FINDINGS -
 Average of Current ratio between the year 2010-2017 of L&T Standalone is 1.37 and L&T Electrical and Automation is
1.15.
 Average of Quick ratio between the year 2010-2017 of L&T Standalone is 1.32 and L&T Electrical and Automation is
0.99.
 Average of Cash Position ratio between the year 2010-2017 of L&T Standalone is 0.42 and L&T Electrical and
Automation is 0.6.
 Average of Proprietary ratio between the year 2010-2017 of L&T Standalone is 0.41 and L&T Electrical and Automation
is 0.45.
 Average of Long term Debt to Equity ratio between the year 2010-2017 of L&T Standalone is 0.23 and L&T Electrical
and Automation is 0.25.
 Average of Fixed Asset ratio between the year 2010-2017 of L&T Standalone is 0.72 and L&T Electrical and Automation
is 0.49.
 The significant value of Current ratio (-0.632), Cash position ratio (0.04). Proprietary ratio (-0.594), Debt equity ratio
(0.771), Fixed asset ratio (-0.282) which is less than 0.05. Therefore, H0 is rejected, which implies there is a significant
difference between the above ratio’s and standard value. ( ob.1)
 The significant value of Current ratio (0.003), Quick ratio (0.000), Fixed asset ratio (0.011), Cash position ratio (0.014)
which is less than 0.05. Therefore, H0 is rejected, which implies there is a significant difference between the above
ratio’s of L&T Standalone and L&T E&A.( ob.2)
SUGGESTIONS -

 Current ratio of L&T Consolidated is not in good condition and

company should try to reduce current liabilities.
 A high proprietary ratio will reduce the risk and it indicates less
danger. So the management can try to increase the proprietary
ratio in present and the future.
 There should be proper efforts should be made to invest the
money which they are going to rise from selling L&T Electrical
and Automation.
CONCLUSION -
The L&T Standalone overall position is good compared to L&T
Electrical and Automation. In this study we have used ratio analysis which helped us
to find the financial soundness of the company.
The project was very useful for the judgement of the financial status of
the company which compares and tells that whether L&T constructions financial
strength is weak or not. By seeing the liquidity position we can say that by selling
L&T Electrical & Automation to Schneider Electric consortium will not affect L&T
Standalone’s financial position.
LIMITATION -
 The study is restricted for the period of seven years.
 The project study is mainly based on the secondary data given in the annual
report of L&T Constructions.
 Lack of access of information due to discomfort in disclosure of financials as
they are highly confidential.
 The figures in the financial statement are likely to be the past data’s and
information which may not give a proper financial position of the company.
