Sales ÷ total assets: how many rupees of sales each rupee of assets produces.
A worked example
Sales of ₹3,000 Cr on assets of ₹2,000 Cr is a turnover of 1.5. A retailer can reach 3; a power plant, which needs huge assets, may show 0.3.
Why does Asset turnover matter?
Higher means the business gets more sales out of what it owns.
How do you read Asset turnover?
Compare within a sector. Retailers run high, power companies low.
Higher is usually better.
