5. Introduction & History
Company History
Bajaj Auto Limited is India's largest manufacturer of scooters and motorcycles. The company
generally has lagged behind its Japanese rivals in technology, but has invested heavily to
catch up. Its strong suit is high-volume production; it is the lowest-cost scooter maker in the
world. Although publicly owned, the company has been controlled by the Bajaj family since
its founding.
Origins
The Bajaj Group was formed in the first days of India's independence from Britain. Its
founder, Jamnalal Bajaj, had been a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, who reportedly referred to
him as a fifth son. 'Whenever I spoke of wealthy men becoming the trustees of their wealth
for the common good I always had this merchant prince principally in mind,' said the
Mahatma after Jamnalal's death.
Jamnalal Bajaj was succeeded by his eldest son, 27-year-old Kamalnayan, in 1942.
Kamalnayan, however, was preoccupied with India's struggle for independence. After this
was achieved, in 1947, Kamalnayan consolidated and diversified the group, branching into
cement, ayurvedic medicines, electrical equipment, and appliances, as well as scooters.
The precursor to Bajaj Auto had been formed on November 29, 1945 as M/s Bachraj Trading
Ltd. It began selling imported two- and three-wheeled vehicles in 1948 and obtained a
manufacturing license from the government 11 years later. The next year, 1960, Bajaj Auto
became a public limited company.
Rahul Bajaj reportedly adored the famous Vespa scooters made by Piaggio of Italy. In 1960,
at the age of 22, he became the Indian licensee for the make; Bajaj Auto began producing its
first two-wheelers the next year.
Rahul Bajaj became the group's chief executive officer in 1968 after first picking up an MBA
at Harvard. He lived next to the factory in Pune, an industrial city three hours' drive from
Bombay. The company had an annual turnover of Rs 72 million at the time. By 1970, the
company had produced 100,000 vehicles. The oil crisis soon drove cars off the roads in favor
of two-wheelers, much cheaper to buy and many times more fuel-efficient.
A number of new models were introduced in the 1970s, including the three-wheeler goods
carrier and Bajaj Chetak early in the decade and the Bajaj Super and three-wheeled, rear
engine Autorickshaw in 1976 and 1977. Bajaj Auto produced 100,000 vehicles in the 1976-
77 fiscal year alone.
The technical collaboration agreement with Piaggio of Italy expired in 1977. Afterward,
Piaggio, maker of the Vespa brand of scooters, filed patent infringement suits to block Bajaj
scooter sales in the United States, United Kingdom, West Germany, and Hong Kong. Bajaj's
scooter exports plummeted from Rs 133.2 million in 1980-81 to Rs 52 million ($5.4 million)
in 1981-82, although total revenues rose five percent to Rs 1.16 billion. Pretax profits were
cut in half, to Rs 63 million.

6. New Competition in the 1980s
Japanese and Italian scooter companies began entering the Indian market in the early 1980s.
Although some boasted superior technology and flashier brands, Bajaj Auto had built up
several advantages in the previous decades. Its customers liked the durability of the product
and the ready availability of maintenance; the company's distributors permeated the country.
The Bajaj M-50 debuted in 1981. The new fuel-efficient, 50cc motorcycle was immediately
successful, and the company aimed to be able to make 60,000 of them a year by 1985.
Capacity was the most important constraint for the Indian motorcycle industry. Although the
country's total production rose from 262,000 vehicles in 1976 to 600,000 in 1982, companies
like rival Lohia Machines had difficulty meeting demand. Bajaj Auto's advance orders for
one of its new mini-motorcycles amounted to $57 million. Work on a new plant at Waluj,
Aurangabad commenced in January 1984.
The 1986-87 fiscal year saw the introduction of the Bajaj M-80 and the Kawasaki Bajaj
KB100 motorcycles. The company was making 500,000 vehicles a year at this point.
Although Rahul Bajaj credited much of his company's success with its focus on one type of
product, he did attempt to diversify into tractor-trailers. In 1987 his attempt to buy control of
Ahsok Leyland failed.
The Bajaj Sunny was launched in 1990; the Kawasaki Bajaj 4S Champion followed a year
later. About this time, the Indian government was initiating a program of market
liberalization, doing away with the old 'license raj' system, which limited the amount of
investment any one company could make in a particular industry.
A possible joint venture with Piaggio was discussed in 1993 but aborted. Rahul Bajaj told the
Financial Times that his company was too large to be considered a potential collaborator by
Japanese firms. It was hoping to increase its exports, which then amounted to just five
percent of sales. The company began by shipping a few thousand vehicles a year to
neighboring Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, but soon was reaching markets in Europe, Latin
America, Africa, and West Asia. Its domestic market share, barely less than 50 percent, was
slowly slipping.
By 1994, Bajaj also was contemplating high-volume, low-cost car manufacture. Several of
Bajaj's rivals were looking at this market as well, which was being rapidly liberalized by the
Indian government.
Bajaj Auto produced one million vehicles in the 1994-95 fiscal year. The company was the
world's fourth largest manufacturer of two-wheelers, behind Japan's Honda, Suzuki, and
Kawasaki. New models included the Bajaj Classic and the Bajaj Super Excel. Bajaj also
signed development agreements with two Japanese engineering firms, Kubota and Tokyo R
& D. Bajaj's most popular models cost about Rs 20,000. 'You just can't beat a Bajaj,' stated
the company's marketing slogan.
The Kawasaki Bajaj Boxer and the RE diesel Autorickshaw were introduced in 1997. The
next year saw the debut of the Kawasaki Bajaj Caliber, the Spirit, and the Legend, India's first
four-stroke scooter. The Caliber sold 100,000 units in its first 12 months. Bajaj was planning
6
7. to build its third plant at a cost of Rs 4 billion ($111.6 million) to produce two new models,
one to be developed in collaboration with Cagiva of Italy.
New Tools in the 1990s
Still, intense competition was beginning to hurt sales at home and abroad during the calendar
year 1997. Bajaj's low-tech, low-cost cycles were not faring as well as its rivals' higher-end
offerings, particularly in high-powered motorcycles, since poorer consumers were
withstanding the worst of the recession. The company invested in its new Pune plant in order
to introduce new models more quickly. The company spent Rs 7.5 billion ($185 million) on
advanced, computer-controlled machine tools. It would need new models to comply with the
more stringent emissions standards slated for 2000. Bajaj began installing Rs 800 catalytic
converters to its two-stroke scooter models beginning in 1999.
Although its domestic market share continued to slip, falling to 40.5 percent, Bajaj Auto's
profits increased slightly at the end of the 1997-98 fiscal year. In fact, Rahul Bajaj was able
to boast, 'My competitors are doing well, but my net profit is still more than the next four
biggest companies combined.' Hero Honda was perhaps Bajaj's most serious local threat; in
fact, in the fall of 1998, Honda Motor of Japan announced that it was withdrawing from this
joint venture.
Bajaj Auto had quadrupled its product design staff to 500. It also acquired technology from
its foreign partners, such as Kawasaki (motorcycles), Kubota (diesel engines), and Cagiva
(scooters). 'Honda's annual spend on R & D is more than my turnover,' noted Ruhal Bajaj.
His son, Sangiv Bajaj, was working to improve the company's supply chain management. A
marketing executive was lured from TVS Suzuki to help push the new cycles.
Several new designs and a dozen upgrades of existing scooters came out in 1998 and 1999.
These, and a surge in consumer confidence, propelled Bajaj to sales records, and it began to
regain market share in the fast-growing motorcycle segment. Sales of three-wheelers fell as
some states, citing traffic and pollution concerns, limited the number of permits issued for
them.
In late 1999, Rahul Bajaj made a bid to acquire ten percent of Piaggio for $65 million. The
Italian firm had exited a relationship with entrepreneur Deepak Singhania and was looking to
reenter the Indian market, possibly through acquisition. Piaggio itself had been mostly bought
out by a German investment bank, Deutsche Morgan Grenfell (DMG), which was looking to
sell some shares after turning the company around. Bajaj attached several conditions to his
purchase of a minority share, including a seat on the board and an exclusive Piaggio
distributorship in India.
In late 2000, Maruti Udyog emerged as another possible acquisition target. The Indian
government was planning to sell its 50 percent stake in the automaker, a joint venture with
Suzuki of Japan. Bajaj had been approached by several foreign car manufacturers in the past,
including Chrysler (subsequently DaimlerChrysler) in the mid-1990s.
Employment fell from about 23,000 in 1995-96 (the year Bajaj suffered a two-month strike at
its Waluj factory) to 17,000 in 1999-2000. The company planned to lay off another 2,000
workers in the short term and another 3,000 in the following three to four years.

12. Financial Functions of the Organisation
Bajaj Auto is considered to be amongst the most conservative organisations in the Industry
and this reflects in their equity and debt structure. The company has a very efficient finance

shareholders. Headed by Kevin P D’Sa, the finance department has a gamut of
responsibilities, least of which is the book keeping and internal auditing. They are expected to
be robust and take decisions that affect every decision of the firm, from production to

14. WORKING CAPITAL
It is a measure of both a company's efficiency and its short-term financial health. In case of
Bajaj Auto Ltd. it is related to the working capital requirements . The working capital ratio is
calculated as:
Positive working capital means that the company is able to pay off its short-term
liabilities. Negative working capital means that a company currently is unable to meet its
short-term liabilities with its current assets (cash, accounts receivable and inventory).
Also known as "net working capital", or the "working capital ratio".
Working capital management entails short term decisions - generally, relating to the next one
year period - which is "reversible".
. Working Capital Calculation of Bajaj Auto Ltd.

Current Assets, Loans and 2,939.55 3,848.25 1,780.67

Debt/Equity Ratio 0.8405 0.2937 0.3075
Profit Margin 0.0856 0.1314 0.1455
The current ratio of a company is a measure of their short term solvency (in the next twelve
months or business cycle). Higher the Current ratio better is a company positioned to fulfil its
short term obligations. As evident from the table above, Bajaj Auto is fairly low on the
Current Ratio scale but still not a matter of immediate concern to the management.
The Debt Equity Ratio of a company is a measure of their proportionate use of debt and
equity for financing its assets. A high D/E ratio suggests that the company has financed its
growth mostly via debt. This can be a concern for the management as the company will now
14
15. have to bear additional interest burden of debt servicing and hence, lead to volatile earnings.
As per calculations above, the D/E ratio seems fairly decent.
The Profit Margin ratio of a company is a measure of how well the business is performing in
terms of profit. It measures the percentage of profits on per rupee of sales and is thus a
measure of efficiency of a company. It determines the company’s ability to withstand
competition and adverse conditions like rising costs, falling prices, or declining sales in the
future. As the interest burden is increasing, it could bea possible reason for the falling profit
margin ratio.

16. Long Term Capital
Bajaj Auto Ltd. collects its long term capital through capital market instruments. Capital
market instruments are nothing but the following:
Capital Market Instruments: Capital market securities include instruments with maturities
greater than one year and those with no designated maturity at all. The market is generally
divided according to whether the instruments contain a promised set of cash flows over time,
or offer participation in the future profitability of a company. The first sector is usually
referred to as the Fixed Income Market, whereas the second is the Equity Market. Preferred
stock is an instrument that has some of the characteristics of each of the other two types.
Equity Shares
Equity shares represent an ownership claim on the earnings and assets of a corporation. After
holders of debt claims are paid, the management of the company can either payout the
remaining earnings to stockholders in the form of dividends or reinvest part or all of the
earnings in the business. . Despite limited liability, because of the residual nature of its claim
to earnings and assets, shares as a class is the riskiest of the securities discussed to this point.
Corporate Bonds
Corporate bonds promise to pay interest at periodic intervals and to return principal at a fixed
date. Generally corporate bonds are rated as to quality by several agencies, the best known of
which are CRISIL, ICRA and CARE.

19. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Capital Asset Pricing Model is a model that provides a framework to determine the required
rate of return on an asset and risk of the asset.The required rate of return specified by CAPM
helps in valuing an asset.One can also compare expected(estimated) rate of return on an asset
with its required rate of return and determine whether the asset is fairly valued.As we explain
in this section ,under CAPM ,the security market line (FML) exemplifies the relationship
between an asset’s risk and its required rate of return.
Assumptions of CAPM
Market Efficiency
It implies that share prices reflect all the available information.This means that there
are a large number of investors holding a small amount of debt.
Risk Aversion and Mean variance optimization
It evaluates a security’s return and risk,in terms of the expected return and variance or
standard deviation respectively.We prefer the highest rate of return for a given level
of risk.This implies that investors are mean variance optimizers and they form
efficient portfolios.
Homogenous expectations
All investors have the same expectations of their risk and return
Single Time Period
All investors decision are based on single time period
Risk Free Rate
All investors can lend and borrow at a risk free rate of interest.
The Formula for Expected Rate of Return using CAPM is given by:-
Ke = Rf + β (Km – Rf)
Where, Ke = Expected Rate of return,
Rf = Risk Free Rate of Return, such as interest arising from government bonds
Km = Market Rate of Return,
19
20. Significance of Beta
In finance, the beta (β) of a stock or portfolio is a number describing the relation of its returns
with that of the financial market as a whole.
An asset with a beta of 0 means that its price is not at all correlated with the market; that asset
is independent. A positive beta means that the asset generally follows the market. A negative
beta shows that the asset inversely follows the market; the asset generally decreases in value
if the market goes up and vice versa. Here beta value for Bajaj Auto Ltd. is calculated based
on the market price structure, and using the formula which says,
(Cov(m,j))/ ²
Where, Cov(m,j) is the covariance between market price and the share price
² is the variance of the market price.
(β) Calculated is 0.875739489
For detailed calculations, please refer Tables.
Calculation of Return on Equity
From the equation for CAPM Model, we see that Return on Investments is
Return=risk free return + β(market return – risk free return)
=6.42+0.8757(16.4854-6.42)
=15.2347%
20
21. Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
A firm’s cost of capital is the average required rate of return on the aggregate of investment
projects. It is useful for:
Evaluating investment decisions.
Designing a firm’s debt policy
Appraising the financial performance of top management.
The component cost of capital is as follows:
Cost of Equity
A firm’s capital can be divided into internal and external equity. The internal equity
of a firm is its retained earnings. In the absence of floatation cost , the cost of retained
earnings is equal to the cost of equity .
The cost of equity of Tata Motors has been calculated as per the CAPM model
which is,
equal to 28.80% (refer to page no. )
Cost of Debt
Tata Motors debt structure as on 31st March 2010 is `16625.91 crores.The
following has been our assumption for calculation of cost of debt:
Rate of interest on debt is calculated by taking the average of the last five
years total interest payments and the last five years total debt.
As the maturity period cannot be determined in our case we calculate the cost
of debt by the formula
Kd = ∑I(1-t)/n
Where,
I = interest rate
t = tax rate
Corporate dividend tax rate is 30%
Tax rate = 30%
Therefore, kd = .5033

23. DIVIDEND DISCOUNT MODEL(DDM)
People hold common stocks in their portfolios for two reasons
1)A respective group of common stocks bought at a reasonable price level can be counted to
provide a higher total return than bonds.
2)Common stocks can be held at a protective measure during inflation because unlike equity ,
a bond’s value declines as inflation rises. There should be a standard value for judging
whether a stock is underpriced or overpriced in the market place. We call this standard value
the intrinsic value.
Intrinsic value is the value of a stock which is justified by the asset , earnings ,dividends,
definite prospects and the factor of the management of the issuing company. The major
components of intrinsic values are
1)The earning power and profitability of the management in the employment of assets.
2)Dividends paid and the ability to pay such dividends in the future.
3)Estimates of the growth of earnings.
4)Stability and predictability of these quantitative and qualitative projections.
Thus,in essence the intrinsic value of a firm’s shares is its economic value as a going concern,
taking account of its characteristics , the nature of its business and the investment
environment.
According to the dividend capitalization approach which is a conceptually sound
approach,the value of an equity share is the discounted present value of the dividends
received plus the present value of the resale price expected when the equity share is sold.
Therefore, to apply this approach for valuation of equity stock the following assumptions are
to be made is to
1) Dividends are paid annually which is a common practice for business firms in India.
2) The first payment of dividend is to be made 1 year after the equity share is bought.

25. CONCLUSION
1.) The company sold 2, 20,429 two-wheelers in December 2009 compared to 1, 19,215 units
sold in the same month of the previous year, registering a growth of 85%.
2.) The company hopes to reach a sales target of one million in the year 2010-11 with the
launch of its new Pulsar 135 LS. It is the world’s first four valve DTS i-engine bike and the
only light sports bike in the country.
3.) The company is planning to set up an assembly plant in a free trade zone in Manaus in
Brazil next financial year.
4.) To address the tight competition in the two wheeler market, the company is introducing
new models time-to-time.
5.) The company had introduced DTSi engine for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
6.) The company as always has been the favourite pick for investors among the auto sector
stocks. Company has been on aggressive mode to tame the competition created by its
competitors. It has been launching various new entrants in the markets recently. Considering
an expected improvement in two-wheeler industry in fourth quarter of the current fiscal on
increased liquidity, Bajaj Auto is certainly a very good option one can go for.
