 PREFACE

Practical training constitutes an integral part of management studies. Training gives an

opportunity to the students to expose themselves to the industrial environment, which is quit
different from the classroom teachings. One cannot rely on theoretical knowledge. It has to
be coupled with practical to be fruitful. Training also enables the management students to see
themselves the working condition under which they have to work in the future. It thus
enables the students to undergone those experiences, which will help them later when they
join any organization. After liberalization the Indian economic sense is changed. Industrial
activity in India has become a thing to watch & I really wanted to be a part of it &it is
essential for me being a finance student. I underwent six weeks of training at CROMPTON
GREAVES LTD. I consider myself lucky to get my summer training in such a big
Company. It really helped me to get a practical insight into actual business environment &
provide me an opportunity to make my financial management concepts more clear.

SUMMER TRAINING REPORT 6

INTRODUCTION TO SUBJECT:-
A firm required as sufficient amount of working capital to run its day-
to-day business. We can hardly find a firm that does not have any amount of working capital .But firms
differ in their requirement for working capital. The firms need working capital because sales do not convert
into cash instantaneously. There is always a time duration required to convert sales, after the conversion of
resources into inventories, into cash.

PROJECT TITLE :-

Working capital management

This is done to ensure that the company has sufficient cash flow in order to meet its short-term debt
obligations and operating expenses. This project is done in Crompton Greaves a Motors manufacturing Plant
in Mandideep (Bhopal). Crompton Greaves is a multinational company. It’s manufacturing not only big
equipment but also small equipment like household Equipment its include fans, tube light etc. The company
had acquired better position in the world. I have chosen the Machine division because Crompton greaves is a
first Indian multinational company in the world.

Location
Crompton Greaves Limited

Large & Traction Machine Division: Industrial System

M7, Industrial Area MPAKVN, Mandideep, Bhopal 462046.

It is situated at 25 km from Bhopal. Transport facilities are available from each and every corner of Bhopal
and other nearby places.

SUMMER TRAINING REPORT 7

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY :-
The basic objective of working capital is to provide adequate support for the

smooth functioning of normal business operations of a company. The term adequate working capital is

subjective depending on management’s attitude towards uncertainty /risk.

1. Maintenance of working capital

2. Availability of ample funds at the time of needs.

SUMMER TRAINING REPORT 8

INDUSTRY PROFILE :-

The origins of CG can be traced back to the pioneering work of Colonel REB
Crompton, who, in 1878 founded a business at Chelmsford, Essex, England under the name of REB
Crompton & Co., to engage in the manufacture and contracting of electrical equipment.

In the 1960s CG took its initial steps to revolutionize its portfolio, which till
then comprised only motors and consumer products. It took a major leap in the electrical engineering
segment, through the acquisition of transformer technology from Westinghouse Electric Corporation of
USA, for manufacture of 400 kV transformers and aluminium wound transformers. This was followed by
further expansion in the switchgear, vacuum interrupter and allied businesses. By 2005, the Company had
emerged as one of the leading companies in the electrical engineering domain of India, in its three business
areas of Power Systems, Industrial Systems and Consumer Products; and a serious contender in the global
arena.
CG established its international manufacturing footprint in the year 2005
by acquisition of the Belgium based Pauwels Group, which gave CG additional manufacturing facilities for
Power and Distribution transformers at Belgium, Ireland, USA, Canada and Indonesia. This was followed
with a series of successful acquisitions - Ganz, Hungary in 2006; Microsol, Ireland in 2007; Sonomatra,
France; MSE, USA in 2008 and PTS, UK in 2010 in its quest to establish a technology edge, increase its
global market reach and enhance the product portfolio. The business domains of the new companies that
joined the CG family, has charted the way for CG becoming a "full solutions provider" which has carved out
for CG a position as a serious international player and a recognized transnational corporation.
Initially, CG`s foreign acquisitions operated their respective businesses
under their individual Brand names. To integrate these new entrants into the CG family, the first step was
integration of processes, systems and technologies across all the acquired companies worldwide. The next
step was to articulate the one single idea that provided a common thread through all the CG Group
companies. We discovered our shared philosophy as "our core strength is the value we place on
relationships, and the ability to provide solutions, which, in turn, strengthen these relationships". This
realisation and initiative gave birth to CG`s new Brand Identity which was launched on 15th October, 2009,
succinctly conveying this shared philosophy.
Whilst the Company`s name in India will continue to be Crompton Greaves,
the names of all the foreign companies in the CG family start with "CG", thus establishing their lineage and
uniting every company in the CG family with a common face to the internal as well as the external world,
globally.
Today, CG is a public listed company, amongst the "A" (premier)
category of listings on the Bombay and National Stock Exchanges of India and its GDRs are listed on the
London Stock Exchange, with over 70,000 shareholders.

COMPANY PROFILE:-

Crompton Greaves Limited was established in 1937. It is a member of the Gautam Thapar led group
of companies, AVANTHA. Since its inception, the Company has assiduously endeavoured to bring about
meaningful & revolutionary changes in the lives of people, through its wide spectrum of products and
services.

The company’s origins go back to two entrepreneurial ventures in the 19th century. One of them was an
English firm by the name of R.E.B. Crompton & Company, which was founded in 1878 by Colonel Rookes
Evelyn Bell Crompton, a renowned electrical engineer. The other was James Greaves & Company (JGC), an
Indian firm that was established in 1858. JGC went into a partnership with George Cotton, an agent of the
East India Company, to set up a venture called Greaves Cotton & Company. In 1927, Crompton & Company
merged with F. A. Parkinson, pioneers in the field of large-scale industrial engineering to form a new
company, Crompton Parkinson. Crompton Parkinson, UK, set up a factory in Worli, Bombay, for the
manufacture of small electric motors and ceiling fans under the style Crompton Parkinson Works (India)
Ltd. A marketing organisation under the banner, Greaves Cotton and Crompton Parkinson (Pvt.) Ltd. was
established simultaneously with Greaves Cotton & Co., the selling agents of Crompton Parkinson Works
(India).

From the beginning, R.E.B. Crompton & Company had focused on generation of electricity, with lighting
making up a significant part of its activities. A Crompton dynamo powered the first electric-lit house in the
world at Colchester, Essex. The company set up arc lighting plants at Buckingham Palace, Holyrod Palace,
Crystal Palace and King’s Cross Station, London.

Today, Crompton Greaves has three strategic business units (SBUs) namely; Power Systems, Industrial
Systems and Consumer Products.

Power Systems

This group includes the Transformers, Switchgear and Engineering Projects businesses of Crompton
Greaves. It involves the manufacture of power and distribution transformers, switchgear, lightning arrestors,

WORKNG CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:

SUMMER TRAINING REPORT 21

INTRODUCTION

Working capital management is concerned with the problems arise in attempting to manage the current
assets, the current liabilities and the inter relationship that exist between them. The term current assets refers
to those assets which in ordinary course of business can be, or, will be, turned in to cash within one year
without undergoing a diminution in value and without disrupting the operation of the firm. The major
current assets are cash, marketable securities, account receivable and inventory. Current liabilities ware
those liabilities which intended at there inception to be paid in ordinary course of business, within a year, out
of the current assets or earnings of the concern. The basic current liabilities are account payable, bill
payable, bank over-draft, and outstanding expenses. The goal of working capital management is to manage
the firm s current assets and current liabilities in such way that the satisfactory level of working capital is
mentioned. The current should be large enough to cover its current liabilities in order to ensure a reasonable
margin of the safety.

Concept of working capital

 Gross Working Capital = Total of Current Asset

 Net Working Capital = Excess of Current Asset over Current Liability

Current Assets Current Liabilities

 Cash in hand / at bank  Bills Payable
 Bills Receivable  Sundry Creditors
 Sundry Debtors  Outstanding expenses
 Short term loans  Accrued expenses
 Investors/ stock  Bank Over draft
 Temporary investment
 Prepaid expenses
 Accrued incomes

Working capital in terms of five components:

1. Cash and equivalents: - This most liquid form of working capital requires constant supervision. A good
cash budgeting and forecasting system provides answers to key questions such as: Is the cash level adequate
to meet current expenses as they come due? What is the timing relationship between cash inflow and
outflow? When will peak cash needs occur? When and how much bank borrowing will be needed to meet
any cash shortfalls? When will repayment be expected and will the cash flow cover it?

2. Accounts receivable: - Many businesses extend credit to their customers. If you do, is the amount of
accounts receivable reasonable relative to sales? How rapidly are receivables being collected? Which
customers are slow to pay and what should be done about them?

SUMMER TRAINING REPORT 22

3. Inventory: - Inventory is often as much as 50 percent of a firm's current assets, so naturally it requires
continual scrutiny. Is the inventory level reasonable compared with sales and the nature of your business?
What's the rate of inventory turnover compared with other companies in your type of business?

4. Accounts payable:- Financing by suppliers is common in small business; it is one of the major sources of
funds for entrepreneurs. Is the amount of money owed suppliers reasonable relative to what you purchase?
What is your firm's payment policy doing to enhance or detract from your credit rating?

5. Accrued expenses and taxes payable: - These are obligations of your company at any given time and
represent a future outflow of cash.

Two different concepts of working capital are:-

 Balance sheet or Traditional concept

 Operating cycle concept.

Balance sheet or Traditional concept:- It shows the position of the firm at certain point of time. It is calculated
in the basis of balance sheet prepared at a specific date. In this method there are two type of working capital:-

 Gross working capital

 Net working capital

Gross working capital: - It refers to the firm’s investment in current assets. The sum of the current assets is the
working capital of the business. The sum of the current assets is a quantitative aspect of working capital. Which
emphasizes more on quantity than its quality, but it fails to reveal the true financial position of the firm because
every increase in current liabilities will decrease the gross working capital.

Net working capital: - It is the difference between current assets and current liabilities or the excess of total
current assets over total current liabilities.

Working capital= current assets - current liabilities.

SUMMER TRAINING REPORT 23

Net working capital: - It is also can defined as that part of a firm’s current assets which is financed with long
term funds. It may be either positive or negative. When the current assets exceed the current liability, the
working capital is positive and vice versa.

Operating cycle concept: - The duration or time required to complete the sequence of events right from
purchase of raw material for cash to the realization of sales in cash is called the operating cycle or working
capital cycle.

Factors requiring consideration while estimating working capital.

 The average credit period expected to be allowed by suppliers.

 Total costs incurred on material, wages.
 The length of time for which raw material are to remain in stores before they are issued for
production.
 The length of the production cycle (or) work in process.
 The length of sales cycle during which finished goods are to be kept waiting for sales.
 The average period of credit allowed to customers
 The amount of cash required to make advance payment

Importance of Working Capital Ratios

Ratio analysis can be used by financial executives to check upon the efficiency with which working capital
is being used in the enterprise. The following are the important ratios to measure the efficiency of working
capital. The following, easily calculated, ratios are important measures of working capital utilization.

Ratio Formulae Result Interpretation

INTERPRETATION

In the table we see that there is rise in the debtors of Crompton greaves Limited in the successive years. A
simple logic is that debtors increase only when sales increase and if sales increases it is good sign for
growth. We can see 26% in 09-10 from previous years. We can say that it is a good sign as well as negative
also. Company policy of debtors is very good but a risk of bad debts is always present in high debtors. When
sales are increasing with a great speed the profit also increases. If company decreases the debtors they can
use the money in many investment plans.

INTERPRETATION

Generally a low debtor’s turnover ratio implies that it considered congenial for the business as it implies
better cash flow. The ratio indicates the time at which the debts are collected on an average during the
year. Needless to say that a high Debtors Turnover Ratio implies a shorter collection period which indicates
prompt payment made by the customer.

Now if we analyze the two year data we can say that company doesn’t hold a good position while receiving
its money from its debtors. The ratios are in an increasing trend, which implies that recovery position is not
so good and company should work on it to lessen number of days of receivable.

This ratio reflects the financial stability of the enterprise. The standard of the normal ratio is 2:1 but in most
of companies standard is taken according to Tandon Committee which is taken as 1.33:1.

Now if we analyze the two years data it can be predicted that it holds a stable position all throughout period
but it is seen that it holds a low position than the standard one and the company is required to improve its
position.

It is the ratio between quick liquid assets and quick liabilities. The normal value for such ratio is taken to be
1:1. It is used as an assessment tool for testing the liquidity position of the firm. It indicates the relationship
between strictly liquid assets whose realizable value is almost certain on one hand and strictly liquid
liabilities on the other hand. Liquid assets comprise all current assets minus stock.

By analyzing the two years data it can be said that quick ratio of company is good in both the years as it is
near standard value.

substantially to Rs. 548.50 crores as against Rs.472.51 crores in the last financial year. With the increase in
capacity on account of expansion projects being undertaken by the company, it is expected that the company

Company has parked its surplus fund in the various debt schemes of mutual fund. There is an increase of
107% in investment from the previous year. Company is cash rich but as there are expansion and
diversification plans under the consumer products, company is not utilizing these funds. For meeting the
working capital needs and capacity expansion needs it has borrowed from banks.
