The capital structure of Havell's India Limited is one having a low debt-equity ratio. In fact it has been reducing its debt component over the last few years. This is more of a trend in the engineering sector where other companies like BHEL or kirloskar electric Equipment have also been doing the same. There are few which are exception to this scenario like T I L Limited. The present debt-equity ratio of the industry is 0.37 and it was 0.51 two years ago . The possible reason can be that these sectors feel that they don't need these long-term obligations as they have large Reserve and Surplus fund.
