EXECUTIVE SUMMERYThe major objective of the study is to proper understanding the working capital of
NALCO & to suggest measures to overcome the shortfalls if any.
Funds needed for short term needs for the purpose like raw materials, payment of wages and
other day to day expenses are known as working capital. Decisions relating to working capital
(Current assets-Current liabilities) and short term financing are known as working capital
management. It involves the relationship between a firms short-term assets and its short term
liabilities. By definition, working capital management entails short-term definitions, generally
relating to the next one year period.
The goal of working capital management is to ensure that the firm is able to continue its
operation and that it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short term debt andupcoming operational expenses.
Working capital is primarily concerned with inventories management, Receivablemanagement, cash management & Payable management.
Inventories management at NALCO:
NALCO is a large scale manufacturing company involved in mining of Bauxite and production
of Aluminum. Therefore, it has to maintain large quantity of inventories at production units for
its smooth running and functioning.
Cash management at NALCO:
NALCO has been accumulating huge cash surpluses over last several years, which enables the
organization to maintain adequate cash reserves and to generate required amount of cash.
Receivables management at NALCO:NALCO has set up its marketing office at all metro cities in India i.e. Mumbai,

INDIAN ALUMINIUM INDUSTRY
Aluminium Industries in India is one of the leading industries in
the Indian economy. The growth of the aluminum Metal
industry in India would be sustained by the diversification andexploration of new horizons for the industry. India has huge
deposits of natural resources in form of minerals like copper,
chromite, iron ore, manganese, bauxite, gold, etc. The India
aluminum industry falls under the category of non iron based
which include the production of copper, tin, brass, lead,
zinc,aluminum,andmanganese.
The main operations of the of the India aluminum industry is
mining of ores, refining of the ore, casting, alloying, sheet, and
rolling into foils. At present, Hindalco and Nalco are one of the
most economical in the production of aluminum in the world.
For the sustenance of the growth the aluminum industry in India
has to develop research and development units to assist the
production and improve on the
quality
measures
to
keep
a
stringent
quality
control.
The India aluminum Metal Industries sector in the previous
decade experienced substantial success among the other
industries. The India aluminum industry is developing fast and
8/8/2019 r666689
10/28
the advancement in its technologies is boosting the growth even
faster. The utilization of both international and domestic
resources was significant in the rapid development of the India
aluminum industry. This rapid development has made the Indiaaluminum industry prominent among the investors. The India
aluminum industry has a bright future as it can become one of
the largest players in the global aluminum market as in India the
consumption is fairly low, the industry may use the surplus
production to cater the international need for aluminum which is
used all over the world for several applications such as aircraft
manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, utensils, etc.
The per capita consumption of aluminium in India is only 0.5
kg as against 25 kg. In USA, 19 kg.in Japan and 10 kg. In
Europe , Even the Worlds average per capita consumption is
about 10times of that in India. One reason of low consumption
in the country could be that consumption pattern of aluminium
in India is vastly different from that of developed countries. The
demand of aluminium is expected to grow by about 9 percent
per annum from present consumption levels. This sector is going
through a consolidation phase and existing producers are in the
process of
enhancing their production capacity so that a demand supply gap expected in future is bridged.
However, India is a net exporter of alumina and aluminium metal at present.
ALUMINIUM-STRUCTURE
The aluminium industry in India can be classified as:
(a) The primary producers who produce ingots and billets (primary form of
aluminium) using bauxite.
(b) The secondary producers who add value to the ingots and billets to
produce semi-fabricated products.
8/8/2019 r666689
11/28
At present there are only five companies in the primary aluminium market viz.Hindalco, Indian
Aluminum (Indal), Madras Aluminum (Malco), National Aluminum (Nalco) and Bharat
Aluminum (Balco). The former three are private sector companies while the latter two are
government owned.
All the primary producers have integrated forward into the manufacture of high value semi-
fabricated products like rods, rolled products, extrusions and foils.
Regulated till 1989o Until 1989, the Aluminum Control Order (ACO) required all domestic
manufacturers to ensure that atleast 50% of their ingot production was electrical grade, for use by
the transmission power industry. The government fixed ingot prices on the basis of a Retention
Pricing Mechanism, taking into consideration the average retention prices of all producers and a
minimum return on equity.
o The above control resulted in a skewed product mix and shortages of
aluminum for other sectors. The problem was further compounded by the vulnerable financial
position of State Electricity Boards (the main users of electrical grade aluminum) and high
import and excise duties. The producers resorted to inflated prices for other types of aluminium
to compensate for the disadvantages they suffered because of this regulation.
Ghjklfgiuiiyt
Bauxiteo Indian bauxite reserves at 3 bn tonnes, are the 5th largest in the world, and
account for 6% of total world reserves. Most alumina refineries are designed
around the bauxite reserves to reduce transportation costs. Cost per tonne of
bauxite varies for players depending on the location of the refinery and
bauxite mines.
o For example, Nalco has an estimated 1,600 m tonnes of bauxite reserves
only 20 kms from its alumina refinery, enabling it to become one of the mosteconomical bauxite producers in the world.
Power Power constitutes the single largest cost component for aluminium
8/8/2019 r666689
12/28
manufacturers (3540% of operating costs). Almost all the major Indian
companies have captive power plants thus giving them access to cheap
power. This makes India one of the most competitive low cost aluminium
producers in the world.
Hindalco and Nalcos production costs are amongst the lowest in the world. Both companies
have the advantage of 100% captive power, vital in a power intensive industry and in a power
deficit country like India.
8/8/2019 r666689
13/28
Aluminium Products
o Aluminium products can be segregated into rolled products,
extrusions, and
foils.o Rolled products find applications in automobiles (paneling,
floors and
windows, but are yet to find use in structural parts and bodies),
construction (roofing and walls), consumer durables,
engineering applications, web stock for laminated packaging
(for toothpastes). A major portion of rolled products capacity is
accounted for by the five integrated producers (around 82%).
o Extrusions include products as bars, pipes and tubes. Major
users of extruded
aluminium products are buildings, transportation and electrical
sector
o Production in this segment is widely spread and the top three
players control
around 31% of the market (the largest company - Hindalcocommands
around 14% market share in this segment).
o Foils are sheets having thickness of less than 0.2 mm up to
0.006 mm finding
application mainly in the packaging sector. Major users of
aluminium foils include the pharmaceutical, consumer products,
cigarette and cable manufacturing industries.
KEY POINTS
Supply- Supply of aluminum is in excess and any deficit can be
imported at
8/8/2019 r666689
14/28
low rates of duty. Currently, domestic production comfortably
meets domestic
requirements.
Demand- Demand for aluminium is estimated to grow at 6%-8%per annum in
view of the low per capita consumption in India. Also, demand
for the metal is expected to pick up as the scenario improves for
user industries, like power, infrastructure and transportation.
Barriers to entry- Large economies of scale. Consequently, high
capital costsBargaining power of suppliers- Most domestic players operate
integrated
plants. Bargaining power is limited in case of power purchase,
as Government is the only supplier. However, increasing usage
of captive power plants (CPP) will help to rationalise power
costs to a certain extent in the long-term.
Bargaining power of customers- Being a commodity, customers
enjoy
relatively high bargaining power, as prices are determined on
demand and
supply.
Competition- competition is primarily on quality and price, as
being a
commodity, differentiation is difficult. However, the recent
spate of consolidation has reduced the competitive pressure in
the industry. Further, increasing value addition to aluminium
8/8/2019 r666689
15/28
products has helped some companies protect themselves from
the high volatilities witnessed in this industry.
FINANCIAL YEAR-08
Global production of primary aluminum rose from 32million tons (MT) in
2005 to 34 MT in 2006, a jump of 6%. In 2007, it further
increased to 38 MT, an increase of 12% YoY. China alone
accounted for 29% of global primary aluminum production.
Asia, once again showed the largest annual increases in
consumption of primary aluminum, driven largely by increasedindustrial consumption in China, which has emerged as the
largest aluminum consuming nation, accounting for 30% of
global primary aluminum consumption in 2007. As far as global
consumption is concerned, it increased by 8.2% in 2006 and
touched 34.7 MT. In 2007, the corresponding figures were 10%
and 37.8 MT respectively.
The Indian aluminium industry registered a strong double-digit
growth in 2007 in tune with the economic growth. Strong
growths in industrial, infrastructure, automobile, transportation
and power sectors were the drivers
5678p0p-
8/8/2019 r666689
16/28
The consumption of aluminium in India of 0.7 kg per person in 2005 is very low in keeping with
the countries low GDP. However, the low per capita consumption of aluminum in India is in fact
an opportunity for growth in aluminium consumption against the back drop of fast growing
economic conditions in India.
However, aluminum consumption has increased 12.6% in 2006 to around 1.08mt. Consumptionis estimated to have increased to a 5 year CAGR of 12.9%. Secondary aluminium demand also
shot up to 0.6 MT last year.
Sector-wise aluminum consumption
Aluminium is used in various sectors, such as, transportation, packaging, building / construction
and electricity. However, the usage pattern differs significantly for Indian and rest of the world.
Globally, the automotive, packaging and the construction sectors are the major end users of
aluminium, while in India the power sector consumes most followed by automotive and housing
sectors.
Sector wise consumption break up
Electrical 65%
Transport-21%
Construction -8%
Packaging 5%
Industrial machinery 4%
Consumer durables 4%
Steel sweetening, powers & chemicals 13%
The Transportation sector is a major driver of aluminum consumption in the future
where the onus of growing consumption lies with the industry. The automobile
segment has attracted major global producers to set up theirmanufacturing facilities in the country. All these manufacturers
are now engaged in bringing out high quality fuel-efficient cars
in the market for India as well as global markets. Besides cars,
8/8/2019 r666689
17/28
there are commercial vehicles which have also witnessed
quantum growth over the years.
Use of Aluminum as an alternative to steel has huge potential in
the railways. The government has taken note of this and hasstarted working on that. Aluminum castings are primarily used
in transport and automobile sectors.
The global casting is currently estimated at around 7.4 million
tons, against that consumption in India as only around 110,000
tons. The countrys share in the global downstream sector is low
as compared to other developed countries.Casting of aluminum alloys is a particularly versatile process
and offers greater degree of flexibility than other methods of
manufacture, and can be done by various methods like in sand,
in metallic dies, under gravity or pressure, and cast by modern
methods like low-pressure die- casting (LPDC), investment
casting, and squeeze casting. No other metal can be cast under
such a wide range of processes and sizes varying from a fewgrams to 100 kg.
Although, domestic aluminum production exceeds the domestic
demand, India imports on an average 15-20 per cent of the total
supply of aluminum. Imports are necessary, due to the shortage
of domestically produced ingots. Indias imports of aluminum
and products primarily comprise of unwrought items like ingots,
billets, scrap, bars and rods. Imports of primary aluminumproducts account for less than 10 per cent of domestic
consumption. India also exports aluminum products such as,
scrap, powder and flakes, bar rods, foil, pellets, sheets, tubes and
pipes. Exports figures hovers around 82000 tons annually and

background and nomination status of balance 10 families has
been taken up at appropriate level. Besides, 1495 families were
substantially affected (i.e. parting with one third or more land) in
Angul sector. Even from these, jobs have been provided to 1060persons. Nalco has also been sponsoring ITI training to such
persons and 543 have been technically trained so far. Apart from
financial compensation, employment and rehabilitation
packages, Nalco has also spent more than Rs. 100 crore towards
various social sector development activities. Creation of
infrastructure in the surrounding villages for communication,
education, health care and drinking water gets priority in the
periphery development plans of the company. Communityparticipation in innovative farming, pisciculture, social forestry
and sanitation programmes apart, encouragement to sports, art,
culture and literature are all a part of Nalco's deep involvement
with the life of the community. Successful operations of the
company have led to employment and income generation for the
local people in many significant ways.

Brief History:
8/8/2019 r666689
22/28
After the discovery of 1000 million tons of Bauxite reserves in the Eastern Ghats,
the govt. of India on the 28th March, 1978, authorized Aluminum Pechiney of
France to prepare a feasibility report on the industrial exploration of bauxite for the
establishment of an integrated
Aluminum complex. The result of this study led to sifting of focus of attention toPanchpattermali, 30km.East of Koraput District of Orissa. Nalco was incorporated
in 1981as a public sector Unit. The newly founded NALCO signed an agreement of
collaboration with aluminum Pechiney, the world leader in this field for
incorporation of technical know-how to set up Asias largest integrated aluminium
complex.
