RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction:
Research is one of the best instruments to identify the investing pattern of
consumer s to invest in various sectors & to study different sectors of Capital
market.
Definition:
“Research is careful inquiry or examination to discover new
information and relationship and to expand and to vary existing
knowledge.”
Research always starts with question or any problem and finds answer of
problem by using scientific method. It gives complete knowledge about any
problem or question.
Objective of Study (research):
Every study is conducted within for some specific purpose or to solve
some problem. When any research is conducted it has some primary objective
that helps to solve the main problem whereas a secondary objective helps to
solve peripheral problems. The primary and secondary objectives of this research
are:
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of carrying out this research is:--

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:
As no human being is perfect, it is not possible for anyone to make the
best or perfect report. Each person has some level of knowledge and is affected
by some uncontrollable factors within which he/she has to work. So, it might
possible that there can be some limitations in this report that may be due to my
knowledge level or some other factors.
According to me following limitations can be prevailing in my report:
Respondents might have felt hesitation in providing information related to
their age, income etc. So, there can be some data that might questionable
because of unwillingness of respondents to give right information.
Sample selected may not represent whole population, as sample size
selected is very small in proportion to population due to time and cost
constraints.
Even many of the respondents may give bias answer.
Research Design:
“Research design is the plan structure and strategy if investigation
conceived so as obtain answers to research question and to control
variance”
A research design is the master plan or model for the conduct of formal
investigation and survey. It is a specification of methods and procedures for
acquiring the information needs for solving the problem. It decides the source of
information and methods for gathering the data. A questionnaire and other forms
are tested to use the collection of data.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Exploratory Research
Descriptive Research
Casual Research
In the research study there is no perfect study to solve the problem. The
research design has broadly three categories as follow.
1. Exploratory Research
2. Descriptive Research
3. Casual Research
2. Descriptive Research:
I have used Descriptive Research Design for research purpose.
Descriptive research, also known as statistical research. It describes
data and characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied.
Descriptive research answers the questions who, what, where, when and
how. This study is complex and determines high degree scientific skill to study
the problem.
The description is used for frequencies, averages and other statistical
calculations. Often the best approach, prior to writing descriptive research, is to
conduct a survey investigation. Qualitative research often has the aim of
description and researchers may follow-up with examinations of why the
observations exist and what the implications of the findings are.
In short descriptive research deals with everything that can be counted and
studied.
In this report, I have used this Descriptive Research Design for
conducting survey on “Consumer s behavior for Investing in Equity Market
in Various Sectors”
Data Collection Method:
Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project,
and is often formalized through a data collection plan which often contains the
following data collection methods.
The source of data collection method is as follows.
Primary Data
Secondary Data
Primary Data:
Primary data means data collected directly from first-hand experience.
Means data collected for the first time by any researcher for any research use.
There are many methods of collecting primary data and the main methods
include:
Methods of collecting the primary data are:
Questionnaire method
Interviews method
Focus group interviews
Observation method
Case-studies method
Diaries method
I have used Questionnaire method for the Primary data collection for
the study.
Secondary Data:
Secondary data means data which are collected by any one for a
particular research purpose and which are used by others for different purpose.
I have also used the secondary data for the study like some company
resources like broachers, websites etc.
Sampling Plan:
“Sampling is the process to analyze the whole population
by analyzing a part of it.”
The effectiveness of the report depends on the sample size selected from the
population.
Sampling Unit:
Here, target population is decided who are the actual and potential
consumer s, each sample has the chance to be selected on an equal basis & this
research has been conducted through surveying the whole of the equity market
of Delhi city
Sample Size:
For getting better result of the given problem I have to determine the
perfect sample size as on 90% confidence level which is calculated statically by
the given formula.
n = p*q (z /c) 2
Where,
n= sample size
p = percentage picking a choice (expressed as decimal)
q = (1 - p)
Z = Z value (e.g. 1.645 for 90% confidence level)
c = confidence interval, expressed as decimal
(e.g., 0.05 = ±5)
For Example:
p = 0.80 q = 0.20
z = 1.645 c = 0.05
n = p*q (z /c) 2
= 0.80*0.20 (1.645/0.05) 2
= 173.1856
= 175
Therefore, I used sample size is 175
Confidence interval:
In statistics, a confidence interval (CI) is a particular kind of interval
estimate of a population parameter. Instead of estimating the parameter by a
single value, an interval likely to include the parameter is given. Thus, confidence
intervals are used to indicate the reliability of an estimate.
The end points of the confidence interval are referred to as confidence
limits.
A confidence interval is always qualified by a particular confidence
level, usually expressed as a percentage.
The calculation of a confidence interval generally requires assumptions
about the nature of the estimation.
For example,
Here, I have used a confidence interval of 0.05 and 80% percent of
sample picks an answer is to be "sure" that if I had asked the question of the
entire relevant population between 80% (100-20) and 20% (100-80) would have
picked that answer.
Confidence level:
The confidence level tells you how sure you can be. It is expressed as a
percentage and represents how often the true percentage of the population who
would pick an answer lies within the confidence interval.
The confidence level associated with a confidence interval estimate is the
success rate of the method used to construct the interval.
The 90% confidence level means you can be 90% sure; When I put the
confidence level and the confidence interval together, I can say that I am 90%
sure that the true percentage of the population is between 20% and 80%.
So, I have taken 90% confidence level means I am 90% sure. As on
90% confidence level value of Z = 1.645
Here, I have calculated formula on the basis of 90% confidence level.
Sampling frame:
Sampling frame is the actual set of units from which a sample has been
drawn. In sampling frame, I have used simple random sampling method for
conducting survey. In a simple random sample ('SRS') all units from the sampling
frame have an equal chance to be drawn and to occur in the sample.
Here, I have used sampling frame as an actual and potential consumer s
from whole of the equity market of Delhi city and also from Share khan
Securities Pvt. Ltd. Here, each sample has the chance to be selected on an equal
basis because I have used simple random sampling method for surveying
purpose.
Response Rate:
The response rate was average.
I have used questionnaire method for the financial information of the
respondent, most of the people hesitated to provide the required information
and also the questionnaire contained some financial terms that were technical
in nature, which resulted into reduced response rate.
I have visited nearly 200 potential respondents, out of which only 175 gave
proper response.
Hence,
Response Rate = 175/200 = 87.5%
Data analysis tools:
I have used SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences)
for analysis purpose.
In that I have used Mean, Median, Mode, Frequency Table, and Cross
Tabulation, Graphical representation interpretation with each graphs and
charts.
Microsoft Office is used for data typing formatting and analyzing the data.

Stock Market
Stock markets refer to a market place where consumer s can buy and sell
stocks. The price at which each buying and selling transaction takes is
determined by the market forces (i.e. demand and supply for a particular stock).
A stock market is a public market for the trading of company stock and
derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as
well as those only traded privately.
The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion
USD at the beginning of October 2008.
The stock market is one of the most important sources for companies
to raise money. This allows businesses to be publicly traded, or raise additional
capital for expansion by selling shares of ownership of the company in a public
market.
In fact, the stock market is often considered the primary indicator of a
country's economic strength and development. Rising share prices, for instance,
tend to be associated with increased business investment and vice versa.
In this way, investing in stock market, the stock exchanges also play
importance role. Exchanges also act as the clearinghouse for each transaction,
meaning that they collect and deliver the shares, and guarantee payment to the
seller of a security. This eliminates the risk to an individual buyer or seller that the
counterparty could default on the transaction. So, here we also understand about
Stock Exchanges as follows.
Stock exchange
A stock exchange is an entity which provides "trading" facilities for stock
brokers and traders, to trade stocks and other securities.
Stock Exchanges are an organized marketplace, either corporation or
mutual organization, where members of the organization gather to trade company
stocks or other securities.
Stock exchanges also provide facilities for the issue and redemption of
securities as well as other financial instruments and capital events including the
payment of income and dividends.
The securities traded on a stock exchange include: shares issued by
companies, unit trusts, derivatives, pooled investment products and bonds. To be
able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there.
Usually there is a central location at least for recordkeeping, but trade is less and
less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are electronic networks,
which gives them advantages of speed and cost of transactions. Trade on an
exchange is by members only. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to
consumer s is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is
done in the secondary market.
A stock exchange is often the most important component of a stock
market. Supply and demand in stock markets is driven by various factors which,
as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks.
There is usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange
itself, nor must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such trading is
said to be off exchange or over-the-counter. This is the usual way that derivatives
and bonds are traded. Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market
for securities.

History of BSE
The Bombay Stock Exchange is known as the oldest exchange in Asia. It
traces its history to the 1850s, when stockbrokers would gather under banyan
trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed
many times, as the number of brokers constantly increased. The group eventually
moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official organization known
as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In 1956, the BSE became the
first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under the
Securities Contracts Regulation Act.
The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE Sensex in 1986, giving
the BSE a means to measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the
BSE used this index to open its derivatives market, trading Sensex futures
contracts. The development of Sensex options along with equity derivatives
followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform.
Historically an open-cry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock
Exchange switched to an electronic trading system in 1995. It took the exchange
only fifty days to make this transition.

Theoretical aspect about topic
What is Investment?
“The money you earn is partly spent and the rest saved for meeting future
Expenses. Instead of keeping the savings idle you may like to use savings in
Order to get return on it in the future.” This is called Investment.
Why should one invest?
One needs to invest to:
Earn return on your idle resources
Generate a specified sum of money for a specific goal in life
Make a provision for an uncertain future
One of the important reasons why one needs to invest wisely is to meet the
cost of Inflation. Inflation is the rate at which the cost of living increases. The
cost of living is simply what it costs to buy the goods and services you need to
live.
Consumer :
An consumer is any party that makes an investment.
An individual who commits money to investment products with the expectation of
financial return.
The term has taken on a specific meaning in finance to describe the particular
types of people and companies that regularly purchase equity or debt securities
for financial gain in exchange for funding an expanding company.
Consumer 's Behaviors:
Generally, Consumer s Behavior regarding the any investment is primary
concern with to minimize risk while maximizing return, as opposed to a speculator,
who is willing to accept a higher level of risk in the hopes of collecting higher-
than-average profits.
While, some people are also believes in “High Risk, High Return “Many
consumer s purchase a particular stock with the intention of making a big profit
over a short period of time. However, this action is not investing, but a pure
gambling.
The stock market is characterized by the trade-off between risk and
return. The higher the risk the consumer is willing and able to take, the higher
the potential rewards from the investment. Therefore, if a particular investment
offers you high returns, it is an indication that it will come with a high risk burden.
Some people are also believes in that there is no safe investment that
will provide you with high returns over a short period of time. Therefore, you
should direct your resources toward long-term investments that are more likely to
reward you for the patience with high returns.
Information of Equity Market & various sectors
What is Equity Market ?
“A market where consumer s buy and sell securities
providing ownership of a company's shares.”
The market in which shares are issued and traded, either through
exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the stock market, it is one
of the most vital areas of a market economy because it gives companies access
to capital and consumer s a slice of ownership in a company with the potential to
realize gains based on its future performance.
Equity market, or stock market, is a system through which company
shares are traded. The equity market offers consumer s an opportunity to
participate in a company's success through an increase in its stock price. With
enhanced opportunity, however, the equity market usually carries greater risk
than debt markets.
Indian Equity Market
The Indian Equity Market is more popularly known as the Indian Stock
Market. The Indian equity market has become the third biggest after China
and Hong Kong in the Asian region.
According to the latest report by ADB, it has a market capitalization of
nearly $600 billion. As of March 2009, the market capitalization was around
$598.3 billion (Rs 30.13 lakh core) which is one-tenth of the combined valuation
of the Asia region. The market was slow since early 2007 and continued till the
first quarter of 2009.
The Indian equity market depends on three factors -
Funding into equity from all over the world Corporate houses performance Monsoons
The equity market is also affected through trade integration policy. The
country has advanced both in foreign institutional investment (FII) and trade
integration since 1995. This is a very attractive field for making profit for medium
and long term consumer s, short-term swing and position traders and very
intraday traders.
The Indian market has 22 stock exchanges. The larger companies are
enlisted with BSE and NSE. The smaller and medium companies are listed
with OTCEI (Over The counter Exchange of India). The functions of the Equity
Market in India are supervised by SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India).
The Indian Equity Market was not well organized or developed before
independence. After independence, new issues were supervised. The timing,
floatation costs, pricing, interest rates were strictly controlled by the Controller of
Capital Issue (CII).
In the 1950s, there was uncontrollable speculation and the market was
known as ‘Satta Bazaar'. Speculators aimed at companies like-Tata Steel,
Kohinoor Mills, Century Textiles, Bombay Dyeing and National Rayon. The
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 was enacted by the Government of
India. Financial institutions and state financial corporation were developed
through an established network.
Two new stock exchanges, NSE (National Stock Exchange of India)
established in 1994 and OTCEI (Over the Counter Exchange of India)
established in 1992 gave BSE a nationwide competition. In 1995-96, an
amendment was made to the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 for
introducing options trading. In April 1995, the National Securities Clearing
Corporation (NSCC) and in November 1996, the National Securities Depository
Limited (NSDL) were set up for demutualised trading, clearing and settlement.

List of various sector :
INTRODUCTION OF selected SECTORS
1. Oil & gas Sector:
The oil & gas industry in recent years has been characterized by rising
consumption of oil products, declining crude production & low reserve accretion.
India remains one of the least-explored countries in the world, with a well density
among the lowest in the world. India is the fourth largest oil consumption
zone in Asia, even though on a per capita basis the consumption is a mere 0.1
tonne, the lowest in the region- This makes the prospects of the Indian Oil
industry even more exciting.
The oil and gas industry has been instrumental in fuelling the rapid growth
of the Indian economy. The petroleum and natural gas sector which includes
transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas industry
constitutes over 15 per cent of the GDP.
India's domestic demand for oil and gas is on the rise. As per the Ministry
of Petroleum, demand for oil and gas is likely to increase which is 186.54 million
tonnes in 2008-09.
India is emerging as the global hub for oil refining with capital costs
lower by 25 to 50 per cent over other Asian countries.
Already, the fifth largest country in the world in terms of refining
capacity, with a share of 3 per cent of the global capacity, India is likely to boost
its refining capacity by 45 per cent or 65.3 to 242 mtpa (million tonne per annum)
over the next five years.
2. Banking Sector:
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The
oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-
owned bank that traces its origins back to June 1806 and that is the largest
commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the responsibility of the
Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities
from the then Imperial Bank of India.
The banking sector will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking
System in India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking
concept in the country to new players adding their names in the industry in
coming few years. The banker of all banks, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the
Indian Banks Association (IBA) & top 20 banks like IDBI, HSBC, ICICI, ABN
AMRO, etc.
With the Indian economy moving on to a high growth trajectory,
consumption levels soaring & investment riding high, the Indian banking sector is
at a watershed. Further, as Indian companies globalize & people of Indian origin
increase their investment in India, several Indian banks are pursuing global
strategies,
In the Third Quarter Review of Monetary Policy for 2009-10, the RBI
observed that the Indian economy showed a degree of resilience as it recorded a
better-than-expected growth of 7.9 percent during the second quarter of 2009-
10.
The industry has been growing faster than the real economy, resulting in
the ratio of assets of commercial banks to GDP increasing to 92.5 per cent at
end-March 2007. The Indian banks have also been doing exceptionally well in
the financial sector with the price-to-book value being second only to china,
according to a report by (BCG)Boston Consultancy Group.
3. IT Sector:
Over the past decade, the Information Technology (IT) industry has
become one of the fastest growing industries in India. The key segments that
have contributed significantly (96 percent of total) to the industry’s exports
include – Software & services (IT services) & IT-enabled services (ITeS) i.e.
business services. Over a period of time, India has established itself as a
preferred global sourcing base in these segments & they are expected to
continue to fuel growth in the future.
At present, India is emerging as one of the popular Software outsourcing
locations to offer cost effective software solutions. The contribution of India in
Software Outsourcing is remarkable. One just cannot reject the reality that
currently India is described as the most prospering name in software outsourcing.
Now there are several grounds for this flourishing popularity of the offshore IT
outsourcing services of India. The prime reason for choosing India, as an offshore
development partner in software outsourcing business is the availability of
enormous pool of educated manpower combined with world-class quality
offerings.
The Indian information technology (IT) industry has played a key role
in putting India on the global map. Thanks to the success of the IT industry,
India is now a power to reckon with. According to the National Association of
Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the apex body for software
services in India, the revenue of the information technology sector has risen from
1.2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 1997-98 to an estimated
5.8 per cent in FY 2008-09. Further, the industry body expects the sector to
grow between 4 per cent and 7 per cent during 2009-10 and return to over 10 per
cent growth next year.
India's IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and
services such as Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM),
System Integration, IT Consulting, Application Management, Software testing,
and Web services.
According to NASSCOM, software and services exports (including exports
of IT services, business process outsourcing (BPO), engineering services and
research and development (R&D) and software products) reached US$ 47 billion
in FY 2008-09, contributing nearly 78 per cent to the total software and services
revenue of US$ 59.6 billion.
India's domestic market has also become a force to reckon with, as the
existing IT infrastructure evolves both in terms of technology and depth of
penetration.
According to NASSCOM, domestic IT market (including hardware)
reached US$ 24.3 billion in FY 2008-09 as against US$ 23.1 billion in FY 2007-
08, a growth of 5.3 per cent.
Investments:
The Andhra Pradesh Government expects the IT-related SEZs and
Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) in the State to receive about
US$ 3.27 billion investments in the next five years.
Mahindra Satyam has tied up with defence and security company Saab to
develop its operations in India for the global defence and homeland
security market. The estimated deal value is US$ 400 million.
San Francisco-based Virtualizations solutions provider VMware Inc plans
to invest US$ 100 million in India by end 2010.
The total investments of EMC Corporation, a leading global player of
information infrastructure solutions, in India will touch US$ 2 billion by
2014.
The Indian information technology sector continues to be one of the sunshine
sectors of the Indian economy showing rapid growth and promise.
4. Infrastructure Sector:
Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed
for the operation of a society or enterprise, or the services and facilities
necessary for an economy to function. The term typically refers to the technical
structures that support a society, such as roads, water supply, sewers, power
grids, telecommunications, and so forth.
India's Infrastructure has been expanding at an accelerated pace to
support the economic growth rate of over 9 per cent. The six core-
infrastructure industries, which account for a combined weight of 26.68 percent
in the index of industrial production (IIP), registered a growth of 8.6 percent in
2006-07 as against 6.2 percent during 2005-06.
The growth has continued apace during the current fiscal, with the six
core-infrastructure industries growing at the rate of 6.9 percent during April-
September 2007. Significantly, electricity recorded a growth rate of 7.6 per cent
compared to 6.7 per cent in the same period last year. Other sectors recording
major growth include: petroleum refinery products (9.8 per cent), cement (8.3 per
cent) & finished (carbon) steel (6.6 per cent).
Infrastructure investment in India is set to grow dramatically accelerated by
5.3 percent in 2008-09. India has become a major outbound consumer and
people are engaging with Indians to seek investment into their countries, said the
Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Mr Kamal Nath,According to
investment banking company Goldman Sachs, India's infrastructure sector
will require US$ 1.7 trillion investment in the next 10-years. It also added that
such investment would come more from the domestic market than overseas.
5. Automobile Sector:
Automobile industry is one of the fastest growing industries of the
world. With more than 2 million new automobiles rolling out each year, on
roads of India, the industry is set to grow further.
Automobile industry made its silent entry in India in the nineteenth century.
Since the launch of the first car in 1897, India automobile industry has come a
long way. Today India is the largest three wheeler market in the world and is
expected to take over China as the second largest automobile market, in the
coming years.
Some facts on Automobile industry in India:
India has the fourth largest car market in the world
India has the largest three wheeler market in the world
India is the second largest producer of two wheelers in the world
India ranks fifth in the production of commercial vehicles
The growth of the Indian middle class along with the growth of the
economy over the past few years has attracted global auto majors to the Indian
market. Moreover, India provides trained manpower at competitive costs
making India a favored global manufacturing hub. The attractiveness of the
Indian markets on one hand and the stagnation of the auto sector in markets
such as Europe, US and Japan on the other have resulted in shifting of new
capacities and flow of capital to the Indian automobile industry.
Global auto majors such as Japanese auto majors Suzuki, Honda and
Korean car giant Hyundai are increasingly banking on their Indian operations to
add weight to their businesses, even as numbers stay uncertain in developed
markets due to economic recession and slowdown.
According to figures released by the Society of Indian Automobile
Manufacturers (SIAM), domestic passenger car sales have increased 32.28
percent to reach 145,905 units in January 2010 from 110,300 units in the
same month last year.
Across all categories, total sale of vehicles increased 44.94 per cent to
1,114,157 units in January 2010, against 768,698 units in the January 2009.
The Indian auto industry is likely to see a growth of 10-12 percent in
sales in 2010, according to a report by the global rating firm.
India has become the second-largest maker of small cars, overtaking
Brazil. Small cars account for 80 per cent of the domestic market (up from 75 per
cent last year) and exports are growing at top speed. According to SIAM, small
car exports rise 53 percent between April and September 2009 to 197,249 units
against 129,090 units a year ago.
In order to make India a power to reckon with in the automotive sector
the government launched the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016.
The vision of the AMP is "to emerge as the destination of choice in
the world for design and manufacture of automobiles and auto components
with output reaching a level of US$ 145 billion accounting for more than 10
per cent of the GDP and providing additional employment to 25 million
people by 2016." As per the AMP, it is estimated that the total turnover of the
automotive industry in India would be in the order of US$ 122 billion - US$ 159
billion in 2016.
Further, by 2016, the automotive sector would double its contribution to
the country's GDP from current levels of five percent to 10-12 per cent.

INTRODUCTION OF CAPITAL MARKET
Concept:
Capital market is the markets for funds which have a long or undefined
maturity i.e. it deal with long term funds. Generally capital market supplies long
term and medium term securities and funds, which have a maturity period of
above one year. Capital market generates the funds from the saver and transfer
to user. Generally it done with ordinary share, stocks, debentures and bonds of
corporations and securities of the government. They do so by converting financial
assets into productive physical assets.
Capital market provides a market mechanism for those who have savings
and to those who need funds for productive investments. It diverts resources from
wasteful and unproductive channels to productive investment.
The Capital Market:
The origination of the Indian securities market may be traced back to
1875, when 22 enterprising brokers under a Banyan tree established the Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE). Over the last 133 years, the Indian securities market has
evolved continuously to become one of the most dynamic, modern and efficient
securities markets in Asia. Today, Indian markets conform to international
standards both in terms of structure and in terms of operating efficiency.
A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where
business enterprises (companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It is
defined as a market in which money is provided for periods longer than a year, as
the raising of short-term funds takes place on other markets
Structure and Size of theMarkets:
Corporation of the exchanges assumes the counter-party risk of each
member and guarantees settlement through a fine-tuned risk management
system and an innovative method of online position monitoring. It also ensures
the financial settlement of trades on the appointed day and time irrespective of
default by members to deliver the required funds and/or securities with the help of
a settlement guarantee fund. Today India has two national exchanges, the
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Each
has fully electronic trading platforms with around 9400 participating broking
outfits.
BSE reaches to over 400 cities and town nation-wide and has around
4,937 listed companies, with over 7745 scripts being traded as on31st July 09.
The companies listed on BSE command a total market capitalization of USD
Trillion 1.06 as of July, 2009.
NSE has a market capitalization of around Rs 47,01,923 core (7 August
2009)
There are some 9600 companies listed on the respective exchanges. Any
market that has experienced this sort of growth has an equally substantial
demand for highly efficient settlement procedures.
In India 99.9% of the trades, according to the (NSDL) National Securities
Depository Limited, are settled in dematerialized form in a T+2 rolling
settlement environments. In addition, trades are guaranteed by the National
Clearing Corporation of India Ltd (NSCCL) and Bank of India Shareholding Ltd
(BOISL), Clearing Corporation houses of NSE and BSE respectively. The main
functions of the Clearing Corporation are to work out (a) what counter parties owe
and (b) what counter parties are due to receive on the settlement date.
Furthermore, each exchange has a Settlement Guarantee Fund to meet with any
unpredictable situation and a negligible trade failure of 0.003%.
Highlights of the highly attractive Indian capital markets:
Two major reasons why Indian securities are now increasingly regarded as
attractive to international consumer s are:
1. The relatively high returns compared with more developed global markets
as well as the low correlation with world markets.
2. However until the early 90s, the foreign consumer s’ only way of accessing
the Indian capital markets was through listed country funds
India’s Security Market
A Brief History
“The capital market is one of the most exciting sectors in the financial
system, marking an important contribution to economic development.”
Asia Focus was launched by the Unit Trust of India (UTI) in London in
1986. The success of this initiative ensured that this fund was followed by
numerous others. Indian companies are now also allowed to raise equity capital
in the international market through the issue of GDRs. In 2004, there are 498
Foreign Institutional Consumer s who hold1325 sub-accounts with a net
investment of approximately $15billion. India’s regulator, the Securities Exchange
Board of India (SEBI) is playing more of a development role rather than being
merely a watchdog. Transparency, competitiveness and equal opportunity to all
market participants has been the driving philosophy behind all the development
and regulatory initiatives of SEBI. The availability of derivative products including
index futures, index options, individual stock futures and individual stock options
re-enforces the overall attractiveness of this market to foreign and domestic
consumer s. The derivatives market in only two years has shown spectacular
growth. Compared to last financial year the annual turnover grew by over 300%.
As if further evidence was needed of India’s willingness to embrace change, the
availability of Internet trading and dual fungibles of American Depository Receipts
(ADRs) and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) provides a clear indication of the
vibrancy and dynamism of the Indian securities market.
Meaning of Capital Market
“Capital market refers to the market for rising of financial resources
by the business enterprises, firms, government, semi-
government bodies, public sector units and other organization.”
OR
“A market where debt or equity securities are traded.”
A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where
business enterprises (companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It

bond market (debt).
Capital markets may be classified as:
1) Primary markets
2) Secondary markets
In primary markets, new stock or bond issues are sold to consumer s via a
mechanism known as underwriting.
In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought among
consumer s or traders, usually on a securities exchange, over-the-counter, or
elsewhere.
Consumer s purchase securities in the capital markets in order to extract a
return and earn profit on the securities.

the primary market and more than four –fifths of the turnover in the secondary
market.
It is otherwise called Gilt-Edged securities market. It is a market where

Securities-short term and long term. Long term securities are traded in this

dealers, and trusts.
Government securities are issued in denominations of RS. 100. Interest is
payable half- yearly and they carry tax exemptions also. The role of brokers in
marketing these securities is practically very limited and the major participant in
this market in the “commercial banks” because they hold a very substantial
portion of these securities to satisfy their S.L.R. requirements.
The secondary market for these securities is very narrow since most of the
institutional consumer s tends to retain these securities until maturity.

Government both at the national and regional levels to supply long term and
medium term loans to corporate customers directly as well as indirectly. These
development banks dominate the industrial finance in India.
Institutions like IDBI, IFCI, ICICI, and other state financial corporation’s
come under this category. These institutions meet the growing and varied long

entrepreneurs and support modernization efforts.

properties as security whereas in the case of a legal mortgage the title in the
property is legally transferred to the lender by the borrower. Legal mortgage is
less risky.
Similarly, in the first charge, the mortgages transfer his interest in the
specific property to the mortgagee as security. When the properly in question is
already mortgaged once to another creditor, it becomes a second charge when it
is subsequently mortgaged to somebody else. The mortgagee can also further
transfer his interest in the mortgaged property to another, in such a case; it is
called a sub mortgage.
The mortgage market may have primary market as well secondary market.

discharge the liability of a third party in case of his default. Guarantee acts as a
security from the creditor’s point of view. In case the borrower fails to repay the
loan, the liability falls on the shoulders of the guarantor. Hence the guarantor
must be known to both the borrower and the lender and he must have the means
to discharge his liability.
Though there are many types of guarantees, the common forms ate:
(i) Performance Guarantee
(ii) Financial Guarantee
Performance guarantees cover the payment of earnest money, retention
money, advance payments, non-completion of contracts etc. On the other hand
financial guarantees cover only financial contracts.

selected sectors.
During my training period I have study on
Investing in Equity Market in Various Sectors “by using Descriptive
Research Design as a Questionnaire method where respondents are from
CONCLUSION
whole of the equity market of Delhi city and also from Share khan Securities
Pvt. Ltd.
From the survey I found that major people are investing in equity market
only due to Earn High Return and Hedge the Risk by investing their major
proportion of income in Equity Market. Here, the most of people are trade in
equity market as a speculation and they are invests for one to three months.
Generally, the consumer s who are invest for long period more than year they
are surely beneficial in equity market. Majority of people are motivated by their
friends &medias advise to enter into equity market. Majority people are expecting
something more from the equity market. So, finally some are satisfied and some
are not satisfy with equity market.
Major consumer s prefer the Oil & gas sector as a first rank on the basis
of Market trend, Profitability, industry condition and economic condition also
important factor while selecting the Sector and consumer s have also
considered Price Earnings Ratio, Earning per Share and Dividend as a most
important factor while selecting a company under these selected sectors.
Recommendation to Consumer s:
Prefer investment for long term investment strategy that provides you
moderate return with liquidity.
Consumer s should not invest in only equity market but, also invest in
other Safe Securities Like- Fixed Deposits, Government Securities,
Bonds, Mutual fund and Insurance etc. which also provides moderate
return.
RECOMMENDATION
For Example: One should prefer
o Equity – 50%
o Other Safe Securities– 50%
So, one can get moderate return with liquidity.
Consumer s should invest money at lower level price and sale the stock at
higher price.
Consumer s should select company on the basis of PE ratio,
EPS ,Current Growth of Company and Market capitalization and many
more. So, consumer s can get higher return on their investment.
Always invest extra money in stock market. Do not invest by taking
loan from banks or other resources.
Recommendation to Company:
From my research, I found that only 68% of consumer s are investing in
equity market, so more focus should on 32% of consumer s who are not
investing inequity market.
Broking firms or companies should promote Equity investment
aggressively for long term investment purpose.
Majority of consumer s (53%)are investing secondary market (equity
market)and very few (18%) consumer s are investing in Primary Market.
So, here broking firm should promote to their client for investing in
Primary Market also.
Company should have to concentrate on those people who are not
investing in Equity Market because of High risk than convert them in
investing other security like-Mutual Fund, Bonds, and Insurance etc. which
also provides moderate return.
The Stock Broking firm should also provide better services to the
consumer to increase the satisfaction level of the consumer s.
Company should focus on students also because equity market has risk
and the younger generation likes to take risk.
Majority consumer s are investing in Oil & gas sector and IT sector. So,
Company should also suggest to consumer s for investing other sector
which is also profitable.
