M.B.A. Project: ‘Toexamine the stock market response tothe nuclear treaty signed by India and US’.
Project was executed by using event study methodology and applying Fama French Model. The conclusion shows that there is very
littleeffect of indo-US nuclear treaty as Indian industry is y et getting geared up for nuclear power plants. The major play ers
working in the sector of nuclear power plant are v ery few in India and ar e mainly dependent on the technology abroad.
B.E. Project: Structural modifications in raising hearth furnace at CGL, Mumbai as in -plant trainee.
Optimization of furnacefootprint,reduction of thermallosses for holding Al-alloys and in-situ modification of molten Al-alloy s.
