1. INTRODUCTION
Reliance Infrastructure Limited is a prominent Indian infrastructure company engaged in power generation, distribution, EPC projects, and transportation infrastructure. The company’s performance is influenced by macroeconomic conditions and overall stock market movements.
This study analyzes the relationship between the weekly returns of Reliance Infrastructure Limited and the NIFTY index using regression analysis to understand the company’s sensitivity to market movements.
2. OBJECTIVE
– To calculate the Beta (β) of Reliance Infrastructure Limited
– To examine the relationship between NIFTY returns and Reliance Infrastructure returns
– To test the statistical significance of the regression model
3. DATA COLLECTION
The study uses secondary data consisting of weekly return data of Reliance Infrastructure Limited and the NIFTY index. A total of 28 observations were analyzed using regression analysis in Microsoft Excel.
4. LITERATURE REVIEW
Existing literature suggests that infrastructure sector stocks are sensitive to market movements due to their capital-intensive nature and dependence on economic growth. Studies by financial researchers highlight the importance of beta in measuring systematic risk and market responsiveness of firms.
5. DATA ANALYSIS
Regression Equation:
y = 0.4263x – 0.0105
Where:
y = Weekly Return of Reliance Infrastructure Limited
x = Weekly Return of NIFTY
Number of Observations = 28
R² = 0.0274
This indicates that approximately 2.7% of the variation in Reliance Infrastructure returns is explained by NIFTY returns.
Since the p-value of β is greater than 0.05, the beta is statistically insignificant, suggesting weak dependence on NIFTY movements.
6. CONCLUSION
The beta value of Reliance Infrastructure Limited is less than 1, indicating lower sensitivity to market movements. However, the regression results show that the relationship between NIFTY returns and Reliance Infrastructure returns is weak and statistically insignificant during the study period
