INDUSTRY PROFILE
INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY
India’s modern iron and steel industry dates back to the first decade of the present century.
The Tata Iron and Steel Company Ltd (TISCO) were registered in and production at
Jamshedpur commenced in 1911-12.
In the years after independence in 1947, the prerogative for the development of the steel
industry, however, came to be vested in the Indian State. Indian industry, as discussed earlier
had grown in a highly protected and controlled environment with massive tariffs,
administrative control over prices, distribution and imports.
India is the world's fifth largest producer of steel which produces 50 MT of crude steel and 52
MT of finished steel. It is believed that by 2016, India is going to be the second largest
producer of steel and its production is going to be around 137 MT.

17
Galvalume:-
JSW Steel Coated Ltd. in its endeavor to offer superior products to meet its customers’
growing needs has added GALVALUME, a premium metallic-coated steel product, to its
value added products’ basket under technology license from BIEC International Inc., (a
subsidiary of Blue scope steel Australia).
GALVALUME’s revolutionary coating formula was developed by Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, in the year 1972. The coating consists of Aluminum (55% in weight ratio but
80% in surface volume ratio), Zinc (43.5% in weight ratio) and Silicon (1.5% in weight ratio).
The GALVALUME steel coating combines the barrier corrosion protection of aluminums with
the sacrificial protection of zinc, giving the advantages of both metals. The result is a coating
that lasts a long time, a coating that provides cut-edge protection along sheared edges, and
therefore, a coating that offers excellent protection to steel sheet
GALVALUME, in bare as well as pre-painted condition, finds wide application not only where
corrosion resistance is required, but also where high temperature resistance, heat
reflectivity, flexibility, formability and paint ability are required. Color Coated Galvalume,
Essentially a pre-painted GALVALUME, offers the flexibility to create beautiful appearances
in varied colors at the same time packing the superior performance of GALVALUME.
GALVALUME (Bare and Color Coated) will be manufactured at Kalmeshwar Plant
(Maharashtra, India) and the productions were started in 2008.

INTRODUCTION
Ratio analysis is a technique of analyzing the financial statement of industrial concerns.
Now a day this technique is sophisticated and is commonly used in business concerns. Ratio
analysis is not an end but it is only means of better understanding of financial strength and
weakness of a firm.
Ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial analysis which helps in
analyzing and interpreting the health of the firm. Ratios are proved as the basic instrument in
the control process and act as back bone in schemes of the business forecast.
With the help of ratio we can determine
 The ability of the firm to meet its current obligation.
 The limit or extent to which the firm has used its borrowed funds.
 The efficiency with which the firm is utilizing in generating sales revenue.
 The operating efficiency and performance of the company.
Meaning and Definition of Ratio:-
A ratio is simple arithmetical expression of relation of one number to another. It may be
defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions.
According to Wixon, Kell and Bedford, “A ratio is an expression of the quantitative relationship
between two numbers”.
According to Kohler, “A ratio is relation, of the amount, a, to another, b, expressed as the ratio of
a top; a: b (a is top); or as a simple fraction, integer, decimal fraction or percentage”.
In simple language ratio is one number expressed in terms of another and can be worked out by
dividing one number into another.

21
Mode of Expression:-
This relationship (i.e., ratio) may be expressed in either of the following way:
A. In Proportion
B. In Rate or Times or Coefficient
C. In Percentage
1. In Proportion: In this form the amount of two items are being expressed in a common
denominator. The example of this form of expression is relationship between current asset
and current liability as “2:1”.
2. In Rate or Times or coefficient: In this form, a quotient obtained by dividing one item by
another item is taken as unit of expression. The example of this form is sales divided by
stock. It comes 60; thus 6 times ratio between sales and stock. It is important to note that
when ratio is expressed in this form, it is called as ‘turnover’ and it is written in ‘times’.
3. In Percentage: In this form, a quotient obtained by dividing one item by another is
multiplied by one hundred and it becomes the ‘percentage’ form of expression. For
example, the relationship between gross profit and sales may be expressed as 25%.
Meaning and Definition of Ratio Analysis:-
One of the most important financial tools which have come to be used very frequently for
analyzing the financial strengths and weaknesses of enterprise is ratio analysis. Ratio Analysis is
technique of analysis and interpretation of financial statement. It is process of establishing and
interpreting various ratios for helping in making certain decision.
According to Myer, “Ratio analysis is a study of relationship among the various financial factors
in businesses”.
Ratio analysis represents the figure of financial statement in simple and intangible form. Ratio
analysis, in this way, is the process of establishing meaningful relationship between two figure and
financial statement.

22
Nature of Ratio Analysis:-
Though ratio analysis is ‘all the rage’ among the user of accounting information, it is better to
understand the ratio so that they can be employed judiciously under appropriate condition. They
are:
1. The relation between two or more financial data brought out by an accounting ratio is
not an end in itself. They are means to get to know the financial position of an
organization.
2. An individual ratio may not be capable of providing the answer required for the
various problem facing an executive
3. Ration analysis will tend to be more meaningful when certain standard and norms are
laid down so that what the ratio indicate can be compared with the said standards.
This provides a base for decision-making and assist in taking measures to rectify any
drawback or deficiency.
Steps in Ratio Analysis
There are five step involved in the ratio analysis:
1. Selection of relevant data from the financial statement depending upon the objective of
analysis.
2. Calculation of appropriate ratio from the above data.
3. Comparison of calculated ratios with the ratio of the same firm in the past, or the ratios
developed from projected financial statement or ratio of some other firms or the
comparison with ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.
4. Interpretation of ratios.
5. Projection through ratios.

23
ClassificationofRatios:-
Ratios can be classified into different categories depending upon the basis of
classification.
I. TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Traditional Classification has been on the basis of financial statements, on which ratio
may be classified as follows.
1. Profit & Loss account ratios.
E.g. Gross Profit Ratio, Net Profit Ratio, Operating Ratio, Operating Profit Ratio,
Expenses Ratio, Stock Turnover Ratio, etc.
2. Balance sheet ratio.
E.g. Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Absolute Liquid Ratio, Working Capital Turnover
Ratio Debt Equity Ratio, Proprietary Ratio, Capital Gearing Ratio etc.
3. Composite/Mixed ratio.
E.g. Return on Capital Employed, Return on Equity or Shareholder Fund, Earning Per
Share (EPS), Price Earnings Ratio, Capital Turnover Ratio, Debtors Turnover Ratios,
Creditors Turnover Ratio, Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio etc.
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS
Functional ratios
1. Liquidity ratios
a) Current Ratio
b) Quick Ratio
2. Leverage Ratios
i. Debt-equity Ratio
ii. Current Asset to Proprietor’s fund Ratio
iii. Total Debt Ratio
iv. Proprietary/Equity Ratio
v. Capital Gearing Ratio

24
III. PROBABILITY RATIOS
i. Gross profit Ratio
ii. Operating profit Ratio
iii. Return on investment
iv. Operating Ratio
v. Earnings Per Share
vi. Price Earnings Ratio
IV. ACTIVITY RATIO
i. Inventory Turnover Ratio
ii. Asset Turnover Ratio
a. Fixes Asset Turnover Ratio
b. Current Asset Turnover Ratio
iii. Working Capital Turnover Ratio.
iv. Debtors/Receivable Turnover Ratio
v. Creditors/Payable Turnover Ratio
vi. Capital Turnover Ratio
1. Liquidity Ratio: These are the ratios, which measures the short term solvency or
financial position of a firm. These ratios are calculated to comment upon the short
term paying capacity of a concern or at the firm’s ability to meet its current obligation.
The various liquidity ratios are current ratio, liquid ratio and absolute liquid ratio.
Further to see the efficiency with which the liquid resources have been employed by
the firm, debtor’s turnover and creditor’s turnover ratios are calculated.
2. Solvency/Leverage Ratio: Leverage ratios are the financial statement ratio which
shows the degree to which the business is leveraging itself through its use of borrowed
money. By using a combination of assets, debt, equity and interest payment, leverage
ratio are used to understand a company’s ability to meet it long term obligations.
3. Turnover/Activity Ratio: Activity ratio are calculated to measure the efficiency with
which the recourses of the firm have been employed. These ratio are also called
activity ratio because they indicate the speed with which asset are being turned over
into sales, e.g., debtors turnover ratio.

25
4. Profitability Ratio: These ratio measures the result of business operations or overall
performance and effectiveness of the firm, e.g., gross profit ratio, operating ratio,
return on capital employed.
Ratio Analysis enables the business owner/manager to spot trends in a business and to
compare its performance and condition with the average performance of similar businesses in
the same industry. To do this compare your ratios with the average of businesses similar to
yours and compare your own ratios for several successive years, watching especially for any
unfavorable trends that may be starting. Ratio analysis may provide the all-important early
warning indications that allow you to solve your business problems before your business is
destroyed by them.
The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Income are essential, but they are only the starting
point for successful financial management. Apply Ratio Analysis to Financial Statements to
analyze the success, failure, and progress of your business.
Importance of financial statement analysis in an organization
In our money-oriented economy, Finance may be defined as provision of money at the time it
is needed. To everyone responsible for provision of funds, it is problem of securing
importance to so adjust his resources as to provide for a regular outflow of expenditure in
face of an irregular inflow of income.
1. The profit and loss account (Income Statement).
2. The balance sheet
In companies, these are the two statements that have been prescribed and their contents have
been also been laid down by law in most countries including India.

26
There has been increasing emphasis on
(a) Giving information to the shareholder in such a manner as to enable them to grasp it
easily.
(b) Giving much more information e.g. funds flow statement, again with a view to facilitating
easy understanding and to place a year results in perspective through comparison with post
year results.
(c) The directors report being quite comprehensive to cover the factors that have been
operating and are likely to operate in the near future as regards to the various functions of
production, marketing, finance, labor, government policies, environment in general.
Financial statements are being made use of increasingly by parties like Bank, Governments,
Institutions, and Financial Analysis etc. The statement should be sufficiently informative so
as to serve as wide a curia as possible.
The financial statement is prepared by accounts based on the activities that take place in
production and non-production wings in a factory. The accounts convert activities in
monetary terms to the help know the position.

27
 Uses of Financial Statement Analysis.
The main uses of accounting statements for; -
Executives: - To formulate policies.
Bankers: - To establish basis for Granting Loans.
Institutions Auditors: - To extend Credit facility to business.
Investors: - To assess the prospects of the business and to know
whether they can get a good return on their investment.
Accountants: - To study the statement for comparative purposes.
Government Agencies: - To study from an angle of tax collection duty levee etc.

 OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of resentstudy aimed as:
 To evaluate the performance of the company by using ratios as yardstick to measure
the efficiency of the company.
 To understand the Liquidity, profitability and efficiency positions of the company
during the Study period.
 To evaluate and analyze various facts of the financial Performance of the company.

 To study the profitability of the company.
 To study the balance sheet of the company.
 To study the current position.
Calculation of various ratios and determining financial condition of the company through
balance sheet

30
 IMPORTANCE
Ratio analysis is an important technique of financial analysis. It is a means for judging the
financial health of a business enterprise. It determines and interprets the liquidity, solvency,
profitability, etc. of a business enterprise.
o It becomes simple to understand various figures in the financial statements through
the use of different ratios. Financial ratios simplify, summaries, and systemize the
accounting figures presented in financial statements.
o With the help of ratio analysis, comparison of profitability and financial soundness
can be made between one industry and another. Similarly comparison of current year
figures can also be made with those of previous years with the help of ratio analysis
and if some weak points are located, remedial measures are taken to correct them.
o If accounting ratios are calculated for a number of years, they will reveal the trend of
costs, sales, profits and other important facts. Such trends are useful for planning.
o Financial ratios, based on a desired level of activities, can be set as standards for
judging actual performance of a business. For example, if owners of a business aim at
earning profit @ 25% on the capital which is the prevailing rate of return in the
industry then this rate of 25% becomes the standard. The rate of profit of each year is
compared with this standard and the actual performance of the business can be judged
easily.
o Ratio analysis discloses the position of business with different viewpoint. It discloses
the position of business with liquidity viewpoint, solvency view point, profitability
viewpoint, etc. with the help of such a study, we can draw conclusion regarding the
financial health of business enterprise.

31
 ADVANTAGES
Ratio analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial analysis. The following are
some of the advantages of ratio analysis:
Simplifies financial statements: It simplifies the comprehension of financial
statements. Ratios tell the whole story of changes in the financial condition of the
business.
Facilitates inter-firm comparison: It provides data for inter-firm comparison.
Ratios highlight the factors associated with successful and unsuccessful firm.
They also reveal strong firms and weak firms, overvalued and undervalued firms.
Helps in planning: It helps in planning and forecasting. Ratios can assist
management, in its basic functions of forecasting. Planning, co-ordination, control
and communications.
Makes inter-firm comparison possible: Ratios analysis also makes possible
comparison of the performance of different divisions of the firm. The ratios are
helpful in deciding about their efficiency or otherwise in the past and likely
performance in the future.
Help in investment decisions: It helps in investment decisions in the case of
investors and lending decisions in the case of bankers etc.

32
 LIMITATION
The ratios analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial management. Though ratios
are simple to calculate and easy to understand, they suffer from serious limitations.
 Limitations of financial statements: Ratios are based only on the information
which has been recorded in the financial statements. Financial statements
themselves are subject to several limitations. Thus ratios derived, there from,
are also subject to those limitations. For example, non-financial changes
though important for the business are not relevant by the financial statements.
Financial statements are affected to a very great extent by accounting
conventions and concepts. Personal judgment plays a great part in determining
the figures for financial statements.
 Comparative study required: Ratios are useful in judging the efficiency of
the business only when they are compared with past results of the business.
However, such a comparison only provide glimpse of the past performance
and forecasts for future may not prove correct since several other factors like
market conditions, management policies, etc. may affect the future operations.
 Problems of price level changes: A change in price level can affect the
validity of ratios calculated for different time periods. In such a case the ratio
analysis may not clearly indicate the trend in solvency and profitability of the
company. The financial statements, therefore, be adjusted keeping in view the
price level changes if a meaningful comparison is to be made through
accounting ratios.
 Lack of adequate standard: No fixed standard can be laid down for ideal
ratios. There are no well accepted standards or rule of thumb for all ratios
which can be accepted as norm. It renders interpretation of the ratios difficult.
 Limited use of single ratios: A single ratio, usually, does not convey much of
a sense. To make a better interpretation, a number of ratios have to be
calculated which is likely to confuse the analyst than help him in making any
good decision.

33
 Personal bias: Ratios are only means of financial analysis and not an end in
itself. Ratios have to interpret and different people may interpret the same
ratio in different way.
 Incomparable: Not only industries differ in their nature, but also the firms of
the similar business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures etc.
It makes comparison of ratios difficult and misleading.

understood as a science of studying now research is done systematically. In that various steps,
those are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his problem along with the logic
behind them.
“The procedures by which researcher goes about their work of describing, explaining
and predicting phenomenon are called methodology”
TYPE OF RESEARCH:-
This project “A Study of Ratio Analysis in JSW Ispat, kameshwer, Nagpur Ltd” is
considered as an analytical research.
Analytical Research is defined as the research in which, researcher has to use facts or
information already available, and analyze these to make a critical evaluation of the facts,
figures, data or material.
SOURCE OF RESEARCH DATA:-
There are mainly two through which the data required for the research is collected.
PRIMARY DATA:
The primary data is that data which is collected fresh or first hand, and for first time which is
original in nature.
SECONDARY DATA:
The secondary data are those which have already collected and stored. Secondary data easily
get those secondary data from records, annual reports of the company etc. It will save the
time, money and efforts to collect the data.
The major source of data for this project was collected through annual reports, profit and loss
account of year period from 2011-2015 & some more information collected from internet and
text sources.

36
SAMPLING DESIGN
Sampling Unit : Financial Statements.
Sampling Size : Last five years financial statements.
Tool Used for calculations: MS-Excel.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:-
1) The study is limited to few ratios because of non availability of detailed financial
data.
2) The study is used on secondary data such as annual report of the company
3) The reliability and accuracy of calculation depends more on information found in
profit and loss a/c and balance sheet.
4) The study is confined only to a period of 5 years.
