Steel Industry in India
The efforts to develop the steel industry in India started during the first five year plan but the real
developments started happening from 1980s onwards. Although the Indian steel industry increased
its production, in the nineties India imported huge quantity of steel to meet the growing demand ofsteel in the country. This scenario was totally changed in 2004 when India stood at the ninth
position in terms of crude steel production in the whole world and in 2006, India was at the seventh
place among the crude steel producing companies.
There are different factors that are responsible for this development. Firstly,
the Indian government has taken some reformatory steps that have helped the Indian steel industry
to grow at a good pace. The Indian government has set a target to increase the crude steel
production and till 2019-20, the Indian steel industry is expected to produce nearly 110 million
tones of crude steel.
The production of flat products and long products of major Indian companies is estimated to have
grown by around 12% and 8% respectively during the financial year 2009-10 when compared with
the previous financial year. While the long products exports were almost at the same level as that in
the last year, flat products exports dipped by around 30% on account of the global slowdown. The
imports on the other hand were higher for both flat products as well as long products by around
17% and 35% respectively as the flat products and long products segments experienced around
23% and 9% increase in steel consumption. In line with the fiscal stimulus package announced in
the country, the Government of India removed export duty on all steel items, reintroduced import

Working Capital Management-Comparative Analysis
duty of 5% on steel, restored DEPB benefits, reduced excise duty to 8% for major part of the year,
placed import of hot rolled coils on the restricted list thus making them available to direct users
only and withdrew countervailing duty on import of Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars and
structural. In order to ensure adequacy of availability of iron ore in domestic market, export duty on
iron ore lumps has been increased from 5% to 10% and a 5% export duty has been imposed on iron
ore fines to regulate the exports. The steel prices during the financial year 2009-10 have increased
from the level prevailing in the quarter ended March 2009 driven primarily by the increase in the
prices of input raw materials during the same period.
UK and European Steel Industry
In the EU, the apparent steel consumption dropped by around 35% during 2009. There was a
decline of around 45% during the first half of 2009 driven by extremely weak activity in the steel
using sectors and continuing sharp de-stocking. With the unprecedented drop in the activity levels,
the production during 2009 reduced by around 20% over 2008 with sharp reduction experienced
particularly during the first half of the year. The market downturn began to level out in the second
half of the year as business conditions began to improve slowly, supported by government stimulus
measures and improvements in international trade. With imports dropping by around 47% as
compared to 2008, stable and low level of
stocks through the supply chain and reduced levels of domestic steel business, the EU steel market
supply and demand became much better balanced by the quarter ending December 2009. The
exports
during 2009 are estimated to have reduced by around 9% and the EU was a net exporter in long
products.
South East Asian Steel Industry
Preliminary assessment suggests that the steel consumption in the Association of South East Asian
Nations (ASEAN) picked up significantly in the second half of 2009. However, the increase was
not sufficient to offset the sharp drop in the consumption in the first half of the year. As a result, the
ASEAN apparent steel demand for 2009 is around 42.3 million tones which is 8% lower than the
last year.

Working Capital Management-Comparative Analysis
Production of flat products and long products during the year was stable at around 24.4 million
tones. However imports and exports dropped significantly. Total imports reduced from 30 million
tons in 2008 to 19.7 million tones in 2009 and exports dropped by 50% from 8 million tons in 2008
to 4 million tons in 2009.
Consumption of Long Products recorded at 20.1 million tons in 2009, reduced by 4% as compared
to 2008. The production declined to 16.4 million tons while exports dropped to 5.9 million tones.
The demand for long products seemed to pick up fast and at 11.8 million tones in the second half of
2009, was close to the pre-crisis levels resulting in domestic producers benefitting from the demand
growth.

H ISTORY OF TATA STEEL
Formerly known as Tata Iron and Steel Ltd. (TISCO), TATA
STEEL was registered in Bombay( now Mumbai) on August
26, 1907.It had an initial capacity of 1,60,000 tones of ingot
steel,70,000 tones of rails, beams and shapes and 20,000
tones of bars, hoops and rods. It also had a power house,auxiliary facilities and a laboratory. In 1917, the company
increased its steel Capacity to 5,00,000 tonnes and
introduced the Modern Duplex process of making steel. Since the company has
continued to add new units and increase capacity.
In the 1980s the company undertook in various phases an ambitious
Modernization Programme.The first phase, betwee1981and1985, involved a
total project cost of Rs 223 crores. This phase, among others saw the installation
of two 130 tonne LD converters, two 250 tonne a day Oxygen Plants, a bar forgingmachine, two vertical twin shaft lime kilns and a tar-dolo brick plant. Significantly,
a six-strand billet caster and a 130-tonne vacuum arc-refining unit were installed
that too in the integrated steel plant.
The second phase (1985-1992) involved a project cost ofRs780crores.
It saw for the first time in India coal injection in blast furnace and coke oven
battery with 54 ovens using stamp-charging technology. A 0.3 MTPA 9million
tonne per annum) wire rod mill, a 2.5mtpa sinter plant, a bedding and blending
plant and a waste recycling plant of 1 MTPA were installed.
The company recently commissioned its 1.2MT (million tone) capacity
Cold rolling Mill Complex .At a project cost of Rs 1600 crores. This Four-Phase
Modernization Programmed has enabled Tata steel to be equipped with the most
modern steel- making facilities in the world. As of today The Tata steel facility has
a Hot Metal Capacity of 3.8MTPA, corresponding to a saleable steel Capacity of
3.4 MTPA.
In 2005 Tata Steel acquired Singapore based steel company Nat Steel
by subscribing to 100per cent equity of its subsidiary, NatSteel Asia. Tata Steel israpidly expanding capacity and plans to produce 15MT of steel annually by
-

2010.It acquired Singapores NatSteel in August 2004. This has added 2 MT to its
capacity. It is close to completing a 1 MT capacity expansion in its Jamshedpur
plant. The expansion is scheduled to be completed by September 2005. In
addition a 6 MT green field plant is to be developed in Kalinganagar, Orissa, India
(to be commissioned in 2010) and another 2.4 MT capacity expansion will be
taken up in Jamshedpur. After partnership with Corus Group, the combined entity
will be the 6th largest steel producer and the 2nd most geographically diversified
steel company in the World.
F OUNDERS OF TATA STEEL
Jamsedji Nusserwanji Tata (1839 1904)He was a visionary behind Tata Steel .He realized that Indias real
freedom depended upon its self-sufficiency in scientific knowledge,
power and steel, thus devoted the major part of his life, and his
fortune to three great enterprises-The Indiani nstitute of Science
at Bangalore, the Hydro-electric schemes and the Iron & Steel
Works at Jamshedpur .He envisaged and conceived a steel town
to the very last detail, later to be named as Jamshedpur.
J.N. Tata had exhorted to his sons to pursue and develop his lifes work ; his elder
son, Sir Dorabji Tata(1859-1933) carried out the bequest with scrupulous zeal and
distinction .Thus , even though it was Jamshedji Tata who had envisioned the
mammoth projects, it was in fact Dorabji Tata who actually brought the ventures
to existence and fruition. He was the first chairman of the gigantic Tata
enterprises.
It was in 1907 that the village of Sakchi was discovered at the confluence of two
rivers, Subarnarekha and Kharkhai and the railways station of kalimati .The Tata
Iron and Steel Company was floated.

Tata who actually brought the ventures to existence and fruition. He was the first
chairman of the gigantic Tata enterprises.
Bharat Ratna Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhai Tata (1904 1993)
J.R.D.Tata has been one of the greatest builders and
personalities of modern India in the twentieth century.
He assumed Chairmanship of Tata Steel at the young age of
34, but his charismatic, disciplined and forward looking
leadership over the next 50 years led the Tata Group to new
height of achievement, expansion and modernization.
His style of management was to pick the best person for the
job at
hand and let him have the latitude to carry out the job. He
was never interested for Micro- Management. It was he who zeroed in on Sumant
Moolgaokar, the engineering genius who successfully steered our company for
many years. He was a visionary whose thinking was far ahead of his time, which
helped Tata Group launching its own Airlines ,now known as as Air India. He was
awarded the countrys highest civilian honour, The Bharat Ratna in 1992.
RATAN NAVAL TATA
Ratan Navel Tata was born on December 28, 1937, in Surat. He is thepresent Chairman of Tata Group, Indias largest conglomerate founded by
jamshedji Tata and consolidated and expanded by later generation of his family.
He is one of the most well known and respected industrialists in India.Tata was born into wealthy and famous family of Mumbai. His childhood was
troubled as his parents separated in the mid 1940s, when he was about seven
and his younger brother was five. His mother moved out and both he and his
brother were raised by his grandmother Lady Navarjbai.
Ratan Tata completed his degree in architecture with structural engineering from
Cornell University in 1962, and the Advance management Program from Harvard
Business School in 1975. He joined the Tata Group in December 1962 on the
advice of JRD Tata. He was first sent to Jamshedpur to work at Tata steel. He
worked on the floor with the other blue collar employees, shoveling limestone

and handling the blast furnaces. He was appointed the Director In Charge of The
National Radio & Electronics Company Limited (Nelco) in 1971 and was successful
in turning Nelco around.
IN 1981, he became the chairmen of Tata industries and was instrumental in
ushering in a wide array of reforms. It was under his stewardship that Tata
consultancy services went public and Tata Motors was listed in the New Yorkstock Exchange.
On the occasion of Indias 58th Republic day on 26 January, 2000, Ratan Tata was
honoured with the padma Bhushan, the third highest decoration that might be
awarded to a civilian.
His recent achievements have been the acquisition of Corus Group, and Anglo-
Dutch steel and aluminium producer. This acquisition has made Tata steel the
fifth largest producer of steel in the world.

Performance after global economic downturn
Following two years of the worst global economic downturn, The growth rates in the economies of the
developed world are still extremely moderate, while countries in the developing world have registered
high levels of economic growth and some have become new centres of global capacity, demand and
control over natural resources. In 2025, it is forecast that the BRIC countries will have 42% of the
global population, will consume 60% of the global production and will have 70% of the global GDP.

The steel industry has also been impacted by these global shifts. The requirement of steel is growing in
Asia, where downstream user industries are experiencing high demand, whereas the markets for steel
in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe have remained depressed.
Through these difficult times, Tata Steel has struggled to
adhere to its long-term strategies, both in India and overseas.
There has nevertheless been need to re-schedule and re-
prioritise investment strategies in consonance with market
conditions during this period. In India, the Company has
given top priority to the 2.9 million tone expansion
programme at its Jamshedpur Works and its major
greenfield 6 million tonne integrated steel plant in Orissa.
Tata Steel Asia has steelmaking and finishing facilities in
various Asian countries (including India) aggregating 10.5
million tonnes. Equal importance has been given to rawmaterial security through the acquisition of iron ore and coal
resources overseas to feed its UK and European plants,
while rationalising capacities to make them viable in this
period of slack demand.
While Tata Steels Indian operations have remained
profitable, albeit at a lower level than the previous year, Tata Steels European operations remained
underutilised and hence unprofitable. However, with the rationalisation, the European operations have
become
EBITDA positive for the last two quarters of 2009-10. The benefits of the rationalization will of
course be more evident in 2010-11.
In the coming years, Tata Steel expects to emerge as a global steel producer with a total annual output
of between 40-50 million tonnes, with major manufacturing plants in India, several countries in Asia,
the UK and Continental Europe, supported by integrated mining operations in several geographies.

W ORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
INRTODUCTION:
Working Capital means current asstes. A Firm need money to pay for their day to
day expenses that is, salaries,bills,suppliers etc. Managing the working capital
needs, of the organization is very important because of shortage of fund may

are two concepts of working capital:- Gross Working Capital and Net working
capital. Gross Working Capital means current assets that is inventory, debtors,

Interpretation
In 2009-10, net working capital increased by 202.48% compared to previous year. It is because of
increase in cash and bank balances and loans and advances in current assets side. But there is no
significant increase in current liability side. Also Tata steel reduced the proposed dividend to Rs.
709.77 Cr. from Rs. 1,278.40 Cr. of Previous Year.
During FY 10, inventory decreased by 14% compared to FY 09. Purchase of finished and semi-
finished products was much lower compared to previous year as requirements of Agrico and Wires
Division were fully met from steel works in the FY 10 as against partial purchases from outside

suppliers/imports in the previous year. Non purchase of sponge iron also contributed to lower value of
purchase of finished and semi-finished products.
While the stock of stores and spares as on 31st March, 2010 remained almost at the same level as on
31st March, 2009, the inventories of finished, semi-finished goods, scrap and raw materials was lower
by 14% than that of last year. The raw materials inventory was also lower due to lower prices of coal
and coke along with lower volume of coke. The raw material Stocks in The Companys Ferro Alloys
& Minerals division was also lower than the last year level.
Debtors as on 31st March, 2010 was lower by 32% as compared to 31st March, 2009 primarily due to
stringent credit control measures and lower exports.
The increase of Rs. 939 cr. in loans and advances represents increase in advance against equity (to
Centennial Steel) and advances to subsidiary companies (to Tata Steel KZN) partly offset by reduction
in the amount receivable against forward covers.

Interpretation
Working capital turnover ratio has been decreased to 28.63 times in 2009-10 compared to 27.76 in
2008-09. Decrease in working capital turnover is because of the increase in net working capital. The
reason for increase in net working capital is the increase in cash and bank balances and loans and
advances.
Reduction in working capital turnover is not a good sign. Tata Steel has a huge increase in working
capital turnover in 2008-09 but could not keep the momentum to FY 10.

STOCK TURNOVER RATIO 6.80 7.63 6.44
Interpretation :
Stock turnover ratio evaluates the efficiency of the firm in managing its inventory. This ratio indicates
the number of times inventory has been converted into sales during the year. Tata Steel shows a
constant increase in stock turnover till 2008-09. Stock turnover of 7.63 is good in terms of liquidity. It
shows the efficient management of inventory. Turnover of 6.44 times in 2009-10 is also a good value
as it is above 6, but it is less than 7.63 .
There is an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the
nature of its business with regard to purchases of inventory and fixed assets and the sale of goods and
services. During the course of our audit, any major weakness has not been observed in such internal
control system.

Debtor turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of firm. In simple words it
indicates the number of times average debtors ( Receivable ) are turned over during year .

AVERAGE DEBTORS 587.56 589.73 535.41
DEBTOR TURNOVER RATIO 33.52 41.23 46.73
Interpretation:-
Debtor turnover ratio indicates the time lag between credit sales and cash collection period. Debtor
turnover ratio of 46.73 times in 2009-10 means Tata Steel collects the cash immediately after giving
the delivery i.e., 7.8 days after the sales on an average. It is a marvelous turnover many companies
dreaming to achieve. It increases the cash balance of the company and keeps the liquidity. Another fact
is, debtor turnover ratio is increasing continuously last 5 years. It is an indication of stringent
collection methods followed by Tata Steel. Also, they keep only a small portion that is around 4% as
provision for bad debts.
CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO :
A short term liquidity measures used to quantify the rate at which a company pays off its
suppliers . Accountsc Creditors turnover ratio is calculated by taking total purchase made from
suppliers and dividing it by the average account payable amount during the same period.
Creditors Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Purchase / Average Creditors

CREDITOR TURNOVER RATIO 1.8 1.86 1.52
(Note*- All purchases are assumed as credit purchase. Iron ore is excluded as it is obtained from
captive mines)
Interpretation :
Payables turnover ratio of Tata Steel is an exceptional case. It is just slightly greater than two times.
This shows that they pay creditors only two times in a year. They manage this turnover for last five
years. It helps them to keep the cash with them for a long period and it can be used for other activities.
The study understands the liquidity strength of Tata Steel when the payables turnover is read along
with debtor turnover. Debtor turnover is around 40 times in a year and payables turnover is only two
times! It clearly shows the competitive advantage Tata Steel has over its suppliers and customers.

Interpretation
From 2008-09, Tata Steel has been reducing the Raw Material Holding Period. It is a clear
indication of efficiency of inventory management techniques Tata Steel follows. RMHP was
reduced from 185 days in 2007-08 to 145 days in 2008-09.
Work in Progress Holding Period (WIPHP) is maintained below 2 days till 2008-09 which is
very good. This shows that there were no stoppages in the production process. Increase in
WIPHP in 2009-10 is because of the increase in work in progress.
Finished Goods Holding Period (FGHP) has been reducing constantly from FY 2006 to 2010.
It is achieved by efficient supply chain management and good relationship with customers and
dealers.
Debtors Collection Period is also decreasing and it has come down to 7.81 days in FY 2010. It
shows the prompt collection policy of Tata Steel from its customers.
Creditors Deferral Period is at 170 days during FY 2010 which implies that company pays the
creditors after 170 days of the purchase. The overall creditors value is Rs 8,521.25 crores
while the purchase per day has also increased to Rs. 23.35 crores.
Net Operating Cycle (NOC) is coming down to 14 days for the past five years. It is because of
the increase in Creditors Deferral Period. Its a positive signal for the company because it
implies
that the cash is available for other uses such as investing in new capital, spending on
equipments and infrastructure, as well as preparing for possible share buybacks down the road.

CU RR EN T R AT IO :A liquidity ratio that measures a companys ability to pay Short term obligations .

CURRENT ASSETS 3,086.54 4,631.64 5,559.52
CURRENT LIABILITIES 4,102.37 7,557.21 7,621.89
CURRENT RATIO 0.75 0.61 0.73
Interpretation :
The interpretations given for working capital turnover ratio suit current ratio also. Because of the
negativity of net working capital, current ratio falls below one. Standard value for current ratio is 2 and
JSW has to take the initiatives to increase the current ratio. Increase in current liabilities is because of
increase in acceptances from subsidiary companies and customers as part of expansion projects.
QUICK RATIO:
An indicator of a companys Short term liquidity . The quick ratio measures a companys ability
to meet its Short term obligations with its most liquid assets . The higher the Quick Ratio, the
better the position of the company .

Interpretation:
Stock turnover ratio of JSW Steel is showing a steady trend at 7. In spite of the increase in inventory
from Rs. 1280 Cr in FY 2007 to Rs. 2318 Cr in FY 2010, they could manage the inventory turnover.
Inventories were physically verified during the year by the management at reasonable intervals, exceptfor inventories lying with third parties where confirmations have been received. As the Companys
inventory of raw materials mostly comprises bulk materials such as coal, coke, pellets etc. requiring
technical expertise for establishing the quality and the quantification thereof, the Company has hired
independent agencies for physical verification of such stocks. The procedures of physical verification
of inventory followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the
Company and the nature of its business. The Company has maintained proper records of its inventories
and no material discrepancies were noticed on physical verification.
DEBTOR TURNOVER RATIO:
Debtor turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of firm. In simple words it
indicates the number of times average debtors (Receivable) are turned over during year.

Interpretation :

58/86
Debtor turnover ratio has shown a steady trend over the last 3 years which shows the companys
efficient policy of collection from customers. At the same time, companys sales and average debtors
have increased drastically. It is a good indicator of companys capacity to increase the sales without
compromising on its collection policies.
PAYABLES TURNOVER RATIO:
A short term liquidity measures used to quantify the rate at which a company pays off its
suppliers . Accounts payable turnover ratio is calculated by taking total purchase made from
suppliers and dividing it by the average account payable amount during the same period .
Payables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Purchase / Average Creditors
Average Creditor = Opening Creditor +Closing Creditor / 2
PARTICULARS 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10
NET CREDIT PURCHASE 6,495.21 9,381.51 11,386.28
AVERAGE CREDITORS 867.89 1,426.58 1,643.39
PAYABLES TURNOVER RATIO 7.48 6.58 6.93
Interpretation :
JSW Steels payables turnover ratio is high as compared industry ratio. During 2008-09 it has come
down to 6.58 which again increased to 6.93. It is mandatory to keep the payables turnover ratio aslower as possible as it will increase the availability of cash for day to day activities. The fact JSW has
a negative working capital for last three years has to be read along with its high payables turnover ratio
which will again reduce its liquidity.

(Note*: Finished goods of 2008-09 excludes Rs. 101.41 Cr which arising out of trial run

Interpretation :
Because of increase in raw material consumption per day, Raw Material Holding Period
(RMHP) has come down to 79 days during FY 2010 from 96 days in FY 2006. It indicates
company applies new inventory management techniques to efficiently utilize its inventory and
reduce the stock of inventory.
Work in Progress Holding Period (WIPHP) is only three days during 2009-10 which is a good
number. But it has increased in last three consecutive years. At the same time they reduce
RMHP, they are not able to reduce WIPHP. The company has to implement some techniques to
reduce WIPHP as they do for raw material.
Finished Goods Holding Period (FGHP) is increasing constantly from FY 2006. It is 16 days
for FY 2010 which is very less and good. It is shown in the profit and loss accounts that the
sales is increasing in every year. Increase in FGHP may be because of increase in sales. If they
can increase sales without increasing finished goods, it would be appreciable.
Debtors Collection Period (DCP) stands at 9 days for last three years which is a good number.
It means that the company gets the payment within 9 days of the credit sales to customers. This
satisfies the liquidity requirements of the company. In spite of the increase in sales, they could
maintain DCP. It shows companys efficient collection policy and its business relationship with
customers.
Creditors Deferral Period (CDP) stands around 50 days for last five years. Even though the
credit purchase has increased in these years, there is no increase in CDP. The company shouldtry to increase CDP as its purchases are increasing. It will increase the availability of cash for
working capital.
During FY 2010, Net Operating Cycle (NOC) has increased to 57 days from 47 days during FY
2009. It is because of decrease in CDP. So the company should increase CDP to reduce NOC.

Interpretation
The graph clearly indicates that the Current Assets of SAIL has increased over the last five years
following a linear trend. The Current Liabilities has also increased but the rate of increase of Current
TLiabilities is less than the increase in Current Assets. Net Working Capital also has increased
consistently over the last five years.
2009-10
During this year inventory has been decreased by 10% compared to previous year. The inventories
decreased mainly on account of reduction in semi/finished inventory by Rs.1157 crore and stores &
spares inventory by Rs.22 crore. However, there was increase in raw material inventoryby Rs.46
crore.The decrease in finished/semi-finished inventories by 20% was dueto decrease in quantity and
valuation rate on account of reduction inboth cost of production or Net Sales Realisation.The stores &
spares inventory was reduced by 1% and raw materialinventory had increased marginally by 2%.
Increase in current liabilities by Rs.3248 crore was mainly on account of increase in sundry creditors
for capital works, advances from customers, security deposits etc. The provisions were decreased by
Rs.3239 crore mainly on account of decrease in provision for gratuity, taxation and wage revision.
. NEW DELHI INSTITUTION OF MANAGEMENT, NEW DELHI.
-
8/6/2019 Tata Steel Pradip
64/86
2008-09
The inventoryhas increased by 47%. Inventories increased mainly on account of increase in
semi/finished inventory by Rs.1,873 crore, raw material inventory by Rs.1,183 crore and stores &
spares inventory by Rs.209 crore. Increase in finished/semi-finished inventories was due to increase in
quantity and valuation rate on account of increase in cost of production and Net Sales Realisation.
Also, the sudden meltdown of world economy during the middle of the year resulted in lower sales and
accumulation of stocks. Increase in stores & spares inventory was partly due to price escalations and
partly due to procurement for major repairs to be carried out in various plants.
Despite increase in sales turnover, there was marginal reduction in net debtors.
Loans and Advances reduced by Rs.258 crore. The reduction was mainly on account of decrease in
advances recoverable from contractors and suppliers, employees, deposits with port trust, excise
authorities, railways, etc.
Increase in current liabilities by Rs.1,312 crore was mainly on account of increase in sundry creditors
for capital works, security deposits etc. The provisions were increased by Rs.2,610 crore mainly onaccountof increase in provision for accrued leave, taxation, wage revision.
2007-08
The inventory has increased by 3% this year. The increase in inventory of finished/semi-finished
products by 12% was on account of valuation at increased cost of production. However, in terms of
number of days of turnover, the inventory of finished/semi-finished products reduced to 32 days as on
31.03.2008 against 33 days as on 31.03.2007. Increase in stores & spares inventory by 10% was due to
price escalations and procurement for major repairs to be carried out in various plants. In terms of
number of days, stores and spares inventory was almost at the same level of 31.03.2007. Raw
materials
inventory was at 37 days consumption as on 31.03.2008 as against 49 days consumption as on
31.03.2007. The increase of Rs. 733 crore in net debtors was mainly on account of increase in
turnover.
In terms of number of days of turnover, the debtors increased from 22 days as on 31.03.2007 to 24
days as on 31.03.2008.
Increase in current liabilities by Rs 1003 crore were mainly on account of increased level of
operations and employees related year-end dues. While there were increase in Provisions on account
of mines afforestation / restoration / closure costs, wage revision, dividend and tax on dividend; overall
increase was marginal due to reduction in provision for gratuity on account of transfer of Rs. 1250
crore to a separate Gratuity Fund constituted during the previous year.

Interpretation :
The interpretations given for working capital turnover ratio suit current ratio also. Because of the
negativity of net working capital, current ratio falls below one. Standard value for current ratio is 2 and
in 2008 to 2009 SAIL is meeting with standard level of 2 , so it is favourable for company but in 2009
to 2010 the ratio is increasing more than standard level to 2.28 so company may face problem to meet
its obligations .
