Abstract
There is conflicting evidence on the applicability of Capital Asset Pricing Model in the Indian stock market . Data for 158 stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange was analysed using a number of tests from 1991 to 2002, the period which roughly coincides with the period after liberalization and initiation of capital market reforms. Taken in aggregate the various empirical tests show that CAPM is not valid for the Indian stock market for the period studied.
An investment in knowledge pay the best interest.
