CHAPTER 2

SWOT
ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS
22

1. Tata Motors excels when it comes to innovation through intensive research

and development. Their ability to make the least expensive car on the market,
the Nano which will retail for $2,500, is far beyond what any other car
dealership has created. This innovation gives Tata Motors their main
competitive advantage. Tata Motors makes everything from tractor-trailers to
the worlds least expensive car. This product diversity grants them a
competitive advantage over their competitors because they can satisfy more
markets and customer needs.
2. Tata Motors possesses is high corporate responsibility. They donate a portion
of their profits from stock increases towards a specific charity. This highlights
Tata Motors overall desire for community improvement while also
emphasizing Tata Motors high morals and values which is something money
can not buy.
3. The company has a strategy in place for the next stage of its expansion. Not
only is it focusing upon new products and acquisitions, but it also has a
programme of intensive management development in place in order to
establish its leadership for tomorrow.
4. Tata Motors is unique in a way in which when it buys a company. Tata Motors
keeps the original management of that company intact. The company that Tata
Motors purchases will look exactly the same in terms of management and
organizational structure as if it was never purchased by Tata Motors.

23

WEAKNESSES

1. The company's passenger car products are based upon 3rd and 4th generation
platforms, which put Tata Motors Limited at a disadvantage with competing car
manufacturers.

2. Another weakness that Tata Motors faces is within its domestic market. Car
sales in India are less than 1 million annually. This draws a problem because
Tata Motors may not get the sales that the company hopes for and how can
they sell cars to people who are not buying cars?
3. One weakness which is often not recognised is that in English the word 'tat'
means rubbish. Would the brand sensitive British consumer ever buy into such
a brand? Maybe not, but they would buy into Fiat, Jaguar and Land Rover.

24

OPPORTUNITIES

1. In the summer of 2008 Tata Motor's announced that it had successfully

purchased the Land Rover and Jaguar brands from Ford Motors for UK 2.3
million. Two of the World's luxury car brand have been added to its portfolio
of brands, and will undoubtedly off the company the chance to market
vehicles in the luxury segments.
2. One of the major opportunities that Tata Motor faces is that as of right now 90
percent of China and Indias adult population do not own cars, partly because
cars are costly and require more expenses after purchased. So the market for a
low-priced car is huge which benefits Tata Motors perfectly since they
produce the lowest priced car on the market. This is a huge opportunity for
Tata Motors because if they can get their feet into that market of people that
do not have cars because they cannot afford them, then they will make large
profits down the road.
3. Japan, North America, and Europe automobile sales went up over the years
because of demand for smaller cars increased. This demand for smaller cars is
a great window of opportunity for Tata Motors because not only are their cars
small, but they are cheap and environmentally friendly as well. Once people in
these countries get Tata Motor automobiles then their automobile sales will
continue to rise.
4. The range of Super Milo fuel efficient buses are powered by super-efficient,
eco-friendly engines. The bus has optional organic clutch with booster assist
and better air intakes that will reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%.

25

THREATS
1. Prices of commodity items like steel, non-ferrous and precious metals and
rubber witnessed an upward movement, which was partially offset by the
Companys cost reduction initiatives. The price of steel, in particular, has
increased by 30% 35% in the last 24 months and is expected to further
increase significantly in the coming year. Whilst the Company continues to
pursue cost reduction initiatives,increase in price of input materials could have
a negative impact on the demand in the domestic market and/or could severely
impact the Companys profitability to the extent that the same are not absorbed
by the market through price realisation.
2. The international crude prices witnessed steep increase from price levels of
$62 per barrel at the beginning to $100-110 per barrel towards the end of the
fiscal. Further hardening of fuel prices would adversely impact the automotive
sales.
3. Growing awareness amongst consumers is driving up expectations from
automobile companies in terms of providing world class features and
technology for which adequate price realization is not always possible.
4. Another main concern that Tata Motors faces is that cheap cars in India will
have an adverse effect on pollution and global warming because most of the
population will be able to afford the cars. With more people driving cars there
will be more accidents and deaths, as well as higher fossil fuels leaked into the
environment causing even more pollution then there already is.

CHAPTER -3

ANALYSIS OF
FINANACIAL
STATEMENTS

Ratio Analysis
29

1. Gross Profit Ratio

Gross profit ratio measures the relationship of gross profit to net sales and is usually
represented as a percentage.

Gross profit ratio = (gross profit / net sales) * 100

For 2007,
Gross profit ratio = (4678.33/40340.79) * 100 = 11.60 %
For 2008,
Gross profit ratio = (4267.58/36922.6) * 100 = 11.56 %
Comments This ratio reflects the efficiency with which a firm produces its
products.
Higher the ratio, better it is.
In 2007, the ratio was 11.60%, which is exceptionally good and in 2008 it declined to
11.56 %, which indicates decrease in profitability.
2. Net Profit Ratio
It measures the relationship of net profit to sales and is usually represented as a
percentage. This is calculated by dividing the net profit by sales.

Net Profit Ratio= (Net Profit / Sales) * 100

For 2007,
Net Profit Ratio = (2234.75/403040.79) * 100 = 5.54 %

30

For 2008,
Net Profit Ratio = (2204.79/36922.61) * 100 = 5.97%
Comments This ratio indicates the firms capacity to face adverse economic
conditions like low demand, price competition etc.
Higher the ratio, better it is.
In 2007, the ratio was 5.54 % but in 2008 it increased to 5.97%, which indicates
increase in profitability.

3.Return on Equity
This ratio is the relationship between profits of a company and its equity capital.
It is used to find out how efficiently the funds supplied by shareholders have been
used.

Return on Equity = (Net Profit after Interest and Tax / Shareholders funds) * 100

For 2007,
Return on Equity = (2234.75/8697.52) * 100 = 25.69%
For 2008,
Return on Equity = (2204.79/7721.67) * 100 = 28.55%
Comments In 2007, the ratio of return on equity was 25.69%, and in 2008 it has
increased to 28.55%.
A marginal increase in the ratio indicates firms higher ability of generating profit per
rupee of shareholders funds.

4.Current ratio

31

Current ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the
analysis of short-term financial position or liquidity of a firm.

Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

For 2007,
Current ratio = 19267.35 / 13644.56 = 1.41:1
For 2008,
Current ratio = 16277.92 / 9330.83 =1.74:1

Comments a current ratio of 2:1 is considered to be satisfactory.

In 2007, the ratio was 1.41:1 , which is higher than the ideal ratio. This indicates that
the firm is liquid and has the ability to pay off its current obligations.
In 2008, the ratio further increased to1.74:1, which means that the liquidity has
improved.
On the other hand, it also shows that funds are lying idle and the company should
check upon its investment policies.

5.Proprietary Ratio
It highlights the general financial position of the enterprise and shows the extent to
which the shareholders own the business.

Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders Funds / Total Assets

32

For 2007,
Proprietary Ratio = 8697.52 / 21725.15 = 0.40:1%
For 2008,
Proprietary Ratio = 7721.67 / 16090.80 = 0.48:1%
Comments As this ratio represents the relationship of owners funds to total assets,
higher the ratio better is the long-term solvency of the business.
In 2007, the ratio was 0.40:1% and in 2008 it has increased to 0.48:1%, which means
that long-term solvency has improved.

LESSON
LEARNT

LESSONS LEARNT
This summer training project was a profitable experience as it showed the real
application of all the knowledge that I gained till yet.

41

It helped me to know the real corporate world and how things are carried out and how
the problems are dealt with.

General Experience:
Summer training was a very knowledgeable experience and I certainly learnt a lot
from this kind of industrial exposure. I came to know about the difference in the
theoretical knowledge and its actual implementation. Our teachers try to give us every
kind of an example in our classroom lectures but still such a training gives us a more
vivid information about how does an enterprise function.
I also came to know about the various strategies the company might opt for to
increasing its sales and thereby profit.
