Compulsion to evaluate the financial strength of firm is a significant aspect for both Internal and External stakeholders, especially creditors.

Automobile industry has been classified into four categories based on products namely Passenger car, commercial vehicles, motorcycle/ mopeds and scooters & 3-wheelers manufacturers. The Altman Z score model developed for manufacturing firms has been applied for ten years (2007 to 2016) during which period features Automotive Mission Plan framed by Government of India. The study reveals that commercial vehicle manufactures are in intermediate area of financial distress and calls for agile action.
