Investors all over the world have been in search of a model that can help them in estimating the parity between risk and return relationship which paved the way for the models like CAPM, Conditional CAPM, multi factor CAPM model with different firm specific factors, Arbitrage Pricing Theory and various other modified versions of the same. The traditional theories however have been time and again criticised for being too simple and ignoring an important aspect which is very much evident in the emerging stock markets that is the Behavioural factor. The study tested applicability of APT in the Indian context using monthly data for the period January 2000 to December 2018. Factor analysis and Fama-Macbeth regression technique has been used to find out applicability of APT in the Indian context. Results were found to be partially suited towards the applicability of the APT in estimating the risk return parity of the 500 stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
