 There had been continuous decrease in net 
profit ratio from 2009-10 to 2011-12. This 
may be attributed to fact that there had been 
constant increase in crude oil prices and 
USD to INR currency exchange rate. As a 
result of it, the cost increases and hence the 
profit decreased. In 2011-12, price of $1 
increases from Rs 44 to Rs 52. As a result, 
there was decrease in profits and hence net 
profit ratio. After that the exchange rates 
remains same and but due to decrease in 
employee benefits and low closing stock 
results in increase in sales, hence revenue 
and therefore net profit margin. It is to be 
noted that the net profit margin didn’t 
increase by a large margin

consumed and purchases 
increased. As a result, gross margin 
decreases and hence gross margin 
ratio. There were high increase in 
purchases in 2011-12, as a result 
percentage increase in gross 
margin decline and hence growth in 
gross margin ratio declined. There 
was huge changes in revenues and 
decrease in closing stock in 2013- 
14 as revenues from new refineries 
(launched in 2013).

in the decline of operating profit. 
There had been huge decline in 
operating profit in 2011-12 due to 
increase in cost prices and as a 
consequence, the operating cost 
increases. There were high 
expenses as exceptional and other 
expenses. The company invested in

in low operating cost. The 
miscellaneous and other expenses

operating profit in 2011-12 due to 
increase in cost prices and as a 
consequences of oil and exchange 
rates, the operating cost increases. In 
2012-13, there was a huge increase in 
the operating assets and operating 
assets declined drastically in 2012-13. 
The current investments of the 
company in 2012-13 increases by over 
10 times and hence a result the return 
on operating assets increases approx. 
by 6 times. Due to high non-current 
investments in 2012-13 and 2013-14, 
the operating assets increases and 
thereby returns.

indicating the fact the company 
believed in risk free game and tried 
to protect the investors’ money.

increase in the ratio and now it is 
more than 1 indicating that the 
portion of assets provided by 
creditors is greater than the portion 
of assets provided by stockholders. 
The company is now started 
investing in higher risk firms. Since 
the ratio is still close to 1, it indicate 
that creditors and stockholders 
almost equally contribute to the 
assets of the business.

Asset Turnover Ratio 
 The asset turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio 
that measures a company's ability to generate 
sales from its assets by comparing net sales 
with average total assets i.e. this ratio shows 
how efficiently a company can use its assets 
to generate sales. Higher turnover ratio 
means the company is using its assets more 
efficiently. Lower ratios mean that the 
company isn't using its assets efficiently and 
most likely have management or production 
problems. 
 The asset turnover ratio remains almost same 
over the 5 years. Since the ratio is close to 2, 
it implies that the company is able to generate 
sales from its assets by comparing net sales 
with average total assets. The ratio reaches 
its peak in 2011-12 due to drastic increase in 
the revenues.
