Limitation of study
The data for the project is collected mainly through secondary sources. It is not
sure that the data is accurate and complete.
The concept of fundamental analysis is totally new for me more ever this subject
is very broad.
Information is windows dressed up. So it is difficult to obtain actual required
data for the completion of the project.
Time period collected for the project was high and tough. Due to time limitation
it may be possible that some of the data left out.
The time available was very less, so fundamental analysis has been done only
Five companies. This may lead misinterpretation of industry, as there are many
companies in cement industry
