As per an article in leading financial daily, Tata Motors, that was formerly considered as a quite strong player in developing of future infantry combat vehicle (FICV) might soon face tough time. The company was one of the leading contenders to bag the defence order in this segment. However, the recent regulatory changes, could pose some challenge for the company.

In a recent project, ten companies are in the race for the FICV project including the likes of Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra & Mahindra and Pipavav Defence. The project will be awarded on the basis of commercial assessment, emphasizing on turnover of the company.

Tata Motor's consolidated statements including Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), reported annual revenue of Rs 2636 billion, with profit Rs 139.86 billion for FY15. On this basis, the company emerged as the number one player to bag the order.

However recently, defence ministry specifically stated that annual turnover of the companies having a capital asset in India will only be included. Hence, turnover of Tata Motors JLR (exports) will not be included while evaluating the commercial considerations. On a standalone basis, Tata Motors generated an annual turnover of Rs 381.7 billion and posted a net loss of Rs 47.3 billion. Considering standalone figures, company is positioned at third place behind M&M and L&T.
