Debtor days increased to 62 days in FY2022 as against 38 days in FY2021. Inventory days though decreased to 348 days in FY2022 as against 356 days in FY2021 it remained high. The high inventory days is the requirement in this business as it takes approximately 7 -8 months for the raw material (which includes 2 months for production of the special metal composition required by the company coupled with 3-4 months of transportation and 2 months of inspection at receiving port) before it reaches to the company’s warehouse. The carrying cost of the inventory is factored in the quotation while bidding. Due to the nature of business the inventory days are expected to remain in line in the future years.

Vulnerability of profitability forex fluctuations
The essence of fluctuation in prices is present in this industry. However, because roughly half of the raw materials are imported, there is a natural hedge to some extent, as is demonstrated by the fact that the company has not suffered any large foreign exchange losses.
