Inventory Turnover India.
Know exactly where you stand.

Excess inventory is one of the most common places Indian MSMEs unknowingly park working capital — stock bought "to be safe" or "to get a better bulk price" that sits for months, quietly tying up cash that could fund growth or reduce debt. This assessment finds exactly how much and where.

What This Assessment Measures

This assessment evaluates inventory health across four dimensions: turnover ratio (how many times inventory is sold and replaced over a period, benchmarked to your sector), slow-moving and obsolete stock (items aging beyond a reasonable threshold with no clear sale path), stockout frequency (whether the flip side — running out of fast-moving items — is also a problem), and forecasting/ordering discipline (whether purchasing decisions are demand-driven or habit-driven).

Why It Matters

Inventory sitting on the books ties up working capital that could otherwise fund growth, reduce interest-bearing debt, or simply improve cash cushion — and it carries real carrying costs (storage, insurance, obsolescence risk, capital cost) that many businesses don't explicitly calculate. A business with ₹2 Cr in genuinely slow-moving stock is effectively holding ₹2 Cr of unproductive capital, often while simultaneously drawing on expensive working capital credit lines.

Assessment Framework / The 5 Dimensions

Scored across 5 critical dimensions.

01

Inventory turnover ratio — benchmarked against sector norms

02

Slow-moving and obsolete stock — value and age of items with no clear sale path

03

Stockout frequency — whether fast-moving items run out, indicating the opposite problem

04

Forecasting and ordering discipline — demand-driven vs. habit-driven purchasing

05

Carrying cost awareness — whether storage, insurance, and capital cost of inventory are tracked
