REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Mishra (1975)1 studied the efficiency of working capital management in six sample public sector units. The study identified that management of various components of working capital in sample units was highly unsatisfactory. Suk, Seung and Rowland (1992)2 in their research conducted an in-depth survey to analyze the liquidity practices of ninety four sample Japanese companies operating in the United States. Sivarama (1999)3 in his study on working capital management in the Indian paper industry, found a close association between profitability and working capital efficiency. Ghosh and Maji (2003)4 made an empirical study on the relationship between utilization of current assets and operating profitability in the Indian cement and tea industries. Bardia (2004)5 conducted a study on the issue pertaining to the relationship between working capital management and profitability of a Navaratna steel manufacturing public sector enterprise. Prof. B. P. Singh (2012)6 investigated the relationship between the components of working capital and profitability. He observed that the telecom industry is operating below average so far as working capital is concerned. Pasupathi (2013)7 conducted a comparative study of WCM performance in commercial vehicles, passenger cars and multi utility vehicles and two and three wheelers sectors of Indian automobile industry.

CONCLUSION:
It is clear that debtors occupied major share as a percentage of current assets during the period of study. Short term borrowings of the company are too high over the period of study. Current ratio of the company is high which indicates that the company is more likely to meet its current liabilities. Debtors’ turnover ratio is low and Net Working Capital turnover ratio is not uniform during the period of study because the firm is not efficiently collecting its credit sales which results into high Average Collection Period. Current ratio, Quick ratio, super quick ratio, Gross working turnover ratio, Inventory turnover and Debtors’ turnover ratios are uniform during the period of study.
