The Indian automobile industry is riding high, like never before. They say that history has an eerie habit ofrepeating itself. As far as the automobile industry is concerned, the monumental returns and the off-the-charts growth rates reported in India recently bear testimony to this adage. The events that unfolded inDetroit years ago seem to be repeating themselves today, in India. For the automobile industry, future inIndia seems like an evergreen pasture!
Overview of the Indian Automobile IndustryStarting its journey from the day when the first car rolled on the streets of Mumbai in 1898, the Indianautomobile industry has demonstrated a phenomenal growth to this day. Today, the Indian automobileindustry presents a galaxy of varieties and models meeting all possible expectations and globallyestablished industry standards. Some of the leading names echoing in the Indian automobile industryinclude Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra, Hyundai Motors, Hero Honda and HindustanMotors in addition to a number of others.
During the early stages of its development, Indian automobile industry heavily depended on foreigntechnologies. However, over the years, the manufacturers in India have started using their own technologyevolved in the native soil. The thriving market place in the country has attracted a number of automobile
manufacturers including some of the reputed global leaders to set their foot in the soil looking forward toenhance their profile and prospects to new heights. Following a temporary setback on account of the globaleconomic recession, the Indian automobile market has once again picked up a remarkable momentumwitnessing a buoyant sale for the first time in its history in the month of September 2009. After theeconomic downturn and difficult market conditions in the automotive sector globally in 2008-09, during theyear, economies across the world (with a few exceptions) showed signs of recovery and growth. The Indianeconomy bounced back quickly and strongly growing at 7.2% in 2009-10. The automotive sector in Indiastarted the year steadily, gathered momentum in different segments in the second half of the year and endedthe year with a record growth and performance.
The automobile sector of India is the seventh largest in the world. In a year, the country manufactures about2.6 million cars making up an identifiable chunk in the worlds annual production of about 73 million carsin a year. The country is the largest manufacturer of motorcycles and the fifth largest producer ofcommercial vehicles. Industry experts have visualized an unbelievably huge increase in these figures overthe immediate future. The figures published by the Asia Economic Institute indicate that the Indianautomobile sector is set to emerge as the global leader by 2012. In the year 2009, India rose to be the fourthlargest exporter of automobiles following Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Experts state that in the year2050, India will top the car volumes of all the nations of the world with about 611 million cars running onits roads.

Share Holding Pattern
Maruti Suzuki, the leader in the passenger car segment has seen volatility in the mix of debt and equity
capital of company over the last 5 years. Sales of the company have increased continuously during the last
decade. Its effect can be seen from the rise in Profit before Interest and Tax Margin (PBT). There is a fall in
PBT in the last year because of a rise in operating expense of the company. Most of the funding
requirements of the company were done by the internal accruals which were created through continuous
profits. Maruti Suzuki will maintain its strong business and financial risk profiles on the back of the healthy
cash generation and good liquidity. The company is expected to sustain its dominant position in the
domestic passenger car segment, given its large product portfolio. Marutis financial risk profile is an also
expected to remain comfortable, with incremental capital expenditure being funded entirely through internal
sources. Though the company has a history of dependence on the internal funds, it has capability of raising
debt if required for funding. Seeing to its good debt equity, there is a chance for the company to acquiredebt for funds required for investment opportunity. Interest coverage ratio is also to be paid on borrowed
amount.

Here DPR has negative relationship with 3 of the 5 variables taken which are Net sales, MarketCapitalization and Capital expenses and has positive relationship with rest two variables that are PATand Cash available to the firm. But here we can see that the coefficients are very small and the factors areless significant. PAT is somewhat significant which changes DPR by .024% if changed by 1%.
From the graph we can conclude that DPS for the company changes with EPS for it, as EPS raises DPSrises and vice-versa. Though the change in DPS is very minor and relatively if we see then it is almostconstant, it follows EPS pattern. Over past 15 years, EPS has reduced at a CAGR of around 10%, and alsothe pay-out ratio remains almost constant between 5% and 10%. From 2000 to 2004, it first becomes zeroand then touches highest value of around 40% and then again comes back to 8% level. Except for these 4years, it remains constant for the rest of the years.
Tata Motors LimitedMarket Capitalisation: 78185.92 Crores

Analysis
The Company recorded a sale of 633,862 vehicles in 2009-10, a growth of 34% over previous year
(472,885 vehicles) in the domestic market in India, representing a 25.5% share in the industry (improving
from 24.4% share in the previous year).The Tata Motors Group turnover was Rs.95, 567 crores, a growth
of 29% over previous year contributed mainly by market recovery, improved realization and successful
launch of new products. Consolidated Profit before Tax was Rs.3, 523 crores (Loss of Rs.2, 129 crores in

In a challenging financial market environment, the Company successfully rolled over in May 2009, the
bridge finance it had obtained for acquisition of the Jaguar Land Rover business for a period of 18 months,
till December 2010. Subsequently, the Company was able to prepay this loan facility in October 2009 fromcertain divestments, improved cash generation from operations and also through fund raised, US$ 375
million from the issue of Global Depository Receipts and US$ 375 million from issue of Foreign Currency
Convertible Notes. The Company will further consider suitable steps to de-leverage and hence de-risk the
balance sheet from volatility and has also taken and will continue to implement suitable steps for raising
long term resources to match the Companys fund requirement and to optimize its loan maturity profile.
In the Last 5 years the debt equity ratio of Tata Motors is has remained around 0.8 which is near to the
industry average of debt to equity. Company has been making huge amount of profits and thus have
sufficient surplus and reserves for funding the requirements of the company. Major proportion of the
liquidity requirement of the company is met internally with the accumulated reserves and surplus. With a
good interest coverage ratio in last 4 years except for the year ended on March 2009, company has been
able to raise the debt easily from the market. There has been significant rise in the debt during the year 2008
because of TATA-Jaguar dealers of the company was around 52 at the end of the year March 2008 when
the Debt-to-equity ratio was 0.7. EPS has decreased during the last year because of fall in sales and also the
equity capital has increased with the right issue. During last year company has also raised fund through
issue of debentures. Company is not in a healthy position to raise debt from the company because currently
the interest coverage ratio is less than 2 which means that company has higher proportion of its profit to be
distributed as interest.

And the Net Sales also impact negatively with avery minute coefficient of 0.002. There is a positive correlation between PAT and DPR, the coefficientof 0.02 implies that a 1% change in Pat would lead to 0.02% change in DPR, both negatively and
positively.

For TATA Motors, if we look at EPS and DPS figures, from the graph we can get that the DPS followsEPS. If EPS increases, company increases the DPS offered to the shareholders. Though the increase isvery small but still it is clearly visible. Moreover if the EPS falls then DPS also falls. We can see from
the graph that there are very high fluctuations in the EPS for the company though over years it has afterfluctuation come again to same level it was in 1995,with a minute fall at -1.41% CAGR. But as aconsequence, dividend pay-out also shows very wide variations in the value over the years between 0%to around 110%. The average pay-out ratio for the company over the years has been around 38%. It canalso be inferred that The Company pays same proportion of EPS as Dividends or it follows a Hybrid
policy of fixed proportion as dividend with extra dividend in case of increasing profits.

Also among these five parameters,
Net sales, PAT and Market capitalization are the significant factors which really impact the DPR and resttwo factors are relatively less significant. By changing Net sales, PAT and Market capitalization by 1%,

change in DPR is .014%, -.21% and .006% respectively. Rest two factors are relatively less significantaccording to their p-values.
For this company, the dividend has been constant till the year 2003, after that from 2003 to 2009; it hasgrown a bit but that growth is also very small so relatively we can assume the company to be a constantdividend company. The EPS for the company increases gradually, except a downfall in the year 2000-01due to global recession. Otherwise it shows increasing trend. Due to this relatively stable EPS, it also hasstable DPR. It remains within a specified limit of 25% to 35% over the past 15 years except for two threeyears during 2000-01 in which global meltdown affects the world markets. During that period, DPR goesup to 55% from 30%. If we talk about EPS, in the past 15 years, it increases at a CAGR of around 3% andits average pay-out for 15 years comes out to be roughly 32%.
