or investment decisions to set up a facility at DR. REDDY’S

LABORATORIES LTD for manufacturing NEW DRUG 30 for

supplies directly from bulk units.

The following capital budgeting techniques are used for evaluation

assuming 9% as discounting factor:

Non-discounted techniques like PAYBACK PERIOD (PBP),

AVERAGE RATE OF RETURN (ARR)

Discounted techniques like NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV),

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (IRR) and PROFITABILITY

INDEX (PI)

Capital Budgeting or investment decisions are of considerable importance to

the firm.

Since they tend to determine its value by influencing its growth,

profitability and risk.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

An efficient allocation of capital is the most important finance function in the modern times. It involves decisions to commit the firm’s funds to

(4)

the long-term assets. The investment decisions of a firm are generally known as the Capital budgeting, or Capital Expenditure Decisions. A Capital Budgeting Decision may be defined as the firm’s decision to invest its current funds most efficiently in the long-term assets in anticipation of an expected flow of benefits over a series of years. The project aims at evaluating the investment proposal for setting up a facility in Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd.

Capital Budgeting In Dr. Reddy’s

• The company has separate department for all capital investments evaluation.

• User department specifying the details of the project to be executed will

raise an internal order request form.

• The project proposal will be initially evaluated by the HOD (Head Of the

Dept.).

• After initial approval from the HOD the project will be evaluated by the

Projects Team (Meant for evaluation of Capital investments said in point no. (1) Taking out the Technicalities of the projects and viability in the existing environment. This team will evaluate the project basically in these areas –

OF

LITERATURE

Investment Decisions

One of the basic questions faced by financial managers is: How should the scarce resources of the firms be allocated to get the maximum value for the firm? This refers to investment decisions, which deal with investment of firm’s resources in Long term (fixed) Assets and Short term (current) Assets or Capital Budgeting Decisions and Working Capital Management.

(7)

Capital budgeting is a decision making process for investment in assets that have long term implications, affect the future growth and profitability of the firm and basic composition and assets mix of the firm. It involves

• Measuring the benefits and costs associated with each alternative option

in terms of incremental cash flows,

• Evaluating different proposals in the light of return expected by the investors of the firm and the return promised by the proposal, and

• Applying different techniques to select an alternative with the objective of

maximization of value of the firm.

Typically, Capital Budgeting decisions involve rather large cash outlays and commit the firm to a particular course of action over a relatively long period and consequently, every care should be taken care of. The future risks and uncertainties should be incorporated in the evaluation procedure so that future cash flows occur as they are intended to be. (R.P.Rustagi 2005, p367)

Definition of Capital Budgeting

The term capital budgeting refers to long-term planning for proposed capital outlays and their financing. Thus, it includes both rising of long-term funds as well as their utilization. It may this be defined as “The firm’s decision to invest its current funds most efficiently in the long-term assets in anticipation of an expected flow of benefits over a series of years”

(8)

(I.M.Pandey 2005, p141). It is the decision making process where the firm evaluate the purchase of major fixed assets. It involves the firm’s decision to invest its current funds for addition, disposition, modification and replacement of long-term or fixed asset. However, it should be noted that investment in current assets necessitated on account of investment in fixed assets, is also to be taken as a capital budgeting decision.

Features of Capital Budgeting

• The exchange of current funds for future benefits.

• The funds are invested in long-term assets.

• The future benefits will occur to the firm over a series of years (I.M.Pandey2005,p141)

Significance of Capital Budgeting

The significance of capital budgeting may be stated as follows.

INVESTMENTS OF HEAVY FUNDS: Capital budgeting decisions generally, involve large investment of funds. But the funds available with the firm are always limited and the demand for fund fax exceeds the resources. Hence it is very important for a firm to plan and control its capital expenditure.

LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS: The effect of capital budgeting decisions will be felt by the firm over a long period and therefore they have a decisive influence on the rate and direction of the growth of the firm.

IRREVERSIBLE DECISION: In most cases, capital budgeting decisions

(9)

purchased or sell them at substantial loss in the event of the decision being proved wrong.

MOST DIFFICULT TO MAKE: The capital budgeting decisions require an

assessment of future events, which are uncertain. It is really a difficult task to estimate the probable future events, because of economic, political, social and technological factors.

Types of Investment Decisions

INDEPENDENT INVESTMENTS: These are proposals, which do not

compete with one another in a way that acceptance of one precludes the possibility of acceptance of another. In case of such proposals the firm may straightaway “accept or reject” a proposal on the basis of a minimum return on investment required. All these proposals, which give a higher, return than a certain desired rate of return are accepted and the rest are rejected.

CONTINGENT INVESTMENTS: These are proposals whose acceptance depends on the acceptance of one or more other proposals. For example a new machine has to be purchased on account of substantial expansion of plant, in this case investment in the machine is dependent upon expansion of plant. When a contingent investment proposal is made, it should also contain the proposal on which it is dependent in order to have a better perspective of the situation.

MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE INVESTMENTS: These are proposals, which compete with each other in a way that the acceptance of one precludes

(10)

the acceptance of other or others. For example, if a company is considering investment in one of two temperature control systems, acceptance of one system will rule out the acceptance of another. Thus two or more mutually exclusive proposals cannot be accepted. Some technique has to be used for selecting the better or the best one. Once this is done other alternatives get automatically get eliminated. ( I.M.Pandey 2005,p142-143)

MAKE OR BUY DECISION: Make or buy decision is no longer a short

run operating decision and it becomes a problem of capital expenditure which necessitates consideration of required rate of return, A company has to take this decision, when it has to face following choice

5 Buy certain part or sub-assemblies from outside suppliers; or 6 Use available capacity to produce the item within the factory. In this decision, the following are major considerations:

7 Costs that will be incurred under both alternatives are not relevant to the analysis.

8 Potential uses of available capacity should be considered.

9 Pertinent quantitative factors must be evaluated in the decision process. These considerations include price stability from suppliers, reliability of delivery and quality specifications of materials or components involved.(V.K. Saxena & C.D. Vashist 2002, pT.8.15)

(11)

Factors Affecting Capital Investment Decisions

The following are the four important factors, which are generally taken into account while making a capital investment decision:

THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT: In case a firm has unlimited funds for investment it can accept all capital investment proposals which give a rate of return higher than the minimum acceptable or cut-off rate. However, most firms have limited funds and therefore capital rationing has to be imposed. In such an event a firm can take only such projects, which are within its means. In order to determine which project should be taken up on this basis, the projects should be arranged in an ascending order according to the amount of capital investment required.

COMPUTATION OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT REQUIRED

The term ‘capital investment required’ refers to the net cash outflow, which is the sum of all outflows and inflows occurring at zero time period. The net outflow is determined by taking into account the following factors.

Cost of the new project Installation cost.

Working capital

Proceeds from sale of asset: A new asset may be purchased for replacement of an old asset. The old asset may therefore be sold away. The cash realized on account of such sale will reduce the cost of new investment.

(12)

Tax effects: The amount of profit or loss on the sale of assets may affect the cash flows on account of tax affects. The profit/loss is

ascertained by taking into account the cost of the asset, its book value and the amount realized on its sale. The tax liability will be different in each of the following case

When the asset is sold at its book value.

When the asset is sold at a price higher than its book value but lower than its cost.

When the asset is sold at a price higher than its cost. When the asset is sold lower than its book value

Investment allowance: This is allowed to encourage capital investment in Machinery and equipment. Such allowance thus reduces the cost of the initial investment of the project.

MINIMUM RATE OF RETURN ON INVESTMENT : The management expects

a minimum rate of return on the capital investment. The minimum rate of return is usually decided on the basis of the cost of capital. For example, if the cost of capital is 10%, the management will not like to accept

A proposal, which yields a rate of return less than 10%. The project s giving a yield below the desired rate of return will therefore be rejected.

CUT-OFF POINT: The cut-off point refers to the point below which a project would not be accepted. For example, if 10% is the desired rate of return, the cut-off rate is 10%. The cut-off point may also be in terms of

(13)

project should be recouped in three years, the period of three years would be taken as the cut-off period.

RETURN EXPECTED FROM THE INVESTMENT : Capital investment

decisions are made in anticipation of increased return in the future. It is therefore very necessary to estimate the future return or benefits accruing from the investment proposals. There are two proposals available for quantifying benefits from capital Investment decisions. They are:

ACCOUNTING PROFIT: The term accounting profit is identical with income concept used in accounting.

CASH FLOWS: In this depreciation charges and other amortization charges on the fixed assets are not subtracted from gross revenue because no cash expenditure is involve.

Capital Budgeting Process

Capital Budgeting is a complex process as it involves decisions relating to the investment of current funds for the benefit to the achieved in future and the future is always uncertain, which may be divided into following phases:

• Identification of potential investment opportunities

• Assembling of proposed investment Decision making • Preparation of capital budget and appropriations

• Implementation

(14)

Identification of Potential Investment Opportunities

The Capital Budgeting process begins with the identification of investment opportunities. The planning body develops estimates of future sales, which serve as the basis for setting production targets. This information, in turn, is helpful in identifying required investment in plant and equipment.

For imaginative identification of investment ideas it is helpful to

• Monitor external environment regularly to scout investment opportunities.

• Formulating a well defined corporate strategy based on a through analysis

of strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats.

• Share corporate strategy and perspectives with persons who are involved

in the process of Capital Budgeting.

• Motivate employees to make suggestions.

Assembling Of Proposed Investments

Investment proposals identified by the production department and other departments are usually submitted in a standardized capital investment proposal form. Generally, most of the proposals, before they reach the capital budgeting team, which assembles them, are routed through several persons. The purpose of routing a proposal through several persons is primarily to ensure that the proposal is viewed from different angles. It also helps in creating a climate for bringing about co-ordination of interrelated activities. Investment proposals are usually classified into various categories for

(15)

facilitating decision-making, budgeting and control. An illustrative classification is given below:

• Replacement investment. • Expansion investment.

• New product investments/modernization. • Obligatory and welfare investments.

Decision Making

A system of rupee gateways usually characterizes capital investment decision-making. Under this system, executives are vested with the power to okay investment proposals up to certain limits. For example in company the plant superintendent can okay investment outlays up to Rs.2000000 the works manager up to Rs 500000 and the M.D up to Rs 2000000.Investment requiring higher outlays needs the approval of the Board Of Directors.

Preparation of Capital Budget and Appropriations

Projects involving smaller outlays and which executives at lower levels can decide are often covered by a blanket appropriation for expeditious action. Project involving larger outlays is included in the capital budget after necessary approvals. Before undertaking such projects an appropriation order is usually required. The purpose of this check is mainly to ensure that the funds position of the firm is satisfactory at the time of implementation. Further, it provides an opportunity to review the project at the time of implementation.

(16)

Implementation

Translating an investment proposal into a concrete project is complex; time consuming, and risk-fraught task. Delays in implementation, which are common, can lead to substantial cost over runs. For expeditious implementation at a reasonable cost, the following are helpful.

Adequate Formulation of Projects: The major reason for delay is

inadequate formulation of projects. Put differently, if necessary homework in terms of preliminary studies and comprehensive and detailed formulation of the project is not done, many surprises and project cannot be over-emphasized.

Use of the Principle of Responsibility Accounting: Assigning specific

responsibilities to project managers for completing the project within the defined time frame and cost limits is helpful for expeditious execution and cost control.

Use of Network Techniques: For project planning and control several

network techniques likes PERT (Programming Evaluation Review Technique) and CAPM (Critical Path Method) are available. With the help of these techniques, monitoring becomes easier.

Performance Review

Performance review, or post-completion audit, is a feedback device. It is a means for comparing actual performance with projected performance. It may be conducted most stabilized. It is useful in several ways:

(17)

• It throws light on how realistic were the assumptions underlying the project.

• It provides a documented log of experience that is highly valuable for

decision making.

• It helps in uncovering judgmental biases.

• It induces a desired caution among project sponsors.(Prasanna Chandra 2006, p290-292)

Evaluation Techniques of Capital Budgeting

Evaluation Techniques of Capital Budgeting are classified into two types: 1. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES:

• Average rate of return • Pay-back period

2. MODERN (OR) DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW (DCF) TECHNIQUES:

• Net present value (NPV) • Internal rate of return (IRR)

• Profitability index (PI) or Benefit-cost ratio (B/C RATIO)

Traditional Techniques

1. Average Rate of Return (ARR)

The average rate of return (ARR) method of evaluating proposed capital expenditure is also known as the accounting rate of return method. It is based upon accounting information rather than cash flows. There is no unanimity

(18)

regarding the definition of the rate of return. There are a number of alternative methods for calculating the ARR. The most common usage of the average rate of return (ARR) expresses it as follows:

ARR = Average annual profits (after dep & taxes) * 100 Average investment over the life of the project

ACCEPT-REJECT RULE:

With the help of the ARR, the financial decision maker can decide whether to accept or reject the investment proposal. As an accept-reject criterion, the actual ARR would be compared with a predetermined or a minimum required rate of return or cut-off rate.

• Accept if ARR > minimum rate

Reject if ARR < minimum rate

2. Pay Back Period (PBP)

The pay back method (PB) is the second traditional method of capital budgeting. It is the simplest and, perhaps, the most widely employed, quantitative method for appraising capital expenditure decisions. This method Net Present Value (NPV)

The first DCF/PV technique is the NPV. NPV may be described as the summation of the present values of cash proceeds (CFAT) in each year

(19)

minus the summation of present value of the net cash outflows in each year. Symbolically, the NPV for projects having conventional cash flows would be: NPV =

= + n t t t r c 1 (1 ) - Initial investment

Wherect = cash flow at the end of year t

n = life of the project r = discount rate

STEPS FOR COMPUTATION OF NPV:

• Firstly an appropriate rate of interest should be selected to discount cash inflows. It is generally known as cost of capital, which is equal to the minimum rate of return expected by the firm on investment proposals.

• Secondly, the present value of cash inflows and cash outflows should be

computed using the cost of capital as discounting rate.

• Finally, the present value of cash outflows is subtracted from present value of cash inflows to get NPV.

ACCEPT-REJECT CRITERION:

• NPV>ZERO (accept)

• NPV<ZERO (reject)

(20)

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

The second discounted cash flow (DCF) or time adjusted method for appraising capital investment decisions is the internal rate of return (IRR) method. This technique is also known as yield on investment, marginal efficiency of capital, marginal productivity of capital, rate of return, and time-adjusted rate of return and so on. Like the present value method, the IRR method also considered the time value of money by discounting the cash streams.

The internal rate of return is usually the rate of return the project earns. It is defined as the discount rate(r) which equates the aggregate present value of the net cash inflows (CFAT) with the aggregate present value of cash outflows of a project. In other words, it is that rate which gives the project NPV as zero.

COMPUTATION OF IRR

In computing IRR, future cash inflows are discounted in such a way that their total PV is just equal to the PV of total cash outflows. The time schedule of occurrence of the future cash flows is known but rate of discount is not. This discount rate is ascertained by trial and error method. This rate of discount so calculated, which equates the PV of cash inflows with PV of cash outflows is known as IRR. Investment =

= + n t t t r c 1 (1 )

(21)

Where ct = cash flow at the end of year t

r = internal rate of return (IRR) n = life of the project

ACCEPT-REJECT CRITERION

The use of the IRR, as a criterion to accept capital investment decisions, involves a comparison of the actual IRR with the required rate of return also known as the cut-off rate or hurdle rate. The project would qualify to be accepted if the IRR(r) exceeds the cut-off rate (k).If the IRR and the required rate of return are equal, the firm is indifferent as to whether to accept or reject the project.

Accept if IRR > k

Reject if IRR < k

Project may be accepted if IRR = k

Profitability Index (PI) or Benefit-Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio)

Yet another time-adjusted capital budgeting technique is profitability index (PI) or benefit cost ratio (B/C RATIO) .It is similar to NPV approach. The profitability index approach measures the present value of returns per rupee invested, while the NPV is based on the difference between the present value of future cash inflows and the present value of cash outlays. A major short coming of the NPV method is that, being an absolute measure, it is not a reliable method to evaluate projects requiring different initial investments. The PI method provides a solution to this type of problem. It is, in other words, a

(22)

• PI>1 (ACCEPT)

• PI<1 (REJECT)

• PI=1 (INDIFFERENT)

relative measure. It may be defined as the ratio which is obtained by dividing the present value of future cash inflows by the present value of the cash outlays.

Symbolically,

PI = Present value of cash inflows

Present value of cash outflows

This method is also called as benefit cost ratio because the numerator measures benefit and the denominator cost. More appropriate description would be present value index.

ACCEPT-REJECT CRITERION

Using the B/C ratio or the PI, a project will qualify for acceptance if its PI exceeds one. When PI equals 1; the firm is indifferent to the project.

When PI is greater than, equal to or less than 1, the net present value is greater than, equal to or less then zero respectively. I n other words, the NPV will be positive when the PI is greater than 1; will be negative when the PI is less then one. Thus, the NPV and PI approaches give the same result regarding the investment proposals. (I.M.Pandey 2005, p143-152)

OBJECTIVES OF THE

STUDY

The main objectives of the study are:

To study the CAPITAL BUDGETING process in Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd.

To analyze and assess the financial viability of the investment proposal using the traditional and modern techniques.

NEED FOR STUDY

The study is being conducted for the purpose of a budget is an accounting plan, a forecast of activities of an enterprise in a forthcoming period. It is a formal plan of action in monetary terms. A quantitative monetary expression of future activities. It is a Management Plan what it proposes to do in the next Financial Period usually a Year. It is a Quantified Plan for future activities. Quantitative Blue Prints of Action. A Budget is effectively used for Control purposes. Control involves the Evaluation of Performance through comparison of Actual results with the plan and using the feedback either, to take corrective action or to modify the plan. A Budget sets the targets for each Functional Area and thus, provides a unique tool to Managers for effectively carrying out their control function

(24)

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the present study includes the following:

• Understanding the importance of capital budgeting in Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd

• Evaluating an investment proposal of setting up facility at Dr. Reddy’s

Laboratories Ltd for manufacturing NEW DRUG 30 for supplies directly from bulk units.

. The

company:-DR. REDDY’S LABORATORIES LTD WAS FOUNDED BY DR ANJI REDDY, AN ENTREPRENEUR-SCIENTIST, IN 1984. THE DNA OF THE COMPANY IS DRAWN FROM ITS FOUNDER AND HIS VISION TO ESTABLISH INDIA’S FIRST DISCOVERY LED GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY. IN FACT, IT IS THIS SPIRIT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP THAT HAS SHAPED THE COMPANY TO BECOME WHAT IT IS TODAY.DR ANJI REDDY, HAVING MOVED OUT OF STANDARD ORGANICS LIMITED, A COMPANY HE HAD SUCCESSFULLY CO-FOUNDED, STARTED DR. REDDY’S LABORATORIES LTD WITH $ 40,000 IN CASH AND $120,000 IN BANK LOAN! TODAY, THE COMPANY WITH REVENUES OF RS.2, 427 CRORE (US $546 MILLION), AS OF FISCAL YEAR 2006, IS INDIA’S SECOND LARGEST PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY AND THE YOUNGEST AMONG ITS PEER GROUP.

THE COMPANY HAS SEVERAL DISTINCTIONS TO ITS CREDIT. BEING THE FIRST PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY FROM ASIA PACIFIC (OUTSIDE JAPAN) TO BE LISTED ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE (ON APRIL 11, 2001) IS ONLY ONE AMONG THEM. AND AS ALWAYS, DR. REDDY’S CHOSE TO DO IT IN THE MOST DIFFICULT OF CIRCUMSTANCES AGAINST WIDESPREAD SKEPTICISM. DR. REDDY’S CAME UP TRUMPS NOT ONLY HAVING ITS STOCK OVERSUBSCRIBED BUT ALSO BECOMING THE BEST PERFORMING IPO THAT YEAR.

Dr. Anji Reddy is well known for his passion for research and drug discovery. Dr. Reddy’s started its drug discovery programme in 1993 and within three years it achieved its first breakthrough by out licensing an anti-diabetes molecule to Novo Nordisk in March 1997. With this very small but significant step, the Indian industry went through a paradigm shift in its image from being known as just ‘copycats’ to ‘innovators’! Through its success, Dr. Reddy’s pioneered drug discovery in India. There are several such inflection points in the company’s evolution from a bulk drug (API) manufacturer into a vertically integrated global pharmaceutical company today.

Today, the company manufactures and markets API (Bulk Actives), Finished Dosages and Biologics in over 100 countries worldwide, in addition to having a very promising Drug Discovery Pipeline. When Dr. Reddy’s started its first

(27)

big move in 1986 from manufacturing and marketing bulk actives to the domestic (Indian) market to manufacturing and exporting difficult-to-manufacture bulk actives such as Methyldopa to highly regulated overseas markets, it had to not only overcome regulatory and legal hurdles but also battle deeply entrenched mind-set issues of Indian Pharma being seen as producers of 'cheap' and therefore ‘low quality’ pharmaceuticals. Today, the Indian pharma industry, in stark contrast, is known globally for its proven high quality-low cost advantage in delivering safe and effective pharmaceuticals. This transition, a tough and often-perilous one, was made possible thanks to the pioneering efforts of companies such as Dr. Reddy’s.

Today, Dr. Reddy’s continues its journey. Leveraging on its ‘Low Cost, High Intellect’ advantage. Foraying into new markets and new businesses. Taking on new challenges and growing stronger and more capable. Each failure and each success renewing the sense of purpose and helping the company evolve. With over 950 scientists working across the globe, around the clock, the company continues its relentless march forward to discover and deliver a breakthrough medicine to address an unmet medical need and make a difference to peoples lives worldwide. And when it does that, it would only be the beginning and yet it would be the most important step. As Lao Tzu wrote a long time ago, ‘Even a 1000 mile journey starts with a single step.’

Business

Dr. Reddy's is a vertically integrated, global pharmaceutical company with proven research capabilities and presence across the pharmaceutical value

(28)

chain. We manufacture Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Finished Dosage forms and market them globally, with a focus on United States, Europe, India and Russia. In addition, the drug discovery arm of the company conducts basic research in the areas of diabetes, cardiovascular, inflammation and bacterial infection.

Board of Directors

Dr. Reddy's has a board comprising of eminent individuals from diverse fields. The board acts with autonomy and independence in exercising strategic supervision, discharging its fiduciary responsibilities, and in ensuring that the management observes the highest standards of ethics, transparency and disclosure.

Our Directors are experts in the diversified fields of medicine, chemistry and medical research, human resource development, business strategy, finance and economics. They review all information relating to significant business decisions, including strategic and regulatory matters. Every member of the board, including the non-executive directors, has full access to any

information related to the company.

Committees appointed by the board focus on specific areas, and take decisions within the authority delegated to them by the board. The committees also make specific recommendations to the board on various matters from time-to-time.

(29)

Corporate Governance

Dr. Reddy's long-standing commitment to high standards of corporate governance and ethical business practices is a fundamental shared value of its Board of Directors, management and employees. The Company's philosophy of corporate governance stems from its belief that timely disclosures, transparent accounting policies, and a strong and independent Board go a long way in preserving shareholders trust while maximizing long-term shareholder value.

Good corporate governance flows out of the commitment of the Management and the Board of Directors. When the commitment is backed by the fundamental beliefs of maximizing value for stakeholders; transparent actions in the business; values of a corporate; and mutual trust amongst all constituents of the business, the organization transforms itself into a higher plane of leadership.

The forward-looking approach of Dr. Reddy's has always helped it, in achieving the desired results. This approach has transformed the company's culture to one that is relentlessly focused on the speedy translation of scientific discoveries into innovative products. Dr. Reddy's commitment towards Corporate Governance started well before law mandated such practices.

The company has identified and established its core purpose, mission and core values for achieving corporate excellence. Dr. Reddy's believes in crafting an environment where the parameters of conduct and behavior of the

(30)

company and its management is constantly aligned with the business environment. The highlights of Dr. Reddy's Corporate Governance systems are an independent Board of Directors following international practices, committed management team, internal control systems and dissemination of information to various stakeholders.

SUMMARY

&

(49)

Summary

The Project Report is based on the Capital Budgeting DR. REDDY’S LABORATORIES LTD. The profile of the Company given briefly is collected from the official website of the DR. REDDY’S LABORATORIES LTD & brochures and the introduction, literature review on topic Capital Budgeting is text based. The Capital Budgeting procedure at DR.REDDY’S is studied and the same is applied with respect to the Pay back period, average rate of return, net present value, profitability index and internal rate of return, calculated and analyzed. Various tables and charts have been shown in order to compare the increase or decrease of profitability of the project. Capital Budgeting is an extremely important aspect of a firm's financial management. Although capital assets usually comprise a smaller percentage of a firm's total assets than do current assets, capital assets are long-term. Therefore, a firm that makes a mistake in its capital budgeting process has to live with that mistake for a long period of time.
