| This study examined the empirical validity of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in the Indian Capital Market by using the data from 70 companies listed in the BSE 100 Index. To test the validity of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the study used Black, Jensen and Scholes (1972) Methodology and examined the relation between systematic risk and return. From the analysis it was found that there was linear relationship between beta and return and CAPM was validated during the study period. Further, the study conducted the test of SML and the test of Non-Linearity and found that beta was linearly related and the data showed weakness in explaining the postulates of CAPM. |
