Structural reforms and inventory management: Evidence from Indian industries

The study in its analysis on the effects of structural reforms on management of inventories in selected public and private sector industries in India, observed that on the basis of ratios in inventory management techniques, over investment still seems to prevail. Besides, the results of partial adjustment approach show that finished goods inventory and raw materials as a component of inventory, adjust faster to the desired level, than the inventory as a whole, for the selected industries under private limited companies in India.
