GENRAL INFORMATION

ABOUT OF THE COMPANY:
Tata Motors Limited (formerly TELCO, short for Tata Engineering and
Locomotive Company) is an Indian multinational automotive manufacturing company
headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and a subsidiary of the Tata Group. Its
products include passenger cars, trucks, vans, coaches, buses, construction equipment
and military vehicles. It is the world's 17th-largest motor vehicle manufacturing
company, fourth-largest truck manufacturer, and second-largest bus manufacturer by
volume.

Founded in 1945 as a manufacturer of locomotives, the company manufactured

its first commercial vehicle in 1954 in collaboration with Daimler-Benz AG, which ended
in 1969. Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 with the launch of
the Tata Sierra, becoming the first Indian manufacturer to achieve the capability of
developing a competitive indigenous automobile. In 1998, Tata launched the first fully
indigenous Indian passenger car, the Indica, and in 2008 launched the Tata Nano, the
world's most affordable car. Tata Motors acquired the South Korean truck manufacturer
Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company in 2004 and purchased Jaguar Land Rover
from Ford in 2008.

10
OVERVIEW OF WORLD MARKET:
Indian Automotive Industry growth decades started in the 1970s. Between 1970
and 1984 cars were considered a luxury product; manufacturing was licensed,
expansion was restricted;

The automotive sector in each country faces a range of varying factors particular
to their individual market conditions, and even the most pronounced growth markets in
recent years are now experiencing contraction, including Brazil (-8.9%), Russia (-7.2%),
India (-0.8%), Thailand (-23%) and Argentina (-34.3%).

These large assembly markets are also the most dominant in terms of sales,
where transaction prices remain high. The lure of additional profit through extended
retail and service networks, and aftermarket / accessories opportunities highlight the
need for sector participants to focus on both emerging areas as well as mature.

The macroeconomic environment in China has remained tepid headed into the
final quarter of 2014, with talk of stimulus measures to help revive the market. Given
this context, the sustained growth in new light vehicle sales is even more impressive,
reaching 13.6 million units through August. MPVs continue to drive much of the
momentum, growing 47.5% year to date when compared to the first eight months of
2013.

11
 OVERVIEW OF INDIAN MARKET:

The automobile industry is one of the key drivers that boost the economic growth
of the country. Since the de-licensing of the sector in 1991 and the subsequent opening
up of 100 percent FDI through automatic route, Indian automobile sector has come a
long way. Today, almost every global auto major has set up facilities in the country.

The world standing for the Indian automobile sector, as per the Confederation of the
Indian industry is as follows:

Largest three-wheeler market

Second largest two-wheeler market
Tenth largest passenger car market
Fourth largest tractor market
Fifth largest commercial vehicle market
Fifth largest bus and truck segment

However, the year 2013-2014 has seen a decline in the industrys otherwise smooth-
running growth. High inflation, soaring interest rates, low consumer sentiment and rising
fuel prices along with economic slowdown are the major reason for the downturn of the
industry.

MAJOR PRODUCTS OF THE COMPANY:

1. TATA NANO:

Announced as the most affordable production car in the world, Tata aimed for a price
of one lakh rupees, or 100,000, Tata Motors announced in 2006 that the Nano would
be manufactured in Singur, West Bengal. Local farmers soon began protesting the
forced acquisition of their land the new factory entailed. Tata first delayed the Nano
launch and later decided to build the car in a different state, Gujarat, instead.

2. TATA BOLT:

14
Tata Bolt is a new hatchback created by Tata Motors under its Falcon programme. The
car was revealed at Indian Auto Expo 2014 along with its sedan version, the Tata Zest.
The car is expected to be launched in Indian markets in the latter half of 2014 after the
launch of its sedan version. The diesel version of Tata Bolt will be fitted with 1.3-litre
quadrajet diesel engine which is already being used on Indica Vista and Manza where
as the petrol version of Tata Bolt will be powered by a new 1.2-litre turbocharged, 89
bhp engine. The new car is based on existing platforms on which Vista and Manza are
built. Tata Bolt will be built at Tata Motor's Pimpri-Chinchwad plant alongside the Tata
.
Vista and the Tata Indica

3. TATA VISTA:

The Tata Indica Vista can be considered as the new, improved version of this really
popular car. Tata Indica has sold a lot of units in the country, and the country's premium
car manufacturer realized that it was high time that they improved the car, so that the
net is cast wider. The Tata Indica Vista managed to cater to a wider range of consumers
and it come fitted with lot of different features as well.

15
4. TATA INDICA:

The Tata Indica is a supermini car produced by the Indian manufacturer Tata Motors
since 1998. It is the first passenger car from Tata Motors and it is also considered
India's first indigenously developed passenger car. As of August 2008, more than
910,000 units were produced and the platform had spawned off close to 1.2 million
vehicles. The annual sales of Indica has been as high as 144,690 units in 200607. As
of July 2009, monthly sales of Indica were around 8000 units. The models have also
been exported to Europe, Africa and other countries since late in 2004.

5. TATA MANZA:

16
Tata Manza is next generation sedan from the Indian car company Tata Motors Limited.
[2]
The Tata Manza is also known as The Club Class Sedan. There are eight variants
available currently, four each in petrol and diesel.

Manza was first launched on 14 October 2009. It was made available in 4 variants
namely Aqua, Aura, Aura ABS and Elan, Aqua being the entry level variant and Elan
being the top most variant. In October 2012, Manza was re-launched as Manza Club
Class.

6. TATA WINGER

The Winger is offered in six variants and two seating configuration: long or short
wheelbase, high and low roof versions and also specialised ambulance and school bus
versions, as well as the plain panel van. The top of the range is a flat roof, air-
conditioned variant is a ten-seater, while the remaining five versions are offered as
either 13 or 14 seaters, taking the total number of variants to 11.

The Winger is powered by a modified version of the 2.0 litre diesel engine that is
currently offered on the Tata sumo. This 1948 cc engine comes with a turbo-charged,
inter-cooled (TCIC) version in all the variants, except in the smaller length, entry-level
Winger van. The non-turbo-charged version of the engine develops a peak power of 68
PS (50 kW) compared to the 90 PS (66 kW) that the TCIC version puts out. The Winger
meets Bharat Stage III emission standards, except for the base variant, which is BS-II
compliant

17
7. TATA ACE ZIP

After the runaway success of Tata Ace, Tata Motors decided to launch a truck smaller
than the Ace and at the price point of the three-wheeled goods carriers. It was to be a
simple design with truck-like aggregates and was to replace the anachronistic three-
wheeled cargo auto rickshaws in the Indian market. After the success of tata ace and
incorporation of the customer/user feedback, Tata has come up with a new ace in Tata
Ace Zip.

8. TATA PRIMA:

Tata Daewoo (officially Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company and formerly
Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company) is a commercial vehicle manufacturer

18
headquartered in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Tata Motors. It is the second-largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in South
Korea and was acquired by Tata Motors in 2004. The principal reasons behind the
acquisition were to reduce Tata's dependence on the Indian commercial vehicle market
(which was responsible for around 94% of its sales in the MHCV segment and around
84% in the light commercial vehicle segment) and expand its product portfolio by
leveraging on Daewoo's strengths in the heavy-tonnage sector.

Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks such as Novus and
World Truck and buses including GloBus and StarBus. In 2012, Tata began developing
a new line to manufacture competitive and fuel-efficient commercial vehicles to face the
competition posed by the entry of international brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo,
and Navistar into the Indian market.

 PART: 2
PRIMARY STUDY

INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY:

Profitability is the primary goal of all business ventures. Without profitability the business
will not survive in the long run. So measuring current and past profitability and projecting
future profitability is very important.

Profitability is measured with income and expenses. Income is money generated from
the activities of the business. For example, if crops and livestock are produced and sold,
income is generated. However, money coming into the business from activities like
borrowing money does not create income. This is simply a cash transaction between
the business and the lender to generate cash for operating the business or buying
assets.

Expenses are the cost of resources used up or consumed by the activities of the
business. For example, seed corn is an expense of a farm business because it is used
up in the production process. A resource such as a machine whose useful life is more
than one year is used up over a period of years. Repayment of a loan is not an
expense; it is merely a cash transfer between the business and the lender.

Profitability is measured with an income statement. This is essentially a listing of

income and expenses during a period of time (usually a year) for the entire business. An
Income Statement is traditionally used to measure profitability of the business for the
past accounting period. However, a pro forma income statement measures projected
profitability of the business for the upcoming accounting period. A budget may be used
when you want to project profitability for a particular project or a portion of a business.

LITERATURE REVIEW:

Horne and Wachowicz, (2000) Working capital is an important tool for growth and
profitability for corporations. If the levels of working capital are not enough, it could lead
to shortages and problems with the day-to-day operations.

Lazards and Tryfonidis (2006) investigated the relationship of corporate profitability

and working capital management for firms listed at Athens Stock Exchange. They
reported that there is statistically significant relationship between profitability measured
by gross operating profit
And the Cash Conversion Cycle. Furthermore, Managers can create profit by correctly
handling the individual components of working capital to an optimal level.

Shah and Sana (2006) used Avery small sample of 7 oil and gas sector firms to
investigate this relationship for period 2001-2005.The results suggested that managers
can generate positive return for the shareholders by effectively managing working
capital.

Ganesan (2007) selected telecommunication equipment industry to study the

effectiveness of working capital management. The sample included for his research
paper included 443annual financial statements of 349telecommunication equipment
companies covering the period 2001 to 2007. The statistical tests used included
correlation, regression analyses and Analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed
those days of the working capital negatively affects the profitability of these firms but in
reality it does not affect the transportability of firms in telecommunication equipment
industry.

Sen. M (2009) examined the ISE (Istanbul Stock Exchange) listed firms and checked
out the relationship with the working capital. According to them there is negative

22
relationship among variables. His research uncovered the importance of the finance
directors who act as moderators or catalysts to increase the productivity of the firm in
other words they positively affect the firms performance.

23
PROBLEM STATEMENT:

There are so many industries contributing to economic development of nation and

morden automobiles operations touch almost every sphere of economic activity. They
have far reaching consequences on economic development of country. Automobile
sector is one of the leading industries in manufacturing sector.

Although the automobile sector is working effectively it does have to face many
problems. One of the major problems faced by the automobile sector is inconsistency in
the profit they earn. It is necessary to major the profitability of the organization which is
affected by various factors. Profit is the motive of every organization that needs to be
cared. Thus, it becomes necessary for every company to know its current trend of profit
earned.

In this context my research work is aligned towards measuring profitability of TATA

MOTORS LTD. through various ratios based on the financial data of last five years.

Explanation:
The regression and the correlation of this is very highly positively correlated which
is 0.99.

Another reason for this if there would be increase in return on net worth there is
also increase in the net profit margin.

RESULTS & FINDINGS:

In year 2010 the company having the gross profit margin 33.46 which is highest
but after a while there is decrease in that because there was not a proportionate
change in gross profit in comparison of net sales of the company.
Operating profit margin represents pure profit of the company. It increase
negatively from 11.4 to 2.56 for the given period which is bad indication of the
company performance.
Net profit margin which measures how profitable a companys sales are after
deducting all expenses interest, taxes & preferred stock dividends declines from
6.33 to 0.97 during the given period, which implies lower level of profitability of
company.
Return on total assets is a pure measure of the efficiency of a company in
generating returns from its assets. So here there are declines from 7.13 to 0.99
during the given period, which shows negativity of the profitability of the
company.
Return on net worth which measures the returns earned on the common stock
holders investment in the company which is decrease from 15.14 to 1.74 within
given period. This indication reflects the bad performance of the management on
the invested financial resources.
The overall performance of TATA motors regarding profitability was bad, the
companys customer base has been growing, and it has been declining earning
an acceptable return on invested capital.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:

This is study had the following limitation:

Financial statements are based upon part performance and part events which
can only be guides to the extent they can reasonably be considered as dues to
the future.

Here we have taken only one company so it is not proper and it is inadequate.

We have done the analysis only for the last five years which will not represent the
whole profitability of the company.

Ratios do not provide a definite answer to financial problems. There is always the
question of judgment as to what significance should be given to the figures.
Thus, one must rely upon ones own good sense in selecting and evaluating the
ratios.

Here we have taken only one company so it is not proper thing to do the analysis
so it is one the limitation of this.

It is always a challenging job to find an adequate standard. The conclusions

drawn from the ratios can be no better than the standards against which they are
compared.

CONCLUSION & SUGGESTIONS:

The sales revenue of the TATA motors ltd was high, but it was observed that the
gross profit margin of the company was not increasing as per or there was not
proportionate change in that as compare to net sales.
Operating profit which represents the profit earned from producing and selling
product was also low as compared to the sales volume of the company.
Therefore, the company needs to reduce its expenses to be able to pay its debts
and gain more earnings after taxes.

Net profit margin which measures how profitable a companys sales are after
deducting all expenses interest, taxes & preferred stock dividends declines from
6.33 to 0.97 during the given period, which implies lower level of profitability of
company.
Earning taxes, which are available for common stockholders, were also low as
compared to the sales volume of the company. This is due to effect of high
expenses on the cost of goods sold and other expenses.
Finally the company is loss making or rather we can say decreasing their
profitability but they have good future opportunities, it has took carefully at
controlling the costs of goods sold and reduce its expenses to avoid facing
difficult financial conditions in the future.
