Abstract

The primary motive behind conducting this research is to examine the financial distress of fertilizer companies in India. The research has been done on twelve BSE-listed fertilizer companies during the years 2010-11 to 2019-20. This study has employed Altman’s Z-score model to ascertain the economic strength of the sample fertilizer companies. The outcome shows that most of the companies are not financially healthy.
