Journal Title: IMPACT : International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature ( IMPACT : IJRHAL ) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Financial leverage refers to the use of debt capital in the total capital structure of a business concern. This study examined the relationship between financial leverage and profitability in Indian Steel Industry. Two leading steel manufacturing companies- Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) and Tata Steel Limited- were selected for the study purpose. This study used secondary sources of information such as Annual Reports of selected companies. It was found in this study that there was a highly negative correlation between financial leverage and profitability in Indian Steel Industry. Hence, Indian Steel Industry needs to reduce its debt capital in order to increase its profitability.
