Of India Inc.
For corporates, the past
year has been anything but easy. First, the internet bubble continued to
burst, taking down with it telecom and software stocks. Then, old economy
companies—slammed by poor consumer demand—found themselves staring
into the abyss of a recession. The result: The BT 500’s top 10 companies
lost a staggering Rs 40,000 crore in market value over 1999-2000. Was
shareholder value lost? No doubt. Will shareholder value be regained? No
doubt, again.
The BT-500 Methodology
It’s no rocket science,
but pure (and lots of) number crunching. So, we let our able partner in
the project, CMIE, do that, while BT’s reporters focused on helping you
make sense of the numbers.
The BT-500 In Picture
A snapshot of the top
losers and gainers, sectoral stars, multinational fortunes, and how value
multiples differ across the spectrum. Plus, stock valuations that beat us,
and how the BT-500 top 10 fared in the first half of 2001-02. You’ll be
surprised.
The BT-500 List
Here’s a feast for the
numbers hungry. The complete BT-500 companies, including everything that
you wanted to know about your stock—its rankings sliced every which way—but
didn’t know who to ask.
