Abstract: This paper provides the overview of corporate governance practices in India by providing the institutional background that paved the way for recent corporate governance reforms and practices since early 2000. We present the current status of various dimensions of corporate governance structure by using a sample of CNX 500 companies which are top listed companies of Indian corporate sector trading on National Stock Exchange. The paper explores the features of corporate governance practices in Indian firms by focusing specifically on ownership structure and concentration, board of directors and its practices, corporate social responsibility, market for corporate control and finally relationship between corporate governance and firm performance. The paper aims to provide our readers an overall picture of corporate governance and starting points for future research in different facets of corporate governance.
