To simplify the process and see just the information needed the columns were deleted except date and closing rate. A column was added of the weekday in the data sheet and then the returns of equity and nifty were found by using the formula (Current dates price – Previous Dates price)/Previous date price * 100.

Weekly returns of Nifty = X
Weekly returns of ACC Ltd. Equity = Y

Y = a + bx
Where, Y is the dependent variable (ACC Ltd.)
X is the independent variable (Nifty)
a is the intercept,
b is the slope.

F = 0.50323
Significance = 0.455248646
R square = 0.0098

Positive sign means if Nifty50 increases ACC Ltd. also increases. If Nifty50 price rises by 1 unit, ACC Ltd. share price will fall by 0.020153036 and vice versa. No of observation are 48. T stat for b is -0.674721161and the P value is 0.503230174, suggest that the slope coefficient (0.020153036) is not statistically significant. R-squared is 0.0098, indicating that only a small percentage (0.098%) of the variability in ACC Ltd. returns is explained by the Nifty returns. Overall model is statistically insignificant at 5% level.
