A Study on Fixed Asset Management of TATA Motors

●                This project on Fixed Asset Management of Tata Motors provides a comprehensive view of how the company has managed its capital investments, operational expenses, and overall asset efficiency from FY 2021 to FY 2025. The analysis highlights a strategic shift from heavy capital spending to a more optimized and controlled asset management approach, especially visible in the reduced acquisition costs and stabilized depreciation. ●                However, the consistent rise in operating and maintenance costs signals a need for better cost control strategies and increased efficiency in resource utilization. Tata Motors has shown improvements in financing cost management, which reflects better debt planning and financial discipline. ●                Through this study, it becomes evident that adopting a full LCC approach helps Tata Motors not only in controlling costs but also in making smarter, long-term investment decisions. Implementing predictive maintenance, digital asset tracking, and sustainability-focused asset strategies will further strengthen its performance in the years to come. ●                Overall, Life Cycle Costing proves to be a valuable tool for long-term planning, helping Tata Motors balance cost, performance, and profitability in a competitive and dynamic automotive industry
