INTRODUCTION TO ORISSA POWER GENERATION CORPORATION LTD.

Orissa Power Generation Corporation Limited (OPGC) was

incorporated as a wholly owned Government Company on November

14, 1984 under the Companies Act 1956. In the pursuit of its

objective, OPGC established IB Thermal Power Station having two units of 210 MW each in the Ib valley area of Jharsuguda District in the State of Orissa. These Units have become operational since 1994 (1st Unit) and 1996 (2nd Unit) respectively.

RATIONAL OF THE PROJECT..

In order to access the performance of OPGC ltd I have done my study in the way as Du Pont analysis. The study focuses on the calculation of Return on Equity of OPGC ltd. The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity measures a corporations profitability by revealing how much profit a company generate with the money shareholders have invested. ROE is expressed as a percentage

and calculated as:

Net Profit ROE -: _______________ Shareholders Equity

To find out the assets turnover of the firm over a period.

To find out the equity multiplier of the firm. To find out whether OPGC has control over its business or not. To know the strength of the company which is fulfilling its obligations or not. To make recommendations that may be useful for the company.

Research Design..

TIME FRAME OF THE STUDY -: The research work has been based upon the data with a time frame from 2004-05 to 2008-09. TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES ADOPTED

-:

Du Pont analysis Ratio analysis Trend analysis Various pictorial representations like: Bar diagram, pie chart etc.

DATA ANALYSIS
Return on Equity is based in multiple of three aspects as profit margin, assets turnover and Equity multiplier. So first of all we have to calculate each part. These calculations are as below: 1) Profit Margin considers the profit after tax in relation to the sale of power of O.P.G.C. This shows the total profit left after payment of tax in relation to the sale of power.

INTERPRETATION:
In the year 2004-05, the profit margin is 34.8%. In the year 2005-06, the profit margin has come down to a small that is 34.4%. This year the profit margin has come down because the sales of the company has increased as well as the company has paid a small no. Of increase in TAX. In the year 2006-07, the profit margin has increased to 37.9%. This year the profit margin has increased because the sales as well as the profit have increased. But in this year the payment of tax has decreased and the sales have decreased. In the year 2007-08, the profit margin has also increased to 38.9%. But in this year the profit has decreased as well as the sales also decreased. Because this year the tax proportion has more. In the year 2008-09, the profit margin has decreased to 27.9%. In this year the profit has decreased and in the same as the sales also decreased. Because this year the tax proportion has more as the sales has less.

2) The asset turn over considers the sale of power in relation to the total assets. This shows the total sales of the company in relation to the assets in the hands of the company.

51.9% 49.2%

48.4% 40% 36.9%

INTERPRETATION:

In the year 2004-05, the Asset turnover is 49.2%. In this year the
utilization of assets has approximately well. In the year 2005-06, the Asset turnover is 51.9%. This year the asset turnover is more as compare to 2004-05 because the sales of the company in this year have increased and the holding of assets is decreased. In the year 2006-07, the Asset turnover is decreased to 48.4%. Why this year the asset turnover is less because the sales of the company have increased as well as the holding of the assets is also increased. In the year 2007-08, the Asset turnover has also decreased to 40%. Because the sales of the company has decreased and the holding of assets has decreased. In the year 2008-09, the Asset turnover has also decreased to 36.9%. Because the sales of the company in this year has also decreased and the holding of assets has increased.

3)

Equity multiplier considers the total assets in relation to the share holders fund. This shows the amount of assets in the hands of the company, whether it has increased or decreased in relation to the funds belonging to the share holders. This ratio shows a company's total assets per amount of shareholders' equity. A higher equity multiplier indicates higher financial leverage, which means the company is relying more on debt to finance its assets.

130.3% 130.8% 116.2% 112.7% 113.5%

INTERPRETATION:
In the year 2004-05, the Equity multiplier has 130.3%. That means the company uses its debt to finance its assets in this year. In the year 2005-06, the Equity multiplier has increased to 130.8%. That means the company is relying more on debt to finance its assets very well. In the year 2006-07, the Equity multiplier has decreased to 116.2%. That means in this year the holding of assets has increased as well as the share holders fund has also increased. So in this year the company is not relying more on debt to finance its assets very well. In the year 2007-08, the Equity multiplier has also decreased to 116.2%. That means in this year the holding of assets has also increased as and the shareholders fund has decreased. In the year 2008-09, the Equity multiplier has a shot increased to 113.5%. That means in this year also the holding of assets has decreased as well as the shareholders fund has also decreased.

Return on Equity = Profit margin Asset Turn over Equity Multiplier

INTERPRETATION:
In the year 2004-05, the ROE of the company has 22.3%. In the year 2005-06, the ROE of the company has increased to 23.3%. In the year 2006-07, the ROE of the company has decreased 21.3%. In the year 2007-08, the ROE of the company has also decreased to 17.5%. In the year 2008-09, the ROE of the company has also decreased to 11.7%.

Findings
By studying the OPGCs Return on Equity, it was found that:The profit margin of OPGC ltd. was rapidly increasing but in the year 2008-09, it has decreased due to the keeping of provision for depreciation. The asset turnover of OPGC ltd. has not been constant every year due to less use of the existing assets. The equity multiplier of OPGC ltd. May have decreased due to the purchasing of new assets or due to the less use of existing assets as well as the increase in share holders fund.

The return on equity of OPGC ltd. has also come down year by year
due to less use of funds of share holders.

Suggestions.......
The profit margin will increase if OPGC ltd. will keep less provision of depreciation and use its assets in a frequent manner. The asset turnover of OPGC ltd. can be increased by using its assets very well. The return on equity can be increased if OPGC ltd. will use the funds of share holders in the best possible way. The existing accounting system that OPGC uses in the preparation and compilation of Du Pont analysis is fair to some extent but as per today's scenario, with the evolution of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting system, the former is outdated. So OPGC should change the accounting system for the preparation and compilation of final Accounts as soon as possible.

Conclusion.......
After examining and studying the trend in Du Pont analysis of Orissa Power Generation Corporation Ltd., we find that the organization follows all the necessary amendments needed for the preparation of Du Pont analysis of the company registered under the Companies Act, 1956. The return on equity over the period of analysis showed a satisfactory trend. This can be thought of as proper management of the share holders fund by OPGC ltd. The analysis of asset turn over leads us to believe that the organisation is constantly having a watch over the use and replacement of its productive assets. OPGC ltd. , even though is a public sector organisation , is well versed with the latest developments in production technique as well as accounting practices. This can be looked upon as a contrary to the public sector undertakings in India. Through the analysis and findings of this project, it can be concluded that OPGC is nurtured in the right direction by its management as well as employees and will continue to be a role model for other public sector undertakings in the future.
