Current Issues In Indian Capital Market

Bhavin S. Shah

Abstract :

The capital market is the market for securities, where companies and governments can raise long–term funds. Selling stock and selling bonds are two ways to generate capital and long term funds. Thus bond markets and stock markets are considered capital markets. The capital markets consist of the primary market, where new issues are distributed to investors, and the secondary market, where existing securities are traded. The Indian Equity Markets and the Indian Debt markets together form the Indian Capital markets. The Indian Equity Market depends mainly on monsoons, global funds flowing into equities and the performance of various companies. The Indian Equity Market is almost wholly dominated by two major stock exchanges –National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE) and The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The benchmark indices of the two exchanges – Nifty of NSE and Sensex of BSE are closely followed. The two exchanges also have an F&O (Futures and options) segment for trading in equity derivatives including the indices. The major players in the Indian Equity Market are Mutual Funds, Financial Institutions and FIIs representing mainly Venture Capital Funds and Private Equity Funds.
