The automobile and information technology (IT) sectors play a vital role in the Indian economy, though they operate with distinct structures—automobile being capital-intensive and IT being knowledge-driven. This study compares the financial performance of selected companies from both sectors for the period 2020–2024 using key indicators such as profitability, liquidity, solvency, efficiency, and market valuation. A quantitative, descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, relying on secondary data from annual reports and financial databases. Ratio analysis, trend analysis, and statistical tools including t-tests and ANOVA were applied. Findings indicate that IT companies, particularly TCS and Infosys, exhibit stronger liquidity and financial stability, while automobile firms such as Tata Motors show higher volatility in profitability and solvency. Efficiency analysis highlights strengths in both sectors, with Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto excelling in asset utilization and Tech Mahindra and Infosys leading in efficiency ratios. Despite sectoral variations, ANOVA results show no statistically significant differences between the two sectors. The study provides useful insights for investors and policymakers in understanding sectoral strengths and challenges.
