INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction of Indian Automobile Industry

The Indian automobile industry has historically been a good indicator of how well
the economy is doing, as the automobile sector plays a key role in both
macroeconomic expansion and technological advancement. The two-wheelers
segment dominates the market in terms of volume, owing to a growing middle
class and a huge percentage of India’s population being young. Moreover, the
growing interest of companies in exploring the rural markets further aided the
growth of the sector. The rising logistics and passenger transportation industries
are driving up demand for commercial vehicles. Future market growth is
anticipated to be fueled by new trends including the electrification of vehicles,
particularly three-wheelers and small passenger automobiles.

India enjoys a strong position in the global heavy vehicles market as it is the
largest tractor producer, second-largest bus manufacturer, and third-largest heavy
truck manufacturer in the world. India’s annual production of automobiles in FY22
was 22.93 million vehicles. India has a strong market in terms of domestic demand
and exports. In November 2023, total passenger vehicle sales reached 3,34,130*.
Sales of Passenger Vehicles in November 2023 have been the highest, with a
marginal growth of 3.7%, compared to November 2022. In FY23, total automobile
exports from India stood at 47,61,487. This sector's share of the national GDP
increased from 2.77% in 1992-1993 to around 7.1% presently. It employs about 19
million people directly and indirectly.

India is also a prominent auto exporter and has strong export growth expectations
for the near future. In addition, several initiatives by the Government of India such

Page 7 of 104
as the Automotive Mission Plan 2026, scrappage policy, and production-linked
incentive scheme in the Indian market are expected to make India one of the global
leaders in the two-wheeler and four-wheeler market by 2022.

3. Review of Literature

3.1 CLSA maintains 'outperform' call on Tata Motors.

Shares of Tata Motors are likely to gain on March 26 morning after
brokerage CLSA maintained its "outperform" call amid rising Jaguar Land
Rover (JLR) retail volumes. It shared a target price of Rs 1,133 a share, an
upside of over 15 percent from the current level. The stock, which was the
best Nifty50 performer in 2023, surged over 25 percent this year, so far,
against a 13 percent rise in the Nifty auto index. The stock hit a 52-week
high of Rs 1,065 on March 5. As JLR's retail volumes increased by 10
percent year-on-year (YoY) in the first two months of 2024, analysts at
CLSA expect the company's profitability to remain strong. "JLR posted 4.5
percent YoY improvement in retail volumes in February 2024. We expect the
company to gain market share in the domestic passenger vehicle segment.
The Jaguar discounts increased, whereas Land Rover saw a decline in
February," the brokerage firm said. Recently, the Tata group
company announced a demerger of its two main business segments of
commercial vehicles (CV) and passenger vehicles (PV), which will include
domestic PV, electric vehicles (EVs) and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). There will
be two separate listed entities housing these divisions and related entities,
with shareholding identical to the current one of Tata Motors.
Earlier, analysts at Elara Securities shared an "accumulate" rating on Tata
Motors, with a target price of Rs 935 a share. "JLR order book as at end-Q3
was 1.5 lakh units (1.6 lakh units as at end-Q2) and the management aims to
pare this to 1.1 lakh units (pre-pandemic level) in the coming months, with
ramp-up in production," they wrote in a recent note.

 3.2 Prabhudas Lilladher
Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Tata Motors
We met with Tata Motors' management to understand the rationale behind
the demerger and receive general business updates. TTMT is on track to
meet its outlined operational metrics, viewing the demerger as having no
impact on these objectives. TTMT expects demerger to offer greater
manoeuvrability, aiming for both entities to operate in a self-sustaining
manner. Although we see limited benefits in terms of value unlocking,
TTMT's confidence reassures us of a sustainable recovery in both the India
PV and JLR. We remain positive on Tata Motors based on: 1) JLR’s volume
ramp-up, leading to strong revenue, profitability, and FCF; 2) a focus on
increasing market share in the PV segment through model launches and
rising EV penetration; and 3) profitable and robust FCF performance, driven
by margin expansion in the CV segment. We have adjusted our estimates
primarily for the India businesses, resulting in a consolidated EPS change of
0.4% for FY24-FY26E, with an estimated CAGR of 12.4% over the same
period.
Outlook
We have increased our EV/EBITDA multiple for the India PV business to
13x to align it more closely with Maruti Suzuki. Consequently, our SoTP-
based TP has been revised upwards to Rs. 1,075. However, given the stock's
sharp runup over the last three months, we are downgrading our
recommendation to 'ACCUMULATE' from 'Buy'.

 3.3 India EV sales to rise 66% this year after nearly doubling in 2023
Electric-vehicle sales in India are expected to rise 66% this year after nearly
doubling in 2023 as state subsidies help fuel demand and supporting
infrastructure comes up in the country, according to research firm
Counterpoint. The rapid growth in sales comes at a time when EV growth in
other key markets such as the United States and China are slowing. The
report forecasts that by 2030, EVs are expected to represent nearly a third of
India's personal vehicle market.
India's EV market, small but growing, is dominated by domestic carmaker
Tata Motors. Electric models made up 2% of total car sales in 2023 but the
government is targeting 30% by 2030. The Indian government last month
lowered EV import taxes on certain models if carmakers commit to invest at
least $500 million and start domestic manufacturing within three years, a
move seen as a win for foreign automakers including Tesla. Reuters reported
on Thursday that Tesla has begun production of right-hand drive cars at its
plant in Germany for export to India later this year. Vietnamese automaker
VinFast also plans to invest $2 billion in the country and in February began
constructing a factory in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
BY THE NUMBERS
Tata Motors held more than two-thirds of the country's EV market last year,
but lost ground to Mahindra & Mahindra and Chinese automaker BYD,
according to the Counterpoint report. Mahindra & Mahindra recorded EV
sales growth of nearly 2,500% last year with just one model, the all-electric
SUV XUV400. BYD also made a big splash in the region last year, reporting
over 1,500% in EV sales growth in the country with just two models in its
India line-up, the e6 MPV and Atto 3 SUV.

volume, and/or open interest of a security or contract used by traders who follow
technical analysis. By analyzing historical data, technical analysts use indicators to
predict future price movements.

How Technical Indicators Work

Technical analysis is a trading discipline employed to evaluate investments and

identify trading opportunities by analyzing statistical trends gathered from trading
activity, such as price movement and volume. Unlike fundamental analysts, who
attempt to evaluate a security’s intrinsic value based on financial or economic data,
technical analysts focus on patterns of price movements, trading signals, and
various other analytical charting tools to evaluate a security’s strength or weakness.

Technical analysis can be used on any security with historical trading data. This
includes stocks, futures, commodities, fixed-income, currencies, and other
securities. In this tutorial, we’ll usually analyze stocks in our examples, but keep in
mind that these concepts can be applied to any type of security. In fact, technical
analysis is far more prevalent in commodities and forex markets, where traders
focus on short-term price movements.

Technical indicators, also known as “technicals,” are focused on historical trading

data, such as price, volume, and open interest, rather than the fundamentals of a
business, such as earnings, revenue, or profit margins. Technical indicators are
commonly used by active traders, since they’re designed to analyze short-term
price movements, but long-term investors may also use technical indicators to
identify entry and exit points.

Tata Motors Price Indicators

• Relative Strength Index (RSI): The Relative Strength Index (RSI), is

a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price
movements. The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Traditionally
the RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when
below 30. Tata Motors currently has a RSI of 52 which is a neutral
zone that is it suggest a fresh entry is not promoted but if already we
have an active position then we can hold it for more gains.
• Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD): Moving
average convergence/divergence (MACD) is a technical indicator to
help investors identify price trends, measure trend momentum, and
identify market entry points for buying or selling. Moving average
convergence/divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum
indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving
averages (EMAs) of a security’s price. Tata Motors MACD is of 6.47
value which is supposedly a good fresh entry for the stock.
• Exponential Moving Averages: An exponential moving average
(EMA) is a widely used technical chart indicator that tracks changes
in the price of a financial instrument over a certain period. Unlike
simple moving average (SMA), EMA puts more emphasis on recent
data points like the latest prices. Tata Motors 5,10-, and 20-day EMA
suggests a sell while 50,100- and 200-day EMA suggest a buy this
shows that for a long-term investment purpose the current price is a
fair price to buy while for short term trading purpose it is better to
short the stock.

 • Ultimate Oscillator: The indicator uses three timeframes in its
calculation: seven, 14, and 28 periods. The shorter timeframe has the
most weight in the calculation, while the longer timeframe has the
least weight. Buy signals occur when there is bullish divergence, the
divergence low is below 30 on the indicator, and the oscillator then
rises above the divergence high. A sell signal occurs when there is
bearish divergence, the divergence high is above 70, and the oscillator
then falls below the divergence low. Tata motors ultimate oscillator
has a value of 53.7 hence it suggests a buy rating.
• Price Rate of Change (ROC): The Price Rate of Change (ROC) is a
momentum-based technical indicator that measures the percentage
change in price between the current price and the price a certain
number of periods ago. A rising ROC above zero typically confirms
an uptrend while a falling ROC below zero indicates a downtrend.
Tata motors ROC is at 0.96 which indicates a fresh buy signal for the
stock.

6.5 Fibonacci Analysis

Fibonacci analysis, also known as Fibonacci retracement or Fibonacci levels, is a

technical analysis tool used by traders and investors to identify potential levels of
support and resistance in financial markets. It is based on the Fibonacci sequence, a
mathematical sequence discovered by the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa,
commonly known as Fibonacci, in the 13th century. The sequence starts with 0 and
1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones (0, 1, 1, 2, 3,
5, 8, 13, 21, and so on).

In Fibonacci analysis, traders apply Fibonacci ratios derived from this sequence to
price movements in financial assets. The key Fibonacci ratios used in this analysis
include:

1. 23.6%: This level is derived by dividing a number in the Fibonacci sequence

by the number two places to its right (e.g., 21 divided by 89), resulting in
approximately 0.236, or 23.6%.

2. 38.2%: This level is derived by dividing a number in the Fibonacci sequence

by the number one place to its right (e.g., 21 divided by 55), resulting in
approximately 0.382, or 38.2%.

3. 50%: While not directly derived from the Fibonacci sequence, the 50%
retracement level is widely used in Fibonacci analysis due to its
psychological significance. It represents a halfway point between the high
and low of a price movement.

4. 61.8%: This level is derived by dividing a number in the Fibonacci sequence

by the number one place to its left (e.g., 21 divided by 34), resulting in
approximately 0.618, or 61.8%.

Page 94 of 104
 5. 100%: This level represents the starting point or the peak of a price
movement and serves as a reference point for retracement levels.

Traders use Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential areas of support or

resistance where the price of an asset may reverse direction or experience a
significant pullback. For example, if a stock is in an uptrend, traders may use
Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential buying opportunities at levels
corresponding to the 38.2%, 50%, or 61.8% retracement levels. Conversely, in a
downtrend, traders may look for potential selling opportunities at these Fibonacci
levels as the price retraces higher.

It's important to note that Fibonacci analysis is just one tool among many used in
technical analysis, and its effectiveness can vary depending on market conditions
and other factors. Traders often use Fibonacci analysis in conjunction with other
technical indicators and analysis techniques to make informed trading decisions.

The indicator is useful because it can be drawn between any two significant price
points, such as a high and a low. The indicator will then create the levels between
those two points. Fibonacci retracements can be used to place entry orders,
determine stop-loss levels, or set price targets. Fibonacci retracement levels are
static, unlike moving averages. The static nature of the price levels allows for
quick and easy identification. That helps traders and investors to anticipate and
react prudently when the price levels are tested. These levels are inflection points
where some type of price action is expected, either a reversal or a break.

The above chart after plotting the Fibonacci Retracement levels to it confirms that
there is a strong support at the at its 38.2% retracement i.e at 925 and since the
stock has shown a strong uptrend hence it is safe to say that we can buy Tata
motors with a stop loss 925 for a higher rate of return. To find a strong upside
potential we can use Fibonacci Extension and according to the chart below it
shows that we can see the stock rallying up to a level of 1300.

In recent years, Tata Motors has witnessed fluctuations in revenue growth,

primarily due to market dynamics and economic conditions. The COVID-19
pandemic further impacted its operations, leading to a temporary downturn in
sales. However, the company has shown resilience by implementing cost-saving
measures and focusing on efficiency improvements.

Profitability metrics, including gross margin, operating margin, and net profit
margin, provide insights into Tata Motors' ability to generate profits from its
operations. Despite facing challenges, the company has maintained relatively
stable profitability levels, albeit with some fluctuations. This indicates the
effectiveness of its cost management strategies and operational efficiency.
