The ten years have been particularly selected to have a comparative analysis of stock market prices before 2015 and after 2015. In the year 2015, India was the top fourth country in the world among the top climate change-affected countries. Hence studying the stock market prices of the FMCG industry before and after 2015 assesses the impact of climate on the financial condition of the country. Sun, Xu and You, (2022)1 on studying the relationship between physical climate change exposure and stock market returns find that climate change exposure of listed companies and stock market returns are interrelated to each other.
