Established in 1998, Adani Ports has expanded from a single port at Mundra, Gujarat, to a network of ports across India\u2019s eastern and western coasts. The company handles a diverse mix of cargo including containers, coal, crude oil, and fertilizers, and plays a strategic role in strengthening India\u2019s global trade connectivity. With a focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, Adani Ports continues to drive India\u2019s maritime growth and supply chain integration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Objectives:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Calculation of Beta of Adani Ports and observe its significance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Literature Review:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Research on the relationship between stock returns and market indices such as Nifty 50 emphasizes the importance of beta as a measure of systematic risk. Prior studies indicate that beta reflects a stock\u2019s sensitivity to overall market movements, where a higher beta implies greater volatility and risk. In the context of infrastructure and logistics companies, beta often tends to be greater than one, suggesting that such stocks respond more aggressively to market fluctuations due to their dependence on economic cycles and trade volumes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Another stream of research focusing on Indian port and logistics companies highlights that firms like Adani Ports are influenced by macroeconomic conditions, global trade trends, and policy developments. Studies have shown that these companies exhibit a strong positive correlation with market indices, reflecting their cyclical nature. Therefore, analysing Adani Ports\u2019 beta with respect to Nifty 50 helps investors understand how market changes impact the company\u2019s returns and aids in portfolio diversification decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Data Collection:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Historical data of Adani Ports and Nifty 50 was downloaded from nseindia.com and Friday closing prices were calculated; weekly returns of Nifty 50 were taken as X and weekly return of Adani Ports taken as Y.

The positive coefficient indicates a positive relationship between Nifty50 returns and Adani Ports returns. This means that when the Nifty50 return increases by 1 unit, the Adani Ports return increases by approximately 1.271 units and vice versa. T stat for Beta (\u03b2) is 5.428337092 and the corresponding p-value is 0.00000206, which is Less than 0.05. Hence Beta is statistically significant, implying that the weekly return of Nifty does have statistically significant impact on the return on Adani Ports at the 0.0002% level. The R-square value is 0.390460793, which means that only 39.04% of the variation in Adani Ports returns is explained by Nifty returns while the remaining 60.96% variation is due to other factors. The F-statistic is 29.466 with a p-value of 0.0002 which is again less than 0.05 indicating that the overall regression model is statistically significant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;color: black\">Conclusion:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;color: black\">Since the Beta value (1.271) is greater than 1, the stock moves more than the market. So, it is good for short-term investment when the market is rising, but it is riskier when the market falls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;color: black\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;color: black\">Reference:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 115%\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;color: black\">Pandey, I.
