Working capital management refers to the management of short-term assets and liabilities to ensure operational efficiency and financial stability. It is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Proper management of working capital ensures that a company has sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term obligations and continue its operations smoothly. Maini Materials Movement Pvt Ltd is a leading company in the material handling industry, specializing in electric mobility solutions and logistics equipment. The company operates in a competitive and technology-driven environment where efficient resource utilization is essential. Working capital management is particularly important in such industries due to high inventory levels, receivables, and operational costs. The study focuses on understanding how the company manages components like cash, inventory, and receivables. Efficient working capital management helps in maintaining a balance between profitability and liquidity. Poor management may lead to financial distress, while excessive working capital results in idle resources. Thus, this study aims to analyse the working capital practices of the company and evaluate its financial performance using key financial indicators.
