The norm for the current ratio in FMCG industry is 2:1. The current ratio of HLL is almost equal to 1:1, which is less than the norm. On an average, for every rupee of current liability, HLL has Rs. 1.069 of current assets. The current ratio can be better judged if it is studied along with ratios such as inventory turnover and receivables turnover.
The higher the receivables and inventory turnover, greater the firm's ability to pay its current liabilities. Generally, a low current ratio indicates the firm's inability to meet its current obligations. But a high current ratio may represent unnecessary blocking of liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents.
