In addition, Tata Motors offers customized heavy vehicles for defense solutions. Under its Passenger Cars segment, it
offers small mini and compact cars, mid size and utility vehicles. The company, through the acquisition of Jaguar in
2008, also began offering premium luxury cars. Thus a broad product portfolio helps the company cater to a
diversified customer base, which in turn mitigates the various risks associated with the overdependence on a

It has also been able to gain market share in the bus segment with newly developed vehicles from its facilities in Goa
and its joint venture facility at Dharwad. To some, the year under review would be viewed with great despondency.
The company faces a major decline in demand across its product range, it must bear the burden of the major
acquisition of JLR, and be faced with a major collapse in vehicle demand in Western Europe and the U.S. But to
many in the company this is yet another year of challenges with the excitement of meeting such challenges head-on.
The spirit, commitment and dedication of the whole Tata Motors team at all its locations and across all levels is truly
phenomenal and this continues to be the company's greatest asset. I feel confident that if we can sustain our
operations through this difficult period, taking whatever steps we need to take to see the year through, we could
overcome all the obstacles in our path.

The global slowdown also had a significant impact on the Jaguar Land Rover company which Tata Motors acquired in
June 2008. Sales of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands declined by 20% and 51% respectively from October 2008 –
March 2009 as compared to the corresponding period in the previous year as the demand for premium vehicles
declined. The Year in Review Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) This has been the first year since the acquisition of the
company by Tata Motors and the working relationship has been evolving continuously. Tata Motors recognized that
these two global brands, namely, Jaguar and Land Rover, needed to retain their identity, design and technical
independence as also their image in the marketplace, while at the same time integrate with the management of Tata
Motors, and find synergies in the capabilities and facilities between the two companies. Considerable progress has

Overview
Tata Motors Limited is India’s largest automotive company, which is engaged in manufacturing commercial and passenger vehicles. The
company's strong market position and diversified product portfolio are its strengths. Further, product innovations and strategic acquisitions
could ensure a strong future. However, declining sales in its core businesses and limited liquidity position are areas of concern for the
company. Global economic slowdown and intense competition could also affect the company's growth.
Strengths
Expanding Market Share in Sector
The company's compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for revenue was 38.2% during 2005-2009. This was above the S&P 500
companies average* of 11.1%. A higher than S&P 500 companies average* revenue CAGR indicates that the company has outperformed
the average S&P 500 companies growth and gained market share over the last four years. The company achieved this growth due to
better competitive positioning and superior products and services offering compared to other companies in the S&P 500 index.
Tata Motors holds strong market position in Indian automobile industry particularly in commercial vehicle segment. It is the world's fourth
largest truck manufacturer and second largest manufacturer of buses. It also holds a leading position in nearly all commercial vehicle
segments. Further, it is the largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India and second largest passenger car manufacturer. Tata Motors
has emerged as an international automobile company. During the fiscal year that ended March 2009, it held a market share of 63.8% in
the commercial vehicle sector in the Indian market. Also, it recently acquired Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company which is the second
largest truck maker in Korea. It also acquired Jaguar and Land Rover brands in UK. Jaguar Cars Limited was founded in 1922 and is one of
the world’s leading manufacturers of luxury saloons and sports cars. Thus the company’s strong market position provides the company an
advantage while attracting and serving a diverse customer base.
Tata Motors is a fully integrated automobile company, which provides the company full control over its value chain and in turn helps
decrease its production and distribution costs. Its Jamshedpur commercial vehicle business unit is India’s largest and world’s sixth largest
commercial vehicle manufacturer. The company has many manufacturing plants located at Jamshedpur, Pune, Lucknow, and Dharwad and
R&D centers in India, South Korea, Spain, and the UK, which offers medium and heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles,
multi-utility vehicles and passenger cars. Further, the company through its subsidiaries, is engaged in engineering and automotive
solutions, construction equipment manufacturing, automotive vehicle components manufacturing and supply chain activities, machine tools
and factory automation solutions, high-precision tooling and plastic and electronic components for automotive and computer applications
and automotive retailing and service operations. This unit has captive forge and foundry facilities which cater all requirements of steel
forgings and alloy iron castings. All this collectively gives the company a critical competitive advantage with better control over time, cost

and quality, long term service support to customers, technology integration and faster product rollout.
The company boasts of a broad product portfolio in the automobile industry that helps it attract and serve a wide customer base. Tata
Motors product portfolio consists of broad range of product and services. Product line of the company comprises Commercial and
Passenger Vehicles. Commercial Vehicles include Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCV) and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV).
M&HCV includes multi axle rigid truck, tractors, trailers, small commercial vehicles, buses, intercity transportation and charter buses. In
addition, Tata Motors offers customized heavy vehicles for defense solutions. Under its Passenger Cars segment, it offers small mini and
compact cars, mid size and utility vehicles. The company, through the acquisition of Jaguar in 2008, also began offering premium luxury
cars. Thus a broad product portfolio helps the company cater to a diversified customer base, which in turn mitigates the various risks
associated with the overdependence on a particular product segment.
Weaknesses
Decline in Sales of Core Businesses
Although recorded higher revenues in the fiscal year ended March 2009, it suffered lower unit sales in its core businesses. Industrial Sales
of Sports Utility car reduced sharply by 6.5% from the previous year. Total passenger car sales also decreased marginally by 0.5% to
1,525,313. Sale of commercial vehicles decreased by 17.4% from 503,218 in 2008 to 415,262 in the fiscal year ended March 2009. Of
commercial vehicles, M&HCV experienced sharp decline in unit sold by 31.4%. Thus the declining sales in its core businesses could affect
the company’s total sales and hamper its financial position.
The company's current ratio was 1.02 at the end of fiscal year 2009. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 1.4. A lower than
S&P 500 companies average* current ratio indicates that the company is in a weaker financial position than other companies in the S&P
500 index. Also, the company's debt as of March 31, 2009 stood at INR 435,815 million with a debt to equity ratio of 10.6, compared to 1.7
the previous year. During the year, the credit rating for foreign currency borrowings of the company was revised to B (Credit Watch with
Negative Implications) by Standard & Poor and to B3 (Stable) by Moodys’. However, for borrowing in local currency, the rating was revised
by Crisil to A (Stable) and to LA+ by ICRA. With majority of the company’s earnings being diverted towards servicing of its debt
obligations, the company is at a disadvantage while exploiting new opportunities arising in the market.
The company's operating margin was -2.97% for the fiscal year 2009. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 14.7%. A lower
than S&P 500 companies average* operating margin may indicate inefficient cost management or a weak pricing strategy by the company.
The operating margin has decreased 1156 bps over 2008 which may indicate management's low focus on profitability.
The company's return on equity (ROE) was -42.2% at the end of fiscal year 2009. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of
12.9%. A lower than S&P 500 companies average* ROE may indicate that the company may not be using the shareholders' money as
efficiently as other companies in the S&P 500 index and that it is generating low returns for its shareholders compared to other companies
in the S&P 500 index.
Opportunities
Growing Demand for Small and Mid size Cars
The company may find increased opportunities in the small car segment. Owing to the current global economic recession and volatile fuel
prices, the demand for small and mid-size vehicles has been witnessing a strong growth. According to a report by ACEA (European
Automobile Manufacturers Association), European vehicle companies received 13.9% decrease in registration for passenger cars and
37.6% for commercial vehicles in the first five months of the fiscal year 2009. Similarly, market penetration for diesel cars also fell to
46.1% and market share of 4X4s fell to 8.4%. However, small cars market share increased from 38.8% in 2008 to 44.9% for the five
month period of 2009. Thus the company, being a leading manufacturer of small and mid-size cars, can capitalize on its brand image to
garner higher market share in the sector and generate higher revenues.
The company could benefit from the strong growth prospects in the Indian automobile industry. The growing economy coupled with the
growing middle class over the past few years has fuelled the demand for automobiles in the country. Despite the economic slowdown, the
overall production (including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers) increased from 10.85 million vehicles in
2007-08 to 11.17 million vehicles in 2008-09. Passenger vehicles too witnessed an increase from 1.77 million to 1.83 million. The total
vehicles sold during the period were 9.72 million compared to 9.65 million in 2007-08. It is expected that the passenger vehicle sales will
Page 12
OneSource One-Stop Reports for Tata Motors Limited
grow at a CAGR of 12% to reach 3.75 million units by 2014, up from 1.89 million units at the end of 2008-09. This would include 1 million
units contributed from exports. According to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the automobile sales in the overseas
market increased from 1.23 million units to 1.53 million units during the period. Further, to make India a powerhouse in the global
automobile industry, the government launched the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2012. It aims at making India a destination of
choice in the world for design and manufacture of automobiles and auto components. With an output aimed at USD 145 billion, it would
account for 10% of the GDP and would provide employment to 25 million people by 2016. Thus with a strong presence in the Indian
market, Tata Motors stands to benefit from the plan and garner higher market share.
Product Innovations
Tata Motors constantly focuses on new product innovations which helps the company create competitive advantage and build brand equity.
Innovation continues to be a cornerstone of the company’s corporate strategy with significant efforts focused against consumer demands
for products that are convenient and effective. The company launched several new products during the year. These include Indica Vista a
small car, digo CS, Xenon Pickup truck and Nano. It also launched premium luxury vehicles Jaguar XF, XKR, and XFR, Land Rover
Discovery 3, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Additionally, it introduced a new truck range. These innovative product launches helps
the company cater to the changing consumer demands as well as serve diverse markets more efficiently. This helps the company drive
top-line growth and keep the company’s categories vital.
The company could find increased opportunities in the area of fuel efficient vehicles which feature advanced technologies such as hybrids,
clean diesel engines, flexible-fuel ethanol vehicles and a turbocharged direct injection system. According to 'Annual Energy Outlook 2009'
report by Energy Information Administration (US Government), the sale of unconventional vehicles (hybrid) account for 63% of the total
Light Duty Vehicles (LDV) sales. The total sale of hybrid vehicles is estimated to increase from 2.3% of new LDV sales in the year 2007 to
20.6%, and 39.6% by 2015 and 2030 respectively. It is further forecast that the number of hybrid vehicle sales could reach 7.9 million in
2030. Thus, with the unconventional and hybrid vehicles becoming a mainstay in the future automobile market, the company can find huge
opportunities to garner higher market share and increase its revenues.
Strategic Acquisitions
Tata Motors may benefit from its recent acquisitions of iconic British brands Jaguar and Land Rover. Jaguar and Land Rover are engaged in
the manufacture and sale of high end luxury cars and SUVs. This acquisition could give the company entry into luxury and SUV segments.
Further, it can benefit from new product categories and much broader geographies as Jaguar and Land Rover sells in more than 100
countries and has over 2,200 dealers worldwide. It also has three manufacturing plants, one component manufacturing facility and two
state of the art design and engineering center. Key brand models include Jaguar XF, XJ and XK; and Land Rover’s Freelander 2, Defender,
Discovery 4, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover. About 78% of Land Rovers are exported to over 160 countries while about 70% of
Jaguars are exported to 63 countries. Also, Tata Motors’ UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre plc, acquired a 50.3%
holding in Miljo Grenland/Innovasjon (Miljo), Norway. It specializes in the development of innovative solutions for electric vehicles. Miljo will
produce electric vehicles based on Tata Motors’ products, besides manufacturing of state-of-the-art super polymer lithium ion batteries and
the development of related technologies. This investment in Miljo will help the company to develop convenient, affordable and sustainable
mobility solutions through electric and hybrid vehicles. Further, in October 2009, Tata Motors acquired the remaining 79% stake in the
Spain based Hispano Carrocera S.A., as a part of its plans to emerge as a strong player in the Spanish as well as global bus and coach
market. These acquisitions combined with Tata Motors’ strong brand image would help the company attract new customer across the globe
and improve its sales performance in the overseas market.
Threats
Increasing Costs of Input
The increasing price of raw materials could concern the company. The key raw materials used in the automobile industry include rolled
steel, aluminum, glass, plastic and other resin materials. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, producer price indexes for core raw
material inputs such as rolled steel, primary aluminum, plastic materials and resins have increased by 95.81%, 90% and 85.27%
respectively for the last decade. Thus rising input costs could have a major impact on the operational costs of the company, which could
not be easily transferred to the customers as the intense competition could lure away its customers through their low price offerings. As a
result, the margins of the company could be affected.
The financial crisis in the US and its spillover to other economies of the world has caused a major concern to all the industries, which
include automobile manufacturers. The reduced consumer spending in numerous markets worldwide could increase the cyclical downturn in
the automobile industry. Furthermore, the volatility in financial and commodity markets poses risk to the automobile manufacturers. The
private consumption and consumer confidence have dipped in the recent years due to the poor economic conditions. The softening
employment market in the US would further reduce consumer spending on cars, despite a decrease in the crude oil prices. The growth rate
in Europe and emerging markets is also expected to slow down in the next two years. Countries including Spain and the UK in Western
Europe are suffering from weak property markets and the effects are expected to be similar on the automobile market as well. The effects
of the financial crisis are much intense on the financial sector, as the credit spreads have increased sharply. Financial institutions have
tightened their lending criteria and it would mean a fewer number of qualified individuals to avail financing for their cars. Overall, the
adverse economic situation would reduce the growth in the international automobile market and the company may not be in a position to
Page 13
OneSource One-Stop Reports for Tata Motors Limited
shield itself against the backdrop. The financial crisis has already affected the financial results of the group in 2008 and if the scenario
continues, the group may face a major decline in its earnings.
Stricter emission standards could challenge the company’s operations as a whole. After the directive adopted by the European Union (EU)
Commission and the EU Parliament to establish stringent emission standards for passenger and light commercial vehicles in 2005 and
subsequent years through EURO 4 legislation, new directives are on the way. There is an ongoing discussion among the EU legislative
bodies to introduce a more stringent emission standard, EURO 5 by 2009 followed by even more stringent EURO 6 standards, which if
adopted would be mandated by 2015. In China too, there are phase-wise regulations similar to the EURO series of emission regulations,
implemented since 2005. The Step 4 regulations which would follow the Step 3 regulations (implemented earlier in 2005) are expected to
be implemented from 2010. Similarly, in Australia, regulations equivalent to or more stringent than the Euro 4 are likely to be
implemented. In addition, in the US market, the California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation has been adopted since 2005. The ZEV,
which was earlier implemented in the states of New York, Massachusetts and Vermont, would be extended to the state of Maine and the
state of New Jersey from 2009. The stricter emission standards could necessitate the company to redesign its vehicles, in turn increasing
its compliance costs. In case of failure to adopt in the stipulated time or failure to comply with the regulations at any point of time could
lead to hefty fines and penalties on the company.
Intense Competition
The growing competition in the automobile industry could impact the business of the company. Companies in the industry compete on
factors like product quality and features, pricing, reliability, safety, fuel economy, customer service, innovation and product development
time, ability to control costs and financing terms. The competition in the industry is likely to further intensify with the continuing
globalization and consolidation in the global market. Further, improving infrastructure and robust growth prospects in its domestic Indian
market has lured many global players to foray and exploit the region’s opportunities. These players compete with larger financial
capability, global brand image, and multiple product platforms. These competitive pressures could cause the company’s products to lose
market share or result in significant price and margin erosion, which could have a material adverse effect on its business operations.
The company’s operations are subject to various risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates related to countries in which it operates.
These risks primarily relate to fluctuations of Indian Rupee against GBP, US Dollar and Euro. The company imports raw materials, capital
equipment and components as well as sell its vehicles in various countries. Since these transactions are denominated in foreign currencies,
primarily the US Dollar and Euro, any adverse fluctuation in these currencies may impact the operational performance of the company.
