3.3 OPPORTUNITIES
Infrastructure growth: the Government of India has been focusing on improving
road infrastructure through two main umbrella programs National Highway
development project bracket NHDP and pradhanmantri gram Sarak yojna
PMGSY. While national highways authority of India NHAI has till date
awarded 65% of the total projects by road length the plan is to upgrade, widen
and strengthen 55,000 kilometers of road network, 35% still remains to be
awarded. Although awarded projects, 36% of the work has been completed and
work on the remaining 29% is under way. The government has planned in
budget for FY 2012 to 2013, to award a further 8800 kilometre of projects,
higher than originally planned. Under the PMGSY coma the government aims
to develop 368, 368 kilometer of ruler roads. Of this, tilted about 23% of
network has been completed including upgradation. These improved
connectivity present a significant opportunity for the company with its wide
product ancient commercial, utility and passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles.
Non cycling business growth :In order to insulate against the psychology of the
automobile industry, specially in the M and HCV segment, the company has
focused on lines of business and customer solutions which are inherently less
cyclic in nature . For example the sale of spares and the aggregate business,
branded Tata genuine parts which has Grown 521% kver in the last five years
and is poised to grow further in FY 2012 to 2013. In order to maintain the
growth, the company has increased distribution reached by 50% over last year .

mechanics and the retailers. A total of 26 six thousand mechanics and 19,000
retailers across India participate in this programs .
These efforts also help us to serve our customers and know their needs and
requirements on an ongoing basis. We have also established rapid customer care
centers all over India to deliver aggregates to customer anywhere in 24 hours.
We are also focusing on other business avenues like refurbishing , MC,
reconditioning, etc .
The company is also focusing on the defense business. With the Government of
India opening up different segments of the defence sector to private players, the
company is targeting moving from pure logistics solution player to tactical and
compact solution , does gaming a greater share of this market. On the back of
aggressive plans by the government in FY 2012 to 2013, the company is aiming
to achieve both its ever new growth and probability from this segment .
Export from India : India has emerged as a major hub for global manufacturing
withered advantage of lower input costs, ability of local supplier base and
qualified and experienced resource base. As an established domestic
manufacturer, the company is ideally placed to live raise the above factors and
pursue lucrative international markets, through the export of fully built vehicles
export or CKD units. The company also has the advantage of a strong in house
design and development team which is capable of developing solution for
different regulatory and emission norms as per market specification in minimal
time. Currently the company is present in Africa and ASCE and markets
through its manufacturing facilities in some of the countries. The company is
also actively considering expanding its global manufacturing foot print in the
Grow the business through new products and market expansion: Jaguar land
Rover’s offer products in the premium performance car and altair and vehicle
segments, and it intends to grow the business by diversifying the product range
within these segments, for example by offering different powertrain
combinations. The new Range Rover evoque has helped expansion into a
market segment that is attracted by a smaller, lighter and more urban off road
vehicle than the market segment in which the companies a Range Rover models
traditionally complete with while the new 2.2 liter diesel XF characters for a
much wider group of potential customer, particularly company car drivers.
3.4 RISK
Deterioration in economic conditions: the impact of the global financial crisis
and European sovereign debt crisis continues to be a cause of concern, despite
concerted efforts to contain the adverse effect of these events on global
recovery.
In addition to India, the company has automotive operations in the UK, South
Africa, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and Indonesia being convinced. The
Indian auto move industry is affected substantially by the general economic
conditions in India and around the world. The demand for automobiles in the
Indian market is influenced by factors including the growth rate of the Indian
economy, easy availability of credit, and increase in disposable income among
Indian consumers, interest rates, flight rates, fuse prices. During the global
financial crisis in FY 2008 to 2009, RBI had eased its monetary policy stance to
stimulate economic activity. Subsequently, as the Indian economy start
recovering from the downturn, inflation pressures increased substantially,
followed by several interests rates hike by RBI. With inflammation moderating
in FY 2011 to 2012, RBI reduce interest rates rapper it and reverse repo rate by
50 basis points in April 2012, however, muted industrial growth along with
higher inflation and higher interest rates still continue to pose downside risks to
overall growth. The auto movie industry is generally in cyclical and economic
slowdowns in the past, have affected the manufacturing sector including the
autumn movie and related industries. Detoriation in key economic factors such
as growth rate interest rates and inflation as well as reduce availability of
Jaguar Land Rover operations have significant presence in the UK, North
America, continental Europe and China, as well as sales operation in many
major countries across the globe. The global economic downturn significantly
impacted the global automobile markets, particularly in the United States and
Europe, including the UK, where Jaguar Land Rover operations have significant
presence. The company strategy with respect to Jaguar Land Rover operation,
which include new project launches and expansion into growing markets such
as China, Russia and Brazil, may not be sufficient to medicate the decrease in
demand for the product established markets and this could have a significant
adverse impact on the financial performance. In response to the recent economic
slowdown, the company further intensified efforts to review and realign our
kusko cost structure such as reducing manpower cost and other fixed costs.
Jaguar Land Rover businesses exploring opportunities to reduce base through
increased sourcing of material from low cost countries, reduction in number of
suppliers, reduction in numbers of platforms, reduction in engineering changes
cost, increased use of offshoring and several other initiatives by the markets
United States in FY 2011 to 2012, have begun to show signs of recovery and
stability, the UK and Europe continue to struggle. If industry demands often
because of the impact of the debt crisis or low or negative economic growth in
key markets or other factors, the results of operation adversely affected and
financial condition could be substantially and adverse ly affected.

.
Now, let’s take a deep dive into the fundamentals of the company.
The company will be evaluated on 10 categories and each would be given a rating
out of 5 stars. From this, we will arrive at a combined stock rating for the
company. As the ratings are based on long term past performance, they are
relevant for at least 3 years in the future until FY 2022. The categories are as
follows.
1. Economic Moat
3. Growth Ratios
4. Profitability Ratios
7. Efficiency Ratios
8. Valuation Ratios
The business model of the company is such that 74% of the revenue comes from
Jaguar Landrover (JLR) business, 23% Overall the business model for the
company is overly dependent on the JLR business. The company hence took a
severe revenue and profitability hit since 2019 due to the slowdown in Chinese
and European markets. The Covid-19 has further worsened the situation further
for the company. The JLR business suffered an 85% slump in sales in China.
Further, the significant spread of the virus in South Korea, Japan and Italy would
also impact sales in those markets. Therefore this category gets 3 stars in TATA
Motors fundamental analysis.
comes from Tata motors limited business and the rest comes from TMF holdings
and others. The JLR division has two major design and engineering sites, three-
vehicle manufacturing facilities, and an engine manufacturing centre in the UK.
It also has plants in China, Slovakia, Austria, Brazil and India, with a new Battery
Assembly Centre to be opened in the UK in 2020. Tata Motors Finance Limited
(TMFL) and Tata Motors Finance Solutions Limited (TMFSL) are Non-Banking
Financial Companies (NBFCs).
3. Growth Ratios (★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆)
The revenue has seen a CAGR growth of 13.9% over the last 10 years. The
operating income and net income has seen a big hit due to the JLR business
slowdown in recent years. The Cap-Ex has also increased linearly with scale, but
this will only create overcapacity in the near future. The working capital has also
been negative and will deteriorate further in the coming years. Therefore this
category gets 3 stars in TATA Motors fundamental analysis.
4. Profitability Ratios (★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆)
The gross margin has declined over the recent years due to the volatile commodity
prices and declining sales in high margin vehicles. The overall profitability has
been severely hit due to the JLR business slowdown and lower absorption of fixed
costs for the company. The Covid-19 situation has also worsened the future
prospects for the company. Therefore this category gets 2 stars in TATA Motors
fundamental analysis.
The net income margin has turned negative and Cap-Ex as a percentage of sales
has almost remained constant. The free cash flow as a percentage of net income
has been dipped significantly and the operating cash flow growth has gone
negative. Thos overall indicates a weal cash flow position for the company.
Further, the situation is not expected to improve in the near future. Therefore this
category gets 2 stars in TATA Motors fundamental analysis.
The company has some long term debt in its capital structure and hence the debt
to equity and the leverage ratios have been fluctuating with the Cap-Ex cycles of
the company. The profitability has also been severely hit and as a result, this has
reduced the solvency position of the company. The current and quick ratio has
also been below the minimum threshold which indicates low liquidity of the
company’s asset. Therefore this category gets 3 stars in TATA Motors
fundamental analysis.
7. Efficiency Ratios (★ ★ ★ ★ ☆)
The table in the excel model is colour formatted so the worst performance over
the period is highlighted in red colour and the best performance is highlighted by
green.
Overall the business efficiency has improved slightly with scale for the company.
The inventory days have remained almost stable over the years but will worsen
due to the JLR slowdown in the global market. The payables period has declined
slightly and receivables period has remained almost constant. Overall the cash
conversion cycle has been improving and remained negative over the years.
Therefore this category gets 4 stars in TATA Motors fundamental analysis.
8. Valuation Ratios (★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆)
The company has seen a severe deterioration in the valuation multiples due to the
JLR issues. The multiples have corrected drastically since 2019 and any recovery
is not on the horizon for the company. The stock however still remains a good
risk-reward based long term investment in a diversified portfolio due to the
backing by the Tata business conglomerate. Therefore this category gets 3 stars
in TATA Motors fundamental analysis.
The leverage ratio has increased and the asset turnover has remained flat over the
years. The interest burden ratio has been fluctuating due to increasing interest-
bearing debt in the capital structure of the company. The operating margin has
seen a severe decline and the tax efficiency has been fluctuating. Overall the
Return on Equity has declined significantly along with profitability. Therefore
this category gets 2 stars inTATA Motors fundamental analysis.
Some insights for the coming years from the analysis, management discussions
and con calls are as follows.
• The company was recovering well due to the improving JLR business in China,
but the Covid-19 outbreak has worsened the situation. The company is suffering
from serious overcapacity, lower absorption of fixed costs and high market
uncertainty. the situation can see any improvement only after the 3rd Quarter of
FY 2021.
• The company has initiated Project Charge+ which targets further savings of
GBP 1.1 billion over the next 15 months. Key drivers for these would be material
and variable cost reduction. This is the plan to revive the JLR business and make
it profitable as before.
Overall the company has seen a significant deterioration of its financial position
and growth prospects due to the JLR crisis and the Covid-19 outbreak across the
world. The share has also corrected significantly and any considerable price
appreciation is not on the horizon. Therefore this category gets 2 stars in TATA
Motors fundamental analysis.

9. MARKETING STRATEGIES
Headquartered in Mumbai Tata Motors (formerly known as TELCO
acronym form for TATA Engineering and Locomotive Company) are an
Indian multinational automotive manufacturing company and a member of
Tata group. Products offered by the company varies from cars, trucks,
vans, coaches, military vehicles, sports cars, buses and construction
equipment.
TATA Motors is ranked as 226th in the Fortune Global 500 list of world’s
biggest corporations as of 2016.
accessing four major aspects of the company before taking any strategic
decision.
Strengths
Strengths are nothing but the areas where you are good at. The qualities or
the offerings that makes you stand out in the competition. For example:
Before launching Jio, Reliance has good market capital and telecom
infrastructure. That helped them to capture more market in less time by
offering services at lower price.
Weakness
Weakness are the areas where there is scope of improvement. The qualities
or the offerings that may fire against you in the competitive environment.
We can say that Reliance has no experience in Telecom Industry before
launching JIO, inexperience can be considered as their weakness. We can
find weaknesses if we evaluate our self critically.
Opportunities
Opportunities are the external avenues that can help you or that can be
explored to gain advantage or bring positive result.
We can make a huge difference if we will be able to utilize these kind of
opportunities. Again for Reliance, the high cost of internet services was
the opportunity. They took opportunity with both hands and penetrated
into market by reducing the prices to minimum.
Threats
Threats include the factors that can affect your business negatively. It is
important to identify the threats as early as possible to avoid the major
losses. We can focus on our competitors when we are accessing the threats
in the markets.
Not only competitors but any external political, social and technological
factors also constitutes threats. The major threat for reliance can be in
retaining their customers, who joined Jio seeing less price if they increase
prices in future.
I hope you have understood about the frame work of SWOT, now lets us
get into SWOT analysis of TATA motors. Before that let us know about
TATA Motors a bit.
