Introduction : The power sector has transited to an era or controlled competition giving a meaningful role for the private sector and the market to play in the nations infrastructure building. Reform in the power sector was officially kicked off in September 1991 with the passing of the electricity laws (amendment act! allowing the private sector in power generation. This was followed by the centers resolution in "ctober 1991 that opened up electricity generation! supply and distribution to the private sector. These came soon after the assumption of office by the #arasimha Rao $overnment. REFORMS IN THE STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD The reforms process turned active only in late 199% with the adoption of the &common minimum nation action plan for power' at the (hief )inisters conference. The action plan! which laid the foundation for reforms! is the state electricity boards *S+,s- have the following salient features. .ormulation of national energy policy. Setting up of the central and state electricity regulatory commissions. Rationali/ation of retail tariffs. 0rivate sector participation in private distribution. Streaming the role of central agencies concerned with pro1ect approvals. 2utonomy and improvement in the management and physical parameters of S+,s. 3t took another 14 months before the reforms process got into implementation mode with the promulgation of the electricity regulatory commissions ordinance by the precedence of 3ndia 2pril 56! 1994. This ordinance primarily gave legal shape to the two cardinal features of the common minimum action plan establishment of regulatory commission and rationali/ation of retail tariff. This provision invited considerable flak from the prefer power lobby and was unceremoniously shelved when the ordinance was passed in to! an 3 act of parliament of 7uly 5! 1994! reducing S+R(s to toothless tigers as far as rationali/ation of retail tariff was concerned. 8owever! the clause re9uiring the State $overnment to compensate the person 1 affected by the grant of subsidy in the manner state commission may direct was retained! there by giving some vestige of authority to the regulators. 2ndhra 0radesh 0ower $eneration (orporation :imited is one of the pivotal organi/ations of 2ndhra 0radesh! engaged in the business of 0ower generation. 2part from operation ; )aintenance of the power plants it has undertaken the e<ecution of the ongoing ; new power pro1ects scheduled under capacity addition programmed and is taking up renovation ; moderni/ation works of the old power stations. =hen 20S+, came into e<istence in 1969! 20S+, started functioning with the ob1ectives of maintaining the power sector efficiently and economically simultaneously ensuring demand meets the supply. >uring the last decade inade9uate capacity addition and low system fre9uency operation of less than ?4.6 8/ for more than half a decade considerably reduced the power supply reliability.

RAYALASEEMA THERMAL POWER PRO$ECT STAGE & I Rayalaseema comprises of four districts Dadapa! Durnool! 2nantapur and (hittoor which are considered to be in backward region and the area lags behind in all respects such as 2griculture! 3ndustry and education prior to the 3ndustrial development! 2griculture is purely dependent on rainfall. 0eople used to live on 2griculture sector owing to the advancement of Science and Technology some of barites and )ine 3ndustries were started subse9uently and more industries were established in this region. 2dded to this! the region is considered to be hottest region and temperature often goes up to 6A degrees centigrade in summer. Therefore the need for +lectricity to meet the necessity of the inhabitants and the 3ndustrial belt of this region was felt! as the supply that was generated by the 2gencies was found insufficient. 8ence the $overnment established Rayalaseema Thermal 0ower 0ro1ect in 199?. Rayalaseema Thermal 0ower 0ro1ect is one of the ma1or power generation facilities began developed in 2ndhra 0radesh to meet the growing demand for power.

3f a firm wants to increase its profitability! it must also increase its risk. 3f it is to decrease risk! it must decrease its profitability. The trade off between these variables is that regardless of how the firm increases its profitability through the manipulation of working capital. The conse9uence is a corresponding increase in risk as measured by the level of working capital. =orking capital in simple terms is the amount of funds which business concerns have to finance its dayHtoHday operations. 3t can also be regarded as that proportion of companys total capital which is employed in shortHterm operations.

INTERPRETATION'
$enerally 5I1 is considered ideal for the concern ratio. (urrent assets should be two times the current liabilities. ,ut this was not ideal for port trust because 2.0 $+#(" is a service oriented organi/ation. .rom the above table and (hart! it can be known that the current ratio is constantly decreasing from 5AA%HA9. The current ratio increased in the year 5A1A and then decreased in 5A11. 0 (UICK RATIOS' The 9uick ratio is calculated by deducting inventories from current assets and dividing the remainder by current liabilities. 3nventories are typically the least li9uid of a firms current assets and assets on which losses are most likely to occur in the event of li9uidation. Therefore! this measure of the firms ability to payoff shortHterm obligations without relying on the scale of inventories is important. The term 9uick assets refer to current assets! which can be converted into cash immediately or at a short notice without diminution in value. 3ncluded in this category of current assets are Curr*nt A!!*t! / In=*ntori*!
