Abstract
An unknown disease (COVID-19) is spreading globally, impacting people and economies very negatively. The virus, which was first discovered in a small part of China in December 2019, has since grown fast across more than 175 countries. The virus is very contagious, thus in order to stop it, certain measures have been put in place, such as a national shutdown, air traffic control, and the wearing of masks, avoidance of crowded locations, class contact conversations, and frequent hand sanitization. The virus also affected the India as a whole and also whole Indian economy. The main objective of this research paper was to study risk and return of pharmaceutical companies during covid -19 . The paper covers the statistical analysis of returns given by pharma companies during covid -19 and relationship has been found out between nifty and selected pharma companies and nifty and pharma index empirical analysis has been done using mark owitzs model by calculating risk, return , beta and correlation.it has been found that the co-relation of all selected companies are positive so it indicates that there is a positive relationship between Nifty and Pharmaceutical companies. Out of five companies Auro Pharma has more co-relation with Nifty Index. Based on the data collected during COVID-19, it is clear that the pharmaceutical industry and the Indian stock market have a close and mutually beneficial relationship. Further evidence of a co-movement relationship is provided by this result, which shows that the two variables move in tandem. During COVID-19, the pharmaceutical industry will feel the effects of stock market corrections just as sharply.
