A Study of Working Capital Management
of Hisar Project: Reliance Infrastructure
Limited, India
Introduction
Infrastructure industry is growing at a fast pace in almost all sectors with the development
and urbanization in the economy. The Indian government is also taking initiatives to develop
the infrastructure sector. The construction industry in India has reported an estimated growth
of 6.78% in the year 2006. According to a survey report,
1
The industry in India is highly
fragmented and has about 300,000 construction companies operating nationwide. The
government has allowed 100% foreign equity in the construction industry. Among the major
infrastructure projects are the $7-8 bn India-Iran gas pipeline, the $2.8 bn construction of
two power plants, and the $2.3 bn power project in Tamil Nadu.
Reliance Infrastructures Limited
Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. is not only Indias largest private sector enterprise in power utility
but also the largest private sector player in many other infrastructure sectors. In the power

This case focuses on various facets of working capital management at RIL
at its Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) division, which
mainly deals in power projects. Financial analysis of the company has also
been carried out to know its creditworthiness. Working capital
management involves not only managing the different components of the
current assets, but also managing the current liabilities, or to be more
precise, financing the current assets. There are three main areas in working
capital management and the study focuses on receivables management,
cash management, and inventory management. RIL manages its receivable
accounts through ageing analysis and manages its cash through
management information system. Inventory management is made easier
through the process of high sea sales and sale in transit. An analysis with
respect to the companys competitors is done on a few fronts to further
understand its position in the market.

sector they are involved in generation, transmission, distribution and trading of electricity
and constructing power plants as Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) partners.
Reliance Infrastructure distributes more than 28 billion units of electricity to cover 25 million
consumers across different parts of the country including Mumbai and Delhi in an area that
spans over 1,24,300 sq km. Reliance infrastructure also emerging as one of the leading players
in India in the EPC segment of the power sector with an order book of 8,300 cr, having
executed projects worth 10,000 cr in the past four years. They are also executing the first
100% private sector power transmission project for western grid with an investment worth
2,250 cr. Reliance Infrastructure has significant presence in the field of execution of the
power projects on EPC basis with a strong track record of the execution and commissioning
of projects on time. Most of its projects have been executed by Reliance Energy through
its EPC division.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Division
2
The EPC division of Reliance Infrastructure was setup in 1966 and was undertaking EPC
contracts on a turnkey basis and other value added services for major public and private sector
projects both in India and abroad. The division has 10 regional offices in major cities of India
and Overseas offices in Dubai, Nepal and Bhutan.
The range of projects include:
Thermal, hydro, co-generation and gas-based power generating stations;
400/132 kV transmission lines and switch yards;
Overhead and underground electrical networks;
Industrial electrification works for petrochemicals, fertilizers, steel, cement plants,
refineries, ports and hotels;
Indoor and outdoor illumination works; and
Pre-moulded accessories for extra high voltage electrical cables.
Future Opportunities/Prospects
This company is the largest private sector distributor with 6.5 mn customers because of its
huge power distribution asset in Delhi , Mumbai and Orissa. During last six years it has
made an investment of 32 bn in distribution infrastructure. The companys Mumbai
distribution assets are the most efficient with less than 11% Aggregate Technical and
Commercial losses (AT&C) as compared to Indias average of 35%. There has been also
reduction in AT&C losses for its Delhi distribution circle from 55% to 20% during the period
of six years i.e., from FY02 to FY08. With increasing demand for privatization of power
distribution operation by more and more states making this sector more lucrative and
attractive and has opened and created huge space for this company. The company has total
generating capacity of 940 mw and is looking to stretch it further. The company is executing
three projects worth of 40 bn , which is expected to generate 15% return.

Nature of the Problem
Historically, infrastructures companies have managed with very little capital. The infrastructure
sector is not capital intensive but working capital intensive. According to Dagar (2008),
3
After all, there is a ready market of infrastructure users who have time and again
demonstrated their willingness to pay; the private sectors capacity to fund and execute
projects is hardly in doubt and even the government, at the highest level, believes
infrastructure is the mantra for double digit growth. Indian infrastructure sector does not
require huge capex to set up manufacturing plants rather it requires a lot of free cash flows
to run the projects e.g., one can implement 1,000 cr project with the net worth of
25 cr only. Therefore, the size of project a company can bid for is determined by its net
worth because working capital can be borrowed against the net worth of the company.
RIL being a working capital intensive company requires knowing the effect of its current
methods. The company made a team to study the working capital management and to conduct
a financial analysis of RIL. The aim is to learn how to manage working capital needs of
the organization and to learn the different ways through which theoretical learning is applied
practically in the organization. The project is aimed to learn and gain knowledge of the
day-to-day working of the organization as to how does the different decision are taken and
on what basis. The project will help in gaining the knowledge of different steps of raising
the short term funds and their effective management so as to ensure adequate availability
of funds. The various analyses will help the management to assess the efficiency of the
working capital management of the company.

Receivables Management: Reliance Infrastructure uses debtors aging schedule method for
monitoring receivables, i.e., the time within which the credit sales are converted into cash.
Ageing schedule is one of the effective tool in the hands of finance division to get a feel
of the ongoing receivables that has been not realized from its customers. They expect to
realize their receivables within that stipulated period but many a time it does not happen.
This gets possible on account of several reasons:
Bill Break Up (BBU) not being approved by the customer.
Dispatch letter not enclosed.
The IUP Journal of Infrastructure, Vol. IX, No. 2, 2011 52
There are some prerequisites for the sale of goods, which are:
Ownership of goods should be transferred (ownership should be transferred before
the goods reach the site through endorsement of LR).
Rates must be approved. But at times we raise invoices to our customers as a
pressure building tool in spite of BBU not being approved.
Credit Policy: REL has a credit policy of 30 days from the date of invoicing. An invoice
exceeding 30 days becomes due, beyond 60 days requires managerial attention, and beyond
90 days is an alarming situation for the organization. Hence, ageing analysis comes into
effect. This brings the need for management to gear up for the recoverable amount. Reliance
Infrastructure follows a lenient credit policy in Hisar project as it is dealing with a government
body and thus has to endure various said formalities before the invoice gets rewarded.
It has all terms and conditions predefined with HPGCL and so, there is very little possibility
of invoice not getting paid. Management is assured that no matter a few invoices get delayed
but will be received after the required formalities (such as BBU not approved) are fulfilled.
Process of Receivables Management
Obtain the aging of all the Debtor;
Review of contractual norms with the debtors for the payment schedule;
Identify the overdue payments;
Obtain the reasons for the overdue and the follow up actions taken;
Recovery mechanism followed;
Recognition of bad debts; and
Review the difference arising out of escalation and negotiation.
Cash Management: It can be seen from the cash flow statement of Hisar project that net
cash inflow is in the negative (Table 1). This means that the payment from the client side
and payment to the vendors is not back to back. RIL is paying to its vendors but not getting
all payment obligations fulfilled from its client.
Work Breakdown Structure: For the purpose of simplifying the process of maintaining
accounts, the entire project has been divided into various WBS elements. WBS is a
hierarchical tree structure for defining and organizing the total scope of the structure.
The first two levels of the WBS (the root node and Level 2) define a set of planned outcomes
that collectively and exclusively represent 100% of the project scope. At each subsequent
level, the children of a parent node collectively and exclusively represent 100% of the scope
of their parent node. A well-designed WBS describes planned outcomes instead of planned
actions. Outcomes are the desired ends of the project, and can be predicted accurately; actions
comprise the project plan and may be difficult to predict accurately.

Inventory Management: Inventory constitutes a sizeable part of the total current assets of
the company. The popular control techniques which are used by Reliance Infrastructure for
mitigating the cost and increasing the benefits of optimum inventory holding are high sea
sale and sale in transit. RIL maintains inventory only of items like steel and cement which
are necessary for its projects. An ageing schedule was prepared in order to segregate the
inventory items under the categories:
Fast Moving Stock: An item in the warehouse for less than six months has been
put under this category (Table 3).
Normal Moving Stock: An item in the warehouse for more than six months but
less than a year has been put under this category (Table 4).
Slow Moving Stock: An item in the warehouse for more than a year has been put
under this category (Table 5).
The following data shows percent of items under these categories and the amount
associated with them and there has been also a need felt to have comparative study to know
the amount associated with them (Table 6) This lead to learn the reasons behind less inventory
costs for RIL and the process through which it manipulates the condition in its favor.
It can be seen from the data that the highest percent is that of slow moving stock and
least is of fast moving stock. The collated data provides a holistic view of the movement
of stocks. Although, the inventory items i.e. steel and cement are more or less used in every
project so excess of one is used to compensate for any deficiency in other projects.

Status of Working Capital: The net working capital has decreased from 2006 to 2009 (Table 7).
The liabilities has increased whereas assets have decreased. We can see that decrease in current
assets is mostly in cash and loans and advances. This marks poor on the liquidity position
of the company as well. And also indicates that the company is not taking any loans or asking
for advance payments from its clients thus reduction in loans and advances.
Ratio Analysis: Credit manager will calculate a few key ratios to interpret whether accounts
receivable are under control or in danger. Further he should take a long-term as well as short
term approach to the business. Profitability (Tables 8 to 12) of the firm largely depends upon
the operational and financial structure of the company, when these two structures are strong
enough there is no need to worry but if the financial structure is weak and operational is
good, company may have to redesign its capital structure again, the situation will worsen
if the operational structure is not good and financial structure is good, in such a case poor
operational structure will soon eat into the hitherto financial structure. According to
Hrishikesh Bhattacharya,
5
Although working capital management, particularly its receivables
component, apparently takes on a short term approach, commitment to a particular
receivables policy and the customer-relationship that emanates from it are long-term in nature
is strong, then chance of its revival is bleak. The poor operating structure would soon eat
into the hitherto good financial structure.
Operating Management
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio
The ratio is used to evaluate the long-term state of the business. For a capital intensive firm
like RIL, the ratio should be above 5, but it has remained below 5 for the studied period.

Although the ratio is showing an increasing trend throughout, this can be attributed to a
substantial increase in its net sales. The low ratio can also be because of poor liquidity,
which is a case during the growth phase of a firm. It is also evident in growing current
liabilities and reducing assets of the company through years.
Return on Investments (ROI)
The ultimate strength of a business lies not only on a consistently good margin on sales
but also on sales generation capacity of the assets of the firm. In fact, this is the most
comprehensive ratio for judging the operating strength of a business, as it translates the
financial objective of a firm into such operating terms as selling prices, profit margins, sales
turnover, production costs and capital equipments. Performance of the company against a
standard minimum of 12% is encouraging. The trend is also on the increase which further
puts the operating strength of the company on the positive side.
Gross Profit Ratio
This ratio of Reliance Infrastructure Limited has shown a downward trend. This is so because
some of its projects are in their initial stages, much of funds has been used in these projects,
but there has not been any revenue generation because of them, thus the gross profit ratio
has been declining.
Equity-Total Debt Ratio
A high long-term debt equity ratio is unfavorable because it indicates possible difficulty in
meeting long-term debt obligations. Reliance Infrastructure has a current ratio of 0.14 which
has increased from 0.06. It is less than the industry average of 0.33.
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Reliance has an inventory turnover ratio of 12.92 which is higher than the industry average
of 8. This depicts the efficiency of the firm in managing its inventory and the speed with
which it travels within the company to produce sales.
Receivables Turnover Ratio and Average Collection Period
The ratio (Table 13) shows an increasing trend and average collection period has also
decreased. This tells us that trade credit management is improving in the company and it
is better for the liquidity position of the company as well.

and payable period is also first increasing and then decreasing.

In Reliance Infrastructure debtors are the major portion of working capital. As explained
earlier the company uses ageing method to collect its money from debtors. Since the projects
have long gestation period, company has to arrange money from somewhere, and its their
policy to collect money from the client after regular interval after completion of a certain
stage of work. In lieu of these policies we can see that the company has brought its current
ratio and quick ratio to the industry standard. Inventory turnover ratio is very high as the
company doesnt store any inventory. As soon as the material reaches port they are transferred
to the clients store houses as per contract to save on taxes. The major inventory comprises
of steel and cement which are used in different projects. Comparing debtors and creditors,
earlier debtors were higher than creditors, because BBUs were different for creditors and
debtors. However, now the company has changed its policies and is trying to match up BBUs
for both so that they have lower creditor than debtor, result is apparently visible in the annual
report of 2008-09. The companys creditors collection period is higher than debtors which
is a good sign.
Credit Scoring
A credit score is calculated for RIL based on the ratios analyzed above. But there are few
major points which a user of credit scoring model should bear in mind.
A Study of Working Capital Management of Hisar Project:
Reliance Infrastructure Limited, India
63
No credit scoring model has universal applications. So, a firm must develop its
own model and update it periodically with the experience gathered from its usage.
Ratios or set of ratios also do not enjoy universality. The model developed should
be put to constant scrutiny and review to perfect the ratio set.
Trend of a ratio is more important than its absolute value. Therefore, ratios for
five years have been taken for eight ratios and three years for two in order to discern
the trend.
An objective credit scoring model should be supplemented by subjective analysis.
Complete reliance on credit scoring model may defeat the very purpose of credit
scoring as an instrument of credit decisions.
Framework for a Credit Scoring Model (Table 16)
Ten ratios have been taken for the model and divided in two parts: operating
management and financial management.

Moving Average (MA1) is calculated for first three years and then MA2 is calculated
for last three years.
Framework is presented in Exhibit 1. The serial number is also the weight assigned.
Weights are assigned according to the importance given to the ratios as a corporate
manager. It can be different for a loan officer.
Score of RIL is calculated by using the following formula:

S = Standard value of ratio.
It is clear that with a credit score of 0.745, RIL falls in the category of Very good
customers and will be considered creditworthy by credit givers.
Comparison of RIL with Its Competitors: If we compare the current ratios (Table 17 and
Figure 1) of RIL with the rivals it can be seen that during last five years RIL has brought
down the ratio to 3.94:1.55.

Comparative Financial Information: During March 2010 RIL turnover (Table 19) was second
highest after NTPC and EPS of RIL was highest among all in March 2010.
The IUP Journal of Infrastructure, Vol. IX, No. 2, 2011 66
Some Key Learnings
The study of contract between RIL and HPGCL lead to learning important terms
like bank guarantee, liquidation deposits, turnkey contract.
Each project is compared with previous ones in order to not make the same mistakes
and to take out key points to be able to negotiate with the same client. Here,
Hisar was compared with Yamunanagar project since both are from the same client.
One of the assignments was to compare the payments done by client and payment
done to the vendors, record the mismatch and prepare a summary. This shows
the importance of proper documentation and an information system.
The difference in approach towards different clients viz., private, public,
government.
RIL pays attention to paying its vendors on time. Earlier the payment from client
and to the vendors was back to back on a weekly basis. But then due to some
technical glitches client deferred its payments, but RIL continued paying its
vendors. In fact, an assignment required us to calculate the percent of billing done
by the vendors. If the purchase order has been given and still the billing is not
complete, respective vendors were contacted to know the reason. This tells that
the company wants to keep a good relationship with their vendors, which can
be helpful in future to ask for deference in payment.
Importance of documents like lorry receipt for sale in transit or bill of lading and
agreement for high sea sales.
Conclusion
Working capital is an important source of fund for the company in the absence of which,
the company may not fulfil its obligations on time. Therefore, it should be given due
importance and treated as an integral part of overall corporate management functions. It is
also very important to evaluate cause and effect relationship of every activity of the
management to assess its impact on working capital. During the course of the project, impact
of various causes is seen on the ongoing projects. Type of client, type of project, other ongoing
projects and many other events affect the working capital of a company. Management can
control the cost of bank interest up to some extent to support additional sales growth or
investments by negotiating with their vendors and effective working capital management.
Reliance Infrastructure has good industrial relationship and it has worked to maintain this.
It has also ventured into many turnkey projects of the government, which has increased the
goodwill of the company. The cash and bank balance have decreased but this can be attributed
to mega power projects taken over by the company. The company is following a conservative
policy in maintaining its current assets and it can be said that the overall performance of
the company is good with an effective working capital management being an integral part
of its system.
Recommendations
If the days past due is 30 days, the situation is serious but still may not be out
of control. Past payment records can be examined. If it is a regular feature,

the company may decide that no further than a mild warning letter will do.
If, however, the delay is occurring for the first time, a direct contact with the
customer is required to know the reasons behind the unusual delay.
If the days past due is more than 60 days, the situation is serious. Further top
management should be contacted and future processes should be stopped.
The credit manager should have patience and try to find out new
If the payment is due for more than 90 days, all deliveries should be stopped.
The account may be on the brink of becoming bad debt. It has to be closely
monitored with a view to collecting as much payment as possible.
The goal must be that all priority outflows be met fully out of operating cash flows
while all discretionary outflows be met with the balance in conjunction with the
financial flows.
Mismatch between the current receipts and current payments should be reduced
as much as possible.
Limitation of the Study
The study and analysis is based on the figures available in the annual report of the organization
and quarterly results published by the company. Time has been again a constraint in this
study for covering huge infrastructure sector.
