Abstract
This paper studies the corporate governance and disclosure practices of firms listed in Indian stock market. The study has taken nine sectors into consideration – Auto, Capital Goods, Consumer Durables, FMCG, Health Care, Oil & Gas, Metal, and Power along with IT. A comparative analysis was used to segregate these sectors into high capital intensity and low capital intensity sectors. Prior research in US found that capital intensity of firms is negatively correlated with governance practices. This study aims to establish a relationship, if any, between capital intensity of firms and their corporate governance practices in Indian context. After thorough empirical research, the paper explains why Indian scenario is different from US.
