Abstract
Capital structure is a crucial component of financial management with enduring implications. This study investigates the impact of capital structure on the financial performance of infrastructure companies in India. Using nine top infrastructure companies for the period 2009-2019, we examine the relationship between debt-equity ratio and return on equity. Our results, based on ordinary least squares regression analysis, indicate that financial leverage has no significant impact on the firm’s financial performance parameters of return on equity. This finding has implications for financial managers, policymakers, and investors seeking to optimize capital structure and enhance financial performance.
