INTRODUCTION: Capital structure is the combination of debt and equity, which is the overall cost of capital. The proportion of this equity and debt to the total capital is decided by the company according to the financial position and ability to raise such capital.The decision regarding the capital structure is very important because it affects the earnings per share or wealth of the shareholders. The modern theory of capital structure is there is no universal theory of the debt--equity choice, and no reason to expect one. Many proven theories about capital structure help us to understand about the debt equity mix that the firms choose. These are either predict the existence of the optimal debt-equity ratio for each firm or they declare that there is no well-defined target capital structure. Factors which influences Capital Structure:
Business Risk: Excluding debt, business risk is the basic risk of the company's operations. The greater the business risk, the lower the optimal debt ratio.
Company's Tax Exposure: Debt/Loan payments are tax deductible. As such, if a company's tax rate is high, using debt as a means of financing a project is attractive because the tax deductibility of the debt payments protects some income from taxes. Therefore debts form to be the cheaper source of capital.
Financial Flexibility: This is essentially the firm's ability to raise capital in bad times. In a company's strong cash flow in the good times, raising capital is not as hard. The lower a company's debt level, the more financial flexibility a company has. A company which is too debt ridden may not be in a position to raise its capital as debt.
Management Style: Management styles range from aggressive too conservative. The more conservative a management's approach is, the less inclined it is to use debt to increase profits. An aggressive management may try to grow the firm quickly, using significant amounts of debt to ramp up the growth of the company's earnings per share (EPS).
Growth Rate: Firms that are in the growth stage of their cycle typically finance that growth through debt, borrowing money to grow faster. More stable and mature firms typically need less debt to finance growth as its revenues are stable and proven. These firms also generate cash flow, which can be used to finance projects when they arise.
Market Conditions: Market conditions can have a significant impact on a company's
capital-structure condition. Suppose a firm needs to borrow funds for a new plant. If the

The cost of debt (Kd), cost of equity (Ke) and WACC (Ko) is represented in the above table. (WACC (Ko) is calculated as (D/ (D+E)) Kd + (E/ (D+E)) Ke) From the above table the cost of debt is decreasing throughout the period. Because the profit of the company is raised. Since the company has been able to decrease its interest expense there by reducing the cost of debt. The cost of equity of Tata Motors Limited is very high in the year 2004-05 as the company was making profits and the net worth was increasing but the cost of equity reduced and is 1.57 in the year 2012-13 because the company had suffered some losses and the cost of equity has reduced.

ROI = PAT /Total assets
(Total asset is calculated as Net fixed assets + Net Working capital.)
Return on Investment (ROI) must be greater than the cost of debt to reap benefit of trading on equity. Comparing the return on investments (ROI) and cost of debt, it is observed that ROI is always less than the cost of debt. Throughout the period the return on investment is very low. The ROI does not support trading on equity as cost of debt is higher and equity holders are not benefited out of this.

tune of Rs 2465 crores. There is decline in Dividend Payout Ratio in 2010 but Dividend Ration has increased in the same year.

Conclusion Debt capital has decreased from the year 2010-2011 because of debt repayments and debt swapping. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the company fluctuated over years. It is very high in the financial year 2003-04 because of huge losses and reduction in net worth. This has led to an increase in debt capital. The WACC of the company started decreasing from the 2004-05 because the company towards the way of cost effectiveness. The debt ratio and debt equity ratio of the company are very low suggesting that low amount of debt in the capital structure. It had reduced the owners fund and confidence as the risk of the equity holders increase with an increase in loans. The company has obtained fixed charges of funds more than that of return on assets which has lowered all the ROE, ROI, EPS etc. The Value of the firm is also positively correlated with its ROE, Value of debt and equity. The value of the company is increased over years because of the investment decisions of the company that are reflected from the EBIT as well as the low cost of capital due to balanced capital structure. Since it has an optimal capital structure it will have positive effect in its future business.
