    PREFACE

    Indian automobile industry

    The first car ran on India's roads in 1897. Until the 1930s, cars were imported directly, but in very small

    numbers.

    An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Mahindra & Mahindra was

    established by two brothers as a trading company in 1945, and began assembly of Jeep CJ-3A utility

    vehicles. Following the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launched

    efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobileindustry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalisation and the

    license raj which hampered the Indian private sector. Total restrictions for import of vehicles was set

    and after 1970 the automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by tractors,

    commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury. Eventually multinational automakers,

    such as, though not limited to, Suzuki and Toyota of Japan and Hyundai of South Korea, were allowed to

    invest in the Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment of an automotive industry in India. A

    number of foreign firms also initiated joint ventures with Indian companies.

    As of 18 March, 2013 global brands such as Proton Holdings, PSA Group, and Geely Holding Group are

    shelving plans for India due to the global economic crisis

    INTRODUCTION

    The automotive industry in India is one of the larger markets in the world and had previously

    been one of the fastest growing globally, but is now seeing flat or negative growth rates.[1] India's

    passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the sixth largest in the world, with an

    annual production of more than 3.9 million units in 2011.[2] According to recent reports, India overtook

    Brazil and became the sixth largest passenger vehicle producer in the world (beating such old and new

    auto makers as Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain, France, Brazil), grew 16to 18 per cent to sell around three million units in the course of 2011-12.[3] In 2009, India emerged as

    Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger cars, behind Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.[4] In 2010,

    India beat Thailand to become Asia's third largest exporter of passenger cars.

    As of 2010, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million automotive vehicles

    were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making the country the second (after China)

    fastest growing automobile market in the world in that year.[5][6] According to the Society of Indian

    Automobile Manufacturers, annual vehicle sales are projected to increase to 4 million by 2015, no

    longer 5 million as previously projected.

    The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is based around three clusters in the south, west and

    north. The southern cluster consisting of Chennai is the biggest with 35% of the revenue share. The

    western hub near Mumbai and Pune contributes to 33% of the market and the northern cluster around

    the National Capital Region contributes 32%. Chennai, with the India operations of Ford, Hyundai,

    Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW, Hindustan Motors, Daimler, Caparo, and PSA Peugeot Citron is

    about to begin their operations by 2014. Chennai accounts for 60% of the country's automotive

    exports.[8] Gurgaon and Manesar in Haryana form the northern cluster where the country's largest car

    manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is based. The Chakan corridor near Pune, Maharashtra is the western

    cluster with companies like General Motors, Volkswagen, Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors,

    Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar Cars, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants in the area.

    Nashik has a major base of Mahindra & Mahindra with a UV assembly unit and an Engine assembly unit.

    Aurangabad with Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen also forms part of the western cluster. Another emerging

    cluster is in the state of Gujarat with manufacturing facility of General Motors in Halol and further

    planned for Tata Nano at their plant in Sanand. Ford, Maruti Suzuki and Peugeot-Citroen plants are also

    set to come up in Gujarat.[12] Kolkata with Hindustan Motors, Noida with Honda and Bangalore with

    Toyota are some of the other automotive manufacturing regions around the country.

    ANALYSIS OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

    Over a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobile industry has been driving its own

    growth through phases. With comparatively higher rate of economic growth rate index against

    that of great global powers, India has become a hub of domestic and exports business. The

    automobile sector has been contributing its share to the shining economic performance of Indiain the recent years.

    To understand this industry for the purpose of investment we need to analyze it by following two

    approaches:

    1). Fundamental Analysis (E.I.C Approach)

    a. Economy

    b. Industry

    c. Company

    2).Technical Analysis

    1) FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS

    a). ECONOMY

    Economic analysis is the analysis of forces operating the overall economy a country. Economic

    analysis is a process whereby strengths and weaknesses of an economy are analyzed. Economic

    analysis is important in order to understand exact condition of an economy.

    GDP and Automobile Industry

    In absolute terms, India is 16th in the world in terms of nominal factory output. The service

    sector isgrowing rapidly in the past few years. This is the pie- chartshowing contributions of

    different sectors in Indian economy.

    10/34

    The per capita Income is near about Rs38,000 reflecting improvement in the living standards of

    an average Indian.Today, automobile sector in India is one of the key sectors of the economy in

    terms of the employment.Directly and indirectly it employs more than 10 million people and if

    we add the number of peopleemployed in the auto-component and auto ancillary industry then

    the number goes even higher.

    As the world economy slips into recession hitting the demand hard and the banking sector takesconservative approach towards lending to corporate sector, the GDP growth has downgraded it to7.1 per cent for 2008-09 and predicted it to be 6.5 per cent for FY 2009-10 Mr. Montek Singh(Planning Commission of India). Following is the graph showing a trend of Indian GDP trend inpast 3 years.

    RecessionAll the major auto companies enjoyed the high growth ride till the mid 2008. But at the end ofthe year,industry had to face the hard truth and witnessed the fall in sales compared to last year.

    In December 2008, overall production fell by 22 % over the same month last year. Globalrecession has hit the Indian auto industry, India is strong and growing industry but the impact ofrecession is evident now on industry as sales & growth of automobile companies have declined.Passenger Vehicles segment registered negative growth. One of its supporting facts is that thesales in December 2008 for passenger vehicles fell by 13.86% over December 2007 TwoWheelers registered minor growth of 1.85 % during AprilDecember 2008. However, TwoWheelers sales recorded 15.43 percent fall in December 2008 over the same month lastyear. Although the sector was hit by economic slowdown, overall production (passengervehicles, commercial vehicles, two wheelers and three wheelers) increased from 10.85 millionvehicles in 2007-08 to 11.17 million vehicles in 2008-09. Passenger vehicles increasedmarginally from 1.77 million to 1.83 million while two-wheelers increased from 8.02 million to8.41 million. Total number of vehicles sold including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles,two-wheelers and three-wheelers in 2008-09 was 9.72 million as compared to 9.65 million in2007-08.

    Inflation

    Despite of negative inflation these days (-.21% on 22-Aug-09) we saw an increasing trend ofsales in auto sector. A moderate amount of inflation is important for the proper growth of aneconomy like India because it attracts more private investment. The fall in wholesale prices froma year earlier is mainly due to a statistical base effect and doesnt suggest contraction in demand,the Reserve Bank of India said few week back, while revising its inflation forecast for the FYthrough March to around 5% from 4%.

    In last FY despite of skyrocketing oil prices (crude oil price has already up to $130 compared to$20 per barrel five years back), Indian automobile Industry was not as much affected and expertsthink that Indian automobile industry will continue to grow this year despite all obstacles- oilprice hike, higher interest rates. However, the effect of inflation has affected every sector which

    is related to car manufacturing and production. The increase in the price of fuel and the steel dueto inflation has led to a slower growth rate of the car industry in India. The effect of inflation hastaken the rise in the price rate of the cars by 3-4% which in turn suffices the need to meet the risein price of the raw materials to buildna car. The car market and the car industry witnessed a fallof 8-9%.

    FDIsIn India FDI up to 100 percent, has been permitted under automatic route to this sector, whichhas led to a turnover of USD 12 billion in the Indian auto industry and USD 3 billion in the autoparts industry.India enjoys a cost advantage with respect to casting and forging as manufacturing costs in India

    are 25 to 30 per cent lower than their western counterparts the Investment Commission has set atarget of attracting foreign investment worth US$ 5 billion for the next seven years to increaseIndia's share in the global auto components market from the existing 0.9 per cent to 2.5 per centby 2015. FDI inflows in Automobile Industry 2008-09 was Rs.5,212 Cr an increase of 47.25%compare to 2007-08, while in April-May 2009 it was around Rs.497 Cr.

    Foreign Exchange

    India holds the third largest stock of reserves among the emerging market economies after China

    and Russia. The overall approach to the management of India's foreign exchange reserves in

    recent years reflects the changing composition of the balance of payments and the 'liquidity risksassociated with different types of flows and other requirements.

    Taking these factors into account, India's foreign exchange reserves continued to be at a

    comfortable level and consistent with the rate of growth, the share of external sector in the

    economy and the size of risk-adjusted capital flows. Following is the table shows the trend of

    foreign reserves held by central bank in last FY. Reserves came down cause of recession all over

    the world however India still able to maintain its reserves hence a minor fall was seen compare

    to all other country which shows great strength in long-term for Indian Economy. Increase in

    Exports specially from auto industry shows an expectations of huge income from western

    countries and new $200 bl. target for exports by 2011 helps in increasing.

    EXPORT

    India's automobile exports have grown consistently and reached $4.5 billion in 2009, with United

    Kingdom being India's largest export market followed by Italy, Germany, Netherlands and South

    Africa. India's automobile exports are expected to cross $12 billion by 2014.

    According to New York Times, India's strong engineering base and expertise in the

    manufacturing of low-cost, fuel-efficient cars has resulted in the expansion of manufacturing

    facilities of several automobile companies like Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen and

    Maruti Suzuki. In 2008, South Korean multinational Hyundai Motors alone exported 240,000

    cars made in India. Nissan Motors plans to export 250,000 vehicles manufactured in its Indiaplant by 2011.Similarly, US automobile company, General Motors announced its plans to export

    about 50,000 cars manufactured in India by 2011.

    In September 2009, Ford Motors announced its plans to set up a plant in India with an annual

    capacity of 250,000 cars for US$500 million. The cars will be manufactured both for the Indian

    market and for export. The company said that the plant was a part of its plan to make India the

    hub for its global production business. Fiat Motors also announced that it would source more

    than US$1 billion worth auto components from India.

    In July 2010, The Economic Times reported that PSA Peugeot Citron was planning to re-enter

    the Indian market and open a production plant in Andhra Pradesh with an annual capacity of

    100,000 vehicles, investing EUR 700M in the operation.[80] PSA's intention to utilise this

    production facility for export purposes however remains unclear as of December 2010. In 2009

    India (0.23m) surpassed China (0.16m) as Asia's fourth largest exporter of cars after Japan

    (1.77m), Korea (1.12m) and Thailand (0.26m) by allowing foreign carmakers 100% ownership

    of factories in India, which China does not allow.

    In recent years, India has emerged as a leading center for the manufacture of small cars.

    Hyundai, the biggest exporter from the country, now ships more than 250,000 cars annually from

    India. Apart from Maruti Exports' shipments to Suzuki's other markets, Maruti Suzuki also

    manufactures small cars for Nissan, which sells them in Europe. Nissan will also export small

    cars from its new Indian assembly line. Tata Motors exports its passenger vehicles to Asian and

    African markets, and is in preparation to launch electric vehicles in Europe in 2010. The firm is

  • 7/28/2019 A Report On indian automobile industry

    14/34

    also planning to launch an electric version of its low-cost car the Tata Nano in Europe and in the

    U.S. Mahindra & Mahindra is preparing to introduce its pickup trucks and small SUV models in

    the U.S. market. Bajaj Auto is designing a low-cost car for Renault Nissan Automotive India,

    which will market the product worldwide. Renault Nissan may also join domestic commercial

    vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland in another small car project.[81] While the possibilities are

    impressive, there are challenges that could thwart future growth of the Indian automobile

    industry. Since the demand for automobiles in recent years is directly linked to overall economic

    expansion and rising personal incomes, industry growth will slow if the economy weakens.

    Indian Automobile Industry at Global level:

    India ranks 1st in the global two-wheeler market

    India is the 4th biggest commercial vehicle market in the world

    India ranks 11th in the international passenger car market

    India ranks 5th pertaining to the number of bus and truck sold in the world

    India is the second largest tractor manufacturer in the world.

    Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan & Ford plan new cars to cash in on fastest-growing compact car

    section of car market in India.

    Sales of different Auto Companies speed up even before festive season Maruti by 29%, TATA

    by 11%,Skoda Auto 33%, Hero Honda 33%, Mahindra 42%, Yamaha 63% etc.

    It is expected that the Automobile Industry in India would be the 7th largest automobile market

    within the year 2016.

    Projected Growth rate in Automobile Industry

    Passenger vehicle sales in the country will grow at a CAGR of 12 per cent to touch 3.75 million

    units by 2014.

    The domestic two-wheeler sales will grow at a CAGR of 8.8% by 2014 at 11.3 million units.

    To emerge as the destination of choice in the world for design and manufacture of automobiles

    and auto components with output reaching a level of US$ 145 billion accounting for more than

    10% of the GDP and providing additional employment to 25 million people by 2016.

    b.) INDUSTRY ANALYSIS (AUTOMOBILE)

    The current trends of the global automobile industry reveal that in the developed countries the

    automobile industries are stagnating as a result of drooping markets, whereas the automobile

    industry in the developing nations, have been consistently registering higher growth rates every

    passing year for their domestic flourishing domestic automobile markets.

    Being one of the fastest growing sectors in the world its dynamic growth phases are explained by

    the nature of competition, Product Life Cycle and consumer demand. The industry is at the

    crossroads with global mergers and relocation of production centers to emerging developing

    countries.

    In 2009, estimated rate of growth of India Auto industry is going to be 9% .The Indian

    automobile sector is far from being saturated, leaving ample opportunity for volume growth.

    Segmentation of Automobile Industry

    The automobile industry comprises of Heavy vehicles (trucks, buses, tempos, tractors);

    passenger cars; Two-wheelers; Commercial Vehicles; and Three-wheelers.

    Following is the segmentation that how much each sector comprises of whole Indian

    Automobile Industry.

    Industrial Analysis of any industry can be done based on the following headings:

    1. Five Forces Model

    2. BCG Matrix

    3. Industrial Life Cycle

    4. SWOT Analysis

    5. Industry Specific Index

    1.) Five Forces Model

    Michael Porter identifies five forces that influence an industry. These forces are

    Degree of Rivalry

    Despite the high concentration ratio seen in the automotive sector, rivalry in the Indian auto

    sector is intense due to the entry of foreign companies in the market. The industry rivalry isextremely high with any being product being matched in a few months by the competitors. This

    instinct of the industry is primarily driven by technical capabilities acquired over years of

    gestation under the technical collaboration with international players.

    Threat of Substitutes

    The threat of substitutes to the automotive industry is fairly mild. Numerous other forms of

    transportation are available, but none offer the utility, convenience, independence and value

    offered by automobiles. The switching cost associated with using a different mode oftransportation, may be high in terms of personal time, convenience and utility.

    Barriers to entry

    The barriers to enter automotive industry are substantial. For a new company, the startup capital

    required to establish manufacturing capacity to achieve minimum efficient scale is prohibitive.

    Although the barriers to new companies are substantial, establishing companies are entering the

    new markets through strategic partnerships or through buying out or merging with other

    companies. However, a domestic company, with local knowledge and expertise, has the potential

    to compete its home market against the global firms who are not well established there.

    Suppliers power In the relationship between the industry and its suppliers, the power axis istipped in industrys favor. The industry is comprised of powerful buyers who are generally ableto dictate their terms to the suppliers.

    Buyers Power

  • 7/28/2019 A Report On indian automobile industry

    22/34

    In the relationship between the automotive industry and its ultimate consumers, the power axis is

    tipped in the consumers favor. This is due to the fairly standardized nature and the lowswitching costs associated with selecting from among competing brands.

    2.) BCG Matrix

    In an economy, different industries are present and different industries have different growth rate

    as compared to the growth of the economy. In an economy, there are a number of major

    industries and they all occupy different positions in the BCG matrix according to their growth

    and contribution towards the economy. In the Indian economy, some of the major sectors are

    FMCG, automobiles, banking and insurance, steel, telecom, software, pharmacology and retail

    sectors and these can be placed in the different positions in the matrix as shown below:

    3.) Industrial Life CycleThe industrial life cycle is a term used for classifying industry vitality over time. Industry lifecycle classification generally groups industries into one of four stages: pioneer, growth, maturity

    and decline.In the pioneer phase, the product has not been widely accepted or adopted. Business strategiesare developing, and there is high risk of failure. However, successful companies can grow atextraordinary rates. The Indian automobile sector has passed this stage quite successfully.In the growth phase, the product market has been established and there is at least some historicalguide to ground demand estimates. The industry is growing rapidly, often at an accelerating rateof sales and earnings growth. Indian Automotive Industry is booming with agrowth rate ofaround 15 % annually.

    The growth rate of the automobile industry in India is greater than the GDP growthrate of the economy, so the automobile sector can be very well be said to be in the growth phase.As the product matures, growth slows as penetration reaches practical limits. Companies beganto focus on market share rather than growth. Industry demand tends to follow the overalleconomy, but the scope of growth of the automobile sector is very much possible in India due tothe increasing income of the middle class and their income as well as standard of living.

    4.) SWOT AnalysisA scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic planningprocess.Environmental factors internal to the firm usually can be classified as strengths (S) or

    weaknesses (W), and those external to the firm can be classified as opportunities (O) or threats(T). Such an analysis of the strategic environment is referred to as a SWOT analysis. SWOTanalysis of the Indian automobile sector gives the following points:

    Strengths

    Large domestic market

    Sustainable labor cost advantage

    Competitive auto component vendor base

    Government incentives for manufacturing plants

    Strong engineering skills in design etc

    Weaknesses

    Low labor productivity

    Heavy thrust on mining and construction activity

    Increase in the income level

    Cut in excise duties

    Rising rural demand

    Threats

    Rising input costs

    Rising interest rates

    Cut throat competition

    5.) Industry Specific Index

    industry sector. All stocks in a sectoral index belong to that sector only. Hence an index like the

    BSE auto index is made of auto stocks. Sectoral Indices are very useful in tracking the

    reaches to its highest in his history. Than we saw a steady fall in the index and in the mid 2006

    reaches to years lowest point it again start booming and than year on year we saw a up and down

    movement in the index as lots of new players came in Indian market with foreign colaboration

    but when 2008 came with global slowdown it brings the demand of automobile so low that index

    reaches to its lowest in past 5year . Most of the company even shut down their manufacturing

    units for more than a week, production came down because of less demand in the economy. Also

    no further launches were made in mid or late 2008 and postponed to next year. We have also saw

    a fall in FDIs in automobile Industry. But in the beginning of 2009 right from 1st quarter autoindustry again start regaining and we saw a tremondous growth in auto industry which never

    seen before not in india but all over the world. The demand of 2 and 4 Wheelers start increasing

    rapidly which also force auto industry to employ more workers to meet demand and within the

    2nd quarter of FY2009-10 Auto index reaches to its highest ever crossed mark of 6000. And this

    growth of industry will be carry further as festive season still to come, so there is a lot of scopeto growth in this industry.

    Following is the financial and Non-Financial analysis of Maruti Suzuki & TATA Motors.

    Financial Analysis

    1. Financial Statements

    RATIO ANALYSIS OF TATA MOTORS AND MARUTI SUZUKI

    EPS measures the profit available to the equity shareholders per share, that is, the amount that

    they can get on every share held. Till 2008 both the companies had a rising EPS but in 2009 both

    of them fall and the effect more on Tata motors as they bought two brands Ford Motors and fallin sales results in low EPS. But as trend shows TATA motors have potential so an shareholder

    expect better in future.

    EPS = Net income- Dividends on Preferred stock

    Average Outstanding shares

    The trend shows that Tatas net profit margin is quite stable until it falls to 3.77 in 2009. Whilethe net profit ofIndias no.1 car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki shows a negative trend from 2007onwards. But the future prospect for both the companys profit is higher. Profit margins comedown as recession hits economy badly hence sales get reduced and cost get increased very much.

    Both giants of Automobil industry shows positive trend in Sales Revenue over the past 5year.

    However recession brought hurdles but both companies have potential to grow in future as lotsof products still to add in their portfolio. Moreover increased demand in foreign market also

    seems to be a positive signal for better future.

    The quick ratio is a very stringent measure of solvency. A general rule of thumb suggests that the

    quick ratio should be around 1. Maruti is always showing a positive trend as its ratio is always

    greater than 1 except in 2008, while TATA motors was doing good till 2007, but the

    performance decreased from 2008 onwards as shortage of cash was there and current liabilities

    and provision increased by Rs800Cr. A high debt to equity ratio suggests that a company has

    financed its growth mostly via debt. We see that the debt equity ratio of TATA motors is very

    high compared to that of Maruti. It means that a lot of debt is used by TATAs to finance itsincreased operations. Sometimes the cost of the debt financing may outweigh the return that thecompany generates on the debt through investment and business activities and can lead to

    bankruptcy. Maruti is going very swiftly in this field.

    Debt-Equity Ratio= Total Debt

    Total Equity

    The current ratio is a convenient and reliable tool for

    measuring a company's level of liquidity. The ratio

    acts as an indication that the firm is able to generate funds to make all needed payments in the

    future; thus, the ratio indicates whether the firm is likely to be a going concern. Both the

    companies possess a good ratio but the ratio which is close to 2 is desirable, so we see in graph

    that Maruti has more strong liquidity than TATA Motors as its current ratio is always greater

    than 1. Maruti is more successful in paying off its liabilities. Expansion plans of TATA brought

    down its cash & Bank Balance and increase of outside liabilities. Tata motors and Maruti Suzuki

    both the companies showed a positive trend in paying dividends till 2008, but the scenario

    changed in 2009 as both the companys dividend per share fell. According to graph TATAsdividend was much higher than that of Maruti, it always provided dividend of above 10 per share

    to its shareholders while maruti stick to below 5 per share, even though the fall in dividend in

    2009, still both the companies are earning good profit.

    Government Policies Towards Indian Automobile Industry

    Automobile industry in India also received an unintended boost from stringent government auto

    emission regulations over the past few years. This ensured that vehicles produced in India

    conformed to the standards of the developed world.

    Though it has an advantage in India, thanks to low costs and government policies it soon faces

    stiff competition from it multinational competitors all eyeing for a share in the ever growing

    Indian auto sector. The policies adopted by Government will increase competition in domesticmarket, motivate many foreign commercial vehicle manufactures to set up shops in India, whom

    will make India as a production hub and export to nearest market.

    Bring in a minimum foreign equity of US $ 50 Million if a joint venture involved majority

    foreign equity ownership

  • 7/28/2019 A Report On indian automobile industry

    31/34

    Automatic approval for foreign equity investment upto 100% of manufacture of automobiles

    and component is permitted

    FIIs including overseas corporate bodies (OCBs) and NRIs are permitted to invest up to 49 per

    cent of the paid-up equity capital of the investee company, subject to approval of the board of

    directors and of the members by way of a special resolution. .

    Investments in making auto parts by a foreign vehicle maker will also be considered a part of

    the minimum foreign investment made by it in an auto-making subsidiary in India. The move is

    aimed at helping India emerge as a hub for global manufacturing and sourcing for auto parts.

    Specific component of excise duty applicable to large cars and utility vehicles will be reduced

    to 15,000 rupees per vehicle from 20,000 rupees earlier.

    The Proposal by the Govt. to set up an expert group to advise on a viable and sustainable

    system of pricing petroleum products, as this will surely had an impact on the Automobile

    Industry.

    The announced reduction on the basic customs on bio-diesel is great news for all companies

    working on environmental saving technologies.

    CONCLUSION

    Indian Automobile Industry is in the growth phase and the expected growth rate is 9-10% for

    FY2009-10 compare to last year growth rate which was just 0.7% and the above facts and figures

    in our study also support this truth.

    Indian Automobile has a lot of scope for both two wheelers and four wheelers due to

    development in infrastructure of the country and especially the rural sector in which demand of

    two wheeler has increased even in recession. According to Indian Statistical Organization the per

    capita income (Rs.38000) is increasing and national income at the rate of 14.4% which shows

    potential to buy vehicle in auto industry. The growth rate of Indian Automobile is so fast that by

    2016 Indian Industry will be world 7 largest manufacturer in all sections.

    The Indian auto market is still untapped the majority of the people in country dont own a fourwheeler and all the major auto companies are trying to increase their sales by several moves.

    Like TATA has launch NANO the peoples car and now TATA motors is also planning to come

  • 7/28/2019 A Report On indian automobile industry

    32/34

    out with an electric car as well as hybrid car, moreover in two wheeler segment many companies

    like Mahindra and Mahindra grow even more than expectations.

    From the Technical Analysis of both companies we come to know that the share price of Maruti

    will move in the band of Rs.1275 to Rs.1425 and that of TATA Motors will move in the range of

    Rs. 430 to Rs. 490 if certain correction made in the market.

    We have also come to know that share price movement of TATA Motors is just according to the

    movement of SENSEX, whenever there is a negative sentiment in the market regarding TATA

    Motors there is a steep fall in the stock price of TATA Motors but we have seen quick recovery

    in its share prices to regain its primary trend E.g as we seen in last 3-4 months TATA recovers

    approx.90% after downfall. By analyzing the current trend of Indian Economy and Automobile

    Industry we can say that being a developing economy there is lot of scope for growth and this

    industry still have to cross many levels so there is huge opportunities to invest in and this is

    proving as more and more foreign Companies setting up there ventures in India.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    By analyzing the industry on various parameters with the help of implementing Fundamental and

    Technical tools we came to know that this industry has a lot of potential to grow in future. So

    recommending to invest in Automobile Industry have no doubt is going to be a good and smart

    option because this industry is booming like never before not only in India but all around the

    world. The returns which came out of this industry were very impressive recently, as if we take

    an example of TATA motors it gives approx 90% return in a period of just 3 months while

    Maruti Suzuki shows always a buy and hold position because there is possibility of growth in

    future, same situation is in two wheeler segment with market leader Hero-Honda a debt free

    company also have bright future ahead. The numbers which came out in the end of financial year

    2009 prove that even in the period of recession the overall sales went up is sufficient to support

    to this fact. Through Technical analysis of TATA Motors and Maruti it can be recommended that

  • 7/28/2019 A Report On indian automobile industry

    33/34

    for now Maruti share price shows that its a time to hold the position or buy more shares as thereis scope in further rise in share prices until and unless any negative reaction or sentiments comes

    in the Economy. Investing in Maruti Suzuki for long time could be a good option whereas in

    TATA motors there is a chance of getting correction, as it already went on high side in a very

    short period of time so holding the shares for long time could be a wrong step, so at this point of

    time those who invested earlier can book their profit or new investors can buy now and sell with

    in short period of time by earning profit in short period of time.
