TCIL is a tinplate manufacturing company established in 1922 in India. It operates in four segments: batteries, bottle crowns, edible oil, and processed food. The document analyzes the decision making process for the edible oil and processed food segments. It finds that the processed food segment has higher profit margins, requires higher quality prime grade tinplate that TCIL produces, and is in an industry with high growth. Therefore, the document recommends that TCIL should concentrate on the processed food segment.
