INTRODUCTION

Indian steel industry plays a significant role in the countrys economic growth. The major contribution directs the attention that
steel is having a stronghold in the traditional sectors, such as infrastructure & constructions, automobile, transportation, industrial
applications etc. The liberalization of industrial policy and other initiatives taken by the Government have given a definite impetus
for entry, participation and growth of the private sector in the steel industry. While the existing units are being modernized/
expanded, a large number of new steel plants have also come up in different parts of the country based on modern, cost effective,
state of-the-art technologies. In the last few years, the rapid and stable growth of the demand side has also prompted domestic
entrepreneurs to set. At present, crude steel making capacity is 84 and India, the 4th largest producer1 of crude steel in the world,
has to its credit, the capability to produce a variety of grades and that too, of international quality standards up fresh green field
projects in different states of the country. Management of working capital is an important component of corporate financial
management because it directly affects the profitability of the firms. Net working capital trend is one of the devices for measuring
liquidity. Net working capital trend analysis is highly relevant as it presents the composite reflection of the trend analysis of current
assets and current liabilities. The direction of change in working capital position over the period of time is an indication of the
effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the working capital management. The study has been done on the basis of published annual
reports of operating five steel companies in India for a period of five years starting from 2011 and ending on 2015.Company may
have an optimal level of working capital that maximizes their value. Large inventory and generous trade credit policy may lead to
high sales. The larger inventory also reduces the risk of a stock-out. Trade credit may stimulate sales because it allows a firm to
access product quality before paying. Another component of working capital is accounts payables delaying payment of accounts
payable to suppliers allows firms to access the liquidity. A popular measure of working capital management is the net operating
cycle, that is, the time span between the expenditure for the purchases of raw materials and the collection of sales of finished goods.
Longer the time lag, the larger the investment in working capital. A long net operating cycle might increase profitability because
it leads to higher sales. However, corporate profitability might decrease with the net operating cycle, if the costs of higher
investment in working capital rise faster than the benefits of holding more inventories and/or granting more trade credit to
customers. The present work aims to examine the working capital management of steel companies in India.
About Steel Industry:

the profit but increasing the profit at the cost of liquidity can bring serious problems too. A company having a proper set of
liquidity management policies and procedure will improve profits, reduce the risk of corporate failure and significantly
improve its chances of survival. Effective liquidity management will enable organization to derive maximum benefits at
minimum cost. The study result show that the company enjoyed sound liquidity during the study period 2002-2006 but
relationship between liquidity and profitability are statistically not significant.
(Padachi, Trends in working capital management and its impact on firms performance, 2006) A well designed and
implemented working capital management is expected to contribute positively to the creation of a firms value. A firm is
required to maintain a balance between liquidity and profitability while conducting its day to day operations.

The relationship between the size and profitability is positive. If the size of the firm is increased or decreased then the
profitability increased or decreased respectively. Moreover, there are negative relationship between the profitability and the
debt utilized by firms that support to pecking order theory.
(Dash)This paper proposes a goal programming model for working capital management. Goal programming is necessary to
model the working capital decision, as a balance has to be achieved between the conflicting objectives of liquidity and
profitability. The goal programming model proposed in this paper examines the trade-off between liquidity and profitability.
Goal programming is appropriate because liquidity and profitability represent conflicting objectives of a firm.
