HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

Page 9: the final

Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata

Sons. The company was established in 1935 as a locomotive manufacturing unit

and later expanded its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after

forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. Despite the success

of its commercial vehicles, Tata realized his company had to diversify and he

began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that

building a small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it

launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Designed to

be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became a hit in the

Indian market. It was also exported to Europe, especially the UK and Italy. In

2004 it acquired Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle, and in late 2005 it acquired

21% of Aragonese Hispano Carrocera giving it controlling rights of the

company. It has formed a joint venture with Marcopolo of Brazil, and

introduced low-floor buses in the Indian Market. Recently, it has acquired

British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which includes the Daimler and Lanchester

brand names.

EXPANSION OF THE COMPANY

The FIRST generation Tata Indica V2's excellent fuel economy, powerful

engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in

the history of the Indian automobile industry.

After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors

entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a

multi utility vehicle. After the launch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate (1992,

a stationwagon design based on the earlier 'TataMobile' (1989), a light

commercial vehicle), Tata Sumo (LCV, 1994) and Tata Safari (1998, India's

first sports utility vehicle). Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully

indigenous passenger car of India. Though the car was initially panned by auto-

analysts, the car's excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive

marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the

Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a

major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-

favourite. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to

South Africa.The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata

Motors.

Page 15: the final

representing a 25.5% share in the industry (improving from 24.4% share in the previous year).

Commercial vehicle sales were highest ever at 373,842 vehicles achieving a robust growth of 40.9% over previous year and a market share of 64.2% (a gain of 0.4%, over previous year). A strong product portfolio, successful launch of new products and variants, extensive efforts in marketing and finance enablement for customers and leadership in market research and penetration, contributed to the significant improvement in overall performance. Some of the key highlights were:- - a market share improvement to 63.3% (from 61.9% in the previous year); launch of the next generation of heavy trucks - Prima range; completion of delivery of 1,625 low entry buses to Delhi Transport Corporation and delivery of major portion of the orders of over 5,000 buses underJnNURM Scheme of Government of India for modernizing the public transport in India. Passenger vehicle sales were 260,020 vehicles, highest ever, achieving a growth of 25.3% over previous year and a market share of 13.7% (stable compared to 13.6% in the previous year). The Company continues to be amongst the top three players in the passenger vehicle market which has over 25 players. The growing sales of the new generation Indica Vista and successful launch and market response for the Indigo Manza mainly contributed to the growth. Some of the key highlights were: - In the Small Car segment, increase in market share to 13.3% (as against 12.7%, in the previous year), with the growing sales of Indica Vista, sales of the Nano and the Fiat Punto; - Commencement of sales of Nano in July 2009 and completing deliveries of 30,763 cars to the customers and commencement of trial production in the Sanand plant. - The Indigo range sales of 54,551 units, a growth of 10.9% over the previous year and also the highest ever sales by the Company in this range, mainly due to the launch of the Indigo Manza in October 2009. - Sale of 33,507 Multi-Utility Vehicles (MUVs), a decline of 14.7% against the last year and as a result the market share dropped to 12.4%.

the carrier for export sales, which is when risks and rewards of ownership pass

to the dealer / customer. Sales include income from services, transfer of

Page 18: the final

technology relating to automotive products and exchange fluctuations relating

to export receivables. Sales include export and other recurring and non-

recurring incentives from the Government at the national and state levels. Sale

of products is presented gross of excise duty where applicable, and net of other

Revenues are recognized when collectibles of the resulting receivables is

reasonably assured.

Dividend from investments is recognized when the right to receive the payment

is established and when no significant uncertainty as to measurability or

collectability exists. Interest income is recognized on the time basis determined

by the amount outstanding and the rate applicable and where no significant

uncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists.

(d) Depreciation and Amortization

(i) Depreciation is provided on straight line method (SLM), at the

rates and in the manner prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies

Act, 1956 except in the case of :

o Leasehold Land – amortised over the period of the lease

o Technical Know-how – at 16.67% (SLM)

o Cars – at 23.75% (SLM)

Assets acquired prior to April 1, 1975 – on Written Down Value basis

at rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

Software in excess of Rs. 25,000 is amortised over a period of sixty

months or on the basis of estimated useful life whichever is lower.

Page 19: the final

(ii) Product development cost are amortised over a period of 36 months to 120

months or on the basis of actual production to planned production volume over

such period.

(iii) In respect of assets whose useful life has been revised, the unamortised

depreciable amount has been charged over the revised remaining useful life.

(iv) Depreciation is not recorded on capital work-in-progress until construction

and installation are complete and asset is ready for its intended use. Capital

work-in-progress includes capital advances.

(e) Fixed Assets

(i) Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less

accumulated depreciation / amortization.

(ii) The product development cost incurred on new vehicle platform, engines,

transmission and new products are recognised as fixed assets, when feasibility

has been established, the Company has committed technical, financial and other

resources to complete the developmentand it is probable that asset will generate

probable future benefits.

(iii) Cost includes purchase price, taxes and duties, labour cost and directly

attributable costs for self constructed assets and other direct costs incurred upto

the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Borrowing cost incurred for

qualifying assets is capitalised up to the date the asset is ready for intended use,

based on borrowings incurred specifically for financing the asset or the

weighted average rate of all other borrowings, if no specific borrowings have

been incurred for the asset. The cost of acquisition is further adjusted for

Page 20: the final

exchange differences relating to long term foreign currency borrowings

attributable to the acquisition of depreciable asset w.e.f. April 1, 2007.

(iv) Software not exceeding Rs. 25,000 and product development costs relating

to minor product enhancements, facelifts and upgrades are charged off to the

Profit and Loss Account as and when incurred.

(f ) Impairment

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any

indication that the fixed assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such

indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to

determine the extent of the impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to

estimate the recoverable amount of individual asset, the Company estimates the

recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

As per the assessment conducted by the Company at March 31, 2010, there

were no indications that the fixed assets have suffered an impairment loss.

(g) Leases

(i) Finance Lease

Assets acquired under finance leases are recognised at the lower of the fair

value of the leased assets at inception and the present value of minimum lease

payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the

outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease

term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the

liability. Assets given under finance leases are recognised as receivables at an

Page 21: the final

amount equal to the net investment in the lease and the finance income is based

on a constant rate of return on the outstanding net investment.

(ii) Operating Lease

Leases other than finance lease, are operating leases, and the leased assets are

not recognised on the Company’s balance sheet. Payments under operating

leases are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis

over the term of the lease.

(h) Transactions in Foreign Currencies and Accounting of Derivatives

(i) Exchange differences

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing

on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities

are translated at year end exchange rates.

(1) Exchange differences arising on settlement of transactions and translation

of monetary items other than those covered by (2) below are recognized as

income or expense in the year in which they arise. Exchange differences

considered as borrowing cost are capitalized to the extent these relate to the

acquisition / construction of qualifying assets and the balance amount is

recognized in the Profit & Loss Account.

(2) Exchange differences relating to long term foreign currency monetary

assets / liabilities are accounted for with effect from April 1, 2007 in the

following manner:

- Differences relating to borrowings attributable to the acquisition of

the depreciable capital asset are added to / deducted from the cost of

such capital assets.

Page 22: the final

- Other differences are accumulated in Foreign Currency Monetary Item

Translation Difference Account, to be amortized over the period, beginning

April 1, 2007 or date of inception of such item, as applicable, and ending on

March 31, 2011 or the date of its maturity, whichever is earlier.

(ii) Hedge Accounting

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks

associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable

forecast transactions. With effect from April 1, 2008, the Company designates

such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the

hedge accounting principles set out in Accounting Standard 30- Financial

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes

in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as

hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in Hedging Reserve

Account under Reserves and Surplus, net of applicable deferred income taxes

and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss

Account.

Amounts accumulated in Hedging Reserve Account are reclassified to profit

and loss in the same periods during which the forecasted transaction affects

profit and loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is

sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For

forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument

recognised in Hedging Reserve Account is retained there until the forecasted

Page 23: the final

transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur,

the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in Hedging Reserve Account is

immediately transferred to the Profit and Loss Account.

(i) Product Warranty Expenses

The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are

sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature,

frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates

regarding possible future incidence based on corrective actions on product

failures. The timing of outflows will vary as and when warranty claim will

arise - being typically upto three years.

(j) Income on Vehicle Loan / Hire-Purchase Income / Finance Income from

Lease

Interest income from hire purchase and loan contracts and finance income in

respect of vehicles are accounted for by using the Internal Rate of Return

method. Consequently, a constant rate of return on the net outstanding amount

is accrued over the period of contract. The

Company provides an allowance for hire purchase and loan receivables that

are in arrears for more than 11 months, to the extent of an amount equivalent to

the outstanding principal and amounts due but unpaid, considering probable

inherent loss including estimated realization based on past performance trends.

In respect of loan contracts that are in arrears for more than 6 months but not

more than 11 months, allowance is provided to the extent of 10% of the

outstanding and amount due but unpaid.

Page 24: the final

(k) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw

materials and consumables are ascertained on a moving weighted average /

monthly moving weighted average basis. Cost, including variable and fixed

overheads, are allocated to work-in-progress and stock-in-trade determined on

full absorption cost basis. Net realisable value is estimated selling price in the

ordinary course of business less estimated cost of completion and selling

expenses.

(l) Employee Benefits

(i) Gratuity

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement

plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to

vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of

employment of an amount equivalent to 15 to 30 days salary payable for each

completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of

service. The Company makes annual contributions to gratuity fund established

as trust. The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in

future based on an independent actuarial valuation.

(ii) Superannuation

The Company has two superannuation plans, a defined benefit plan and a

defined contribution plan. An eligible employee on April 1, 1996 could elect to

be a member of either plan. Employees who are members of the defined benefit

superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the years of service

Page 25: the final

and salary drawn. The monthly pension benefits after retirement range from

0.75% to 2% of the annual basic salary for each year of service. The Company

accounts for the liability for superannuation benefits payable in future under the

plan based on an independent actuarial valuation.

With effect from April 1, 2003, this plan was amended and benefits earned by

covered employees have been protected as at March 31, 2003. Employees

covered by this plan are prospectively entitled to benefits computed on a basis

that ensures that the annual cost of providing the pension benefits would not

exceed 15% of salary.

The Company maintains a separate irrevocable trust for employees covered and

entitled to benefits. The Company contributes up to 15% of the eligible

employees’ salary to the trust every year. The Company recognizes such

contributions as an expense when incurred.

The Company has no further obligation beyond this contribution.

(iii) Bhavishya Kalyan Yojana (BKY)

Bhavishya Kalyan Yojana is an unfunded defined benefit plan. The benefits of

the plan include pension in certain case, payable upto the date of normal

superannuation had the employee been in service, to an eligible employee at the

time of death or permanent disablement, while in service, either as a result of an

injury or as certified by the Company’s Medical Board. The monthly payment

to dependents of the deceased / disabled employee under the plan equals 50% of

the salary drawn at the time of death or accident or a specified amount,

whichever is higher. The Company accounts for the liability for BKY benefits

payable in future based on an independent actuarial valuation.

Page 26: the final

(iv) Post-retirement Medicare Scheme

Under this scheme, employees get medical benefits subject to certain limits of

amount, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade

and location at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the Company

as part of Early Separation Scheme, on medical grounds or due to permanent

disablement are also covered under the scheme. The liability for post-retirement

medical scheme is based on an independent actuarial valuation.

(v) Provident fund

The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under

the provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and

the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the

covered employees’ salary (currently 12% of employees’ salary). The

contributions as specified under the law are paid to the provident fund and

pension fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company or to respective

Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and the Central Provident Fund under

the State Pension scheme. The Company is generally liable for annual

contributions and any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government

specified minimum rates of return or pension and recognises such contributions

and shortfall, if any, as an expense in the year incurred.

(vi) Compensated absences

The Company provides for the encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to

certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain

limits, for future encashment. The liability is provided based on the number of

Page 27: the final

days of unutilised leave at each balance sheet date on the basis of an

independent actuarial valuation.

(m) Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost less other than temporary diminution in

value, if any. Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value. Fair

value of investments in mutual funds are determined on a portfolio basis.

(n) Income Tax Expenses

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as

determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

tax includes Fringe benefit tax, applicable upto year ending March 31, 2009.

Deferred tax is recognised, on timing differences, being the difference between

taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are

capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.

Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of

losses are recognised if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient

future taxable income available to realise such losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates that are

expected to apply in the period when asset is realised or the liability is settled,

Page 28: the final

based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted

by the balance sheet date.

Green Matters:

Tata Motors, a Company that cares about the future...

True to the tradition of the Tata Group, Tata Motors is committed in letter and

spirit to Corporate Social Responsibility. It is a signatory to the United Nations

Global Compact, and is engaged in community and social initiatives on labour

Page 38: the final

and environment standards in compliance with the principles of the Global

Compact. In accordance with this, it plays an active role in community

development, serving rural communities adjacent to its manufacturing

locations.

Tata Motors believes in technology for tomorrow. Our products stand

testimony to this.Our annual expenditure on R&D is approximately 2% of our

turnover. We have also set up two in-house Engineering Research Centres that

house India's only Certified Crash Test Facility. We ensure that our products

are environmentally sound in a variety of ways. These include reducing

hazardous materials in vehicle components, developing extended life

lubricants, fluids and using ozone-friendly refrigerants. Tata Motors has been

making conscious effort in the implementation of several environmentally

sensitive technologies in manufacturing processes. The Company uses some of

the world's most advanced equipment for emission check and control.

Tata Motors concern is manifested by a dual approach –

1) Reduction of environmental pollution and regular pollution control drives

2) Restoration of ecological balance.

Our endeavors towards environment protection are soil and water conservation

programmes and extensive tree plantation drives. Tata Motors is committed to

restoring and preserving environmental balance, by reducing waste and

pollutants, conserving resources and recycling materials.

Reducing Pollution:

Tata Motors has been at the forefront of the Indian automobile industry's anti-

pollution efforts by introducing cleaner engines. It is the first Indian Company

to introduce vehicles with Euro norms  well ahead of  the  mandated dates. 

Page 39: the final

Tata  Motors'  joint venture with Cummins Engine Company, USA, in 1992,

was a pioneering effort to introduce emission control technology for India.

Over the years, Tata Motors has also made investments in setting up of an

advanced emission-testing laboratory.

With the intention of protecting the environment, Tata Motors has upgraded

the performance of its entire range of four and six cylinder engines to meet

international emission standards. This has been accomplished with the help of

world-renowned engine consultants like Ricardo and AVL. These engines are

used in Tata Motors vehicles in the Indian market, as well as in over 70 export

markets.

Tata Motors is constantly working towards developing alternative fuel engine

technologies. It has manufactured CNG version of buses and followed it up

with a CNG version of its passenger car, the Indica.

Restoring Ecological Balance:

Tata Motors has set up effluent treatment facilities in its plants, to avoid

release of polluted water into the ecosystem. In Pune, the treated water is

conserved in lakes attracting various species of birds from around the world

thus turning the space into a green belt.

Tree plantation programmes involving villagers and Tata Motors employees,

have turned acres of barren village green. Tata Motors has planted as many as

80,000 trees in the works and the township and more than 2.4 million trees

have been planted in Jamshedpur region. Over half a million trees have been

planted in the Poona region. Tata Motors has directed all its suppliers to

package their products in alternate material instead of wood.

Page 40: the final

End of Life Vehicle Treatment and Recycling:

India is a recycling society with many people making value out the recovery of

waste materials discarded from products at the end of their useful life.

However, Europe, and some other export markets, have recognised that they

have become a 'throwaway' society in recent decades, and are now introducing

waste prevention regimes in different industry sectors to collect and recycle

valuable resource rather than it ending up in landfill.

In the Automotive sector, the European End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive,

points responsibility for this issue to vehicle manufacturers, and the scrap car

recovery industry. Similar regulations are being introduced in Japan and

Korea.

Naturally, Tata Motors has already met the 'producer responsibility' aspects of

the ELV Directive, such as compliance to Heavy metals and other hazardous

substance restrictions. Also, material code marking of plastic parts has been

introduced to aid achievement of demanding European recycling targets.

Central to this European regulation is for manufacturers to provide free take-

back networks for environmentally sound treatment of ELVs. Last owner

contacts for access to Tata Motors subscribed take-back schemes can be found

in: www.tatamotors.com/takeback.php

Only specially authorized vehicle dismantler and shredder operators are

allowed to treat ELVs in Europe, and they have access to Tata Motors ELV

treatment information by registering on: www.tatamotors.com/dismantlers

Community Development:

The Company's Community Service Division works through various societies

to improve the conditions of neighbouring villages - encouraging economic

independence through self-initiated cottage industries and contributing to

community and social forestry, road construction, rural health, education,

water supply and family planning.

Tata Motors has been making numerous well-planned efforts in the area of

rural development, with specific focus on the following:

Health & Sanitation:

Mobile health service staff provide preventive and curative health services

under the "Health For All" programme. They train village health workers in

conducting the same. Safe drinking water facilities are provided to ensure

health of the villagers.

Employment Generation:

Tata Motors encourages self-sufficiency with the aim to improving the

confidence,  morale and  lives of its employees and their dependents. The

Company has worked on some novel ideas around its townships. Employees'

relatives at Pune have been encouraged to form various industrial co-

operatives engaged in activities such as re-cycling of scrap wood into crates

and furniture, welding, steel scrap baling, battery cable assembly etc. The Tata

Motors Grihini Social Welfare Society caters to employees' women

dependents'. The women folk make a variety of products, ranging from pickles

and uniforms to electrical cable harnesses etc.
