financial performance of many acquisitions in the electric power sector.
These changes in the environment have led to a cautious approach by developers and it’s
harder to get off the new projects from the ground. Some countries have modified their
plans because of the change in restructuring electricity market and reforms.
The total worldwide order of booking has been lowered leading to aggressive
marketing by major global power plant equipment manufacturing players, who have been
undergoing a phase of consolidation.
Though there has been a decrease in overall orders in the recent times, many
developing nations are planning to expand their electricity infrastructure for the
forthcoming years.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Working capital management is concerned with the decisions which are related with
the current assets and the current liabilities. It means, it concerned with day-to-day
management activities.
The key factor, which is used to differentiate long term financial management and
short- term financial management, is the timing of cash.
Long- term financial decisions by buying capital equipment or issuing debentures,
involve cash which flows over an extended period of time.
But a short time financial decision mainly involves the cash flow within a year, or
with in the operating cycle of the firm.
2.2 CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The two concepts of working capital are
1. Gross working capital
It refers to the investment made by the company in current assets. Current assets are
the assets which can be converted into cash with an accounting year or operating cycle. It
also includes cash, short-term securities, debtors, bills receivable and stock.
2. Net working capital
The difference between current assets and current is called the net working capital.
Current liabilities are the one which is claimed from the outsiders and are expected to be
returned within an accounting year. It includes creditors, bills payable, and out siding
expenses.
Net working capital may be positive or negative. A net working capital becomes
positive only when the current assets exceed current liabilities. A negative net working
capital occurs when current liabilities exceed current assets.
2.3 TWO DANGEROUS POINTS OF CURRENT ASSETS
2.3.1 Danger of inadequate working capital
1. Inadequate working capital will lead to a condition, in which one cannot pay its
short-term liabilities in time. So there arises a situation where there is a loss of reputation
and tight credit terms.
2. The organization’s requirements cannot be fulfilled in bulk; hence it cannot take
the advantage of cash discounts.
3. Difficulties will arise in meeting the day-to-day expenses. This will lead to
inefficiency and increase in costs with the minimum profits.
4. Lack of working capital will lead to less favorable marketing conditions and less
profitable projects.
5. Due to scarcity of working capital, fixed assets are not properly utilized. Thus
this results in the fall of investments return.
2.3.2 Danger of Excessive Working Capital
1. Excessive working capital will lead to low investments in fixed assets. Hence
there will be no profits for the business and there can be no proper rote of return on its
investments.
2. The low rate of return on investment will lead to the fall in the value of shares.
3. Excessive working capital will lead to unnecessary purchasing and excessive
amount of inventories. As a result, there are chances of theft and loses.
4. Excessive debtors and defective credit policy are the indication of excessive
working capital. There may be delay in collection and increased incidence of bad debts.
5. Excessive working capital will make the management complacent. This will lead
to overall inefficiency in the organization.
2.4 NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Beyond the limit, both the current assets i.e., inadequate working capital and
excessive working capital are dangerous. Beyond the limitations of both the level, the
common goal of the organization cannot be achieved.
Working capital Management provides effective and efficient decision to allocate
the current assets.
2.5 TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL
The two types of working capital are,
1. Permanent working capital.
2. Temporary working capital.
2.5.1 Permanent Working Capital
As the operating cycle is a continuous process, the need for current assets is felt
constantly. The Magnitude of the current assets need not to be the same. It may increase or
decrease over the time.
However, there is a minimum level of current assets which are continuously
required by the firm to continue its business operations. This minimum level of the current
assets is known as permanent or fixed working capital. However the permanent working
capital line needs not to be horizontal.
2.5.2 Temporary working capital
On the other hand, when there is a slack period in the market, the investment made
on the inventories and account receivable will be low.
The change of the extra working capital used to support the production and sales, is
known as fluctuating or variable or temporary working capitals.
When the company has a peak period of sales, it will have large amount of
inventories, when compared to their normal sales. This makes the costumers to invest
money for credit sales.
2.6 RATIO ANALYSIS

statements through ratios. Now a day it is used by all the business and industrial concerns
in their financial analysis.
