Analysis of Financial Performance Parameters of Four Automobile Companies in India By MCDM Techniques

A research investigation into the financial performance of selected automobile companies in India examines their overall financial stability by assessing essential indicators such as profitability, liquidity, and solvency. The objective is to uncover patterns, highlight strengths, and pinpoint areas needing improvement within the industry, ultimately providing valuable information for investors and other stakeholders. The study aims to analyze both the financial structure and position of these Indian automobile firms. This type of research concentrates on observing existing conditions as well as exploring potential new insights and interpretations. For this analysis, data was sourced from secondary materials, including annual reports, books, online resources, magazines, and newspapers. The study employed tools of MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision making) focusing mainly on TOPSIS method is employed here. By evaluating the financial performance of the selected companies, this research enhances our understanding of the sector’s economic landscape and establishes a foundation for fostering competitiveness and sustainable growth in an ever-evolving global marketplace. The main objective of this study is to analyze the financial performance of four market leader in automobile sector since last 5 years. The company taken for analysis are Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Mahindra & Mahindra.
