Introduction to Indian Capital Market.
Capital markets are the sub-part of the financial system. Conceptually, the financial
system includes a complex of institutions and mechanism which affects the generation of
savings and their transfer to those who will invest. It may be said to be made of all those
channels through which savings become available for investments. The main elements of the
financial system are the variety of the financial assets/instruments/securities, financial
intermediaries/institutions and financial markets.
Money market is created by a financial relationship between suppliers and
demanders of short term funds which have maturities of one year or less. It exists because
investors (individual investors, business units, and govt.) have temporarily idle funds that
they wish to place in some type of liquid asset or short term interest earning instrument. At
the same time other entities find themselves in need of seasonal/temporary financing. The
money market brings together these suppliers and demanders of short term liquid funds.
Capital Market isa financial relationship created by number of institutions and
arrangements that allow suppliers and demanders of long-term funds i.e. funds with
maturities exceeding 1 year to make transactions.

The capital market comprises of:
1. Industrial securities market.2. Government securities market.3. Long-term loan market.
I. Industrial securities market.
It is the market for mainly:
Equity shares or Ordinary shares, Preference shares, and Debentures or Bonds.
Industrial securities market can further be divided into:
1. Primary Market or New Issue Market.2. Secondary Market or Stock Exchange.
Primary Market.
It is the market for new issues. Hence, it is also called New Issue Market. The primary
market deals with those securities which are issued to the public for the first time. In the
primary market, borrowers exchange new financial securities for long term funds. Thus,
primary market facilitates capital formation. There are three ways by which a company may
raise capital in a primary market. They are: (i) Public issue (ii) Right issue (iii) Private
placement.
The most common method of raising capital by new company is through sale of
securities to the public. It is called public issue. When an existing company wants to raise
additional capital, securities are first offered to existing share holders on a pre-emptive basis.
It is called right issue. Private placement is a way of selling securities privately to a small
group of investors.
Functions of primary market.
The main function of primary market is to facilitate the transfer of resources from
savers to entrepreneurs seeking to establish new enterprise or to expand/diversify existing
ones or private companies going public. The general functions of the primary market are:

Portfolio Construction in FMCG and Fertilizer Sector.3
B.R.C.M. College of Business Administration.
1. Origination: It refers to the work of investigation and analysis and processing of newproposals. These two functions are performed by the specialist agencies which act as
the sponsors of the issues. One aspect is the preliminary investigation which entails a
study on technical, financial and legal aspects of companies to ensure that thecompany is worthy of stock exchange quotation. These services include advise on
capital issues such as: determination the class of security to be issued, timing and
magnitude, methods of flotation and technique of selling and so on.
2. Underwriting: It is a form of guarantee that the new issue would be sold byeliminating the risk arising from uncertainty of public response.
3. Distribution: It is the sale of securities to ultimate investors.
Secondary Market.
It is a market for secondary sale of securities. Securities which have already passed
through the new issue market are traded in this market. The functions of secondary market
include:
1. Nexus between savings and investment: The savings of the community aremobilized and channeled by stock exchanges for investment into those sectors and
units which are favored by the community at large, on the basis of such criteria as
good return, appreciation of capital, and so on.
2. Market place: The second important function discharged by stock markets is thatthey provide market place for the purchase and sale of securities, thereby enabling
their free transferability who may buy or sell them today or in future for various
considerations like meeting their own liquidity, shuffling their portfolios to gear up
ever changing market situations and so on.3. Continuous price formation: The collective judgment of many people operating
simultaneously in the market has the effect of bringing about changes in the levels of
security prices in small graduations, thereby evening out wide swings in prices. Stock
exchange thus acts as a barometer of the state of health of the nations economy, by
constantly measuring its progress.

III. Long Term Loans Market.Developments banks and commercial banks play a significant role in this market by
supplying long term loans to corporate customers. Long term loans market includes:
Term loans market. Mortgages market. Financial guarantees market.

Meaning of Portfolio.
Investing in financial securities is now considered to be one of the best avenues for
investing ones savings while it is acknowledged to be one of the most risky avenues of
investment. It is rare to find investors investing their entire savings in a single security.
Instead, they tend to invest in a group of securities. Such a group of securities is called
portfolio. Creation of a portfolio helps to reduce the risk without scarifying returns.
Meaning of Portfolio Management.
An investor considering investment in securities is faced with the problem of
choosing from among a large number of securities. His choice depends upon the risk-return
characteristics of individual securities. He would attempt to choose the most desirable
securities and like to allocate his funds over this group of securities. Again he is faced with
the problem of deciding which securities to hold and how to invest in each. The investor
faces with an infinite number of possible portfolios or group of securities. The investor tries
to choose the optimal portfolio taking into consideration the risk return characteristics of all
possible portfolios.
Portfolio management comprises all the processes involved in the creation and
maintenance of an investment portfolio. It deals specifically with security analysis, portfolio
analysis, portfolio selection, portfolio revision and portfolio evaluation. It also makes use of
analytical techniques of analysis and conceptual theories regarding rational allocation of
funds.
Objectives of Portfolio Management.
1. Security of principal: The preservation of the value of the investment account for thesake of future income and growth. This principal should be the dominant force in
portfolio management. It seems unwise to save for years to build an investment fund
and then lose it in one careless, risky venture. However, security of principal means
more than just maintaining the original fund.
2. Stability of income: In establishing an investment fund, an investor should attempt toachieve stability of income as a practical goal. Income received in the form ofdividends and interests is somewhat more valuable than a promise of future dividends

and interests. Stability of revenues allows the investor to plan more accurately and
logically, whether goal is reinvestment or consumption.
3. Capital growth: A fund can be built up from reinvested income as well as throughthe purchase of growth shares. A large fund does provide more income for theinvestors than a small fund. Capital growth is necessary to improve the long range
securities of the investor, to maintain purchasing power, and to offer flexibility of
management.
4. Marketability: It refers to whether a security can be bought or sold easily andquickly. High-priced stocks are less marketable than low-priced. Stock of smaller
companies tends to have less marketability than those of larger companies because
they have a greater number of shares outstanding.
5. Liquidity: Liquidity is desirable in the portfolio because it offers the investor anopportunity to take advantage of attractive opportunities that arise.
6. Diversification: One main reason for diversification is reduction of loss of the risk ofloss of capital and income. Investors face an unknown and uncertain future. Since no
one can predict future most investors diversify their investments.
7. Favorable tax status: Capital gains are not taxed until they are actually realized. Thismeans that unless income is actually needed, a rupee capital gain is really worth than
a rupee income. The key point is that unrealized capital gains are not taxed, whereas
as dividend or interest income is. Taxes can be deferred for many years by successful
long-term growth stock investing.

Process of Portfolio Management.
Portfolio management is a process encompassing many activities aimed at optimizing
the investment of ones funds. Five phases can be identified in this process:
Each phase is an integral part of the whole process and the success of portfolio
management depends upon the efficiency in carrying out each of these phases.
A. Securities Analysis.This step consists of examining the risk-return characteristics of individual securities.
There are two alternative approaches to security analysis, namely fundamental analysis
and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis, concentrates on fundamental factors
affecting the company such as EPS, the dividend pay-out ratio, competition faced, market
share, quality of management etc. it not only studies the fundamental factors affecting the
company but also the fundamental factors affecting the industry to which the company
belongs as also the economy fundamentals. The fundamental analyst works out the true
worth or intrinsic value of a security based on fundamentals, than compares this intrinsic
value with the currents market price. If current price is higher than the intrinsic value, theshare is said to be overpriced and vice versa. An investor would buy those securities

which are underpriced and sell those which are overpriced. In technical analysis, a
technical analyst believes that share price movements are systematic and exhibit certain
consistent patterns. He therefore studies past movements in the prices of the shares to
identify the trends and patterns. He then tries to predict the future price movements.An investor cannot consistently earn abnormal returns by undertaking
fundamental analysis and technical analysis. According to efficient market
hypothesis, it is possible for an investor to earn normal returns by randomly choosing
securities of a given risk level.
B. Portfolio Analysis.Security analysis provides the investor with a set of worthwhile or desirable
securities. From this, an infinitely large number of portfolios can be constructed by
choosing different sets of securities and also by varying the proportion of investment in
each security. The return and risk of each portfolio has to be calculated.
Portfolio analysis phase of portfolio management consists of identifying the range of
possible portfolios that can be constituted from a given set of securities and calculating
their return and risk for further analysis.
C. Portfolio Selection.The goal of portfolio construction is to generate a portfolio that provides the highest
returns at a given level of risk. A portfolio having this characteristic is known as an
efficient portfolio. The inputs from portfolio analysis can be used to identify the set of
efficient portfolios. From this set, the optimal portfolio has to be selected. Markowitzs
portfolio theory provides both the conceptual framework and analytical tools for
determining the optimal portfolio in a disciplined and objective way.
D. Portfolio Revision.The investor has to constantly monitor the portfolio to ensure that it continues to be
optimal. As the economy and financial markets are dynamic, changes takes place almost
daily. The investor has to revise his portfolio in the light of the development in the
market. Revision leads to purchase of some new securities and sale of some existing
securities.
Portfolio revision may also necessary in conditions wherein investor need additional
cash, change in risk attitude, need of cash for other alternative use etc.

E. Portfolio Evaluation.It is the process which is concerned with assessing the performance of the portfolio
over a selected period of time in terms of return and risk. Portfolio evaluation is useful in
yet another way. It provides a mechanism for identifying weakness in the investmentprocess and fro improving these deficient areas.

Objectives.
Primary Objectives:The main objective of the project research is to suggest the investors the optimum
combination of the investment options available in FMCG and Fertilizer sector considering
the given level of risk so that the investor risk can be minimized and return can be
maximized.
Secondary Objective:1. Risk and return analysis of selected scrips using various data analysis tools and
techniques like Markowitz model and Sharpe model.
2. To know the relationship between different scrips for diversification.3. Identifying the different efficient portfolios on the basis of risk and return analysis.
Today in the fast growing economy of India, people always look forward to
channelize their savings in different investment avenues. Considering this, investors consider
not only the equity market but also debt instruments, insurance, oil sector, etc. Today lots of
investment advisory firms are opening and these firms manage the portfolio of their clients in
an effective manner.
Research Methodology:
Research area:Here the initial analysis will be done in FMCG and Fertilizer sector of the Indian
Capital Market in order to have idea regarding the past performance , current scenario and
future of the give sector. So the research area will be FMCG and Fertilizer sector of the
Indian Capital.
Research Type (Research Design) :Research designs are concerned with turning the research question into a testing project.
According to David J. Luck and Ronald S. Rubin, "A research design is the determination
and statement of the general research approach or strategy adopted/or the particular project. It
is the heart of planning. If the research design adheres to the research objective, than it is
ensure that the purpose for which the research is carried out will be served."

Research design is important as it prepares proper framework within which the research
work will be actually carried out. Research design acts as a blue print for the research project.
Research design gives proper direction and time-table to research activity. It keeps adequate
check on the research work and ensures its completion within given time limit. It keeps thewhole research project on the right track. Research design avoids possible errors as regards
with research problem.
Type of Research Design.
The topic Portfolio construction in FMCG and Fertilizer sector requires to deal with
the secondary data of the companies like their daily price, daily return, index return, here the
research design applied is Exploratory research design. As Exploratory research is
conducted when the researcher does not know how and why certain phenomenon occurs.
Here, the hypothetical solutions or actions are explored and evaluated by the decision-maker.
The purpose of exploratory research is to define the marketing problem precisely,
collect required information/data relating to the problem and identify alternative courses of
action in order to deal with the problem. The secondary/published data can be used for
exploratory research as such data are easily available.
Population:A research population is generally a large collection of individuals or objects that is the
main focus of a research. It is also defined as a well-defined collection of individuals or
objects known to have similar characteristics. All individuals or objects within a certain
population usually have a common, binding characteristic or trait. Here we have taken the
Indian capital market as a population for the project. As here the analysis will be done on
FMCG and Fertilizer sector of Indian Capital market.
Sampling:A Sampling indicates the part of the total population. It can be an individual element or
a group of elements selected from the population for the research study. Although it is a
subset, samples are selected with the help of appropriate methods and so it is the
representative of the population. The sample group can be selected based on a probability or anon probability approach. Sampling will include the following areas:
7/30/2019 Disha Final Project

Portfolio Construction in FMCG and Fertilizer Sector.15
B.R.C.M. College of Business Administration.
Sampling Frame:It is the representation or systematic listing of all the elements of target population. It
consists of a list of population members to identify target population. Using this database,
samples are selected.
Here the sampling frame is FMCG and Fertilizer sector companies listed with
BSE; as from these two sectors companies will be identified on the basis of specific criteria.
Sampling Techniques:In most surveys, access to the entire population is nearly impossible; however, the
results from a survey with a carefully selected sample will reflect extremely closely results
that would have been obtained otherwise by surveying the population. Sampling therefore is a
very important part of the Market Research process. If one had surveyed using an appropriate
sampling technique, one can be confident that results will be generalized to the population in
question.
Here we select the samples by the method ofjudgmental sampling techniques on the
basis ofcriteria such as EPS, Dividend pay-out, P/E ratio, market capitalization, book-
value of the company. From the above mentioned criterias, I have selected 10 companies in
FMCG and Fertilizer sector each. I found these companies match with the criterias at best.

Data analysis tools and techniques:On the collected data following techniques are applied to get the perfect result for
investors.
Data analysis tools:
Arithmetic Mean: A mathematical representation of the values of a series ofnumbers, computed as the sum of all the numbers in the series divided by the
count of all numbers in the series. Arithmetic mean is commonly referred to as
"average" or simply as "mean". Arithmetic mean is calculated as follows.
Standard deviation: It is widely used measurement of variability or diversityused in statistics and probability theory. It shows how much variation or
"dispersion" there is from the "average". A low standard deviation indicates that
the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation
indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values. Standarddeviation can be calculated by the formula given below.
Variance: Variance is used as a measure of how far a set of numbers are spreadout from each other. It is one of several descriptors of a probability distribution,
describing how far the numbers lie from the mean (expected value).
Correlation: A correlation is a single number that describes the degree ofrelationship between two variables. Let's work through an example to show you
how this statistic is computed.

r = n(xy) (x.y)
(nx2-(x)2). (ny2-(y)2
Regression: A statistical measure that attempts to determine the strength ofthe relationship between one dependent variable (usually denoted by Y) and a
series of other changing variables (known as independent variables).
Regression line: Y = a + bX
Portfolio Construction tools:
Markowitz model:
Dr. Harry M. Markowitz is credited with developing the first modern portfolio
analysis model since the basic elements of modern portfolio theory emanate from a series of
propositions concerning rational investor behavior set forth by Markowitz, then of the Rand
Corporation, in 1952, and later in a more complete monograph sponsored by the Cowels
Foundation. Markowitz used mathematical programming and statistical analysis in order to
arrange for the optimum allocation of assets within the portfolio. To reach this objective,
Markowitz generated portfolios within a reward-risk context.
Markowitzs model is a theoretical framework for the analysis of risk return choices.
Decisions are based on the concept ofefficient portfolios.
Efficient portfolios:
This yields highest return with given level of risk or minimum risk with expected
return. It is prepared on the basis of addition and deletion of different securities or assets. Set
of efficient portfolios is generated with different combinations of securities or assets.
Assumptions:
Investor considers each alternative with probability distribution of expected return. Investors maximize one period expected utility and possess utility curve which
demonstrates diminishing marginal utility of wealth.
Risk is on the basis of the variability of expected return.

Decisions are solely on expected return and variance (or standard deviation) of returnsonly.
For given level of risk, investor prefer higher to lower level of return and for a givenlevel of return, less risk to high risk.
Formulas of risk and return according to Markowitz model:
Total risk of the portfolio: (2 securities x, y)
Rp= w2x.

wx= weightage of x in portfolio.
Rx= expected return for security X (%)

Sharp model:
Markowitz model had practical limitation related to compiling expected return,
standard deviation, variance, covariance of each security to every other security in the
portfolio. Sharp model has simplified this process by relating the return in a security to a
single market index. Firstly, this will theoretically reflect all well traded securities in the
market. Secondly, it will reduce and simplify the work involved in compiling elaborate
matrices of variance as between individual securities. The market index is used as a surrogate
(representative) for other individual securities in the portfolio, the relation of any individual
security with market index can be represented in a regression line.
Characteristic line:
RiRf= + im*(RmRf) + ei
Where:
Ri = the holding period return on security i.
Rf= the riskless / risk free rate of interest.
Rm = holding period return on market index.
im = coefficient of regressionline of security i on m
For portfolio:
RpRf= p + ep+ pm*(RmRf)
Where:
RpRf= excess return on portfolio.
p + ep = unsystematic component of portfolios excess return.
pm*(RmRf)= market (systematic) component of portfolios excess return.

Optimal portfolio of sharp:
If Ri is expected return on stock i Rf is the risk free return than the excess return =
(RiRf). This has to be adjusted to i namely (RiRf/ i) which is the equation for ranking
the securities in the order of their return adjusted for risk.
The method involves selecting a cut off rate for inclusion of securities in a portfolio.
Then only those securities which have (Ri Rf / i) > cut off point will be selected in a
portfolio.
Formula for cut off rate:
Ci = 2

Risk and Return.
Return: The (rate of) return on an asset/investment for a given period, say a year, is the
annual income received plus any change in market price, usually expressed as a percent of the
opening market price. Symbolically, the one period actual/expected return R:
R = Dt + (PtPt-1)
P t-1
Dt = annual income/cash dividend at the end of time period, t
Pt = security price at time period, t (closing security price)
Pt-1 = security price at time period, t-1 (opening price)
Risk: The variability of the actual return from the expected returns associated with a
given asset/investment is defined as risk. The greater the variability, the riskier the security
(e.g. equity shares). The more certain the return from an asset (e.g. T-bills) the less the
variability and therefore the less the risk.
Types of risks.
Systematic Risk: It refers to that portion of variability in return which is caused bythe factors affecting all the firms. It refers to fluctuation in return due to general
factors in the market such as money supply, inflation, economic recessions, interest
rate policy of the government, political factors, credit policy, tax reforms, etc. these
are the factors which affect almost all firms. The effect of these factors is to cause theprices of all securities to move together. No investor can avoid or eliminate this risk,

whatever precautions or diversification may be resorted to. The systematic risk is also
called the non-diversifiable risk or general risk.
Unsystematic risk: Represents the fluctuation in return from an investment due tofactors which are specific to the particular firm or industry and not the market as awhole. Since these factors are unique to a particular firm or industry, these must be
examined separately for each firm and for each industry. These factors may also be
called firm-specific as these affect one firm without affecting the other firms. For
example, a fluctuation in price of crude oil will affect the fortune of petroleum
companies but not the textile manufacturing companies. As the unsystematic risk
results from random events that tend to be unique to an industry or a firm, this risk is
random in nature. Unsystematic risk is also called specific risk or diversifiable risk.
Scope of future study: Portfolio construction can also be made considering other investment avenues and
other sectors of Indian capital market like banking, IT, pharmaceutical sectors etc.
Apart from the selected scrips in each sector, portfolio construction can also be doneby selecting other scripts in the same sectors.
The research is carried out on the basis of the performance of the scrip during timeperiod of one year only. The research may be carried out for longer period of time
also and accordingly the different scrips can be selected on the basis of their
performance over the period of time.
Limitations of the project: Here, four companies have been selected and analyzed from the FMCG and Fertilizer
sector each. These four companies have been selected by checking out the
performance of ten companies according to specific criteria but it is not necessary that
these four companies performance is always good in a specific sector as the research
is carried in a very short period of time. It may be possible that we could have
considered the performance of these companies over a longer period of time, the
scrips which seem now feasible for selection may ceases to be so.
There may be some inaccuracy in the collection of data as the data are collected fromsecondary sources.

Overview of FMCG sector.
FMCG is the acronym of Fast Moving Consumer Goods which is also known as
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG). Fast moving consumer goods are products that have a
quick turnover, and relatively low cost. FMCG generally include a wide range of often
purchased consumer products such as toiletries, soap, cosmetics, teeth cleaning products,
shaving products and detergents, as well as other non-durables such as glassware, bulbs,
condoms, batteries, paper products and plastic goods. In comparison with other industries
such as automobiles, computers, and airlines, FMCG business has a steady rate of growth, for
it does not suffer from huge recession and layoffs every time the economy starts to dip. In
FMCG business absolute profit made on the products is relatively small. Since they generally
sell in large numbers, the overall profit on such products can be huge.
The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest in the economy and has a market size
in excess of US$14.7 billion in Oct 2009. The current market size is US$19.1 billion.
Well-established distribution networks, as well as intense competition between the organized
and unorganized segments, low operational cost are the characteristics of this sector. Brand
switching is often induced by heavy advertisement, recommendation of the retailer or word of
mouth. FMCG in India has a strong and competitive MNC presence across the entire value
chain.

FMCG: Present and Future Scenario.
The Indian FMCG sector is an important contributor to the country's GDP. It is the
fourth largest sector in the economy and is responsible for 5% of the total factory
employment in India and captures a market capitalization of around 60,000 crore rupees.
This has been due to liberalization, urbanization and increase in the disposable incomes and
altered lifestyle of the people. The lower-middle income group accounts for over 60% of the
sector's sales and rural markets account for 56% of the total domestic FMCG demand.
Around 58% of total disposable income is spent on FMCG products and from this 40% of
the portion is spent on grocery and eatables and 10% is spent on personal care products.
FMCG sector is expected to grow by over 60% by 2011 and by 2015; the sector is predicted
to scale up to US$33.4 billion.India will become the worlds fifth largest consumer market
by 2025 moving up from its position in 2007 as 12th largest consumer market. The sector is
expected to grow at a base rate of at least 12 per cent annually to become an Rs 4, 00,000
crore industry in 2020.
India has always been a good market for FMCG industry for its large population base.And even today, the story is not any different as it (the industry) features among the worlds

fastest moving industry. More so, the growth story of FMCG in India has been phenomenal
so far. With more than ever rising consumer spending, the industry is set to touch new
records it terms of innovation and growth. There is a huge growth potential for all the FMCG
companies as the per capita consumption of almost all products in the country is amongst thelowest in the world. Again the demand or prospect could be increased further if these
companies can change the consumer's mindset and offer new generation products. Earlier,
Indian consumers were using non-branded apparel, but today, clothes of different brands are
available and the same consumers are willing to pay more for branded quality clothes. It's the
quality, promotion and innovation of products, which can drive many sectors. FMCG sector
is long established and over the years, sustaining ups and downs of the Indian economy. Thus
the Critical operating rules in Indian FMCG sector can be summarized as follows:
Heavy launch costs on new products on launch advertisements, free samplesand product promotions.
Majority of the product classes require very low investment in fixed assets. Existence of contract manufacturing. Marketing assumes a significant place in the brand building process. Extensive distribution networks and logistics are key to achieving a high level
of penetration in both the urban and rural markets.
Factors like low entry barriers in terms of low capital investment, fiscalincentives from government and low brand awareness in rural areas have led
to the mushrooming of the unorganized sector.
Providing good price points is the key to success.Exports.
India is one of the worlds largest producers of a number of FMCG products but itsexports are a very small proportion of the overall production. Total exports of food
processing industry were $6.9 billion in 2008-09 and marine products ac-counted for 40 per
cent of the total exports. Though the Indian companies are going global, they are focusing
more on the overseas markets like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Middle East countries
because of the similar lifestyle and consumption habits between these countries and India.
Hindustan Lever Limited (HLL), Godrej Consumer, Marico, Dabur and Vicco Laboratories
are amongst the top exporting companies.

Overview of Fertilizer sector.
Fertilizer sector is a very crucial for Indian economy because it provides a very
important input to agriculture. The fertilizer industry in India has played a pivotal role in
achieving self sufficiency in food grains as well as in rapid and sustained agriculture
growth. The growth of the Indian fertilizer industry has been largely determined by the
policies pursued by the government. The government exercised extensive controls on the
pricing, distribution and movement of fertilizers. The industry is capital intensive and the
production process energy intensive with the combined cost of feedstock and fuel accounting
for anywhere between 55 and 80 per cent of cost of production, depending on the type of
fertilizers.
The increasing pressure of population on the available land resources necessitates
higher agricultural productivity, which can be achieved through more intensive use of
fertilizer nutrients. Fertilizer is generally defined as any material (organic or inorganic;
natural or synthetic) which supplies one or more of the essential chemical elements to the
plants. Broadly, sixteen elements have been identified as necessary for plant growth, of which
nine are required in macro quantities and seven in micro quantities.
As far as production of fertilizers is concerned, the Indian fertilizer industry, by
meeting the demand for almost all chemical fertilizers, has played a key role in the
development of the agricultural sector. At present, there are 56 large size fertilizer units in
the country, manufacturing a wide range of nitrogenous and phosphate/ complex fertilizers.
Of these, 30 units produce urea; 21 units produce DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) and
complex fertilizers; 5 units produce low analysis straight nitrogenous fertilizers; and 9 units
produce ammonium sulphate as a by-product. Besides, there are about 72 small and medium
scale units producing single super phosphate (SSP). As a result, India is the third largest
fertilizer producer in the world after China and the United States, with an estimated
installed capacity of 120.61 lakh MT of nitrogen and 56.59 lakh MT of phosphate (as on
30.01.2008). This rapid build-up of fertilizer production capacity in the country has been
achieved as a result of a favorable policy environment facilitating large investments in the
public, co-operative and private sectors. The private sector produced 44.73 % of nitrogenous
fertilizers and 62.08 % of phosphatic fertilizers in 2006-07. The production of nitrogenous
fertilizer in the private sector has been increasing in the past few years. The private sector had
7/30/2019 Disha Final Project

B.R.C.M. College of Business Administration.
only 13% share in the production in 1960-61. The private sector has always retained a higher
share in the production of phosphatic fertilizer production.
Indian fertilizer industry has reached international levels of capacity utilization by
adopting various strategies for increasing the productions of fertilizers. These include the
following:
Expansion and increase in efficiency through modernization and revamping ofexisting fertilizer units.
Reviving some of the closed fertilizer plants. Using alternative sources, such as coal or liquefied natural gas for the production of
fertilizers, especially urea.
Establishing joint venture projects with companies in countries like Senegal, Oman,Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and other countries that abound in cheaper resources
of raw materials.
Challenges before Indian Fertilizer Industry.
The challenges before the Indian fertilizer industry relate to the incertitude in thesupply of fertilizers. There has been a surge in the demand for fertilizers in the past
few years. Good monsoonal showers have led to the growth in agriculture,
inadvertently increasing the consumption rate of fertilizers. However, the robust
growth in consumption propensity has not been met with the required surge in
fertilizer production. This has widened the gap between the demand and supply of
fertilizers, which has led to an increase in the dependence of the country on imports.
This also reflects on the lack of realizing of the domestic capacity utilization of the
reserves in the country. Another important factor that has led to the stunted growth of the fertilizer industry is
the rise in prices of the feedstock. The fertilizer industry is dependent on gas for the
production of urea and phosphoric acid for the production of phosphatic fertilizers and
DAP. The country imports its inputs from other countries. The overseas suppliers
of raw materials realize the predicament of the Indian fertilizer industry and have
started exploiting the shortage through clever pricing.

In recent years, some of the private companies, dedicated to the production of fertilizers
have affectively taken stakes in the overseas sources of raw materials.
Future Trends
India's demand for fertilizers in 2007-08 was 26 MM tons, which went up to 29 MMtons in 2008-09 against a supply of 20 MM tons in 2008-2009.
The demand for fertilizers in 2011-12 is forecasted to be around 35.5 MM tons. More fertilizer projects are in the pipeline. Gujarat is expected to play a leading role in fertilizer production. Indian companies have penetrated the overseas market, signaling a new phase for the
industry.

Oswal Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited:
Incorporated in 1981, Oswal Chemicals & Fertilisers Ltd (OCFL) belongs to the
Oswal Agro Group of companies promoted by Abhay Oswal. OCFL (formerly known as
Bindal Agro Chem Ltd) was initially started as a trading company and entered into the
manufacture of refined vegetable oil through acquisitions. The company acquired the LDPE
division of ICI, which was later shut down as operations became uneconomical. In a major
diversification, OCFL in FY96 commissioned an Rs 1368-mn gas-based urea plant at
Shajahanpur in Uttar Pradesh. OCFL has the capacity to produce 850,000 tonn per annum of
urea at Shahjahapur in UP. The company has exited from its vegetable oil business. The
fertilizer business is predominantly equity-financed, leading to a lower cash cost of
production, increasing the companys competitiveness over new gas-based urea plants. OCFL
has units at Nangal, Bhatinda and Panipat and Vyajpur. The company changed its name in
September 1995 to Oswal Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited.

According to the Markowitz model, the securities between which there is the least
correlation or the negative correlation will be selected. In this case, two securities Nestle and
Oswal is selected because the correlation between them is negative than all the other
combinations. The correlation between these two securities is (-0.008) which is lesser than all

the other combinations. Here we take the Oswal security as security (x) and Nestle security
as (Y) and we will calculate the weightage as per the below formula.
Wx = 2yx* y * rxy
2x + 2y2 *x*x*rxy
= (1.6151*1.6151-3.2034*1.6151*-0.008) / (3.2034*3.2034+1.6151*1.6151-
(2*3.2034*1.6151*-0.008))
= 0.2046
Approximately= 20%
Wx = 0.2046
Now, Wy = 1 - Wx
Wy = 10.2046
Wy = 0.7954
Approximately = 80%
So as per the Markowitz model, investor should invest 20% in Oswal and 80% in
Nestle security to get the maximum return by minimizing the risk

From the above table no single security can be selected in the portfolio. Because as
per the criteria of Sharpe model the securities can be selected when Ci is greater than (Ri-
Rf)/im i.e. when the cut-off rate is greater than . So by following this rule no security can
be selected for the portfolio.
So for the better investment opportunity and to construct more efficient portfolio, one
should consider other sectors of economy or can consider the same sector, the scrips other
then selected as a sample for portfolio construction.

Conclusion and Suggestions:
On the basis of various data collected for each selected sample scrip, a portfolio has been
constructed by using two techniques. They are;
Markowitz model. Sharp model.According to the Markowitz model analysis and findings, two securities namely Oswal
and Nestle are selected for a portfolio construction out of the 8 securities. Both the companies
are negatively correlated with each other. So the performance of one company does not
depends upon the other and so in this way investor can diversify his fund for minimizing the
risk and maximizing the return. So in case if one scrip does not perform well than it is not
necessary that the other scrip will also not perform well and so the investor will be able to get
return and advantage of one scrip which is performing well. The calculations suggest that the
weight age of Oswal is 80% and that of Nestle is 20%.
The main motive of Markowitz model is to diversify the risk by selecting the negatively
correlated or least correlated scrips having the ideal weightage of 49% and 51%. But as per
the analysis, by selecting this investment option investor cannot diversify the risk up to the
satisfactory level as the weightage of the scrips came to be at 20% and 80% which is not
considered to be ideal or nearer to ideal. So he should not go with this investment pattern,
alone.
Along with the Markowitz according to the Sharp model calculations also, no security can
be selected for a portfolio construction out of the 8 analyzed securities because from all these
securities no combination of the securities can help investor to get the maximum return at
minimized level of risk.
So as per the calculations and findings, the sharp model resulted into disselection of
security whereas Markowitz calculations suggested a portfolio of two securities. This
indicates that with the help of Markowitz and Sharpe model, optimum portfolio cannot be
constructed. Because of this reason it is always better to have more number of securities in a
portfolio because it helps to minimize the risk and maximize the return of the portfolio or
investor should try other portfolio construction theory other then these two. Also the investor
can consider other sectors of the economy for portfolio construction. In true sense, the

portfolio of any investor does not consists of only equity, but it also consist of debt and other
long term and short term investment avenues and the scrips are selected on the basis of the
market trend, fundamentals of the company, state of the economy and such and less of with
the help of theoretical tools like Markowitz Model and Sharpe Model.
