DLF is India's largest real estate developer, founded in 1946. It develops residential, commercial, and retail projects across India. To manage its working capital during the 2008 economic slowdown, DLF adopted several strategies: timely project deliveries to generate cash flow; exiting long gestation projects; postponing other projects; and raising funds through asset sales. These strategies helped DLF maintain adequate liquidity to meet obligations and extend supplier credit terms. DLF's working capital management enabled it to weather economic turmoil while continuing to grow its business over the long term.
