Hi,

DCF projections are juggleries on the excel sheet ..the methid involves the following

1) Estimate future revenues/PAT/EPS based on historicals, ARs, 20 Fs, analyst reports, industry reports for "N" years.
2) Build up PnL, B/S
3) The trick is to get the right assumptions goin for growth
4) Get a discount rate to discount the estimated future revenues to arrive at the present value. The discount rate is a funtion of the Rf (risk free rate..lets say 10 yr GOI..current hovering at around 8%)
5) Divide the cumulative PV of your PAT for "N" years by the number of shares (assuming no equity dilution).
6) And voila u have the target price

The trcik here is to get your assumptions precise..so knowlede of the indsutry in which the enterprise is operating becomes important here.

ciao
Gaurav
