strengths are comparable product range and cost competitiveness with foreign manufacturers. The company enjoys a crucial advantage of depreciated assets. The company is cost-competitive when it comes to power plant equipment and has bagged a number of power project orders placed in India against open international competitive bidding. The company has joint venture with Siemens for servicing old Indian fossil fuel power plants and with GE for designing of heavy-duty gas turbines. Thirtytwo thermal power stations equipped with Bhels generating sets have been given productivity awards by the power ministry. Of these power stations, eight have received gold medals. The awards have been given for meritorious and efficient performance based on account of reduced inputs. The company already manufactures products required by the distribution systems like transformers, switchgears etc. The company is planning towards becoming an application service provider. The company will continue to focus on project management, reducing cycle time and cost control. In the power sector, the company plans to obtain a part of the business generated by independent power producers through a combination of approaches including consortium route, equity participation and limited financial syndication. I It has equipped itself with the new type of once-through design boiler technology, and for pollution control - bag filter technology. BHEL entered into new

business in integrated gasification combined cycle systems, coal washeries, and LRT systems. In it's existing businesses of transportation, transmission & industry. BHEL is pursuing opportunities in EMU coaches, loco refurbishment, gas-insulated switcher, HVDC insulators, and electronic meters. The company will continue to focus on product developments in order to foster its growth strategy. The electronics division has forayed into traction business and received a large order from DoT for switching equipment. BHEL has developed a new series compensation scheme Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) for reducing power losses and speedy transmission. The FACTS will enhance power transfer capability of the system and reduce transmission losses in 400 kV lines considerably. The company has also developed an automatic device that adjusts itself to the systems requirement in less than 10 milliseconds. It reduces system losses and improves power system stability in highvoltage transmission lines.

Key Risks
Delay in capacity expansion The companys 37,000 MW of order flow for BHEL over FY09-12E, in addition to the existing strong order backlog. Any delay in second phase of expansion from 10,000 MW to 15,000 MW could severely impact BHELs earnings, given the strong deliverables over next three-four years. The first phase of expansion from 6,000 MW to 10,000 MW had been delayed by nine months.

82

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Slowdown in pace of power reforms Given the recent momentum in power reforms, it is expected the balance Eleventh Plan orders and 70% of Twelfth Plan orders to be placed by FY12. Any significant delay in the awarding activity could be a huge dampener for BHELs outlook going ahead, given that the company is the market leader (65% market share in countrys installed capacity as in FY07). Increase in private sector investments in power projects = intensifying competition As per CEA, 35% of the power capacity addition in the Twelfth Plan will be undertaken by the private sector. Any subsequent change in the mix, in favour of the private sector, could result in lower order intake for BHEL. While central and state sector projects are BHELs forte (70% plus market share), the companys market share in private sector projects has been lower (20-25%) on account of stiff competition. Stiff input prices could affect margins Although it have not built in benefits on account of raw material pricing over FY09 12E, any unprecedented rise in input costs above FY07-08E levels could dampen BHELs margins. Execution delays could lead to de-rating The re-rating in BHELs valuations over the past one year builds in strong visibility over the next few years. The key concern now is BHELs ability to execute this huge opportunity, failing wherein could lead to the stock being de-rated.

2. Current ratio Sl.no Ratio 2 Current ratio Formula CA/CL 2007 1.26 Year 2006 1.36 2005 1.54

The short term creditors prefer high current ratio since it reduces their risk. As a share holder one should prefer low current ratio so that the company may use its current assets for expansion purpose. Here we can see that the companys current ratio has reduced over a period of time so we can say that the companies using its current assets for expansion purpose. 3. Quick ratio Year Sl.no Ratio Formula 2007 2006 3 Quick ratio CA-(stock+prepaid exp)/CL 0.93 1.03 Measures assets that are quickly converted into cash and they are compared with current liabilities. This ratio realizes that some of current assets are not easily convertible to cash e.g. inventories. In the ratio above we can see that the companys quick ratio reduced over a period of time. 4. Inventory turn over ratio. Year Sl.no Ratio Formula 2007 2006 4 Inventory turnover ratio COGS/avg INV 5.24 6.06 This ratio measures the stock in relation to turnover in order to determine how often the stock turns over in the business. This ratio should be higher because it indicates that the company is efficiently converting its inventory into sales. 2007: 12/5.24 = 2.29 times 2006: 12/6.06 = 1.98 times 2005 5.30 2005 1.12

This compares to 0.55 rupee in 2005. 6. Interest coverage ratio. Year Sl.no Ratio Formula 2007 2006 6 Interest coverage ratio EBIT/INTERST 7.52 5.03 This ratio, as the name suggests indicates the extent to which a fall in EBIT is tolerable in that the ability of the firm to service its interest payments would not be adversely affected. Here the companys Interest coverage ratio has increased which is dangerous sign. 7. Gross profit margin Year Sl.no Ratio Formula 2007 2006 7 Gross profit margin Gross profit / sales 10.61 7.91 The ratio above shows the increasing trend in the gross profit since the ratio has improved from 7% in 2005 to 10.61% on 2007. This indicates that the rate in increase in cost of goods sold are less than rate of increase in sales, hence the increased efficiency. 2005 7 2005 4.43 2005 0.55

8. Net profit margin Sl.no Ratio Formula 2007 8 Net profit ratio EAT/ Net sales 7.74 The net margin ratio shows that the margin is fairly stable over time with slight Year 2006 6.69 2005 7.33

14 EPS shares 49.53 73.67 Whatever income remains in the business after all prior claims, other than owners claims (i.e. ordinary dividends) have been paid, will belong to the ordinary shareholders who can then make a decision as to how much of this income they wish to remove from the business in the form of a dividend, and how much they wish to retain in the business. The shareholders are particularly interested in knowing how much has been earned during the financial year on each of the shares held by them. For this reason, an earning per share figure must be calculated.

15. Dividend per Share Year Sl.no Ratio Formula 2007 2006 15 DPS Div paid to ord sh / No of shares 13 22 This indicates the dividend paid for each share. Shareholders would, naturally like to receive the maximum possible dividends from a company, consistent with its profits and need for retained earnings. But the companys DPS has reduced drastically in L&T Companys case.

16. PE ratio Sl.n o 16 P/E Ratio MPS/EPS Formula 2007 32.69 Year 2006 33.02 2005 13.14

The P/E ratio reflects the price currently being paid by the market for each rupee of currently reported EPS. High P/E generally reflects lower risk and/or higher growth prospects for earnings. The above ratio shows that the shares were traded at a much higher premium in 2007 than were in 2005. In 2005 the price was 13.14 times higher than earnings while in 2007, the price is 32.69 times higher. 17.

High capacity utilisation across various sectors is fuelling an up trend in capital expenditure. The scale of investment in infrastructure envisaged in the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012) will call for greater engagement by the private sector and international institutions. All these are lead indicators for growth. The conducive business environment coupled with a slew of measures taken by the Company for improvement of operational efficiency, institutionalization of a risk management framework and more judicious selection of projects, have yielded significant benefits.

Within the larger context of the country's increasing investments in building a brighter future, the Company is also investing in multiple spheres - people, technology, capacity expansion both domestically & internationally and brand building. This is essential for sustaining the growth momentum and continuous value creation.

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Engineering design centers at Mumbai, Baroda, Chennai, Bangalore, and Delhi as well as in the Middle East. In line with our objective of emerging as a player with end-to-end capabilities in the power sector, the Company has signed an agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited, Japan for super critical boiler technology and is close to achieving a similar tie-up in the field of turbines. International Business - Strengthening presence beyond India: The Company continues to forge alliances and to invest in international business for enhancing capabilities and achieving its vision of becoming an Indian multinational with focus in the Middle East and China. Joint ventures have been set up in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for electromechanical construction in oil & gas, power and infrastructure sectors. The Modular Fabrication yard being set up at Sohar, Oman will strengthen the Company's presence in the Gulf region. The Company is receiving encouraging response from clients for project execution and Design & Engineering services. The Company has set up manufacturing facilities in China for high- end switchgear & rubber processing machinery and a factory is also being built for industrial valves. These initiatives will accelerate the Company's thrust towards its `Lakshya' target of achieving 25% revenues from international business. Capacity Expansion: The Company is expanding capacity internationally and within India. Substantial capacity augmentation at Hazira will help us address the growing demand in oil & gas industry. The Electrical & Electronics division is expanding its capacity at Mysore, Ahmednagar and Mahape to take care of rapid growth in the sector. The Company crossed a major milestone with the inauguration of the first two units at its 300-acre campus in Coimbatore. The facilities for the manufacture of industrial valves and switchboards are already accomplished. The campus will progressively see the establishment of manufacturing facilities for advanced tooling and high precision components in aerospace, nuclear power, defence sectors etc. The Company is building a state of the art Heavy Lift-cum-Pipelay vessel in partnership with SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad, Malaysia that will give offshore installation capability and achieve significant competitiveness. All the divisions of the Company have

FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

planned increased investments in acquisition and installation of new equipment and manufacturing facilities. Looking Ahead: As we move on, the Company is well positioned to exploit the opportunities that will emerge from hydrocarbon, infrastructure, power, minerals & metals and other industrial sectors. The Public Private Partnership model is going to be the way forward for infrastructure projects in the country. L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited has already consolidated its position with some completed projects and several under implementation across various sectors. With its capabilities augmented through the recent tie-up for manufacture of super critical boilers and the proposed collaboration for turbines, the Company will be in a position to set up complete power projects. L&T Infrastructure Finance Company Limited has initiated funding in the infrastructure segment. The Company has commenced building ships at its Hazira Works. We are also scouting for a suitable site in India to set up a world-class facility for shipbuilding and repair, comparable to the best worldwide. The defence, nuclear power and aerospace sectors show potential and promise. The Raksha Udyog Ratna (RUR) status, when granted to the Company, will facilitate increased business in Defence sector. Leveraging its proven capabilities in construction and electrification for the railways, the Company envisages expanding its presence in this sector. Given the healthy order book position and the opportunities available, the Company believes that it will be able to achieve sustained growth. I am happy to share that the Company was ranked number 1 in two critical attributes 'Quality' and 'Reputation' over a host of other corporates, in The Wall Street Journal Asia's nationwide survey of Indian companies. To conclude, I wish to place on record my appreciation for the outstanding commitment and smart work of all our employees. I am also grateful for the continuing support of my colleagues, our customers, business associates, shareholders and members of the Board. It is this collective effort and support of each member of
