Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and present data, but with the goal of

making financial forecasts. There are several possible objectives:

 to conduct a company stock valuation and predict its probable price evolution,
 to make a projection on its business performance,
 to evaluate its management and make internal business decisions

Fundamental analysis maintains that markets may misprice a security in the short
run but that the "correct" price will eventually be reached. Profits can be made by
trading the mispriced security and then waiting for the market to recognize its
"mistake" and reprice the security.

Fundamental analysis includes:

1. Economic analysis
2. Industry analysis
3. Company analysis

On the basis of these three analyses the intrinsic value of the shares are determined.
This is considered as the true value of the share. If the intrinsic value is higher than the
market price it is recommended to buy the share . If it is equal to market price hold the
share and if it is less than the market price sell the shares.

Finally, with the reduction in average inflation and inflation volatility, since the mid-
1990s, tolerance for high inflation has come down.

The moderation of inflation trend has had several beneficial effects in terms of lower
nominal interest rate and high GDP growth rate

Given the remarkable stability in the inflation rate since the mid- 1990s, it is important
to persevere with appropriate policy responses so that the high inflation seen in the
recent months does not get entrenched.

Even if the trigger for inflation is from supply side, its persistence necessitates
monetary policy responses to bring the inflation rate back to its trend and anchor
inflationary expectations.

Despite economic slowdown that has affected the automobile industry, production and
exports of the sector went up last fiscal, said the Economic Survey
2008-09
Passenger car sales grew by 0.31% in FY09 ,various tax relief policies, easy

According to SIAM, the total automobile sales in the domestic market was reported
1114157 units in January , increasing by 44.9% while for the same period last year
7,68,698 units were reported sold.

Car sales in January saw a growth of 32% as it was reported 145000 units in the first
month of 2010. The data for car sales surprised the analysts as it beats the previous
best of 133000 sales recorded in November 2009, according to the data released by
SIAM.

While analysts in the industry see the low interest rates for car loans and economic
recovery as important factors for this growth. Analysts also said fear of a hike in taxes in
the Union Budget also aided the growth. Now the expectations are there by the industry
experts that the total domestic industry will end the current financial year at over 11
million units, which will be a growth of 22.6% over 2008-09.

Following a temporary setback on account of the global economic recession, the Indian
automobile market has once again picked up a remarkable momentum witnessing a
buoyant sale for the first time in its history in the month of September 2009.

Recently, the automotive giants of India including General Motors (GM), Volkswagen,
Honda, and Hyundai, have declared significant expansion plans. On account of its huge
market potential, a very low base of car ownership in the country estimated at about 25
per 1,000 people, and a rapidly surging economy, the nation is firmly set on its way to
become an outsourcing platform for a number of global auto companies

One can say that the automobile industry in the country has occupied a solid space in
the platform of Indian economy. Empowered by its present growth, today the
automobile industry in the country can produce a diverse range of vehicles
