| Description |
The steel sector is one of the sectors playing most crucial role in the development of a nation and is considered as the backbone of civilization. The Indian steel industry has entered a new development stage since 2007-2008 and is riding on the resurgent economy and the growing demand for steel. India’s 33 percent growth in steel production in the last five years was second only to China among the top five steel producing nations (World Steel Association - WSA). The research study focuses on evaluating the determinants and the combination of capital structure of selected steel companies in India for a period of 10 years from 2004-2005 to 2013-2014 to find out the optimum capital structure to maximize profits in the steel industry in India. The correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis methods were adopted to carry out the study.
