PART 1:
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 industry’s 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 COMPANIES IN INDUSTRY:

 Mahindra & Mahindra


 Ashok Leyland
 General motors’ India
 Bajaj auto
 Force motor
 Volkswagen group sales India private limited

 Audi Ag
 Skoda auto

 Fiat automobiles
 Premier automobiles limited
 Tata motors limited

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 2006–07. 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. The Tata Manza is also known as The Club Class Sedan. [2] 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.

Lazard’s 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 firm’s performance.

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.

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 company’s 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 holder’s
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 company’s
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 one’s 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.

38
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 company’s 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.
