INTRODUCTION
Backed by 10 years of experience in steel rolling, PATEL SHANTI STEELS PVT. LTD is the Raichurs 1st steel production unit with an existing annual production of more than 4000 tons per annum. Production started in March-1998, initially, because of unavailability of power. The production was stated by using Generator sets, using Diesel as fuel and continued for initial two years, after that power was available, later generator set were disposed off and regular production continued. Initial years of company raw material were concerned because of recession period 19982001. The company would get raw materials (M.S Billets) from only USP Plant and Jindal Vijaynagar Steel Ltd. But from 2002 onwards the above said materials got comparatively costly and company could not afford to buy from them profitably. Hence it stated buying small T Bars. The company production steel bars has been upgraded by Thermo Mechanical Treatment(TMT) processes to the Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS). The necessary Research and Development facility has been setup and clearance are being obtained. With the BIS upgradation, the company hopes to increase it production to 50% more than the existing level of production.

PRODUCT PROFILE

TMT Steel Bars

TMT BARS

TMT Bars used in diversified construction requirements. Our manufactured Thermo Mechanically Treated Steel Bars exhibit high bendability and re-bendability features due to lower carbon content and higher elongation. Excellent yield and ductility characteristics of our Building TMT Steel Bars make them perfect to use at earthquake zones. TMT Bars are made at our state-of-the-art plant and under the close supervision of frontline engineers and metallurgists. The Construction TMT Bars are passed through a highly controlled in-line process of hardening and tempering during hot rolling. Prior to passing through the finishing stand, Ribbed Bars undergo specially designed water-based cooling systems. The cooling system transforms the outer surface to marten site, while the core remains comparatively hot and austenitic. The composite structure has so formed high yield strength and excellent ductility characteristics.

TMT Bars Features

Excellent Bond Strength The rib pattern of TMT Bars has been specially designed to ensure excellent bounding between the bar and the surrounding concrete. These ribs are uniform and concrete due to cutting by automated machines. Thus the bond strength is 100-200% higher than the M.S Plain Bars and convectional CTD Bars. Excellent Weld Ability TMT Bar has far more superior weld ability than convectional CTD Bars. Due to its low carbon content, it can be butt- welded or lap-welded using ordinary retile coated electrodes of matching strength. Super Bend Ability The tough outer surface and the ductile core of I TMT Bars make it extra high ductile and bendable than reinforcement Steel Bars. Highly Resistant Against Corrosion Our premium product TMT is manufactured by thermo mechanical treatment processes with no tensional residual stresses on the Bars. This results in superior corrosion resistance characteristics than conventional Bars. Dimensional Tolerances Argee Bar confirms to the IS: 1786 standard laid for dimensional tolerances and has section weight generally lower than found on other bars. More Economical Argee manufactured TMT Bars are new generation high strength bars with usable yield strengths in excess than required to meet Fe-415 grade and ARE - 1786 standard. It helps our Argee Bars take higher stress levels, resulting in less consumption of our Steel Bars than other conventional Bars. Thus, it helps in saving the valuable money of our clients and avoiding unnecessary loads on the structure.

PROCESS FLOW CHART FOR PRODUCTION OF STEEL BARS M.S.Ingot Sponge iron and Mild Steel Scrap is fed into induction furnace for melting at the temp of 1550 degree Celsius. Suitable quantity of Ferro Alloys i.e. Ferro Silicon, Ferro manganese aluminum sorts etc are added as per required chemical composition. The melted scrap is tapped from induction furnace to C.I. Moulds for manufacturing M.S. Ingot by bottom

TMT Tempcore Bars The Tempcore process is the best process for the production of high quality rebars because it replaces costly alloy elements like Vanadium and Niobium with low cost raw material. It results in high mechanical properties, excellent weldability, excellent ductility& bendability. It imparts high strength to the bar using the latest technique of Thermo Mechanical Treatment (TMT). Steel billets are heated in a Reheating Furnace and rolled through a sequence of rolling stands, which progressively reduce the billet to the final size and shape of the reinforcing bar. According to Tempcore process, the bar leaving the final stand is submitted to a special heat treatment involving three stages.

Quenching Stage The first stage consists of a drastic water cooling applied to the bar as it leaves the last finishing stand. The efficiency of the water cooling equipment used at this stage has to be as high as to produce a very hard cooling, on the bar surface, faster than the critical rate to form the martensite so as to obtain a surface layer of crude martensite while core remains austenite.

___________________________________________________________________ Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com - 28 -

A STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PATEL SHANTI STEELS


PVT LTD, RAICHUR Tempering Stage In the second stage the bar leaves the water quenching line and is exposed to air. The heat flux from the still hot core reheats the quenched by conduction and the martensite formed in the first stage is thus subjected to selftempering giving a structure called Tempered Martensite which is strong and tough. The core is still austenitic at this stage.

Final Cooling stage The third stage of Atmospheric Cooling occurs on the cooling bed, where the austenitic core is transformed to a ductile ferrite pearlite core. Thus, the final structure consists of a combination of strong outer layer of tempered martensite and a ductile core of ferrite-pearlite.

A STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PATEL SHANTI STEELS


PVT LTD, RAICHUR Theoretical background Introduction

One of the vital aspects of companys financial management is to manage its current assets and the current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained. Working capital management means administration of all aspects of working capital i.e. current assets and current liabilities. Firm has to manage it properly in order to attain its goal of wealth maximization.

Meaning Working capital is that part of total capital which is used for carrying out routine business operations. In simple terms, working capital is the capital with which the business of the company is worked over. Working capital is the lifeblood of business and it is the controlling system of every business firm. The working capital management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets and current liabilities and the interrelationships that exists between them. This tries to evolve how much funds to be invested in each type of current assets and what should be the proportion of long-term funds to short-term funds and which are the sources that are ideal for financing current assets.

Concepts of working capital There are two concepts of working capital, they are; 1. Gross working capital concept 2. Net working capital concept

___________________________________________________________________ Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com - 39 -

A STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PATEL SHANTI STEELS


PVT LTD, RAICHUR Gross working capital concept Gross working capital concept refers to firms investments in its current assets. Current assets are assets, which can be converted into cash within an accounting year (or operational cycle) and includes cash, short-term securities, debtors, bills receivables and inventories. The gross working capital is a financial concept. It is also called as current capital or circulating capital and is represented as sum total of current assets of an enterprise. The gross working capital concept focuses attention on two aspects of current asset management: 1. Optimum investment in current assets 2. Financing of current assets

Net working capital concept Net working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. It may be positive or negative. A positive working capital arises when current assets exceeds current liabilities and a negative working capital occurs when current liabilities exceeds current assets

Net working capital= Current assets-Current liabilities Net working capital is a qualitative concept and it indicates the: 1. Liquidity position of the firm 2. Suggests the extent to which working capital needs may be financed by permanent sources of funds. The current assets of the firm should be sufficiently in excess of current liabilities to constituting a margin for maturing obligations within the ordinary operating cycle of the business. A weak liquidity position poses a threat to the solvency position of the firm and makes it unsafe and unsound. A negative working capital may prove to be harmful for the companys reputation. On the other hand, excessive liquidity is also bad which may lead to mismanagement of current assets. The net working capital concept also covers the question of judicious mix of long-term funds for financing the current assets. Every firm needs a minimum amount of net working capital, which is permanent. Hence a portion of working capital should be financed with the permanent ___________________________________________________________________ Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com - 40 -

A STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PATEL SHANTI STEELS


PVT LTD, RAICHUR sources of funds such as owners capital, debenture, long-term debts, preference capital or retained earnings. Management must therefore decide the extent to which current assets should be financed with long-term sources. Even though both gross and net working capital concepts are the important facets of working capital, there is no precise way to determine the exact of gross or net working capital for every firm. The working capital needs depends upon the business operations of the firm.

Significance of working capital: To fulfill its endeavor to maximize the shareholders wealth, firm has to earn sufficient return from its operations, which needs a successful sales activity. The firm has to invest sufficient funds in current assets to succeed in sales, as the sale do not convert into cash instantaneously because of time gap between the sale of goods and actual receipts in cash. Hence there is a need for working capital in the form of current assets to sustain sales activity during that period. Since cash inflows and cash out flows dont match, firms have to necessarily keep cash or investment in short term liquid securities to fulfill its obligations as and when they become due. The adequate stock of inventory provides a cushion against being out of stock and help as a guard to meet the demand for its products. To be competitive, the firm must sell its products to their customers on credit, which necessitates the holding of accounts receivables therefore an adequate level of working capital is absolutely necessary for the smooth sales activities, which in turn enhance the owners wealth. The working capital need arises for the following purpose: For purchasing raw materials, components and spare parts For paying wages and salaries To incur day-to-day expense and overhead costs like fuel, power and office expense etc. To meet selling costs of packing advertising etc

A. On the basics of Concept :

1. Net Working capital :

This is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Current liabilities are those that are expected to mature within an accounting year and include creditors, bills payable and outstanding expenses. Working Capital Management is no doubt significant for all firms, but its significance is enhanced in cases of small firms. A small firm has more investment in current assets than fixed assets and therefore current assets should be efficiently managed. The working capital needs increase as the firm grows. As sales grow, the firm needs to invest more in debtors and inventories. The finance manager should be aware of such needs and finance them quickly. Current Assets can be financed through long term and short-term sources. The ratio of long term to short-term source will depend on whether the firm is aggressive or conservative. If the firm is aggressive then it will finance a part of its permanent current assets with short-term funds. On the other hand , a conservative firm will finance its permanent assets and also a part of temporary current assets with long- term financing.

RATIO ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION The financial statement of a company contains a lot of information about the financial performance of the company. Financial statements mainly consist of the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Accounts. These statements give the overall picture of the company, but to analyse each aspect of business extensively, financial ratios are used. The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Income are essential, but they are only the starting point for successful financial management. Financial Ratio Analysis derived from Financial Statements analyses the success, failure, and progress of business.

Ratio Analysis is a very powerful analytical tool useful for measuring the performance of an organization. The ratio analysis concentrates on the interrelationship among the figures appearing in the mentioned financial statements. The ratio analysis helps the management to analyze the past performance of the firm and to make further projections.

Note: we have used the ratio analysis in this project in order to substantiate the managing of working capital. For this, we used some of the ratios to get the required output.

Various working capital ratios used by me are as follows: Liquidity ratios Turnover/activity ratios

PVT LTD, RAICHUR I. Liquidity Ratio Liquidity ratio measures the ability of the firm to meet its current obligation (liabilities). In fact analysis of liquidity needs the preparation of cash budget and cash and fund flow statement but liquidity ratio, by establishing a relationship between cash and other current asset to current obligation, to provide a quick measure of liquidity. A firm should ensure that it doesnt suffer lack of liquidity and also that it dose not have excess liquidity. The common liquidity ratios are:1. Current Ratio Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between quick or liquid asset and current liabilities. This is a measure of general liquidity & is most widely used to make analysis of shortturn financial position or liquidity of firm. It is calculated by dividing the total current assets by total current liabilities.

Current Ratio=

2. Quick Ratio/Acid Test Ratio Quick ratio establishes relationship between quick or liquid assets & current liabilities. It is also known as acid test ratio. An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into case within short period of time without loss of value. The prepaid expenses and stock were excluded. Quick ratio = Quick asset Current Liabilities

3. Absolute Quick Ratio/cash Ratio Cash ratio is the strongest measurement of liquidity. Since cash is the most liquid assets, a financial analyze may examine cash ratio & its equivalent to current liabilities. Trade investments or marketable securities are equivalent of cash therefore they may be included in computation of cash ratio. To calculate absolute quick ratio we consider cash in hand, cash at bank & marketable securities. Cash Ratio = Cash + Marketable securities Current Liabilities TABLE-1.3 Absolute Quick Ratio
