INDUSTRIES
The report elucidates facts about the Indian Tyre Industry, supplemented by latest statistical
data and comprehensive analysis.
Emphasis is laid on the following key subject matters to accomplish the report
The characteristics of the industry (raw material intensity, cyclicality, competition, wide
distribution network, capital intensity, low bargaining power, branding, technology
requirements, margins and duty structure) and its demand drivers (vehicle production &
population, regulatory norms, retreading of tyres etc.).

Financial profi le, international forays, expansion plans of the top fi ve players along with
the details of corporate actions by other global and local players in India.
The Indian Tyre Industry produced 736 lakh units of tyres (11 lakh tonnes) garnering Rs.
19,000 crores in FY 07. MRF Ltd. was the market leader (22% market share) followed closely
by Apollo Tyres Ltd. (21%). The other major players were JK Tyre & Industries Ltd (18%) and
Ceat Ltd. (13%). The industry tonnage production registered a 5 year CAGR of 9.69% between
FY 02-07¬.
Truck & Bus tyre category (accounting for 57% of the tonnage production) recorded a 5 year
CAGR of 7.85% (a rate slower than that of the industry) while Light Commercial Vehicle
(LCV), Motorcycle and Car tyre categories grew at 15%, 16% and 14% respectively (at rates
faster than that of the industry). Off the road (OTR) tyres (customized tyres which fetch a
higher margin compared to other tyres) category is growing at a fast pace. The OTR tyre
category registered a 5 year CAGR of over 20% in the last five years. Most of the top players
are increasing their capacity for the production of OTR tyres so as to improve their product mix,
for e.g. CEAT Ltd. is increasing its OTR capacity at its Nasik plant from 60,000 to 1,00,000
tyres by end 2008, JK Tyre & Industries is expanding its OTR capacity from 25,000 tyres to
42,000 tyres by end 2008, even smaller player like Falcon tyres is making its foray into the
OTR category.
The exports from the country clocked a CAGR of 13% in unit terms and 18% in value terms in
the period FY 02¬07. Most of these tyres that are exported are of cross ply design. With
radialisation catching up in some of these markets, the manufacturers will need to graduate to
radial tyres so as to protect their share in the export market. Radialisation of tyres is still
minimal in India. Only the car tyre market has moved to radial tyres (95%) but in all other
categories cross ply tyres are still preferred. Poor road conditions, overloading in trucks, higher
initial cost of radial tyres and poor awareness levels in tyre users are the main reasons for the
non transition of the domestic market to radial tyres. However, going ahead, radialisation in
truck & bus tyres may increase due to government’s focus on infrastructure development.
CARE Research expects the tyre industry to register a tonnage growth of 9¬10% in the next
five years (FY 07¬12). The truck & bus and LCV tyre category are expected to register a
CAGR of 8% and 14% respectively (FY 07¬12).

Background
The origin of the Indian Tyre Industry dates back to 1926 when Dunlop Rubber Limited set up
the first tyre company in West Bengal. MRF followed suit in 1946. Since then, the Indian tyre
industry has grown rapidly.
Transportation industry and tyre industry go hand in hand as the two are interdependent.
Transportation industry has experienced 10% growth rate year after year with an absolute level
of 870 billion ton freight. With an extensive road network of 3.2 million km, road accounts for
over 85% of all freight movement in India.
Market Characteristics
Demand
The demand for tyres can be classified in terms of:
▪ Type: Bus and Truck; Scooter; Motorcycle; Passenger Car; Tractor
▪ Market: OEM; Replacement; Export
Environment Analysis - Porter's Model
The Indian tyre industry produces the complete range of tyres required by the Indian automotive
industry, except for aero tyres and some specialised tyres. Domestic manufacturers produce
tyres for trucks, buses, passenger cars, jeeps, light trucks, tractors (front, rear and trailer),
animal drawn vehicles, scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles and off-the-road vehicles and
special defence vehicles.
The scenario in India stands in sharp contrast to that in the world tyre market, where car tyres
(including light trucks) have the major share (88%) by volume followed by truck tyres (12%).
In India, however, passenger car tyres have a mere 17% share of the overall tyre market (as of
FY2003).
Compiled by INGRES
Truck and Bus Tyres
The truck and bus tyre segment accounted for 19% of tyres produced in India in FY2003. Every
truck/bus manufactured generates a demand for seven tyres (six regular and one spare) as
against three in the case of two-wheelers and five for passenger cars. In addition, the price of a
truck tyre is significantly higher than that of a passenger car tyre (roughly 10 times) or a
motorcycle tyre. Thus the demand multiple emanating from the commercial vehicle segment is
highest in value terms.
Given the regular use and heavy wear and tear of truck and bus tyres, the demand from the
replacement market in this segment worked out to 68% of the total demand for truck and bus
tyres in FY2003; the OEM demand accounted for around 9% the same year. With the Indian
manufacturers of cross-ply tyres focusing on the export market, this segment accounts for
around 22% of the demand for truck and bus tyres.
The passenger car tyre segment accounted for 17% of all tyres produced in India in FY2003.
With passenger car production witnessing a growth of 12% in FY2003 over the previous year,
OEM demand accounted for about 33% of the total sales that year. The replacement market
accounted for around 63% of the total sales of passenger car tyres in FY2003. Exports
accounted for 4% of the total passenger car tyre demand in FY2003. With the stock of cars
increasing, replacement demand is likely to continue.
Motorcycle Tyres
Motorcycles accounted for 76% of two-wheelers sold in the domestic market in FY2003.
Motorcycle tyres constitute the largest segment of the domestic tyre industry (29% of total tyre
demand in FY2003). The replacement market accounted for around 49.8% of the total
motorcycle tyres sold in FY 2003, while OEM demand accounted for around 50%.
Scooter Tyres
Scooters were the dominant segment in the Indian two-wheeler industry till FY1998,
accounting for around 42% of domestic two-wheeler sales. However, the introduction of new
motorcycle models has seen the share of scooters declining to 19% of domestic two-wheeler
sales in FY2003. The OEM segment accounted for around 34% of the total sales in the scooter
tyre segment in FY2003, with the rest being accounted for by the replacement market.
The demand from the OEM segment is a derived one and directly correlated to the level of
automotive production. The OEMs demand varies significantly across categories from between
8% for truck and bus tyres to over 50% for some other segments like, jeeps and mopeds.
Replacement Market
The replacement market, including State transport undertakings and Government buying,
accounted for around 59% of the total tyre demand in FY2003. The demand in the replacement
market depends on the vehicle population, the level of economic activity, life of the products
transported, kilometreage per vehicle, the price of the tyres and the quality of the existing road
infrastructure. Additionally, the replacement market, which offers better margins, is extremely
competitive. The replacement market is dominated by the truck and buses segment, which
accounted for 22% of all tyre sales in the replacement market in FY2003.The large size of the
replacement in turn is determined by the interplay of various factors as discussed below:
▪ The replacement demand may be lower because of longer replacement intervals and lower
business mileage if the economic activity slows down.
▪ Replacement demand in India is higher because of a low vehicle scrappage rate.
▪ Poor road conditions by lowering the life of tyres, have a positive impact on replacement
demand.
▪ Stricter enforcement of the MV Act, which seeks to prevent overloading of vehicles, will
result in an increase in the life of tyres and thus impact replacement demand negatively.
▪ Applying a new tread or "re-treading" can extend the life of the tyre at a significantly lower
cost, thereby lowering replacement demand. In India, re-treading finds greater acceptance in
the commercial segment.
▪ Radialisation of tyres is likely to result in lower replacement demand. While car radialisation
in the country has reached a level of 65%, truck and bus radialisation stands at just 2-10%.
Poor road and support infrastructure as well as traditional vehicle designs act as a barrier to
radialisation in the commercial vehicle segment. Radial technology for trucks and buses
would help increase operating efficiencies by delivering better mileage and minimising wear
and tear. According to ATMA, even if only 25% of the truck and bus segment is radialised,
the savings in fuel costs would be around Rs. 7,500 million.
▪ Introduction of tubeless tyres in the passenger car segment is also likely to affect replacement
demand adversely.
▪ Introduction of eco-friendly radial tyres such as hyper-bonding silica technology in the
passenger car segment may affect replacement demand adversely.
Exports
In the light of the prevailing domestic market situation, most of the tyre manufacturers have
taken to exports to reduce inventory build-ups. In FY2003, Indian tyre exports stood at Rs. 10.8
billion (10% of the total industry) in value terms and 3.1 million in unit terms (6.5% of total
production). Indian companies have currently entered into sourcing agreements (for tyres) with
neighbouring countries. For instance, Ceat and J K Tyres have sourcing agreements with tyre
producers in Sri Lanka and China. This is likely to have a positive impact on tyre exports from
India.
Market Players
Some of the major players in the Indian tyre industry are MRF, Ceat, JK Industries, Apollo
Tyres, Bridgestone India, Goodyear India, Falcon Tyres and TVS Srichakra. The tyre industry
in India is fairly concentrated, with the sample of eight companies (as in the text) accounting for
82% of production in FY2002. Besides, not all companies have a diversified product portfolio.
Key Issues
The high tax content on tyres can be gauged from the fact that the percentage of total tax to the
tax excluded price for various categories of tyres is - 44% for Truck Tyre; 41% for Passenger
Car Radial Tyre, 35% for Tractor Rear Tyre and 76% for Truck Tyre Tube.
Apart from being capital intensive, the tyre industry is highly raw material intensive. Any
change in the prices of raw materials affects the profitability of tyre companies. The raw
materials used in the manufacture of tyres are rubber and petroleum derivatives like nylon tyre
cord, carbon black, styrene butadiene rubber and poly butadiene rubber. The most important
raw material is rubber-natural and synthetic. Natural rubber (NR), with 29% weightage in the
cost of raw materials used by tyre industry, is the highest cost item. Annual consumption of NR
by tyre industry is 3.50 lakh tonnes, valued at Rs. 14 billion. Over 85% of NR consumed' by the
industry is procured domestically. 15% is imported.
In the 2003-04 fiscal, as against the Minimum Statutory Price of Rs. 32.0 per kg, the ruling
domestic price of NR had been over Rs. 50 per kg. This is higher than the world rubber prices.
However, this does not entail the tyre industry players to import as a number of restrictions are
imposed on the import of NR. NR can be imported only through two ports-Kolkata &
Visakhapatnam. The customs duty on import of natural rubber is 20%, with 10% under
Bangkok Agreement. However, this is not relevant, as NR is not cultivated in South Korea,
Bangladesh & China (signatories under the Bangkok Agreement). Hence, NR can be sourced
only from Sri Lanka (under the Indo-Sri Lanka Agreement), which is of bad quality. Thus, the
options of rubber import are restricted and the manufacturers have to rely on the domestic
market for procuring rubber.
Import of tyres
During the FY2002, over 1,10,000 passenger car tyres were imported. Although this constitutes
a small percentage (1.5%) of total passenger car tyre production in the country, since total
imports are of radial passenger car tyres, the percentage is higher when compared against
domestic production of radial passenger car tyres. A large percentage of imports are from South
Korea at a concessional rate of customs duty (i.e. 15%) under the Bangkok Agreement - as
against 20% normal rate of customs duty.
Even though the Government has imposed a restraint on the import of used tyres into India,
occasionally there are reports of import of such tyres in a clandestine manner, sometimes as
new tyre at low value, since there is no restriction on import of new tyres or as tyres under the
"others" category. Many countries such as Japan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand,
Kenya, South Korea, etc. have either put a complete ban on import of used tyres or have placed
stringent conditions on such imports.
Tyre Exports
The product focus of tyre exports from India has been Traditional Truck Tyres. Globally this
segment of tyre export is shrinking due to greater acceptance of radial tyres. Over the years,
China has emerged as a major exporter in bias tyre category. Additionally, export of Indian
tyres to select countries is subjected to non-tariff barriers (NTBs) by way of standards, tests, etc.
Export of cheaper tyres from China to major tyre importing markets, like US, is adversely
affecting Indian tyre exports to these markets. India's share in exports to these countries
(especially USA) is progressively declining. If the trend is not reversed, Indian tyre industry
will find it extremely difficult to regain its erstwhile position in these markets. Low rate of
interest, cheaper electricity tariff, hidden subsidies by the Chinese Government, better
infrastructure facilities and lower transaction costs are factors favourable to Chinese tyre
industry.
The total tyre produced in the country was 51.58 million units in FY2003 - a 19% growth rate
over FY2002.
FY 1993-2003
9%FY 1993-1998 7%
FY 1999-2003 9%
FY 2002-2003 19%
Compiled by INGRES
Currently, the size of the Indian tyre industry is estimated at Rs. 128 billion (0.5% of Indian
GDP), as of FY2003. The total installed capacity of the Indian tyre industry is around 60.5 mn
units, and the capacity utilisation is around 85%. The capacity utilisation improved in FY2003
following improved demand from the automotive segment (75% in FY2001). Additionally, in
FY2003, the price realisation of tyre manufacturers also registered an increase by 8%, as against
a 0.6% increase in FY2002.
The demand for tyres is either in the domestic market or in the export market. As far as
domestic demand is concerned, the OEM and the replacement segments are likely to witness
strong growth given the current performance of the automotive sector. Given the strong
linkages of tyre industry with automotives, its demand is likely to be strong over the short to
medium term. As for the export demand for tyres, the outlook is positive, even though some
downsides remain.
As regards supply of tyres, currently, the major players are in the process of expanding their
capacities, in anticipation of uptrend in sales. For instance, Apollo Tyres has set up a joint
venture with Michelin for manufacture and sale of bus and truck radials. JK is expanding its
Mysore truck and bus radial facility along with eyeing acquisitions of smaller units. Ceat has
increased its offtake by 3 times from Pirelli. However, a characteristic of the Indian tyre
industry is that most of the tyre manufacturers in the past had increased capacities in
anticipation of a surge in demand, but when it did not materialise, they reduced their addition to
capacities. Thus, the demand-supply gap is likely to be an important issue for the Indian tyre
industry over the short to medium term.
Review of Performance
Overall Performance
The operating margin of the representative sample of tyre companies improved during FY2003.
However, the net profit margin of the tyre companies even though improved, was still at 3%.
Performance in FY2004
The tyre industry continues to be driven by good demand growth, propelled by sustained
uptrend in demand and sales of automobiles in general, and commercial vehicles and passenger
cars in particular. However, this does not get translated into improved margins for the industry,
as it is witnessing sustained rise in prices of raw materials like natural rubber. Additionally, the
customs duty on imports has been brought down from 25% to 20% and Special Additional Duty
of 4% has been dispensed with.
Outlook
The level of economic activity, performance of domestic automotive industry, and the faring of
the transport sector directly influence the performance of the tyre industry in India. With the
replacement segment dominating the overall tyre demand in India, the industry remains
inherently vulnerable to economic cycles. While radialisation has become the norm in the
passenger car segment, in the bus and truck tyre segment, its acceptance is still limited. Bus and
truck radialisation could emerge in the long term as the quality of roads improves and the
restrictions on overloading are better enforced. The practice of re-treading, which is gaining
increasing acceptance, could pose a challenge to replacement demand in the medium term. The
ability of the re-treading sector to capture potential replacement demand would depend on the
awareness among customers (of the benefits of retreading) and also the quality of retreading
done. Given the low levels of penetration of two-wheelers and passenger cars in the country,
OEM demand is likely to increase, which in turn would push up replacement demand with a
lag.
The prospects of tyre exports from India appear healthy, following efforts by Indian companies
to increasingly enter into outsourcing agreements with tyre producers in Southeast Asia, Eastern
Europe and Latin America. Overall, tyre manufacturers are likely to tap the export market in an
effort to boost sales. The increasing exports of bus and truck tyres (crossply variety) from India
to developing countries is because of the fact that developing countries are unable to source
them from developed countries as these are no more produced there. Tyre imports are unlikely
to pose a threat to the domestic industry, given that domestic prices are lower than international
tyre prices.
In the domestic market, tyre manufacturers are expected to increasingly focus on expanding
their dealership networks & explore possibilities of tie-ups among themselves to penetrate the
growing customer base. They are also likely to pursue innovative measures (such as "dial-a-tyre
service and road shows) to improve customer awareness.
The consolidation of the Indian tyre industry is likely to continue in the coming years through
mergers among existing players. The industry is likely to expand through a combination of
organic and inorganic growth. While organic growth would come from raising efficiency levels,
inorganic growth would be achieved through alliances and M&As.
Tyre industry
The tyre industry has witnessed a CAGR of 8.3% over the last decade mainly fuelled by the
strong growth in the domestic auto industry. Though the replacement market has driven the
industry growth for long time, the OEM market has seen a robust growth over the last couple
of years.
The industry is highly capital intensive, as it requires around Rs4bn to setup a radial tyre
plant with a capacity of 1.5mn tyres and around Rs1.5-2bn for a crossply tyre plant of a
capacity to manufacture 1.5mn tyres.
The profitability of the industry has high correlation with the prices of key raw materials
such as rubber and crude oil as they account for more than 70% of the total costs. The
raw material to sales ratio in the industry is around 65%.
The industry has high entry barriers because of its capital intensive nature and low
operating margins. With demand increasing at a steady pace, the industry is expected to
go through a consolidation phase.
The industry is dominated by four players viz MRF, Apollo Tyres, JK Industries and Ceat
and enjoys more than 70% of the total market share.
The fortunes of the industry are linked to the trend in the domestic auto industry,
retreading, trend in road transportation and spending on road infrastructure.
The companies have lined up further expansion plans to meet the increasing demand.
The report elucidates facts about the Indian Tyre Industry, supplemented by latest statistical
data and comprehensive analysis.Emphasis is laid on the following key subject matters to
accomplish the report.The characteristics of the industry (raw material intensity, cyclicality,

The Indian Tyre Industry produced 736 lakh units of tyres (11 lakh tonnes) garnering Rs.
19,000 crores in FY 07. MRF Ltd. was the market leader (22% market share) followed closely
by Apollo Tyres Ltd. (21%). The other major players were JK Tyre & Industries Ltd (18%) and
Ceat Ltd. (13%). The industry tonnage production registered a 5 year CAGR of 9.69% between
FY 02-07¬.
Truck & Bus tyre category (accounting for 57% of the tonnage production) recorded a 5 year
CAGR of 7.85% (a rate slower than that of the industry) while Light Commercial Vehicle
(LCV), Motorcycle and Car tyre categories grew at 15%, 16% and 14% respectively (at rates
faster than that of the industry). Off the road (OTR) tyres (customized tyres which fetch a
higher margin compared to other tyres) category is growing at a fast pace. The OTR tyre
category registered a 5 year CAGR of over 20% in the last five years. Most of the top players
are increasing their capacity for the production of OTR tyres so as to improve their product mix,
for e.g. CEAT Ltd. is increasing its OTR capacity at its Nasik plant from 60,000 to 1,00,000
tyres by end 2008, JK Tyre & Industries is expanding its OTR capacity from 25,000 tyres to
42,000 tyres by end 2008, even smaller player like Falcon tyres is making its foray into the
OTR category.
The exports from the country clocked a CAGR of 13% in unit terms and 18% in value terms in
the period FY 02¬07. Most of these tyres that are exported are of cross ply design. With
radialisation catching up in some of these markets, the manufacturers will need to graduate to
radial tyres so as to protect their share in the export market. Radialisation of tyres is still
minimal in India. Only the car tyre market has moved to radial tyres (95%) but in all other
categories cross ply tyres are still preferred. Poor road conditions, overloading in trucks, higher
initial cost of radial tyres and poor awareness levels in tyre users are the main reasons for the
non transition of the domestic market to radial tyres. However, going ahead, radialisation in
truck & bus tyres may increase due to government’s focus on infrastructure development.
Research expects the tyre industry to register a tonnage growth of 9¬10% in the next five years
(FY 07¬12). The truck & bus and LCV tyre category are expected to register a CAGR of 8%
and 14% respectively (FY 07¬12).
The Indian Tyre Industry is Expected to Register a Growth of 9-10% in the Next 5 Years

The Indian tyre industry is characterized by its raw material intensity (raw material costs
account for approximately 70% of operating income), capital intensity, cyclicality, fierce
competition among the top players, low bargaining power and resulting low margins. The top
players are now focusing on branding their products and strengthening their distribution
network so as to increase their market share.
The industry derives its demand from the automobile Industry. While OEM market offtake is
dependent on the new vehicle sales, replacement market demand depends on the total
population of vehicles on road, road conditions, vehicle scrapping rules, overloading norms for
trucks, average life of tyres and prevalence of tyre retreading.
The main category of tyres produced in the country is that of Truck & Bus tyres. These tyres
accounted for 57% of the total tyre tonnage production in FY07 followed by LCV tyres which
accounted for 9% of the total tyre tonnage production. Approximately 53% of the total tyre
tonnage offtake was by the replacement market, 31% by OEM and 15% by the export market in
FY07.
The industry tonnage production registered a 5 year CAGR of 9.69% between FY 02-07. The
largest category of Truck & Bus tyres recorded a 5 year CAGR of 7.85% (slower than the
industry) while Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV), motorcycle and car tyre categories grew at
15%, 16% and 14% respectively (faster than the industry). Off the road (OTR) tyre category
(customized tyres) which fetch a higher margin compared to other tyre categories, is the fastest
growing category. The OTR tyre category has registered a 5 year CAGR of over 20% in the last
five years. Most of the top players are increasing their capacity for the production of OTR tyres
so as to improve their product mix, this being a high margin product.
The exports from the country clocked a CAGR of 13% in unit terms and 18% in value terms in
the period FY 02-07. Most of these tyres that are exported are of cross ply design. With
radialisation catching up in some of these markets, the Indian manufacturers will need to
graduate to production and export of radial tyres so as to protect their share in the export
market.
Radialisation of tyres is still minimal in India. Only the car tyre market has moved to radial
tyres (95%) but in all other categories, cross ply tyres are still preferred. Poor road conditions,
overloading in trucks, higher cost of radial tyres and poor awareness of the tyre users are the
main reasons for the non transition of the domestic market to radial tyres. However, going
ahead radialisation in truck & bus tyres may increase due to government's focus on
infrastructure development.

METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology refers to the framework or plan according to which the researcher has to carry out his
activity.
Marketing Research is a systematic and objective process of identifying and formulates the marketing
problems; Setting research objectives and methods for collecting, editing" coding, tabulating,
evaluating, analyzing, interpreting and presenting the various information does it 985 data in order to
find justified solutions for these problems.
Research Methodology is the procedure for conducting the research. It is a way to systematically solve
the problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we
study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher In studying his research problem along
with the logic behind them. If the researcher wants to claim objectivity of His research and wishes to
establish a truth and gain wide /* aceptability than lot of attention has to be devoted to the procedure and
After discussing with the external project guide the topic for the project was selected as:
“Financial analysis of Metro Tyres ltd.”
Questionnaire method
Marketing researchers have the best instrument in collecting primary data i.e. a questionnaire to collect the
data and to establish the view of the people from all the sectors of the society.
Questionnaires are designed to elicit information that meets the studies requirements.
o clear
o easy to understand
o directed towards meeting an objective.
Need to define objectives before designing the questionnaire. Must maintain impartiality and be very
careful with personal data. Four basic types of questions are:
o Open ended
o Dichotomous
o Multiple choice.
o Scaled (lickert)
The questionnaire designed for this project contains open-ended questions. All the questions are clearly
defined. The questions are framed keeping in mind the objective of research and kind of information
required .Sampling method
A sample of 200 people was taken and judgement was done to select the right prospects to secure accurate
information. The sample consisted of people like businessman, doctors, pvt. Company employees.
Contact/Observation method
Record overt behavior, note physical conditions and events. Can be combined with interviews, i.e. get
demographic variables.
Mechanical observation devices, IE cameras, eye movement recorders, scanner technology, Nielsen
techniques for media.
Observation avoids the central problem of survey methods, motivating respondents to state their true feelings
or opinions. If this is the only method, then there is no data indicating the causal relationships.
Primary data
In primary data collection, you collect the data yourself using methods such as interviews and questionnaires.
The key point here is that the data you collect is unique to you and your research and, until you publish, no one
else has access to it.
There are many methods of collecting primary data and the main methods include:
questionnaires
interviews
focus group interviews
observation
case-studies
diaries
critical incidents
portfolios.
Secondary data

A research design is simply a framework for the study that is used as a guide for collecting and analyzing the
data. Decision regarding what, where when, how much, by what means concerning an inquiry or a research
study constitutes a research design. This framework ensures collection and analysis of data in a manner that
aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. In fact, the research design is
the conceptual structure within which research is conducted. It constitutes the blue print for collection,
measurement analyses of data. Research design depends on the purpose of study. Research purpose may be
a) EXPLORATORY RESEARCH: It is also termed as formulate research. The main purpose of such
research is to gain familiarity with a phenomenon or discovery of ideas and insights.
b) DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH: These are studies, which are concerned with describing the
characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group.
c) DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH STUDIES: These studies determine the frequency with which something
occurs or with which it is associated with something else.
d) HYPOTHESIS TESTING RESEARCH STUDIES: These are concerned with testing a hypothesis of
a causal relationship between variables.
TYPE OF RESEARCH
SAMPLE DESIGN
All items in any field of study constitute the UNIVERSE. In any study it is almost impossible to
examine the entire universe. The only alternative that is best, suitable and economical is to resort to sample.
'This is absolute for present study. The basic principle, which is followed is that the sample chosen should be
A SAMPLE DESIGN is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to
the technique or the procedure the researchers would adopt in selecting items for the sample. Sample design
may as well lay down the number of items to be included in the sample i.e. the size of sample and also the
sampling units. Sampling units implies the unit of sample considered and the unit of inquiry
There are different types of sample designs based on two factors viz., REPRES.ENTATION BASIS and,
Probability sampling is based on random selection and in this every element in the universe has an equal

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
o Financial analysis is the process of determining the significant operating and financial characteristics of
a firm from accounting data and financial statements
o The goal of such analysis is to determine the efficiency and performance of the firm’s management, as
reflected in the financial records and reports.
o The analyst attempts to measure the firm’s liquidity, profitability and other indication that business is
conducted in a rational and orderly way.
o If a firm does not achieve financial norms for its industry or relationships among data that seem
reasonable, the analysts note the deviations. The burden of explaining the apparent problems may then
be placed upon management.
Managers, shareholders, creditors, tax authorities and other interested groups seek answers to the following
important questions about the firm:
# How did the firm perform financially over a given period of time?
The firm itself and outside providers of capital — creditors and investors — all undertake financial statement
analysis. The type of analysis varies according to the specific interests of the party involved. Trade creditors
(suppliers owed money for goods and services) are primarily interested in the liquidity of the firm. Their claims
are short term, and the ability of the firm to quickly pay these claims is best judged by the analysis of the firm’s
liquidity. The long term lenders on the other hand accordingly are more interested in the cash flow ability of the
firm to service debt over a long period of time. They evaluate this ability by analyzing the capital structure of
the firm, the major sources and uses of funds, the firm’s profitability over the time, and projections of future
profitability. Investors in a company’s common stock are principally concerned with present and expected
future earnings as well as with the stability of these earnings about a trend line. As a result, investors usually
focus on analyzing the profitability of the firm. They would also be concerned with the firm’s financial
condition insofar as it affects the ability of the firm to pay dividends continuously.
All the cases described so far have involved suppliers of capital. Therefore, the analysis has taken an
external point of view. Internally, management also employs financial analysis for the purpose of internal
control and to better provide what capital suppliers seek in financial condition and performance from the
firm. From an internal control standpoint, management needs to undertake financial analysis in order to
plan and control effectively
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial analysis involves the use of various financial statements. A financial statement is a collection of data
organised according to logical and consistent accounting procedures. Its purpose is to convey an understanding
of some financial aspects of a business firm. It may show a position at a moment in time, as in the case of
Balance Sheet (A summary of firm’s financial position on a given date that shows total assets = total liabilities
+ owner’s equity ), or may reveal a series of activities over a given period of time; as in the case of an Income
Statement ( A summary of the firm’s revenues and expenses, over a specified period ending with net income or
loss for the period ), or may show the sources and uses of funds, as in the case of Fund Flow Statement (A
summary of a firm’s changes in financial position from one period to another).The Income statement, the
statement or retained earnings and the statement of changes of financial position report what has actually
happened to earnings during a specified period. The balance sheet presents a summary of financial position of
the company at a given point of time. The statement of retained earnings reconciles income earned during the
year and any dividends distributed with the change in retained earnings between the start and end of financial
year under study. The statement of changes in financial position provides a summary of funds flowing during
the period of financial statements.
BALANCE SHEET
The balance sheet is the first of the three major financial statements. The balance sheet shows the assets,
liabilities and the equity for the firm as of the last day of the accounting period. In effect, it matches
resources (assets) with sources (liabilities and equity). It is commonly presented in two columns that
illustrate the relationship between assets and the sources of these assets. The assets or resources of the firm
are displayed in the right hand column and the sources of these assets in the left hand column.
INCOME STATEMENT
The income statement, is a report of the firm’s activities during a given accounting period. Firms often
publish income statements showing the results of each quarter, each half year and the full accounting year.
It shows the revenues and expenses of the firm, the effect of interest and taxes, and the net income for the
period. It may be called by other titles, such as the profit-and-loss statement or the statement of earnings. It
is an accounting device designed to show stockholders and creditors whether the firm is making money. It
can also be used as a tool to identify the factors that affect the degree of profitability
A third important financial statement is the flow-of-funds or sources-of- funds statement. This statement
shows the movement of funds into the form’s current asset account from external sources such as
stockholders, creditors and customers. It also shows the movement of funds to meet the firm’s obligations,
retire stock or pay dividends. The movements are shown for a specific period of time, normally the same time
period as the firm’s income statement. The financial manager makes decisions to ensure that the firm has
sufficient funds to meet financial obligations when they are due and to take advantage of financial
opportunities. To help the analyst appraise these decisions (made over a period of time), we need to study the
firm’s “flow of funds”.
Ratio analysis is a very powerful analytical tool for measuring performance of an organization. The ratio
analysis concentrates on the inter-relationship among the figures appearing in the aforementioned four financial
statements. The ratio analysis helps the management to analyze the past performance of the firm and to make
further projections. Ratio analysis allows interested parties like shareholders, investors, creditors, Govt. and
analyst to make an evaluation of certain aspects of a firm’s performance.
Ratio analysis is a process of comparison of one figure against another, which make a ratio, and the
appraisal of the ratios to make proper analysis about the strengths and weaknesses of the firm’s operations.
The calculation of ratios is a relatively easy and simple task but only the skilled analyst can make the proper
analysis and interpretation of the ratios. While interpreting the financial information, the analyst has to be
careful in limitations imposed by the accounting concepts and methods of valuation. Information of non-
financial nature will also be taken into consideration before a meaningful analysis is made.
Ratio analysis is extremely helpful in providing valuable insight into a company’s financial picture. Ratios
normally pinpoint a business strengths and weakness in two ways:
TYPES OF RATIOS
The following classification is based on the financial statements on which ratios are calculated. Thus these are:
Balance Sheet Ratios.
Current Ratio
Liquid Ratio
Proprietary Ratio
Debt Equity Ratio
Stock Working Capital Ratio
However, the above basis of classification is found to be too crude and unsuitable because analysis of balance
sheet and income statement cannot be done in isolation. Therefore they are studied together in order to
determine profitability and solvency of the business.
In order that ratio serves a tool of financial analysis, they are now classified into four important categories.
Liquidity ratios
Solvency/Financial/Leverage ratios
Activity ratios
Profitability ratios
1) CURRENT RATIO:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
2)Interest-coverage ratio
The interest coverage ratio or debt services ratio indicate how much interest charges are covered by operating
profits by operating profits available to pay its interest charges.
INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO= Net income before charging interest and income tax
Periodic interest on long term debts
This ratio measures the effectiveness with which a firm uses financial resources at its disposal.
CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO=Net sales (or) cost of sales (or) cost of goods sold
Capital employed or owners equity
A low ratio may signify that the capital is lying idle or there is a fall in sales revenue.A high ratio indicates that
either the business firm is overtrading to an extent that its financial health is in risk or danger or there is
manipulation in the figures.
Higher the ratio, better it is because it indicates higher efficiency, i.e., every rupee invested in fixed assets
generates higher sales.
3)NET WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO
This ratio computes the requirement of working capital for an expected increase in sales.
NET WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO=Net credit sales
Average debtors
A high ratio indicates efficient use of working capital and quick turnover of these current assets.
A higher stock turnover ratio is desirable because it leads to higher liquidity. It indicates efficient sales
performance.
A low stock turnover ratio indicates that goods are not sell quickly and remains in the godown for a long time.
This will lead to excessive blocking up of working capital in inventories. Moreover, slower stock turnover will
reduce liquidity.
The gross profit ratio is also called the average markup ratio. This ratio expresses relationship between gross
profit and net sales. This ratio indicates the degree to which income per unit may decline without resulting in
losses from operations to the firm. It also helps in ascertaining whether the average percentage of mark up on
the funds is maintained. It is calculated by comparing the gross profit of the firm with the net sales as follows:
GP Ratio= Gross profit x 100
Net sales
Gross profit = Gross income – Interest and other charges.
The operating refers to the pure operating profit of the firm i.e. the profit generated by the operation of the firm
and hence is calculated before considering any financial charge (such as interest payment), non operating
income/ loss and tax liability etc. the operating profit is also termed as the Earning Before Interest and Tax
(EBIT). The Operating Profit ratio may be calculated as follows:
So, the Operating cost = Gross income – Interest and other charges – Staff expenses – Other expenses –
Depreciation
The ROA measures the profitability of the firm in terms of assets employed in the firm. The ROA is calculated
by establishing the relationship between the profits and the assets employed to earn that profit. Usually the
profit of the firm is measured in terms of the net profit after tax and the assets are measured in terms of total
assets or total tangible assets or total fixed assets. Conceptually, the ROA may be measured as follows:
The profitability of the firm can also be analyzed from the point of view of total funds employed in the firm.
The term funds employed or the capital employed refers to the total long-term sources of funds.
The ROE examines profitability from the perspective of equity investors by relating profits available for the
equity shareholders with the book value of equity investment. The return from the point of view of equity
shareholders may be calculated by comparing the net profit less preference dividend with their total contribution
in the firm
PROFITABILITY RATIO
In a business enterprise, profitability is the most important part for a financial institution notwithstanding it is
pre eminently a service oriented industry. It is fundamental truth that revenue must exceed expenditure incurred
in the process of earning that revenue. Profit provides cushion to the financial institution to support its credit
risks and withstand any unforeseeable developments. A profitable financing organization has sufficient
resources in its command to finance its growth and diversification programmes in future.
Profitability ratios are measured with reference to sales, capital employed, total assets employed, shareholders
funds etc. the major profitability rates are as follows:
The gross profit ratio is also called the average markup ratio. This ratio expresses relationship between gross
profit and net sales. This ratio indicates the degree to which income per unit may decline without resulting in
losses from operations to the firm. It also helps in ascertaining whether the average percentage of mark up on
the funds is maintained. It is calculated by comparing the gross profit of the firm with the net sales as follows:
GP Ratio= Gross profit x 100
Net sales
Gross profit = Gross income – Interest and other charges.

NET PROFIT RATIO
The NP ratio establishes the relationship between the net profit (after tax) of the firm and the net sales. The NP
ratio measures the efficiency of the management in generating additional revenue over and above the total cost
of operations. The NP ratio shows the overall efficiency in manufacturing, administrative, selling and
distributing the product.
It may be calculated as follows:
