INTRODUCTION
Working Capital is essential for the day-to-day operations of a business, and hence it is the life-blood of any business. The basic theme of working capital management is to provide adequate support for smooth and efficient functioning of normal day-to-day business operations by striking a trade-off between the three dimensions of working capital, i.e., liquidity, profitability and risk. In the present environment of cut-throat competition, business does not have any other option than cutting the cost of its operations in order to be competitive as well as financially healthy. It is in this connection that effective management of working capital plays a vital role. But a great deal of controversy exists over the issue as to whether the working capital of a firm, as determined by its financing and investment decisions, affects its profitability or not. They argue that inadequacy of working capital keeps fixed assets incorporative. Obviously, a large number of considerations play a vital role in the development of arguments and counter arguments in this regard. Against the backdrop of this academic debate, an attempt has been made in this study to evaluate this interrelationship between working capital management and profitability of 8 years data to analyze the Indian Construction Sector during the period from 2001-2008. The importance of working capital in any industry needs no special emphasis. Working capital refers to that portion of total fund, which finances the day-to-day working expenses during the operating cycle. Management of working is one of the most important functions of corporate management. The efficient working capital management is the most crucial factor in maintaining liquidity and profitability of the concerned business organization.
Profitability:Profitability has been defines as ability to earn profit. It is measured in relative terms of either size, past years. The most commonly used measure of profitability is in terms of size that is profit or loss divided by total assets. Sometimes profitability is measured by taking profit of two years to judge the more profitable year. In peer terms the profitability is measured by comparing the profits of two firms in the same industry. Profitability has been an important criterion to evaluate the overall efficiency of firm operations. Being a relative measure, it is devoid of the pitfalls associated with interpretation of term profit. Even if one ignores the past year or peer aspect of measuring profitability. It is still the best indicator of efficiency of banking operations. The concept of profitability is used and interpreted the same way both in a business firm and a banking company. Profitability in banking parlance denotes the efficiency with which a bank deploys its total resources to optimize its profit and thus serves an index of assets utilization and managerial effectiveness. The relationship of profitability with macro dimensions of solvency and liquidity has been that of risk return trade-off the more risk a bank is willing to take in terms of less solvency and/ or low liquidity. The more return it is able to earn. In other words, there is a direct inverse relationship between profitability and solvency/liquidity. An increased level of solvency means low leverage, low risk and consequently low profitability. In the same way high liquidity increases interest burden (if purchased) or decreases earning ability (if stored), reduces risk and profitability becomes low. The term total assets has been used instead of working fund. As working fund is equal to total assets/liabilities minus contra items, there is no difference between the two terms. Two important variables, viz working fund and total income which are indicative of size, have therefore been used to obtain relative values for these variables and also to purge the effect of size factor. Thus, spread, burden and their four components have been divided by working fund and total income respectively thereby giving 12 ratios for analysis.
The rationale behind using working fund and total income is that income is related to income generating capacity. Both the criteria are independent and are guided by deposit mix, loan portfolio, share of earning assets etc., for example, a large company may have small amount of total income in comparison to its size, that is working fund due to large proportion of no-performing assets and also vice versa. In spread divided by working fund is actually net interest margin while burden has been divided by working fund to indicate efficiency of non-banking activities. Alternatively, these two variables have also been divided by total income to measure their contribution to total revenue, in the last stage, these two variables have been factored into their sub-components and their relative contributions in terms of size and total revenue have been measured by calculating eight ratios. The multiplier, spread and burden variables are by nature independent, as they are guided by capital structure, interest rates on deposits and advances, non-banking activities and functional efficiency. While the multiplier, spread and burden ratios are the established old ratios and as such do not require elaborate explanation. Interest comprises of interest/discount on advance/bills/income on investments, interest on balances with RBI and others. It indicates interest earnings capacity of a bank and is directly related to quality and size of loan portfolio and investment. A part from these; it is also influenced by fund management policy, liquidity perception and reputation of bank. On the other hand, interest expended reflects the costs incurred by the bank keeping deposits and procuring borrowings. It includes interest paid on deposits, interest paid on RBI/ Inter-bank borrowings and others. followed (purchased or stored). The important liquidity practices

Research Methodology
Definition:
Procedures used in making systematic observations or otherwise obtaining data, evidence, or information as part of a research project or study 1. Is being undertaken within a framework of a set of philosophies (approaches); 2. Uses procedures, methods and techniques that have been tested for their Validity and reliability; 3. Is designed to be unbiased and objective. Philosophies means approaches e.g. qualitative, quantitative and the academic Discipline in which you have been trained. Validity means that correct procedures have been applied to find answers to a Question. Reliability refers to the quality of a measurement procedure that provides Repeatability and accuracy. Unbiased and objective means that you have taken each step in an unbiased Manner and drawn each conclusion to the best of your ability and without Introducing your own vested interest.
Meaning:
The basic concept of research methodology refers to the way in which companies conduct their research and how they collect the data they need. Whenever a company or organization needs to investigate a particular area of their business dealings, they need to adapt the most suitable research methodology for thejob. Research methodology typically involves a full breakdown of all the options that have been chosen by a company in order to investigate
7
something. This would include the procedures and techniques used to perform the research; as well as any of the terminology and explanations of how these methods will be appliedeffectively.
A company may need to decide what format of research they want to use before the investigation begins. For example, if a company that sells a particular product needs to launch research to find out how effective or desirable a new product is, they will need to conduct what is known as primary research. This method means that the company will collect data and information themselves first hand.
Primary data:
Primary data is gathered for a specific purpose. for example a company might a specific own customers directly to find out more about their buying habits, Primary data means data you get by yourself through experiment or other ways. Primary data is collect information.
Secondary data
The data collected by someone other than the user. Common sources of secondary data for social science include censuses, surveys, organizational records and data collected through qualitative methodologies or qualitative research. Primary data, by contrast, are collected by the investigator conducting the research. Secondary data analysis saves time that would otherwise be spent collecting data and, particularly in the case of quantitative data, provides larger and higher-quality databases than would be unfeasible for any individual researcher to collect on their own. In addition to that, analysts of social and economic change consider secondary data essential, since it is
8
impossible to conduct a new survey that can adequately capture past change and/or developments.
Hypothesis
Hypothesis testing means subjecting a hypothesis to an appropriate empirical scrutiny and statistical test to determine its validity. A researcher has to do a number of things as pre requirements for testing a hypothesis. Hypothesis testing is two types that are
1)
Null hypothesis (Ho): A type of hypothesis used in statistics that proposes that no statistical significance exists in a set of given observations. The null hypothesis attempts to show that no variation exists between variables, or that a single variable is no different than zero. It is presumed to be true until statistical evidence nullifies it for an alternative hypothesis.
2)
Alternative hypothesis (Ha): Alternative hypothesis is the "hypothesis that the restriction or set of restrictions to be tested does NOT hold." Often denoted H1. Epidemiology A hypothesis to be adopted if a null hypothesis proves implausible, where exposure is linked to disease. See Hypothesis testing.
The null hypothesis is specifically formulated for testing for possible rejection or nullification. Hence the name null hypothesis. It is accompanied by an alternative hypothesis.
Tools of analysis
T test:
The t-test was developed by W.S. Gosset around 1915. Since he published his finding under a pen name student,it is known as students ttest. It is suitable for testing the significance of a sample mean or for judging the significance of difference between the means of two samples, when the samples are less than 30 in number and when the population variance is not known. When two samples are related, the paired t-test is used. The t-test can also be used for testing the significance of the coefficients of simple and partial correlations. Formula :
chi-square test :
It is used to make comparisons between two or more nominal variables. Unlike the other tests of significance, the chi-square is used to make comparisons between frequencies rather than between mean scores. Formula

CHAPTER-5
FINDINGS:
43
Current Ratio of Tecumseh India Ltd was showing continuously decreased during the study period 2003-2006. This is due to the continuous increase in current assets and fluctuation in current liabilities. Standard Ratio is 2:1 so that the company is maintaining the Liquidity position. Inventory Turnover Ratio of Tecumseh India Ltd was high in the year 2008-09 because percentage increase in Average Inventory is more when compare to percentage increase in Cost of Goods Sold. Debtors Turnover Ratio of Tecumseh India Ltd was showing fluctuations during the study period. From the year 2005-06 it was high because of increase in credit sales and in the year 2003-04 it was low because of high increase in Average debtors. PBITM of Tecumseh India Ltd was showing fluctuations during the study period 2003-2008. From the year 2007 it shows positive it means company can earn profits. But in the year 2003-06 and 2008 company can earning loss because of operating expenses is more when compare to operating income. Working Capital of Tecumseh India Ltd was decreased during the study period 2003-05. Because of increasing current liability and decreased in current assets. In the year 2003 it was high because of company can maintain high level current assets. ROCE of Tecumseh India Ltd was showing fluctuations during the study period. This is due to the continuous decreased in sales and fluctuations in PBIT (negative/loss). The co-efficient of correlation between Current Ratio and Profitability showing positive association i.e., both current ratio & profitability are moving in the same direction positively that means a 100% change in CR would cause only a +54% change in PBITM. 44
