We examine here the influence of working capital management components on corporate profitability considering the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) as the case domain. NTPC is the largest energy conglomerate in the Indian subcontinent with the roots planted way back in 1975 for accelerating power development in India. It was awarded as the Maharatna Company in 2010 which attained the rank 512th in the 2018 Forbes Global 2000 ranking of the World’s biggest companies. In this paper several problems have been discussed simultaneously and the probable solutions for getting rid of these problems have also been highlighted. These solutions amongst others include, opening of coal mines sector to private players to accelerate efficiency, investing more in renewable energy projects, opening up distribution sectors to private players so as to increase competition, stringent laws against power theft and greater implementation of these laws, judicious use of CAPEX and proper usage of capital budgeting techniques before execution.
