Abstract: This study attempts to understand the hedging practices of Indian companies and comprehend their hedging effectiveness methods by conducting in-depth interviews with 30 treasurers of Indian companies. The study further evaluates the effectiveness of the forwards, which is the most used derivatives contract by these companies. The results identify the one-month forwards as the most effective derivative instrument for managing the currency risk which the treasurers of the companies facing this risk should use. In the wake of rising importance and stress on evaluating the effectiveness of hedging, these results are useful for the treasurers of the companies and the policy makers to understand and identify better models for measuring hedging effectiveness.
