- Other current liabilities experienced a sharp decline from 8.7% in 2013 to 0.68% in 2018, with a significant drop between 2015 and 2016. This reflects a substantial reduction in miscellaneous short-term obligations.

- Non-current borrowings increased from 32.04% in 2013 to a peak of 39.9% in 2016, then decreased to 34.31% by 2018. This indicates considerable reliance on long-term debt, with an overall upward trend until mid-period followed by a moderate reduction.
