If a firm wants to increase its profitability, it must also increase its risk.
If it is to decrease risk, it must decrease its profitability. The trade off between
these variables is that regardless of how the firm increases its profitability
through the manipulation of working capital. The consequence is a
corresponding increase in risk as measured by the level of working capital.

Net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and
current liabilities are those claims of outsiders which are expected to mature for
payment within an accounting year and include creditors (accounts payable), bills
payable, and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can be positive or
negative. A positive net working capital will arise when current assets exceed
current liabilities.

2.1 Need for the Study
Working capital management is a very significance aspect in the
management of finance of any organization. By checking the level of working
capital can easily identify the liquidity and profitability position of the firm
The level of current assets and current liabilities determines the level of

The data of the RTPP covers a period of five financial years i.e 2003-2008
Time is one of the limiting factor of the study the duration of training was
one month which was too short period to study the whole organization.
Second limiting factor is the busy schedule of the executives. As a result
of which is very difficult to get minute information about the organization.
Sum aspects of financial information were not available because of the
confidentiality of RTPP.

The Reforms process turned active only in the 1996 with the adopted
of “the common minimum nation action plan for power” at the chief minister’s
conference. This action plan which laid the foundation for reforms in State
Electricity Boards (SEB’S) has the following salient features.
This provision invited considerable flak from the prefer power lobby and
was unceremoniously shelved when the ordinance was passed into an act of
parliament on 2nd July, 1998 reducing SERC’S to toothless tigers as for as

Introduction:
The electricity Act, 2003 has come into force with effect from 10th June,
2003 replacing three legislations namely, the Indian electricity Act, 1910, the
electricity (supply) Act 1948 and electricity regulatory commissions Act, 1998.
Lot of thrust is being given by the government for development of power
sector in order to achieve the ultimate objective of “power for all”.

Many baryties and mine industries were started subsequently more and
more industries were established in this region added to this, this region is
considered to be hottest region temperature often go up to 50oC in summer.
Therefore the need for electricity to meet the necessity of the in habitants and
the industrial belt of this region was felt, as the supply that was generated by
the agencies was found insufficient. Hence the government established the
Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project (RTPP) in the year 1988.

demand for power. The project envisages the installation of 2x20 MW thermal
generation units under stage 1. The first 210MW units are commissioned on
31.03.1994 and second unit on 25.02.1995.
Rayalaseema region is in the southern part of the state and most of the
generating facilities are in the northern part of the state except two major
hydel stations in the central part. The Rayalaseema region therefore gets its
power needs through long EHT lines and frequently faces low voltage
problem particularly during summer when the hydro stations generation goes
down. Priority is therefore given for industrial development and power being
the basic infrastructure, it is necessary to ensure power supplies. In this
context the RTPP is taken up not only improve the base low capacity of the
grid but also to ensure proper voltage profile in the area under all conditions.

2. Cost Estimates:
The total cost of the project was estimated at Rs. 503.71 crores based on
1987 price and now revised to 840 crores and it is financial partly by Asian
Development Bank, Manila and partly by power finance corporation New Delhi
and self finance.The project cost of stage-2 is Rs.1640 croes,actual
expenditure around Rs.1800 croes.

b. Water Supply: The water required for running of the power station is
being drawn from the Mylavaram Reservior through a 21 km long steal pipe
line. The water flows from Mylavaram to RTPP through gravity. Government
of Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Department has allocated 20 Cusecs of water
per day 1.3 TMC per year from the reservoir for the project.
c. Coal Supply: The power station required about 2.5 million tons of coal
every year, which is being supplied from the SINGARENI COLLIRIES under
long term coal linkage arrangements. The coal is being transported to power
house site by rail over a distance of about 800km by one of the routes.

4. REVIEW OF
LITERATURE
Working capital management involves the relationship between a firm’s
short-term assets and its short-term liabilities. The goal of working capital
management is to ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that
it has sufficient ability to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming
operational expenses. The management of working involves managing
inventories accounts receivable and payable and cash.

This study however, concludes that as a whole the liquidity and profitability
were adversely correlated. Panda and sat apathy (1988) carried out a research

industry This study revealed that the positive influence of working capital on
profitability of ers the selected companies was highly significant. Vijay kumaran
anc Venkatachalam (1995) conducted on em pirical study on the interrelationship
between workings capital management and profitability, in this study thirty -one
sugar companies in Tamilnadu were selected this study showed that the liquidity
was negatively associated with profitability while the inventory turnover and
debtor's turnover had positive influence on profitability.
A great deal of controversy has always been persisting over whether the
working capital of a film as determined by its investment and financing decisions
affects its profitability on this issue academ icians are sharply divided in two
schools of thoughts. One school of thought argues that working capital is not a
factor o enhancing profitability. Only fixed capital plays a very significant role in
profit generating process. More over, they also opine that there

The current ratio compares the total current asset with the total current
liabilities. A relative high ratio is an indication that the company is having high
liquidity position and has the ability to pay its current obligation in time as and
when they became due.

Generally 2:1 is considered ideal for the concern ratio. Current assets
should be two times the current liabilities. But this was not ideal for port trust
because A.P GENCO is a service oriented organization. From the above table

7. Liquidratio
The Liquid ratio is calculated by deducting inventories from current
assets and dividing the remainder by current liabilities. Inventories are
typically the least liquid of a firm’s current assets and assets on which losses
are most likely to occur in the event of liquidation. Therefore, this measure of
the firm’s ability to payoff short-term obligations without relying on the scale of
inventories is important.
The term liquid assets refer to current assets, which can be converted
into cash immediately or at a short notice without diminution in value. Included
in this category of current assets are
- Debtors or receivables

6. FINDINGS
The average inventory holding period of the APGENCO is more during
2003-04 compare with the previous year. It means funds were blocked up
in inventory which leads to interest on capital blocked up inventory.
From the observation it is clear that equity share capital is fixed for
years. There is preference share capital in APGENCO and debt capital is
increased in the year 2007-08.
From the analysis the net profit ratio was increased year by year.
From the analysis it is clear that the current ratio is decreased from the
year 2005-06. The ideal current ratio between current assets and current
liabilities should be 2:1.
The A.P. GENCO has to maintain a good liquid balance to meet its
obligations because the absolute liquid ratio is decreasing year by year.
The study reveals that the companies met working capital increased
from 2000-01 to 2004-05.
In the year 2006-07 the current assets was 260668.92 and current
liabilities was 150181.58.

The working capital management system followed by APGENCO
shows a satisfactory position. Proper working capital management is used to
establish a cause and effect, relationship between variables to help the
management in making effective strategic planning to forecast the future and
take necessary steps to reach the organizational goals. Various crucial areas
that need attention were identified and practical suggestions were given to
improve performance.
