The showroom segment includes the purchase and sales of new Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. vehicles. The services and spares segment includes servicing and spares parts sale of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Valuation
The market cap is around 30 crores and has 16 crores in cash (net current assets minus long term liabilities) so essentially it is trading at 14 crores. the company pays direct taxes of around 30 percent of the profits. The company has been consistently generating cash flow and the avg cash flow for the past five years has been around 5 crores and this year the company has generated free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) of around 5 crores. So one get the business at 2-3 times free cash flow. The promoters hold around 70% of the total shares outstanding. however one cause of concern is that the company has 16 crores of contingent liablities which are letter of credit obtained from banks.

Add to list is HB portfolio Ltd.

It is compelling value buy at current level.company has total investment Stock(185) + MF(10 ) + Unquoted(39) = 234 crores. and company is also having Net Current Asset around 47 crores (including 14cr cash) on consolidated balance sheet . So on market cap of 60, we are getting company ,which has investment 234 + Net Current Asset 47 = 271 crores and fixed asset extra.
