ABSTRACT
The Indian stock market is considered to be one of the earliest in Asia, which is
in operation since 1875. However, it remained largely outside the global integration
process until 1991. A number of developing countries in association with the
International Finance Corporation and the World Bank took steps to establish and
revitalize their stock markets as an effective way of mobilizing and allocation of funds.
In line with the global trend, reform of the Indian stock market also started with the
establishment of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), although it became
more effective after the stock market scam in 1991. With the establishment of SEBI and
technological advancement Indian stock market has now reached the global standard.
The major indicators of stock market development show that significant development
has taken in the Indian stock market during the post-reform period.
This paper seeks to examine in this context whether reform in the Indian stock
market has led to integration with the developed stock markets in the world. The study
finds that contrary to general belief, Indian stock market is not co-integrated with the
developed market as yet. Of course, some short-term impact does exist, although it is
found to be unidirectional for obvious reasons. That is to say, the developed stock
markets, viz. USA, UK and Hong Kong stock markets Granger cause the India stock
market but not vice versa. However, the study does not find any causality between the
Japanese stock market and Indian stock market. It is derived from the study that
although some positive steps have been taken up, which are responsible for the
substantial improvement of the Indian stock market, these are perhaps not sufficient
enough to become a matured one and hence not integrated with the developed stock
markets so far.

Introduction to Stock Market of
India

1.1 THE STOCK MARKET INDUSTRY
Mark Twain (an American writer) once divided the world into two kinds of people: those who
have seen the famous Indian monument, the Taj Mahal, and those who haven't. The same could be said
about investors. There are two kinds of investors: those who know about the investment opportunities
in India and those who don't. India may look like a small dot to someone in the U.S., but upon closer
inspection, you will find the same things you would expect from any promising market. Here we'll
provide an overview of the Indian stock market and how interested investors can gain exposure.
The BSE and NSE
Most of the trading in the Indian stock market takes place on its two stock exchanges: the Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The BSE has been in existence since
1875. The NSE, on the other hand, was founded in 1992 and started trading in 1994. However, both
exchanges follow the same trading mechanism, trading hours, settlement process, etc. At the last
count, the BSE had about 5,500 listed firms, whereas the rival NSE had about 1,600. Out of all the
listed firms on the BSE, only about 500 firms constitute more than 90% of its market capitalization;
the rest of the crowd consists of highly illiquid shares.
Almost all the significant firms of India are listed on both the exchanges. NSE enjoys a dominant
share in spot trading, with about 70% of the market share, as of 2009, and almost a complete
monopoly in derivatives trading, with about a 98% share in this market, also as of 2009. Both
exchanges compete for the order flow that leads to reduced costs, market efficiency and innovation.
The presence of arbitrageurs keeps the prices on the two stock exchanges within a very tight range.
8. CREATION OF NEW FRANCHISE & IT’S PROCESS (BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT) 8
Settlement Cycle and Trading Hours
Equity spot markets follow a T+2 rolling settlement. This means that any trade taking place on
Monday gets settled by Wednesday. All trading on stock exchanges takes place between 9:55 am and
3:30 pm, Indian Standard Time (+ 5.5 hours GMT), Monday through Friday. Delivery of shares must
be made in dematerialized form, and each exchange has its own clearing house, which assumes all
settlement risk, by serving as a central counterparty.
Trading Mechanism
Trading at both the exchanges takes place through an open electronic limit order book, in which
order matching is done by the trading computer. There are no market makers or specialists and the
entire process is order-driven, which means that market orders placed by investors are automatically
matched with the best limit orders. As a result, buyers and sellers remain anonymous. The advantage
of an order driven market is that it brings more transparency, by displaying all buy and sell orders in
the trading system. However, in the absence of market makers, there is no guarantee that orders will be
executed.
All orders in the trading system need to be placed through brokers, many of which provide online
trading facility to retail customers. Institutional investors can also take advantage of the direct market
access (DMA) option, in which they use trading terminals provided by brokers for placing orders
directly into the stock market trading system.
Market Indexes
The two prominent Indian market indexes are Sensex and Nifty. Sensex is the oldest market index
for equities; it includes shares of 30 firms listed on the BSE, which represent about 45% of the index's
free-float market capitalization. It was created in 1986 and provides time series data from April 1979,
onward. Another index is the S&P CNX Nifty; it includes 50 shares listed on the NSE, which represent
about 62% of its free-float market capitalization. It was created in 1996 and provides time series data
from July 1990, onward.
9. CREATION OF NEW FRANCHISE & IT’S PROCESS (BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT) 9
Market Regulation
The overall responsibility of development, regulation and supervision of the stock market rests
with the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which was formed in 1992 as an independent
authority. Since then, SEBI has consistently tried to lay down market rules in line with the best market
practices. It enjoys vast powers of imposing penalties on market participants, in case of a breach.
Who Can Invest In India?
India started permitting outside investments only in the 1990s. Foreign investments are classified
into two categories: foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign portfolio investment (FPI). All
investments, in which an investor takes part in the day-to-day management and operations of the
company, are treated as FDI, whereas investments in shares without any control over management and
operations are treated as FPI.
For making portfolio investment in India, one should be registered either as a foreign institutional
investor (FII) or as one of the sub-accounts of one of the registered FIIs. Both registrations are granted
by the market regulator, SEBI. Foreign institutional investors mainly consist of mutual funds, pension
funds, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, banks, asset management
companies etc. At present, India does not allow foreign individuals to invest directly into its stock
market. However, high-net-worth individuals (those with a net worth of at least $US50 million) can be
registered as sub-accounts of an FII.
Foreign institutional investors and their sub accounts can invest directly into any of the stocks
listed on any of the stock exchanges. Most portfolio investments consist of investment in securities in
the primary and secondary markets, including shares, debentures and warrants of companies listed or
to be listed on a recognized stock exchange in India. FIIs can also invest in unlisted securities outside
stock exchanges, subject to approval of the price by the Reserve Bank of India. Finally, they can invest
in units of mutual funds and derivatives traded on any stock exchange.
10. CREATION OF NEW FRANCHISE & IT’S PROCESS (BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT) 10
An FII registered as a debt-only FII can invest 100% of its investment into debt instruments. Other
FIIs must invest a minimum of 70% of their investments in equity. The balance of 30% can be
invested in debt. FIIs must use special non-resident rupee bank accounts, in order to move money in
and out of India. The balances held in such an account can be fully repatriated.
Restrictions/Investment Ceilings
The government of India prescribes the FDI limit and different ceilings have been prescribed for
different sectors. Over a period of time, the government has been progressively increasing the ceilings.
FDI ceilings mostly fall in the range of 26-100%.
By default, the maximum limit for portfolio investment in a particular listed firm is decided by the
FDI limit prescribed for the sector to which the firm belongs. However, there are two additional
restrictions on portfolio investment. First, the aggregate limit of investment by all FIIs, inclusive of
their sub-accounts in any particular firm, has been fixed at 24% of the paid-up capital. However, the
same can be raised up to the sector cap, with the approval of the company's boards and shareholders.
Secondly, investment by any single FII in any particular firm should not exceed 10% of the paid-
up capital of the company. Regulations permit a separate 10% ceiling on investment for each of the
sub-accounts of an FII, in any particular firm. However, in case of foreign corporations or individuals
investing as a sub-account, the same ceiling is only 5%. Regulations also impose limits for investment
in equity-based derivatives trading on stock exchanges.
11. CREATION OF NEW FRANCHISE & IT’S PROCESS (BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT) 11
Investment Opportunities for Retail Foreign Investors
Foreign entities and individuals can gain exposure to Indian stocks through institutional investors.
Many India-focused mutual funds are becoming popular among retail investors. Investments could
also be made through some of the offshore instruments, like participatory notes (PNs) and depositary
receipts, such as American depositary receipts (ADRs), global depositary receipts (GDRs), and
exchange traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs). As per Indian regulations,
participatory notes representing underlying Indian stocks can be issued offshore by FIIs, only to
regulated entities. However, even small investors can invest in American depositary receipts
representing the underlying stocks of some of the well-known Indian firms, listed on the New York
Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. ADRs are denominated in dollars and subject to the regulations of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Likewise, global depositary receipts are listed on
European stock exchanges. However, many promising Indian firms are not yet using ADRs or GDRs
to access offshore investors.
Retail investors also have the option of investing in ETFs and ETNs, based on Indian stocks. India
ETFs mostly make investments in indexes made up of Indian stocks. Most of the stocks included in the
index are the ones already listed on NYSE and NASDAQ. As of 2009, the two most prominent ETFs
based on Indian stocks are the Wisdom-Tree India Earnings Fund (NYSE: EPI) and the Power Shares
India Portfolio Fund (NYSE:PIN). The most prominent ETN is the MSCI India Index Exchange
Traded Note (NYSE:INP). Both ETFs and ETNs provide good investment opportunity for outside
investors.
Emerging markets like India are fast becoming engines for future growth. Currently, only a very
low percentage of the household savings of Indians are invested in the domestic stock market, but with
GDP growing at 7-8% annually and a stable financial market, we might see more money joining the
race. Maybe it's the right time for outside investors to seriously think about joining the India
bandwagon.

Industry Profile
31. CREATION OF NEW FRANCHISE & IT’S PROCESS (BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT) 31
3.1 OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRY AS A FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT
Indian stock markets have been a very good role during the past five years. Still general public
prefers putting it money in bank, rather than putting it in stock. Within Indian economy doing so well,
return from stock market have been far higher than return from any other investment.
Most of people are reluctant to put their money in shares, because of uncertainty of the return. At
times stock market is so volatile that it becomes very difficult for investors to decide whether to
purchase some more stocks or sell them, whether to enter the market or book profit. With so much
uncertainty prevailing, the case of investing in stock market is totally different from the case of
investing in some other places.
3.1.1 MARKET SEGMENT:
The financial market has two interdependent segments:
The primary
The secondary market
The primary market is the channel for creation of new securities. These securities are issued by
public limited companies or by government agencies. In the primary market the resources are
mobilized either through the public issue or through private placement route. It is a public issue if
anybody and everybody can subscribe for it, whereas if the issue is made available to a selected group
of persons it is termed as private placement. There are two major types of issuers of securities:
The corporate entities who issue mainly debt
Equity instruments
The government (central as well as state)
These new securities issued in the primary market are traded in the secondary market. The
secondary market enables participants who hold securities to adjust their holdings in response to
changes in their assessment of risks and returns. The secondary market operates through two mediums,
namely, the over-the-counter (OTC) market and the exchange-traded market. OTC markets are
32. CREATION OF NEW FRANCHISE & IT’S PROCESS (BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT) 32
informal markets where trades are negotiated. Most of the trades in the government securities are in
the OTC market. All the spot trades where securities are traded for immediate delivery and payment
take place in the OTC market. The other option is to trade using the infrastructure provided by the
stock exchanges.
There are 23 exchanges in India and all of them follow a systematic settlement period. All the
trades taking place over a trading cycle (day=T) are settled together after a certain time (T+2 day). The
trades executed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are cleared and settled by a clearing
corporation. The clearing corporation acts as a counterparty and guarantees settlement.
NSE provides a formal trading platform for trading of a wide range of debt securities, including
government securities. A variant of the secondary market is the forward market, where securities are
traded for future delivery and payment. A variant of the forward market is Futures and options market.
Presently only two exchanges viz., NSE and Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) provides trading in the
derivatives of securities.
