INTRODUCTION
Capital structure is the most significant discipline of companys operations. Capital
structure represents the total long-term investment in a business firm. It includes
funds raised through ordinary shares, preference shares, bonds, debentures and term
loans from financial institutions, etc. Decision regarding the type of capital structure
of a company should play a critical role since capital has impacts on profitability and
solvency. Small companies often do not plan their capital structure; the capital
structure is allowed to develop without any formal planning. These companies may
do well in the short run; however, sooner or later they face considerable difficulties.
The unplanned capital structure does not permit a fiscal use of the funds for the
company, irrespective of its size. A company should therefore plan its capital
structure in such a way that it derives maximum advantage out of it and should easily
adjust to the changing conditions. The determination of an optimum capital structure
in practice is a formidable task, and has to go beyond the theory. A number of factors
influence the capital structure decision of a company. The judgment of the person or
group of persons making the capital structure decision plays a crucial role. Two
similar companies may have different capital structures, if the decision makers differ
in their judgment about the significance of various factors.
The Indian textile industry is one of the largest in the world with a massive raw
material and textile manufacturing base. Our economy is largely dependent on the
textile manufacturing and trade in addition to other major industries. It is second
largest in the world next to China. The Indian textile industry contributes to nearly 12
percent of Indias forex earnings. This is the only industry which has been posting
growth graph year after year. Though India is self-sufficient in textile industry, the
countrys share in the world market is a just four percent compared to 35 percent of
China. India needs to focus on scaling operation if this scenario has to change. It can
be achieved only through investments in the mega Textile Park, which can then be
single point manufacturing and disbursing centers for export needs. This can also be
a safe revenue model for the countrys textile needs. As of Indias position in the
global textile value chain, the numbers are impressive. India hosts roughly 25 percent
of the global spinning capacity. India produces 20 percent of global cotton supply
both for domestic use and for export. The country ranks number two in the global
textile and apparel exports. Above 27 percent of the foreign exchange earnings are on
account of exports of textiles and clothing alone. The textile industry accounts for 21
percent of the total employment generated in the economy.
The textile sector is highly diverse and has hand-spun and hand- woven segments
at one end of the spectrum, and capital intensive sophisticated modern mills on the
other.

spinning, weaving and processing activities are carried out under a single roof. These
organised units are mostly independent and small scale in nature unlike the composite
units that undertake all activities together.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Source of information
The study is based on secondary data. The main source of data is from Capitaline Plus
database; it has detailed financial and non-financial information of about 15,000 listed
and unlisted companies, annual reports of the sample unit and to supplement the data
different publications, various books, journals and different websites related to textile
industry have been used for better reliability.
Sampling
Ten textile companies are taken for the study. They are Ambika Cotton Mills Limited,
Banswara Syntex Limited, Bannari Amman Spinning Mills, Bombay Rayon Fashion
Limited, Century Enka Limited, Kitex Garments Limited, KPR Mill Limited,
Mandhana Industries, Nitin Spinners Limited and Page Industries Limited. All ten
companies taken for the study are listed in the both Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)
and National Stock Exchange (NSE) with a market capitalisation over 100 Crores.
The study carries all the limitations inherent with the secondary data and financial
information.
The study restricted to selected companies for the period of ten years only.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Modigliani and Miller Approach (1958) according to them MM hypothesis is based
on the idea that no matter how you divide up the capital structure of a firm among
debt, equity, and other claim, there is a conservation of investment value. The total pie
does not change as it is divided into debt, equity, and other securities. The sum of the
parts must equal the whole; so regardless of financing mix, the total value of the firm
stays the same.
Anshu Handoo and Kapil Sharma (2009) conducted a research on A study on
determinants of capital structure in India they observed that, the trade off a company
makes between financial flexibility and fiscal discipline is the most important
consideration in determining its capital structure and far outweighs any tax benefits,
which are negligible for most large companies unless they have extremely low debt.
Hypotheses based on comparing the relationships between short term debt, long term
debt, and total debt and 10 explanatory variables that represent profitability, growth,
asset tangibility, size, cost of debt, liquidity, financial distress, tax rate debt serving
capacity, and age were developed to test which independent variable best explained
the capital structure of Indian companies.
Zhenting Lee, Shuting Liang and Anton Miglo (2014) in their study on Capital
structure of internet companies analysed that large internet companies usually have
low debt and small internet companies have high debt. They found that the trade-off
theory of capital structure, pecking order theory, market timing theory and other
theories cannot individually determine a firms capital structure and their use of
sources of financing accurately, but can complement each other.
Mubeen Mujahid and Kalsoom Akhtar (2014) conducted a study on Impact of
Capital structure on firms financial performance and shareholders wealth: Textile
sector of Pakistan concluded that the Capital structure of the firms have the
significant positive impact on the Firms Financial Performance and Shareholders
wealth. They have done the regression analysis on 6 years data from 2006 to 2011 of
Overall textile sector including 155 firms to analyze the impact of Capital structure on
the Firms Financial Performance and Shareholders wealth in Textile sector of
Pakistan. They have used Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) ratios
as Firms performance measures to assess the impact of Capital structure on the Firms
financial performance and EPS ratio as shareholders wealth measure to check the
affiliation between Capital structure of the firms and their shareholders wealth.

The table 1 shows that the lower debt-equity ratio in Century Enka Limited and
Page Industries Limited provides the greater long term financial safety to its creditors
whereas other companies provide less protection to their creditors because of their
higher debt -equity ratio. The deviation is less in Century Enka Limited (0.25) which
is very good, whereas in KPR Mill Limited (2.33) it is too high. The ratio was more
consistent in term of dispersion for Banswara Syntex Limited (CV: 11.86) and less
consistent for KPR Mill Limited (CV: 130.79).The minimum debt- equity ratio is
maintained by Ambika Cotton Mills Limited and Century Enka limited in the year
2014. The maximum debt -equity is by KPR Mill Limited in the year 2005 and Kitex
Garments Limited in 2007.

FINDINGS
It can be observed from the analysis that Century Enka Limited and Page Industries
Limited provides a margin of safety to the creditors when compare to Nitin Spinners
Limited and Kitex Garments Limited. Page Industries Limited and Ambika Cotton
Mills Limited are efficient in managing the business affairs resulting in a good net
profit margin. The yield on capital, return on equity and earnings per share is high
with Page Industries Limited, when compare to all other companies. Century Enka
and Ambika Cotton Limited have efficiently managed its assets in generating the
companies earning. Net profit margin, return on capital employed, return on equity,
return on asset and earnings per share are negatively correlated.
SUGGESTION
The Indian textile industry should use more of internal source of financing to meet
their long term investment decision. If the company is being financed by its creditors
rather than from its own financial sources it might be a dangerous trend. It is

suggested that the financial analysts and managers should emphasize on the optimum
level of capital structure and efficient utilization and allocation of resources in order
to increase the companys financial performance based on capital structure.
CONCLUSION
The best measure of a company is its profitability, for without it, it cannot grow, and
if it doesnt grow, then its stock will trend downward. Increasing profits are the best
indication that a company can pay dividends and that the share price will trend
upward. Creditors will loan money at a cheaper rate to a profitable company than to
an unprofitable one; consequently, profitable companies can use leverage to increase
stockholders equity even more.
A company considered too highly leveraged (too much debt versus equity) may
find its freedom of action restricted by its creditors and/or may have its profitability
hurt as a result of paying high interest costs. Of course, the worst-case scenario would
be having trouble meeting operating and debt liabilities during periods of adverse
economic conditions. A company in a highly competitive business, if hobbled by high
debt, may find its competitors taking advantage of its problems to grab more market
share. Unfortunately, there is no magic proportion of debt that a company can take on.
A company's reasonable, proportional use of debt and equity to support its assets is a
key indicator of balance sheet strength. A healthy capital structure that reflects a low
level of debt and a corresponding high level of equity is a very positive sign of
investment quality.
