As i am not from finance sector i wont be able to provide answer related to ur question.
But, as per your case. It say in the year 1983 it hit the market with new lunch of G800. And after few year company started moving down which invited MNC t step in to india. resone can be no new model which deceres the attration of customer. then next in year FY04 company hit market again and after that again till 3 years no new model has been lunch.
Now a days customer reqired more of styles, long durable and low cost model For which, garuda fail. for that garuda can plan new model in every 2 or 3 year also considering indian market and roads. redusing improt and manufacturing in state where goverment duties are less. one more thing conbe done till noe garuda is in the small segment car, this time they can plan for family car also which, can give customer new attraction.
last thing can be done is garuda should release some shares in market and after that with in 1 month a annoucement new car which can attrace customer as well as people who deal with shares.

Some fell asleep during this article. It was the writer itself!
285 crores is 3.85 billion & 977 crores is 9.77 billion?? Please get your conversions clear-1 billion is a 1000 crores. Looks like you've outsourced your website content work to nursery school students in pursuit for cost cutting.But I believe you can at least afford a graduate for the role of a content editor!!

the result will be posted on the thesmartmanager.com website. they will let you know if you have won. i have myself won two times, but gave the money for charity. Try to compete and maybe you will win
Hi, A company should be a debt free, so that the investors are attracted towards a debt free company. An investor looks for security of his investments. The company can go for joint ventures for further investment plans or probably for a merger with a well established player. The company can cut down the cost of production by outsourcing the component. And should invest in R&D to produce Next generation cars to surviev in the highly competative market.
Increasing Debts can be risky at this point and will not necessarily increase market confidence as far as market shares prices are concerned. The company needs to effectively utilise what it already has rather than acting in a foolhardy way....the real market is not bollywood...however you can use bollywood,star plus,FMs in metros for a MAJOR , MAJOR campaign. ..If funding ia an issue here, it may be arranged fom interest free resources outside India which of course might still work as a loan/debt for tax savings. It might even be a right time for a financial merger with another foreign company or thinking about a JOINT venture with an already established MAJOR INDIAN PLAYER....the company might need to be renamed.
I have no comments on the basic financing strategy of Garuda....it is the era of effective marketing not simply making strategies in the back office. It seems the company thougt that by marketing quality,economical products with back up facilities and longterm trust building, they can win over the competition,,,which has proved contrary. The companies rationale of financial policy on the other hand seems akin to ....in just one word....GAMBLING....with the hope the more you play , the more the chances of winning. I have alredy hinted how Garuda might finance its future capital investments, without of course overburdening itself...in addition it should invest in small mechanical,competency based schools cum wokshops where they may initially in the first year or so nominally charge trainees and subsequently employ them by providing easy franchises in far flung rural economically cutt off rural areas of India....even making it official by merging it, of course in good faith, with already existing Indian central governmement initiatives for rural development.
For further suggestions , I need to really contact experts and rendering further advice would really cost me more than 25,000 rupees. I hope I have kept it quite simple and used a common mans language. I think you can pay SAVE THE CHILDREN INDIA ,the above amount if you find any of my suggestions useful.

I have competed in such contests and had won 12500Rs. I had contributed the money to the Blind Society in Vizag who do a lot of good work for blind people. I will request people to be involved in such activities Ravi
I have seen more than 35 case studies...for all those case studies having clear cut idea...here thing is 1. There is no exact picture...abt the issue 2. Their expectation is different from what they are having. 3. For senior Employment doesnt have consistency... Regards, Bhasker
If you look at the financial figures of last five years, the company recorded lowest profit while it was under huge debt, the additional income generated if not some thing that out weights the money needed to repay the debt and the interest on it. Now company is in a narrow level of debt and the perfomance in this situation is surprisingly good. By funding through debt, you are agreeing to pay out the interest on it i.e, a part of the profit you have made with that investment, with the required magnitude of funding requirement, the amout required to pay interest may surpass the additional revenue/income you create with it.
