ABSTRACT
Capital structure is one of the most important area of financial decision making. In this study we
attempt to examine capital structure and its impact on financial performance of selected Indian steel
Industry during 2007 to 2012. Multiple regression model, correlation matrix, ANOVA and descriptive
statistics are performed for the study. We computed OPM, ROA, ROE and ROCE as a indicator of
financial performance (dependent variables) and capital structure (TDER, TADR, ICR and FDR) as a
independent variables. The result of multiple regression and ANOVA indicated that there is a significant
impact of capital structure on financial performance of Indian steel Industry. Correlation results
confirmed that there is negative relationship between capital structure and financial performance. The
result of the study may guide creditors, companies and policy makers to formulate better policy decision.
Keyword: Capital Structure, Financial Performance, Profitability, Steel, Indian Steel Industry.
INTRODUCTION
Steel is very important for development of any economy in the present day. It is a foundation of
human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel in any country is considered as a critical
key factor for development of socio-economic and standard of living of the people. Indian steel industry
is important for growth of the country's economic. It is play significant role in traditional sectors, such as
transportation , constructions, automobile, industrial applications etc.
Effective management of finance is vital for the success of any company. According to John and
Mayor financial structure of a business as consisting three elements assets, liabilities and capital. The
financial structure provides an insight into the various types of sources tapped to finance the total assets
employed in a business enterprise that part of financial which represents long term sources is known as
capital structure.16

Table No. 5 presents the data findings on the OPM regression model. According to the table the
findings indicated that the intercept was 58.554, that is, when all the factors are equated to zero the OPM
will be 58.554, while the coefficients for TDER will be 2.704, TADR proportion -1.69, ICR proportion
0.071 and FDR proportion -71.462.
OPM= 58.554 + 2.704TDER - 1.69TADR + 0.071ICR - 71.462FDR + e
According to the model, an increase in the level of TDER brings about a 2.704 increase in OPM,
it implying that an increase in the TDER is associated with increase in profitability. An increase in the
TADR on the other hand leads to an decrease of -1.69 in OPM. The model further shows that an increase
in ICR brings about a increase of 0.071 in OPM. This depicts that increase in ICR influence OPM thus
profitability positively. An increase in FDR brings 71.462 decrease in OPM. This can be explained by the
fact that FDR are relatively expensive and thus employing high proportions of them could lead to low
profitability.
