INDIAN TRACTOR INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
and villagers depends upon agriculture for their bread and butter. Since Indian valley
civilization, agriculture is the main source of income but at that time the agriculture was
manual work. Before independence Indian agriculture was in very bad situation. But
since 1947, when India became independent, the farmers also became independent. They
had seen many ups and downs in their income. After independence in five-year plans,
first priority was assigned to agriculture government tried best to improve the industry
but a systematic planned approach for development started in 1950, since than irrigation
was recognized as key factor for agriculture. Education and research were also taken as
a major initiative.
In over six decades of the inception, Escorts has been much more than just being one of
India's largest engineering companies. It has been a prime mover on the industrial front
introducing products and technologies and taking the country forward in key areas.
All these developments made mechanization mandatory for agriculture and imports of
tractors began. Acceptance of mechanization was slow, in fifty’s the use of tractor was
very low. Green Revolution was the result of tractor was barely 10000 in 1970. The
industry was producing around 25000 to 30000 tractors. Today, India is the largest
tractor market estimating 2185000 tractors per annum with the annual growth of 12.3.
Today the tractor industry is of about 5000 crores.
With the 12% of arable land, today India has 4.7% of the world’s tractor. India splits
tractors largely into four categories i.e. 20-30hp, 31-40hp, 41-50hp, 51& above. 21-30hp
Demand for big hp segment is increasing as per the table shown. In the budget of 2011-
12, the central government has given subsidy of Rs. 30000 per tractor. The subsidy was
for the user of low up segment tractors (for small farmers). The government wants to
increase the usage of tractor for higher agriculture production. In the budget of
year2012-13, the finance minister Mr. Yashwant Sinha has levied 8% excise duty on the
imports. This was to save the Indian tractor industry form the slow down of economy
and the East Asian Crises. According to economic survey of 2013-14 the production of
agriculture has dropped by 205%. Until 2014-15 small tractor (below 25hp) were
exempted fro the excise in bid to encourage small farmers. Because in India, almost
According to business India, due to the Mahindra & Mahindra and Swaraj tractors
would be benefited about Rs. 10000 to Rs.12000 per tractor as compared to others,
which imports parts from abroad. The compound average growth rate during last six
years has been around 15%. The level of tractorization is high in Punjab & Haryana at
around 95&74 tractors per thousand hectares respectively. The tractor demand is driven
by agriculture Products, Interest Rates, Total
Agricultural Credit, Total Irrigation Facilities and Crop Pattern. Among them, credit is
strongly correlated with the tractor sale. Nearly 80% of the tractor’s sale is through
credit.
Financial Pattern:
As stated above that 80% of the tractor is financed through credit rates essentially
through commercial banks, regional banks, rural banks and state level land development
banks. The credit worthiness of the farmer is ascertained to have minimum holding of 6
areas of cultivated land to be eligible for loan. However bank can provide a loan on
smaller landholding subject to farmer establishing his credit worthiness. The credit
inflow since financial year 2013 is increasing support from NSBARD. This has already
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Indian agricultural in the fifties followed age bound tradition and was considered
backward. The country did not produce enough food grain to feed its 36 crores
population and famines were recurrent features. Import of food grains became necessary
to meet the short fall in domestic production, there by causing a drain on scare foreign
of agriculture.
First phase of development (2013-14,2014-15):
Farm mechanism made a small beginning in the first five year PLAN. Tractors were
a slow process due to lack of awareness about its economic usefulness and versatility.
The decade 1960 saw green revolution both increase in production and productivity with
the parallel emphasis on industry. The birth of Indian tractor industry took place in
1959-60 when
import was restricted & five manufacturing units were set up in private sector all with collaboration. It

The total indigenous production of tractors by 1965 was just 6000. The real spurt in
mechanization of agriculture came in the introduction of high yielding variety (HYV) of
seeds in 1966-67 and their enthusiastic adoption by farmers, particularly in the wheat
growing northern region. With the successful introduction and acceptance these high
quality seeds there was a upspring in the demand of tractors in 1967 and demand started
consequent of sharp upsurge and consequent shortage was heavy price premium on
tractors : Recognizing the situation , imports of tractors were liberalized and over and
above the domestic production of 20000 in 1970 3000 tractors were imported.
Since the pace of indigenous five tractors manufacturing units already set up far below
expectation, the Government decided to provide diligence to the tractor industry in 1968

Not withstanding the above progress on the setting up to new units. Tractor industry ran
into difficulties from 1969 onwards and by 1972 domestic tractor production stagnated
further compounded by the oil crisis in 1973-74 and the resultant economic crisis and
inflationary pressures, which persisted till middle of 1975.
The tractor market started slowly pocking up from 1975 (31000tractors) because of
relative price stability , govt. directives of the commercial banks increase rural lending
pace of extension of irrigation facilities . This trend continued throughout the late
seventies and by 1979-80 yearly market off take had risen to a level of 62000tractors.
The buoyancy in the tractor market experienced in the late seventies continued tell 1981-82 when 78000
tractors were sold. The encouraging trend led to the setting up of more for the manufacture of tractors

However, the sale of tractors plummeted to a low level of 66000 tractors in the year
1982-83 in the wake of severe credit squeeze imposed by reserve bank of India.
The demand for tractors again picked up when the credit squeeze was eased and a sale
of 80000units was recorded in the year 1984-85 for next year. Tractor industry stagnated
In the year 1987-88 the country saw a severe drought situation. This was a difficult
period and it widely anticipated that crop yield would be severely affected. Under such a
situation it was necessary to have provisions for supply of power, to perform farm
operation, at proper time in order to fully exploit the limited moisture content left in soil.
The versatility in the tractor became evident as this vehicle was used for pumping out
during this period and all time high sale of 90000 tractors was recorded in the drought
The growth trend appears to be continuing with relaxation of tractor financing norms, except for a 2 year
slack period due to general economic slowdown and political turmoil. In fiscal 1997-98 tractors sales
refaced an all time high record of 250000.This impressive growth has influenced 3 more players, as listed

LEADERSHIP TEAM
MANAGEMENT
The financial statements are nothing but the financial information presented in
concise and capsule form, and are the financial information is the information relating to the
financial position of any firm. The firm prepares the financial statements.
• To communicate with different parties about the financial position of the firm
(Shareholders, creditors, banks, financial institution, financial analysts, investors
etc. And
• To analyze the operations and performance of the firm for the further
planning.
The basic source, which provides the financial information, is the Annual report of the
company, which is presented by the company to its shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting.
Clause 43 A of the Listing Agreement (with the stock exchange) requires every
listed company to publish unaudited quarterly results. But it does not mean the non-corporate
firms do not prepare the financial statements. Every firm big or small, prepare the following
financial statements:
The Balance Sheet (BS).
Two other key financial statements, which are usually prepared by corporate firms, are:
Analysis of financial statements refers to the process of the critical examination of the
financial information contained in the financial statements in order to understand and
make decisions regarding the operations of the firm. The AFS is basically a study of the
relationship among various financial fact and figures as given in a set of financial
statements. AFS is the process of establishment and identifying the financial weakness
and strength of the firm. It is indicative of two aspects of a firm i.e. the profitability
and the financial position.
OBJECTIVES OF AFS
The CSS represents the relationship of different items of financial statements with some
Common items by expressing each item as a percentage of the common item. In common size
Balance Sheet, each item of the balance sheet is stated as a percentage of the total balance
sheet. The percentages for different items are computed by dividing the absolute amount of
that item by the Common Base and then multiply by 100. The percentage so calculated can
be easily compared with the corresponding percentage in some other period. Thus, the CSS is
useful not only in intra-firm comparison for the same year or free several years.
The TPA is a technique of studying several financial statements over a series of years. In
TPA, the trend percentages are calculated for each item by taking the figure of that item for
some base year as 100. So, the trend percentage is the percentage relationship, which
Each item of different years bears to the same item in the base year. Any year may be Taken
as the base year, but generally the starting / initial year is taken as the base year. So, each
item for base year is taken as 100 and then the same item for other years is Expressed as a
percentage of the base year.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
(SCFP)
Since the BS & IS of a firm are two basic depicting the financial position of a firm at the end
of the year. These two financial statements are called the traditional statements. Both these
statements fail to throw light on changes in assets, liabilities and shareholders wealth during
this year.
BS deals with the financial position gives only the static view of the year- end financial
position and fails to indicate the movement and causes in assets and liabilities during the
year. Similarly, IS show the profit or loss resulting out of the operations of the firm during
the year? This profit or loss in fact to ascertain the sufficiency of resources to declare the
dividend etc. thus, there is a need to prepare another statement (together with the BS & IS)
which may identify the changes in assets, liabilities and the shareholders funds over a given
period.
The term Working capital (WC) is generally defined as the excess of total current
assets over the total current liabilities. The current Assets (CA) of a firm may include
cash in hand and at bank, stock, debtors, bills, advances etc. and the Current Liabilities
(CL) includes creditors, bills payable, outstanding expenses, provision for tax, short
term liabilities etc. the term WC is a single figure representing the net effect of a
transaction is to increase or decrease the Working Capital by affecting any of the
elements of Current Assets or Current Liabilities. Therefore, the FFS in its standard
form incorporates only those transactions, which affect the Working Capital i. e. those
transactions where in only one of the affected accounted is a current account.
Now a flow of working capital arises when one of the affected accounts is a current
account. From the point of view of current account, the effected on working capital
can examined in the light of the definitions of the term working capital i.e., the excess
of current assets over current liabilities i.e.,
Impliedly change in any of the CA or CL will affect the WC. Simple observation
equation tells that:
• Increase in any of the CA or decrease in any of the CLs will result in increase
in the WC.
• Decrease in any of the CA or increase in any of the CLs will result in decrease
in the WC.
To find out the relative importance of different components of the financial position
of the firm.
• To identify the reasons for change in the profitability / financial position of the
firm, and
• To assess the short term as well as the long term liquidity position of the
firm.
AFS can be undertaken by different persons and for different purposes, therefore the
methodology adopted for the AFS may be carrying from one situation to another. However,
the following are some of the common techniques of the AFS:
In CFS , two or more BS and/or the IS of a firm are presented simultaneously in columnar
form. The Financial data for two or more tears are placed and presented in adjacent columns
and thereby the financial data is provided at times perspective in order to facilitate periodic
comparison. In CFS , the BS and the IS for number of years are presented in condensed
form for year to year comparison and to exhibit the magnitude and direction of changes.
The CFS helps a financial analyst of the firm and in establishing operating and
positional trend of the firm. The CFS may be prepared to show
Customer # 1
We put customers first in everything we do. We take decisions keeping the customer in
mind.
Challenging Spirit
We strive for excellence in everything we do and in the quality of goods & services we
provide. We work hard to achieve what we commit & achieve results faster than our
competitors and we never give up.
Team-work
We work cohesively with our colleagues as a multi-cultural team built on trust, respect,
understanding & mutual co-operation. Everyone's contribution is equally important for
our success.
We are honest, sincere, open minded, fair & transparent in our dealings. We actively
listen to others and participate in healthy & frank discussions to achieve the
organization's goals
A firm undertakes numerous during a year and" most of these transactions during a year and
most of these transactions may affect one or the other current account i.e. most of these
transactions May results in the flow of the WC. Neither is it necessary nor practical to
identify the effect of each and every transaction on the WC. These transactions, instead, are
considered and analyzed in a collective form and then their effect on the WC is identified.
The CFS attempts to analyze the transactions of the firm in terms of cash i.e., the transactions
generating cash and using cash. The focus in the CFS is on cash rather than on WC. The
sources of cash may be the cash profits earned by the firm, issue of capital for cash, issue of
other securities for cash, borrowings, sale of assets, investment, redemption of debenture or
preference share, repayment of loan, payment of tax, dividend distribution etc. Thus, the
CFS summarizes the cash inflows and outflows.
An analysis of cash flows is useful for short-run planning. A firm needs sufficient cash to
debts maturing in the near future, to pay interest and other expenses and to pay dividends to
shareholders. The firm can make projections of cash flows and outflows for the near future to
determine the availability of cash. This cash balance can be matched with the firm's need for
cash during the period, and accordingly, arrangements can be made the deficit or invest the
surplus cash temporarily. A historical analysis of cash flows provides insight to prepare
reliable cash flow projections for the immediate future.
A statement of changes in financial position on cash basis, commonly known as cash flow
statement, summarizes the causes of changes in cash position between dates of two balance
sheets. It indicates the sources & uses of cash. The cash flow statement is similar to the fund
flow statement except that it focuses attentions on cash instead of working capital (funds).
Thus, this statement analyses change in non-current accounts as well as current accounts
(other than cash) to determine the flow of cash.
• The CFS is based on the concept on the WC Where as the CFS is based in cash
which is only the element of WC. Thus , the CFS provides details of cash
movements whereas the FFS provides the details of funds movements.
• The CFS considers only the actual movement of cash whereas the FFS considers the
movements of the funds as defined in terms of net working capital.
CASH-FLOW STATEMENT
A cash-flow statement includes only those items, which affect cash. As such the cash-flow
statement is called a "statement of changes in financial position - cash basis."
A cash - flow statement can be for the past or can be projected for a future period.
The main objectives behind preparing a cash-flow statement can be laid down as under:-
A cash-flow statement provides information for planning the short-term financial needs of the
firm. Since it provides information regarding the sources and utilization of cash during a period,
it become easier for the management to assess whether it will have. Adequate cash to meet day-
to-day expenses and pay the long - term loans and interest .Thereon and whether it has enough
cash to pay for the purchase of fixed assets or not.
USEFUL FOR PREARING THE CASH BUDGET:-
A cash-flow statement prepared for the future period is helpful in preparing a cash budget. It
informs the management about the future period is helpful in preparing a cash budget. It informs
the management about the surplus or deficit periods of cash, i.e., in which months the payments
will be in excess of receipts. It helps in planning the investment of surplus cash in short-term
investment and to plan short-term credit in advance of deficit periods.
A cash budget is prepared at the commencement of the year, whereas a cash flow Statement is
prepared at the end of the year. A comparison between the two helps in ascertaining the extent to
which the financial resources of the firm have been generated and used according to the plan.
Causes of variances between the figures of two statements can be analyzed and proper
corrective measures may be takes.
A cash-flow statement reveals the speed at which the cash is being generated from debtors, stock
and other current assets the speed at which the current liabilities are being paid. It enables the
management to assess the true position of the cash in future.
A firm may earn huge profits yet it may have paucity of cash or when it suffered a loss it may
still have plenty of cash . A cash flow statement explains the reasons for it.
HELPFUL IN ASCERTAINING CASH-FLOW FROM
VARIOUS ACTIBITIES SEPARATELY:-
A cash-flow statement aims at highlighting the cash flow from operating, investing and
financing activities separately. It includes how much cash has been generated or used in these
activities.
Dividend must be paid within 42 days of its declaration. Hence the management takes the help of
cash-flow statement to ascertain the position of cash generated from operating activities, which
can be used for payment of dividend.
The CFS has gained importance in view of the fact that there are many managerial Decisions,
which are taken in the light of the cash availability or cash position of the firm.
For example, declaration of dividend by the company requires cash disbursement and Therefore,
the Board of Directors must consider the cash position before proposing a dividend. The CFS
also provides information for the short term financial planning and in particular the short term
cash needs of the firm.
In view of increasing importance and relevance of the CFS, the clause 32 of the Listing
agreement (between a Company and the Stock Exchange where the shares proposed to be listed)
has been amended by the SEBI. As a result, the listed companies in India are now required to
supply a copy of the CFS to each shareholder as a part of Annual Report. As a result, the listed
companies have started a practice of sending a CFS for which the BS has been prepared as
apart of the Annual Report of the company.
DIFFRENCE BETWEEN CASH - FLOW STATEMENT AND
CASH BUDGET
There is not much difference between cash flow statement and a cash budget. The only
difference is that a cash flow statement is prepared for a past period where as cash budget is
prepared for a future period. Hence, it is of limited use as far as the future periods are
concerned. A cash budget is therefore prepared showing how much cash is likely to be
received and what will be the disbursements during a future period of time. Thus, a cash
budget indicates in which months there will be surplus cash and in which moths there will
be deficiency of cash resources. The management can then take suitable decision to invest
the surplus cash or make arrangement for the deficiency of cash at the required time.
LIQUIDITY
It does not present true picture of the liquidity of the firm the liquidity does not depend
upon cash alone. Liquidity also depends upon those assets, which can be converted into
cash easily.
Exclusion of these assets obstructs the true reporting of the ability of the firm to meet its
liabilities when they become due for payment.
The cash balance can be easily maneuvered by postponing purchases and other payments
and by rapidly collecting cash from debtors before the balance sheet date. Hence, a fund -
flow statement presents a more realistic picture than a cash flow statement.
Cash flow statement ignores non- cash charges. Hence the true position of the
enterprise cannot be judged by cash flow statement.
It is prepared on cash basis and hence ignores one of the basic concept of accounting, namely
accrual concept.
The institute of charted accountants of India has issued accounting standards (as)-3 revised, for
preparing a cash flow statement. This accounting standard has been made mandatory in respect
of accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April 2001, for certain enterprises. These
enterprises are:-
• Enterprises whose equity or debt securities are listed on a recognized stock exchange in
India. And enterprise that are in the process of issuing equity or debt securities that will
be listed on a recognized stock exchange in India.
• All other commercial, industrial and business enterprises, whose turnover for accounting
period Rs 50 crores.
As such, the cash flow statement has been prepared according to as -3 revised in this project.
According to as-3 revised, the cash flow statement summarizes the cash inflows and cash
outflows and the net changes (increase or decrease) in cash and cash equipment resulting from
operating, investing and financing activities of a firm during a period. The following terms are
used for preparing a cash flow statement:
CASH:-
There are short - term, highly liquid investments that are readily into known amounts of cash
and which present insignificant risk of changes in their values. Normally, an investment will be
termed as cash equivalent only if it has a short maturity period, say three months or less, from the
date of its acquisition. Examples of cash equivalent are treasury bills, commercial papers etc.

excluded from cash equivalents unless they are cash equivalent in reality. For example, the
preference shares of the company, which are purchased shortly before their redemption date will

Cash inflow from interest and dividends and cash outflow on account of interest and
dividends should be disclosed separately. Cash inflow arising from interest and dividends
received should be shown as cash flow from investing activities where as cash outflow
disclosed outflow on account of interest and dividend paid should be shown as cash flow
from financing activity.

shown as a deduction under 'cash flow from operating activity'

CASH FLOW STATEMENT
(INDIRECT METHOD)
****
1. Net profit will increase the cash flows; these cash flows will be increased further if
there are any non-cash changes (such as depreciation and amortization)
2. Any payment of dividends will decrease the cash flows; as will the repayment of debt;
an issue of share or debt will also increase the cash flows.
3. An increase in non-cash assets will decrease cash flows; increase in current assets and
fixed assets will result in drain on cash flows.
Thus, a statement of changes in cash flows i.e. the cash flow statement classifies all Changes
into one of three categories - operating, investing, or financing activities, Therefore, the
preparation of a statement of changes in cash flows requires classification of changes in
liabilities, shareholders equity, and non-cash assets into one of these categories, although some
items will not fit easily onto one other.
STEP- BY-STEP PROCEDURE TO PREPARE CFS
For this purpose the opening balance of total cash and cash equivalents is compared with the
closing balance of cash and equivalents.
The difference between the total of opening and closing balance will be increased or
Decreased in cash equivalents during the period. It may be noted that if there are only one or
two of items of cash etc.
So the profit or loss as by the IS may not result in increase or decrease in cash balance by the
same amount.
