The study aimed the factors determining the capital structure of firm characters and macro-economic characters of manufacturing firms in India. The study is confined 39 firms listed in NSE 50 index. The study has confined cross section and time series nature and has analyzed the dynamic panel data with GMM model. The study find a significant association between leverage changes and change in assets changes (tangibility), firm size, non-debt tax shield, growth, GDP and business risk. However, there is no significant difference in the association between leverage and liquidity and profitability throughout the sample period. For instance, the link between leverage and firms size is stronger significant factor because can availed more external funding sources with the support of firms size. The study findings also suggest that companies with firms specific characters changed their capital structures more quickly toward long-term leverage position within a short span of period. GDP growth has positive, significant influence towards capital structure; it means positive economic environment characterized by an increase in GDP allows companies to adjust their capital structure more quickly. The results show that the leverage, implying Indian corporate may face higher external financing costs and adjustment costs when they need to raise funds.
