The operating cash flows of BSE 500 firms have experienced a significant slowdown due to weak revenue traction and broader economic challenges.
In the September quarter, these companies, excluding fertilisers and oil marketing firms, saw a year-on-year revenue growth of less than 10%, as estimated by leading brokerages.
The first half of FY2025 has shown a noticeable decline in operating cash flows, indicating a consistent trend of moderation in financial performance.
This decline in cash flow is a crucial indicator of the overall health of the corporate sector, suggesting that many firms are facing difficulties in the current economic environment.
