Findings
Suggestion
JSW steel should try to repay a large part of the debt, at the earliest. This will lead to reduced interest burden and enhanced profitability.
. JSW must only expand to an extent where the increased production can be sold in local and global markets
JSW must try to increase its market share, so that the increased production can be sold and generate profits.
Suggestions
JSW should review its debtor’s policy to control its debt and avoid high bad debt in future.
JSW should maintain more cash and marketable securities which will enable the company to face any unexpected problem or contingencies in future.
Tata has been adversely effected by adverse macro-economic condition, it has to look for alternative market whether than domestic or global market,
SUGGESTIONS
Tata Steel should continue its good performance and try to increase its market share
Tata should get high profit and high dividend as compared to competitors to improve its share price in security’s market.
Tata should make better utilization of its inventory and have proper inventory management system in place. This will lead to increase in efficiency
SUGGESTIONS
Both of Tata steel and JSW steel are in global market level, these led the company’s sales to influence in any crisis happened in any market of its production. Moreover, in any developed countries, the infrastructure is at a top level. Hence, the demand on iron steel is very less, so both companies should look up to alternative market in developing countries
Conclusions Cyclical natural effects all players in steel industry, but it is in the management’s hands to make efforts to maintain profitability, liquidity and insolvency possession. This well lead to enhanced performance of the company and will ensure the sustainable growth of the company
