Executive read· the answer, then the moves

The balance sheet is strong — total assets ₹2,060 Cr on ₹4,529 Cr sales (asset turnover ~2.2×), but ₹86.9 Cr of working capital is trapped in receivables, with more in inventory. Pull DSO from 52d to 45d to help self-fund new-energy, rare-earths & recycling capex rather than lean on the ₹218 Cr of covenant headroom.
