1. To study the growth of Indian Oil Corporation Limited over the past 4 years by
evaluating profitability ratio, liquidity ratio, solvency ratio and investment
ratio of the company.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1. The data is taken from secondary source which are available on the website of
Indian Oil Corporation Limited.
Mr. P. Kanagaraj, and 2Mr. Gouwsigan V (2021) The goal of the research paper is to
examine Indian Oil Corporation Limited's financial performance in terms of financial
parameters including liquidity, solvency, profitability, and efficiency position. The study
was conducted over a six-year period (2014 – 2020) to examine the company's financial
performance. The investigation was conducted using secondary data that was gathered
from the published websites of the research organisation. Ratio analysis of the balance
sheet is one of the analysis tools which is used to understand the company's financial
performance, growth ratios, profitability. A financial analysis gives a proper view of
company’s strength and weakness by forming a correlation between the components of
the balance sheet and the profit & loss account.
Divya Bharathi.R & N.Ramya (2020) The goal of the study is to determine Indian Oil
Corporation Limited's financial performance. The report is based on Indian Oil
Corporation's accounting data from the previous five years. The primary goals of the
study are to understand the company's financial performance, financial growth, and
profit margins. The research shows that the financial performance is reasonable. The
company's financial performance has been holding steady, but it has room to grow if it
focuses on lowering its administrative, selling, and operating costs. Both the company's
sales volume and gross profit should rise. With increased operations and operating cash
flows, the company was able to fully fund its obligations for capital investments and
higher levels of working capital commitment.
Dr.M.Yasodha, 2R.Haripriya, 3R.Haripriya, 4K.Kirthika (2021) The oil and gas industry
is very important to our economy. The study used Indian Oil Corporation Limited, which
has 60 years of outstanding performance. The study's goal is to assess the company's
financial standing over a five-year period (2015-2016 to 2019-2020). For the study,
secondary data were taken. For examination, a number of ratios including the current
ratio, quick ratio, absolute liquid ratio, basic earnings per share, net profit ratio, return
on equity, debt ratio, proprietary ratio, and debt-equity ratio have been employed. Due
to the epidemic, overall work performance was decreased. It is concluded that by
increasing revenue and keeping a very close eye on expenses, the corporation can
further enhance its performance. To lower liabilities, borrowings should be decreased.
Pawan Kumar, DR. V. K. Gupta, DR. Anil Kumar Goyal (2013) In India, the oil and gas
sector makes up around 40% of the country's major energy sources. One of India's six
major industries, oil and gas has a substantial forward link to the whole economy. India
is the ninth largest importer of crude oil and the world's fifth-largest user of petroleum.
This study will improve the understanding of financial statements among a variety of
stakeholders, including government agencies, suppliers, creditors, and shareholders as
well as investors and investors. The selection, assessment, and interpretation of
financial data constitute financial analysis. Internally, financial analysis can be used to
assess matters like profitability, liquidity, solvency, overall performance, operational
effectiveness, and efficiency. The study revealed that the there is need to improve the
profitability ratio. Profitability ratio include net profit margin and gross profit margin.
Renu Hooda & Kuldip Singh Chhikara (2018) The study, which attempted to examine
the trends of financial performance indicators such as total assets, total liabilities,
turnover and net income, as well as to analyse the financial health of Indian Oil
Corporation Limited via ratio analysis during the period when the world economy was
hit by various political and economic events, revealed that the company's total assets
grew at a faster rate than its liabilities, with net income, equity, and retained earnings
coming in second and third, respectively. The numerous facets of the Indian economy
were directly impacted by the events, which also had an impact on the company's
finances. The company's liquidity situation was deemed to be unsatisfactory, and its
solvency position is a sign that it was less dependent on borrowed money.
Kangkan Deka (2014) The production company's performance analysis project is more
than just a project's task. However, a basic understanding of and expertise in how to
assess the company's financial performance The study found that businesses need to
think about things like capital employment and working capital management. The
company must use its resources in a responsible manner.

1. Profitability Ratios:-
These ratio demonstrate how effectively a business can turn a profit from its
operations.
Net Profit Margin is calculated by dividing Net Profit After Tax with Revenue from
Operations and multiply with 100 to convert into percentage form. Net Profit
Margin is a strong indicator of company’s success and it is stated as a percentage.
A higher net profit margin means that company is able to effectively control its
cost i.e. firm provide goods or services at a price higher than its costs and it is
possible only when firm has efficient management, strong pricing strategies. On
the other hand, a low net profit margin means that a firm has inefficient
management and poor pricing strategies.
From the above data, It is clear that the net profit margin of the company was
2.79% during the year 2018-19 but failed to maintain its position in 2019-20 and
net profit margin decreased to 0.23%. However, net profit eventually increased
upto 4.24% in the year 2020-21 but again it decreased to 3.32 in the year 2021-
22.
The amount of revenue that remains in a given accounting period after company
pays for labour and cost of material used is termed as gross profit margin. Gross
profit margin is calculated by dividing gross profit with sales (revenue from
operation) and multiply with 100 to convert into percentage form.
From the above data, It is clear that gross profit margin of the company is not
stable. It get fluctuating over the past 4 years. The highest gross profit margin
during the study is 14.09% which came in the year 2020-21.
2. Liquidity Ratio:-
A liquidity ratio is used to determine the company’s ability to pay its short term
liabilities using its current assets.
Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets with current liabilities. The
ideal current ratio of firm should be 2:1.
From the above data, it is concluded that the company could not achieved ideal
ratio in any of the year during the study which shows that the liquidity position of
the company is poor and company is not able to meet its current liabilities.
Quick ratio is the sum of cash and accounts receivable divided by current liabilities. Quick
ratio is same as current ratio. Quick assets are the assets which are either cash or easily
convert in to cash without any major loss in the value. The ideal quick ratio of company
should be 1:1.
From the above data, it is concluded that the company unable to achieved ideal quick ratio
in any of the year during the study.
3. Solvency Ratio :-
Solvency ratios are an essential part of the financial analysis that determines if a firm has
enough cash flow to handle its upcoming debt commitments. Leverage ratios are another
name for solvency ratios. Solvency ratio measures firm’s ability to pay its long term debts.
The debt to equity ratio considers both the equity held by shareholders and the company's
obligations. The optimal ratio to use when evaluating a company's financial success is its
debt to equity ratio. Additionally, it might be useful in determining the company's capacity
to meet its debt obligations.
A high debt to equity ratio puts businesses at risk financially. It indicates that the
corporation is financing itself more through debt than through equity.
A low debt to equity ratio indicates that a company does not require debt financing because
it has enough cash in hand in the form of equity.
1.5
0.5

2021-22 2020-21 2019-20 2018-19
The ideal debt-to-equity ratio is anything between 1 to 1.5 or sometimes 2.0 is also
considered as a good debt-to-equity ratio depending on the industry. But exceeding 2.0 is
get risky for the firm. From the above data, it is concluded that Indian Oil has positive debt-
to-equity in past 4 years.
The ratio of a company's debt to total assets is an indicator of its financial leverage. It
reveals what proportion of a company's overall assets were financed by creditors. To put it
another way, it is the sum of a company's liabilities divided by the sum of its assets.
If the debt-to-assets ratio is greater than one, a business has more debt than assets. If the
ratio is less than one, the business has more assets than debt. A company with a high
ratio of total debt to total assets has a relatively high financial risk and vice-versa.
From the above data, it is examined that IOCL has debt to total assets ratio less than 1 and
has more assets than debts.
4. Investment Ratio :-
Investment ratio are used to assess the company’s ability to make a positive and profitable
returns on investment.
Earnings per share (EPS) is a metric investors commonly use to value a stock or company
because it indicates how profitable a company is on a per-share basis.
A corporation is more likely to be profitable the greater its EPS, yet this doesn't ensure its
future performance.

2021-22 2020-21 2019-20 2018-19
From the above data, it is examined that in the year 2018-19, earning per share of Indian Oil
Corporation Limited was 18.40 which drastically decreased to 1.43 in next year but it
increased to 23.78 in the year 2020-21 and 26.34 in the year 2021-22.
CONCLUSION
After the performing the financial analysis of Indian Oil Corporation Limited from
various financial keys like profitability, liquidity, solvency and investment, it is
concluded that the profitability of the company is poor because the net profit
margin and gross profit margin need to be improved.
Secondly, the ideal current ratio and ideal quick ratio of any company is 2:1 and
1:1 respectively but unfortunately Indian Oil failed to achieve this ratio in the both
case during the period of study. The liquidity ratio shows the company are able to
pay its current liabilities or not but undoubtedly Indian Oil failed to meet the
condition. Company needs to improve this ratio.
Third, The company's debt-to-equity ratio ranges from 1.89 to 2.31, with a
desirable average of 2.04. Depending on the industry, a debt-to-equity ratio of
between 1 and 1.5 or even 2.0 is also regarded as a desirable debt-to-equity ratio.
However, going above 2.0 becomes risky for the company. The debt to total
assets ratio, which ranges from 0.65 to 0.69 with an average of 0.66,
demonstrates the firm's strong solvency situation.
Fourth, earnings per share, which range from 1.43 to 26.34, is an investment ratio
that is also strong and demonstrates the company's ability to raise shareholders'
wealth.
