PREFACE
In the broad sense training is necessary to make the students of professional institutions familiar with the industrial environment. This not only helps professionals to speedily accommodate themselves in industries but also to have better usage of their studies.
To be dynamic, strategic and work aggressively they need to know the policies, procedures and trends going in the present industrial environment apart from their studies. The training fulfills all these needs.
Whether it is the question of demonstrating a modernized procedure, step by step to an old production hand or guiding a new division head through the intricacies of preparing his own budget, the responsible supervisor or manager must make the trainee learn and communicate.
The purpose and objective of the study is to analyze the different aspect of financial position of the organization and list out the suggestions based on the studies.
The main source of the study is secondary data collected from the annual and other public reports and other information received from Institute Of Co-operative & Corporate, Management, Research and Training, Lucknow.
The analysis of the data is carried out by the various modern and standard tools to achieve the objective of the study.

National Thermal Power Corporation-
India’s largest power company, NTPC was set up in 1975 to accelerate power development in
India. NTPC is emerging as a diversified power major with presence in the entire value chain
of the power generation business. Apart from power generation, which is the mainstay of the
company, NTPC has already ventured into consultancy, power trading, ash utilization and
coal mining. NTPC ranked 341st in the ‘2010, Forbes Global 2000’ ranking of the World’s
biggest companies. NTPC became a Maharatna company in May, 2010, one of the only four
companies to be awarded this status.
The total installed capacity of the company is 34,194 MW (including JVs) with 15 coal based
and 7 gas based stations, located across the country. In addition under JVs, 5 stations are coal
based & another station uses naptha/LNG as fuel. The company has set a target to have an
installed power generating capacity of 1,28,000 MW by the year 2032. The capacity will
have a diversified fuel mix comprising 56% coal, 16% Gas, 11% Nuclear and 17%
Renewable Energy Sources(RES) including hydro. By 2032, non fossil fuel based generation
capacity shall make up nearly 28% of NTPC’s portfolio.

NTPC has been operating its plants at high efficiency levels. Although the company has
17.75% of the total national capacity, it contributes 27.40% of total power generation due to
its focus on high efficiency.
In October 2004, NTPC launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) consisting of 5.25% as
fresh issue and 5.25% as offer for sale by Government of India. NTPC thus became a listed
company in November 2004 with the Government holding 89.5% of the equity share capital.
In February 2010, the Shareholding of Government of India was reduced from 89.5% to
84.5% through Further Public Offer. The rest is held by Institutional Investors and the Public.

Power Generation -
Presently, NTPC generates power from Coal and Gas. With an installed capacity of 28840
MW, NTPC is the largest power generating major in the country. It has also diversified into
hydro power, coal mining, power equipment manufacturing, oil & gas exploration, power
trading & distribution. With an increasing presence in the power value chain, NTPC is well
on its way to becoming an “Integrated Power Major.”
Total income for the quarter increased to Rs.12, 481.5 crore from Rs.11, 487.5 crore
in the like period the previous fiscal. The company said its board has recommended a final
dividend at 8 percent of the paid-up equity capital in addition to the 28 percent interim
dividend paid in February. (IANS)
Business strengths of NTPC
In over 30 years of its existence, this huge power conglomerate has emerged as the world's
most efficient electricity generator. It's is this consistency in performance that made the
government look at NTPC for help turn around some other sick power companies, instead of
going to some management consultants or privatizing it.
NTPC did the government proud. One of these hopeless power plants was located in
Unchahar in Uttar Pradesh, which has actually emerged as the world's best. It has won the
prestigious 'Asian Power plant of the Year' award in 2006.
It's truly teamwork that keeps an organization of 25,000 employees working in 25 plants
across the country, going from strength to strength.

INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC
- Meaning of ratio- What is Ratio Analysis.???- Advantage of Ratio Analysis- Limitations of Ratio Analysis- Classification of Ratio Analysis
30
Meaning of Ratio-
A ratio is simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to another. It may be defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions.
According to Accountant’s Handbook by Wixom, Kell and Bedford, “a ratio is an expression of the quantitative relationship between two numbers”.
Ratio Analysis:-
Ratio analysis is the process of determining and presenting the relationship of items and
group of items in the statements. According to Batty J. Management Accounting “Ratio can
assist management in its basic functions of forecasting, planning coordination, control and
communication”.
It is helpful to know about the liquidity, solvency, capital structure and profitability of an
organization. It is helpful tool to aid in applying judgment, otherwise complex situations.
Ratio may be expressed in the following three ways:
1. Pure Ratio or Simple Ratio:-
It is expressed by the simple division of one number by another. For example, if the current
assets of a business are Rs. 200000 and its current liabilities are Rs. 100000, the ratio of
‘Current assets to current liabilities’ will be 2:1.
2. ‘Rate’ or ‘So Many Times:-
In this type , it is calculated how many times a figure is, in comparison to another figure. For
example , if a firm’s credit sales during the year are Rs. 200000 and its debtors at the end of
the year are Rs. 40000 , its Debtors Turnover Ratio is 200000/40000 = 5 times. It shows that
the credit sales are 5 times in comparison to debtors.
31
3. Percentage:-
In this type, the relation between two figures is expressed in hundredth. For example, if a
firm’s capital is Rs.1000000 and its profit is Rs.200000 the ratio of profit capital, in term of
percentage, is 200000/1000000*100 = 20%
ADVANTAGE OF RATIO ANALYSIS:-
There are various groups of people who are
interested in analysis of financial position of a company. They use the ratio analysis to work
out a particular financial characteristic of the company in which they are interested. Ratio
analysis helps the various groups in the following manner:
1-To workout the profitability: Accounting ratio help to measure the profitability of the
business by calculating the various profitability ratios. It helps the management to know
about the earning capacity of the business concern. In this way profitability ratios show the
actual performance of the business.
2-To workout the solvency: With the help of solvency ratios, solvency of the company can
be measured. These ratios show the relationship between the liabilities and assets. In case
external liabilities are more than that of the assets of the company, it shows the unsound
position of the business. In this case the business has to make it possible to repay its loans.
3- Helpful in analysis of financial statement: Ratio analysis help the outsiders just like
creditors, shareholders, debenture-holders, bankers to know about the profitability and ability
of the company to pay them interest and dividend etc.
4-Helpful in comparative analysis of the performance: With the help of ratio analysis a
company may have comparative study of its performance to the previous years. In this way
company comes to know about its weak point and be able to improve them.
5-To simplify the accounting information: Accounting ratios are very useful as they briefly
summarize the result of detailed and complicated computations.
32
6-To workout the operating efficiency: Ratio analysis helps to workout the operating
efficiency of the company with the help of various turnover ratios. All turnover ratios are
worked out to evaluate the performance of the business in utilizing the resources.
7-To workout short-term financial position: Ratio analysis helps to workout the short-term
financial position of the company with the help of liquidity ratios. In case short-term financial
position is not healthy efforts are made to improve it.
8-Helpful for forecasting purposes: Accounting ratios indicate the trend of the business.
The trend is useful for estimating future. With the help of previous years’ ratios, estimates for
future can be made. In this way these ratios provide the basis for preparing budgets and also
determine future line of action.
Limitations of Ratio Analysis-
In spite of many advantages, there are certain limitations
of the ratio analysis techniques and they should be kept in mind while using them in
interpreting financial statements. The following are the main limitations of accounting ratios:
1-Limited Comparability: Different firms apply different accounting policies. Therefore the
ratio of one firm can not always be compared with the ratio of other firm. Some firms may
value the closing stock on LIFO basis while some other firms may value on FIFO basis.
Similarly there may be difference in providing depreciation of fixed assets or certain of
provision for doubtful debts etc.
2-False Results: Accounting ratios are based on data drawn from accounting records. In case
that data is correct, then only the ratios will be correct. For example, valuation of stock is
based on very high price, the profits of the concern will be inflated and it will indicate a
wrong financial position. The data therefore must be absolutely correct.
3-Effect of Price Level Changes: Price level changes often make the comparison of figures
difficult over a period of time. Changes in price affect the cost of production, sales and also
the value of assets. Therefore, it is necessary to make proper adjustment for price-level
changes before any comparison.
33
4-Qualitative factors are ignored: Ratio analysis is a technique of quantitative analysis and
thus, ignores qualitative factors, which may be important in decision making. For example,
average collection period may be equal to standard credit period, but some debtors may be in
the list of doubtful debts, which is not disclosed by ratio analysis.
5-Effect of window-dressing: In order to cover up their bad financial position some
companies resort to window dressing. They may record the accounting data according to the
convenience to show the financial position of the company in a better way.
6-Costly Technique: Ratio analysis is a costly technique and can be used by big business
houses. Small business units are not able to afford it.
7-Misleading Results: In the absence of absolute data, the result may be misleading. For
example, the gross profit of two firms is 25%. Whereas the profit earned by one is just Rs.
5,000 and sales are Rs. 20,000 and profit earned by the other one is Rs. 10, 00,000 and sales
are Rs. 40, 00,000. Even the profitability of the two firms is same but the magnitude of their
business is quite different.
8-Absence of standard university accepted terminology: There are no standard ratios,
which are universally accepted for comparison purposes. As such, the significance of ratio
analysis technique is reduced.
34
CLASSIFICATION OF RATIO
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity Ratios are ratios that come off the Balance Sheet and hence measure the liquidity of
the company as on a particular day i.e. the day that the Balance Sheet was prepared. These
ratios are important in measuring the ability of a company to meet both its short term and
long term obligations.
1) Current Ratio:
This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Current Assets' of a company by its 'Total
Current Liabilities'. The ratio is regarded as a test of liquidity for a company. It expresses the
'working capital' relationship of current assets available to meet the company's current
obligations.
Formula:
Total Current Assets/ Total Current Liabilities
2) Quick Ratio:
This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Quick Assets' of a company by its 'Total Current
Liabilities'. Sometimes a company could be carrying heavy inventory as part of its current
assets, which might be obsolete or slow moving. Thus eliminating inventory from current
assets and then doing the liquidity test is measured by this ratio. The ratio is regarded as an
acid test of liquidity for a company. It expresses the true 'working capital' relationship of its
cash, accounts receivables, prepaid and notes receivables available to meet the company's
current obligations.
Formula:
35
Quick Ratio = Total Quick Assets/ Total Current Liabilities
Quick Assets = Total Current Assets (minus) Inventory
3) Debt to Equity Ratio:
This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Liability or Debt ' of a company by its 'Owners
Equity or Net Worth'. The ratio measures how the company is leveraging its debt against the
capital employed by its owners. If the liabilities exceed the net worth then in that case the
creditors have more stake than the shareowners.
Formula:
Total Liabilities / Owners Equity or Net Worth
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Profitability Ratios show how successful a company is in terms of generating returns or
profits on the Investment that it has made in the business. If a business is liquid and efficient
it should also be Profitable.
1) Return on Sales or Profit Margin (%):
The Profit Margin of a company determines its ability to withstand competition and adverse
conditions like rising costs, falling prices or declining sales in the future. The ratio measures
the percentage of profits earned per dollar of sales and thus is a measure of efficiency of the
company.
Formula:- (Net Profit / Net Sales) x 100
36
2) Return on Assets:
The Return on Assets of a company determines its ability to utilize the Assets employed in
the company efficiently and effectively to earn a good return. The ratio measures the
percentage of profits earned per dollar of Asset and thus is a measure of efficiency of the
company in generating profits on its Assets.
Formula: - (Net Profit / Total Assets) x 100
3) Return on Equity or Net Worth:
Return on equity (ROE) measures the rate of return on the ownership interest (shareholders'
equity) of the common stock owners. It measures a firm's efficiency at generating profits
from every unit of shareholders' equity (also known as net assets or assets minus liabilities).
ROE shows how well a company uses investment funds to generate earnings growth. ROEs
between 15% and 20% are generally considered good.
Its calculated as:
ROE = Net Income (After Tax)/Shareholders Equity.
ROE is equal to a fiscal year's net income (after preferred stock dividends but before common
stock dividends) divided by total equity (excluding preferred shares), expressed as a
percentage. As with many financial ratios, ROE is best used to compare companies in the
same industry. High ROE yields no immediate benefit. Since stock prices are most strongly
determined by earnings per share (EPS), you will be paying twice as much (in Price/Book
terms) for a 20% ROE Company as for a 10% ROE company.
37
The DuPont Formula
The DuPont formula, also known as the strategic profit model, is a common way to break
down ROE into three important components. Essentially, ROE will equal the net margin
multiplied by asset turnover multiplied by financial leverage. Splitting return on equity into
three parts makes it easier to understand changes in ROE over time. For example, if the net
margin increases, every sale brings in more money, resulting in a higher overall ROE.
Similarly, if the asset turnover increases, the firm generates more sales for every unit of
assets owned, again resulting in a higher overall ROE. Finally, increasing financial leverage
means that the firm uses more debt financing relative to equity financing. Interest payments
to creditors are tax deductible, but dividend payments to shareholders are not. Thus, a higher
proportion of debt in the firm's capital structure leads to higher ROE. Financial leverage
benefits diminish as the risk of defaulting on interest payments increases. So if the firm takes
on too much debt, the cost of debt rises as creditors demand a higher risk premium, and ROE
decreases. Increased debt will make a positive contribution to a firm's ROE only if the
matching Return on assets (ROA) of that debt exceeds the interest rate on the debt.
ROE = Net Income/Sales*Sales/Total Assets*Total Assets/Average
Shareholders’ Equity
38
MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY RATIOS -
Efficiency ratios are ratios that come off the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement and
therefore incorporate one dynamic statement, the income statement and one static statement,
the balance sheet. These ratios are important in measuring the efficiency of a company in
either turning their inventory, sales, assets, accounts receivables or payables. It also ties into
the ability of a company to meet both its short term and long term obligations. This is because
if they do not get paid on time how will you get paid on time. You may have perhaps heard
the excuse 'I will pay you when I get paid' or 'my customers have not paid me!'
1) DSO (Days Sales Outstanding):
The Days Sales Outstanding ratio shows both the average time it takes to turn the receivables
into cash and the age, in terms of days, of a company's accounts receivable. The ratio is
regarded as a test of Efficiency for a company. The effectiveness with which it converts its
receivables into cash. This ratio is of particular importance to credit and collection associates.
Best Possible DSO yields insight into delinquencies since it uses only the current portion of
receivables. As a measurement, the closer the regular DSO is to the Best Possible DSO, the
closer the receivables are to the optimal level.
Best Possible DSO requires three pieces of information for calculation:
a) Current Receivables
b) Total credit sales for the period analyzed
c) The Number of days in the period analyzed
Formula:
Best Possible DSO = Current Receivables/Total Credit Sales X Number of Days
Regular DSO = (Total Accounts Receivables/Total Credit Sales) x Number of Days in
the period that is being analyzed
39
2) Inventory Turnover Ratio:
This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Sales' of a company by its 'Total Inventory'. The
ratio is regarded as a test of Efficiency and indicates the rapidity with which the company is
able to move its merchandise.
Formula:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Inventory
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory
3) Accounts Payable to Sales (%):
This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Accounts Payables' of a company by its 'Annual Net
Sales'. This ratio gives you an indication as to how much of their supplier’s money does this
company use in order to fund its Sales. Higher the ratio means that the company is using its
suppliers as a source of cheap financing. The working capital of such companies could be
funded by their suppliers..
Formula:
Accounts Payables to Sales Ratio = [Accounts Payables / Net Sales] x 100
40
INVESTMENT VALUATION RATIO
1) Price/Book Value Ratio:
A valuation ratio used by investors which compares a stock's per-share price (market value)
to its book value (shareholders' equity). The price-to-book value ratio, expressed as a multiple
(i.e. how many times a company's stock is trading per share compared to the company's book
value per share), is an indication of how much shareholders are paying for the net assets of a
company.
The book value of a company is the value of a company's assets expressed on the balance
sheet. It is the difference between the balance sheet assets and balance sheet liabilities and is
an estimation of the value if it were to be liquidated.
The price/book value ratio, often expressed simply as "price-to-book", provides investors a
way to compare the market value, or what they are paying for each share, to a conservative
measure of the value of the firm.
Formula:
2) Price/Cash Flow Ratio:-
The price/cash flow ratio is used by investors to evaluate the investment attractiveness, from
a value standpoint, of a company's stock. This metric compares the stock's market price to the
amount of cash flow the company generates on a per-share basis.
This ratio is similar to the price/earnings ratio, except that the price/cash flow ratio (P/CF) is
seen by some as a more reliable basis than earnings per share to evaluate the acceptability, or
lack thereof, of a stock's current pricing. The argument for using cash flow over earnings is
that the former is not easily manipulated, while the same cannot be said for earnings, which,
unlike cash flow, are affected by depreciation and other non-cash factors.
41
Formula:
3) Price/Earnings Ratio:
The price/earnings ratio (P/E) is the best known of the investment valuation indicators. The
P/E ratio has its imperfections, but it is nevertheless the most widely reported and used
valuation by investment professionals and the investing public. The financial reporting of
both companies and investment research services use a basic earnings per share (EPS) figure
divided into the current stock price to calculate the P/E multiple (i.e. how many times a stock
is trading (its price) per each dollar of EPS).
It's not surprising that estimated EPS figures are often very optimistic during bull markets,
while reflecting pessimism during bear markets. Also, as a matter of historical record, it's no
secret that the accuracy of stock analyst earnings estimates should be looked at skeptically by
investors. Nevertheless, analyst estimates and opinions based on forward-looking projections
of a company's earnings do play a role in Wall Street's stock-pricing considerations.
Historically, the average P/E ratio for the broad market has been around 15, although it can
fluctuate significantly depending on economic and market conditions. The ratio will also vary
widely among different companies and
industries.
Formula:
4) Price/Earnings to Growth Ratio:
42
The price/earnings to growth ratio, commonly referred to as the PEG ratio, is obviously
closely related to the P/E ratio. The PEG ratio is a refinement of the P/E ratio and factors in a
stock's estimated earnings growth into its current valuation. By comparing a stock's P/E ratio
with its projected, or estimated, earnings per share (EPS) growth, investors are given insight
into the degree of overpricing or under pricing of a stock's current valuation, as indicated by
the traditional P/E ratio.
The general consensus is that if the PEG ratio indicates a value of 1, this means that
the market is correctly valuing (the current P/E ratio) a stock in accordance with the stock's
current estimated earnings per share growth. If the PEG ratio is less than 1, this means that
EPS growth is potentially able to surpass the market's current valuation. In other words, the
stock's price is being undervalued. On the other hand, stocks with high PEG ratios can
indicate just the opposite - that the stock is currently overvalued.
Formula:
5) Price/Sales Ratio:
A stock's price/sales ratio (P/S ratio) is another stock valuation indicator similar to the P/E
ratio. The P/S ratio measures the price of a company's stock against its annual sales, instead
of earnings.
Like the P/E ratio, the P/S reflects how many times investors are paying for every dollar of a
company's sales. Since earnings are subject, to one degree or another, to accounting estimates
and management manipulation, many investors consider a company's sales (revenue) figure a
more reliable ratio component in calculating a stock's price multiple than the earnings figure.
Formula:
43
6) Dividend Yield:
A stock's dividend yield is expressed as an annual percentage and is calculated as the
company's annual cash dividend per share divided by the current price of the stock. The
dividend yield is found in the stock quotes of dividend-paying companies. Investors should
note that stock quotes record the per share dollar amount of a company's latest quarterly
declared dividend. This quarterly dollar amount is annualized and compared to the current
stock price to generate the per annum dividend yield, which represents an expected return.
Income investors value a dividend-paying stock, while growth investors have little interest in
dividends, preferring to capture large capital gains. Whatever your investing style, it is a
matter of historical record that dividend-paying stocks have performed better than non-
paying-dividend stocks over the long term.
Formula:
7) Enterprise Value Multiple:
This valuation metric is calculated by dividing a company's "enterprise value" by its earnings
before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).Overall, this
measurement allows investors to assess a company on the same basis as that of an acquirer.
As a rough calculation, enterprise values multiple serves as a proxy for how long it would
take for an acquisition to earn enough to pay off its costs (assuming no change in EBITDA).
44
Formula:
8) DEBT COVERAGE RATIO:
The Debt Coverage Ratio is also known as Debt Service Coverage Ratio or DSCR. The debt
coverage ratio or DCR is a widely used benchmark which measures an income producing
property's ability to cover the monthly mortgage payments. The DCR is calculated by
dividing the net operating income (NOI) by a property's annual debt service. Annual debt
service equals the annual total of all interest and principal paid for all loans on a property. A
debt coverage ratio of less than 1 indicates that the income generated by a property is
insufficient to cover the mortgage payments and operating expenses.
For example, a DCR of .9 indicates a negative income. There is only enough
income available after paying operating expenses to pay 90% of the annual mortgage
payments
or debt service. A property with a DCR of 1.25 generates 1.25 times as much annual income
as the annual debt service on the property. In this example, the property produces 25% more
income (NOI) than is required to pay the annual debt service and operating expenses.
Formula:
Net Operating Income / Annual Debt Service
CASH FLOW INDICATOR RATIO
Cash flow indicators, focus on the cash being generated in terms of how much is being
generated and the safety net that it provides to the company. These ratios can give users
45
another look at the financial health and performance of a company. The ratios in this section
use cash flow compared to other company metrics to determine how much cash they are
generating from their sales, the amount of cash they are generating free and clear, and the
amount of cash they have to cover obligations.
1) Operating Cash Flow / Sales Ratio:
This ratio, which is expressed as a percentage, compares a company's operating cash flow to
its net sales or revenues, which gives investors an idea of the company's ability to turn sales
into cash.
It would be worrisome to see a company's sales grow without a parallel growth in operating
cash flow. Positive and negative changes in a company's terms of sale and/or the collection
experience of its accounts receivable will show up in this indicator.
Formula:
2) Free Cash Flow/ Operating Cash Flow Ratio:
The free cash flow/operating cash flow ratio measures the relationship between free cash
flow and operating cash flow. Free cash flow is most often defined as operating cash flow
minus capital expenditures, which, in analytical terms, are considered to be an essential
outflow of funds to maintain a company's competitiveness and efficiency. The cash flow
remaining after this deduction is considered "free" cash flow, which becomes available to a
company to use for expansion, acquisitions, and/or financial stability to weather difficult
market conditions. The higher the percentage of free cash flow embedded in a company's
operating cash flow, the greater the financial strength of the company.
Formula:
46
3) Cash Flow Coverage Ratio:
This ratio measures the ability of the company's operating cash flow to meet its obligations -
including its liabilities or ongoing concern costs. The operating cash flow is simply the
amount of cash generated by the company from its main operations, which are used to keep
the business funded. The larger the operating cash flow coverage for these items, the greater
the company's ability to meet its obligations, along with giving the company more cash flow
to expand its business, withstand hard times, and not be burdened by debt servicing and the
restrictions typically included in credit agreements.
Formulas:
47
4) Dividend Payout Ratio:
This ratio identifies the percentage of earnings (net income) per common share allocated to
paying cash dividend to shareholders. The dividend payout ratio is an indicator of how well
earnings support the dividend payment. Here's how dividends "start" and "end." During a
fiscal year quarter, a company's board of directors declares a dividend. This event triggers the
posting of a current liability for "dividends payable." At the end of the quarter, net income is
credited to a company's retained earnings, and assuming there's sufficient cash on hand
and/or from current operating cash flow, the dividend is paid out. This reduces cash, and the
dividends payable liability is eliminated. The payment of a cash dividend is recorded in the
statement of cash flows under the "financing activities" section.
Formula:

The current ratio of NTPC on 2010-11 is 2.59, for TATA is 2.02 and for RELAINCE is 1.56.
It indicates that NTPC has less current liabilities as compared to current assets. Current assets
are 2.5 times more than current liabilities and others i.e. TATA POWER and RELAINCE
have more current liabilities than current assets.
66
NTPC has more liquid assets than TATA POWER and RELAINCE .Here, more liquid assets
denote cash and bank balances, debtors etc.NTPC has 2.23 quick ratio as compared to TATA
POWER which has 1.14 and Reliance which has 1.93.As there is a comparison among 3, we
see that NTPC is better.

The quality of sundry debtors is good at N.T.P.C as compared to Reliance and TATA
POWER.NTPC has 7.53 debtors turnover ratio as compared to TATA POWER which has 3.7
and Reliance 2.93.So, this indicates that debtors of NTPC are realizable in earlier time as
compared to other.
67
Debtors Turnover Ratio
NTPC‘s Debtors Turnover ratio is better than TATA POWER and Reliance .NTPC has 7.54
in comparison to Tata which has 3.49 and Reliance which has 2.98.
This ratio indicates the speed with which the amount is collected from debtors. The higher the
ratio, the better it is, since it indicates that amount from debtors is being collected more
quickly. The more quickly the debtors pay, the less the risk from bad- debts, and so the lower
the expenses of collection and increase in the liquidity of the firm.

Inventory turnover ratio shows the movement of inventory. Thus, NTPC‘s inventory ratio is better than TATA POWER and Reliance which has its ratios respectively 29.18, 13.12 and 17.79.
This ratio shows the number of times a company’s inventory is turned into sales. Investment in inventory represents idle cash. The lesser the inventory, the greater the cash available for meeting operating needs. Besides, lean, fast-moving inventory runs a lower risk of obsolescence and reduces interest, insurance and storage charges. High inventory turnover is a sign of efficient inventory management.

This ratio measures the margin of profit available on sales. The higher the gross profit ratio,
the better it is. No ideal standard is fixed for this ratio, but the gross profit ratio should be
adequate enough not only to cover the operating expenses but also to provide for
depreciation, interest on loans, dividends and creation of reserves.
Here NTPC has 18.49% gross profit margin ratio which is better than Reliance’s -3.79% and
Tata power’s 14.60%.

has better net profit margin ratio that is 18.06 in comparison to NTPC which has 15.85 and
Tata Power which has 12.76.
The Profit Margin of a company determines its ability to withstand competition and adverse
conditions like rising costs, falling prices or declining sales in the future. The ratio measures
the percentage of profits earned per dollar of sales and thus is a measure of efficiency of the
company.

The higher the asset turnover indicates that the enterprise is managing its assets efficiently
while a low asset turnover implies the presence of more assets than a business needs for its
operations.
TATA POWER has 0.66 ratios as compared to NTPC 0.76 and Reliance 0.10. This indicates
that TATA POWER and NTPC are managing their assets efficiently as compared to
Reliance.

This ratio is particular importance in manufacturing concerns where the investment in fixed
asset is quite high. Compared with the previous year, if there is increase in this ratio, it will
indicate that there is better utilization of fixed assets. If there is a fall in this ratio, it will show
that fixed assets have not been used as efficiently, as they had been used in the previous year.
Here Reliance has fixed assets turnover ratio that is 7.51 which is better than NTPC which is
0.76 and Tata Power which is 0.66.

The higher the EPS is, the better, because the value of the share will increase. EPS of NTPC
is 11.04, TATA POWER is 39.68 and Reliance is 9.98.
This helps the stockholders to decide in which company they should invest their money so as
to get more dividends out of the profits. Then the higher the EPS is the better, since than
more dividends will be received after each shares owned. Another implication of the Earnings
per Share ratio is that it tells investors in what stock their invested money should go, as EPS
tells how much each dollar or rupees invested earns.
Findings

The Current ratio of NTPC on 2010-11 is 2.59, for TATA is 2.02 and for RELAINCE is 1.56.
It indicates that NTPC has less current liabilities as compared to current assets. Current assets
are 2.5 times more than current liabilities and others i.e. TATA POWER and RELAINCE
have more current liabilities than current assets.
The quality of sundry debtors is good at N.T.P.C as compared to
Reliance and TATA POWER.NTPC has 7.53 debtors turnover ratio as compared to TATA
POWER which has 3.7 and Reliance 2.93.So, this indicates that debtors of NTPC are
realizable in earlier time as compared to other.
NTPC‘s Debtors Turnover ratio is better than TATA POWER and Reliance .NTPC has 7.54
in comparison to Tata which has 3.49 and Reliance which has 2.98.
This ratio indicates the speed with which the amount is collected from debtors. The higher the
ratio, the better it is, since it indicates that amount from debtors is being collected more
quickly. The more quickly the debtors pay, the less the risk from bad- debts, and so the lower
the expenses of collection and increase in the liquidity of the firm.
Inventory turnover ratio shows the movement of inventory. Thus, NTPC‘s inventory ratio is
better than TATA POWER and Reliance which has its ratios respectively 29.18, 13.12 and
17.79.
This ratio shows the number of times a company’s inventory is turned into sales. Investment
in inventory represents idle cash. The lesser the inventory, the greater the cash available for
meeting operating needs. Besides, lean, fast-moving inventory runs a lower risk of
obsolescence and reduces interest, insurance and storage charges. High inventory turnover is
a sign of efficient inventory management.
Gross Profit margin ratio measures the margin of profit available on sales. The higher the
gross profit ratio, the better it is. No ideal standard is fixed for this ratio, but the gross profit

ratio should be adequate enough not only to cover the operating expenses but also to provide
for depreciation, interest on loans, dividends and creation of reserves.
Here NTPC has 18.49% gross profit margin ratio which is better than Reliance’s -3.79% and
Tata power’s 14.60%.
The same is with Net Profit Margin ratio i.e. the higher the ratio the better it is. Thus Reliance
has better net profit margin ratio that is 18.06 in comparison to NTPC which has 15.85 and
Tata Power which has 12.76.
The Profit Margin of a company determines its ability to withstand competition and adverse
conditions like rising costs, falling prices or declining sales in the future. The ratio measures
the percentage of profits earned per dollar of sales and thus is a measure of efficiency of the

The higher the Asset Turnover Ratio indicates that the enterprise is managing its assets
efficiently while a low asset turnover implies the presence of more assets than a business
needs for its operations.
TATA POWER has 0.66 ratios as compared to NTPC 0.76 and Reliance 0.10. This indicates
that TATA POWER and NTPC are managing their assets efficiently as compared to
Reliance.
An earnings per Share ratio is particular importance in manufacturing concerns where the
investment in fixed asset is quite high. Compared with the previous year, if there is increase
in this ratio, it will indicate that there is better utilization of fixed assets. If there is a fall in
this ratio, it will show that fixed assets have not been used as efficiently, as they had been
used in the previous year.
Here Reliance has fixed assets turnover ratio that is 7.51 which is better than NTPC which is
0.76 and Tata Power which is 0.66.

RECOMMEDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
1. N.T.P.C. should pay more focus on controlling the inventory.
2. N.T.P.C. must invest its surplus cash reserves.
3. N.T.P.C. must improve or increase its D/E ratio.
4. N.T.P.C. should focus on control of various overheads.

CONCLUSION
Ratio Analysis is the basic tool of financial analysis and financial analysis is itself an
important part of any business planning process as SWOT, being basic tool of the strategic
analysis plays a vital role in a business planning process and no SWOT analysis would be
complete without an analysis of company’s financial position. In this way ratio analysis is
very important part of whole business strategic planning. As companies dispatch their long
annual report once a year, the financial ratio helps us to profile a company easily.
There is a huge crisis over energy in the world especially in the field of electricity. India is
also victim of the same condition. In spite of several efforts taken by the governments in this
regard, there is enormous possibility exists. NTPC is a key organization in India as far as the

This project has helped me in gaining and understanding the insights into what NTPC is and how it works. The importance of different ratios to the organization.
In NTPC, I have also learnt SAP and ESS (Employee Self Service) and how to work on this i.e.
- Passing and making entries in ESS for those who are employees of NTPC.
- Learning how to make entries of E-Payments in SAP.
- Making postings of E-Payments
- In SAP software I used
