METHODOLOGY
Eicher Motors grew from a
$854m market-cap company to
a $5.7bn enterprise
The objective of the study
was to identify the sectors that
created or destroyed wealth
during the four-year period (Nov
5, 2010 to Nov 5, 2014)
8 sectors outperformed the
Nifty | Healthcare, consumer,
automobiles, cement,
technology, private sector
banks, retail, and textiles
Nov 5, 2010 was chosen as the
starting date for our analysis, as
on this day the sensex scaled its
last closing peak before going
into a nearly 3-year hiatus
12 sectors gave positive
returns | Healthcare, consumer,
automobiles, cement,
technology, private
sector banks, retail, textiles,
chemicals & fertilizers,
NBFCs, telecom, and oil & gas
To arrive at our top-20
lists, within the BSE-500, we
restricted our choice to the
companies that had a minimum
market capitalization of Rs 2,000
crore as of Nov 2010 and Rs 500
crore as of November 2014.
Tech and healthcare gained
majorly from a weakening
rupee against the dollar
