Abstract:

The case brings to the fore that some Indian companies have accumulated huge cash balances on their books in 2011. These huge cash balances could be accumulated for some strategic requirements in the future. The total cash balances accumulated by 100 companies in BSE–500 accounted for 93% of market capitalization of BSE-500 shares.

The companies which held huge cash balances included bigwigs like Tata Motors with Rs. 109479.3 million, Infosys with Rs. 150,900 million, and Reliance Industries with Rs. 301,390.3 million. The cash was invested in short-term instruments, but the companies had a strong reason for keeping such cash pile.
