Recent Developments in
Capital Market of India
The Indian capital market has witnessed major
reforms in the decade of 1990s and there after. It
is on the verge of the growth.
Thus, the Government of India and SEBI has
taken a number of measures in order to improve
the working of the Indian stock exchanges and to
make it more progressive and vibrant.
Reforms in Capital Market of
1) Establishment of SEBIIndia
                         :
    The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was established
    in 1988. It got a legal status in 1992. SEBI was primarily set up to
    regulate the activities of the merchant banks, to control the
    operations of mutual funds, to work as a promoter of the stock
    exchange activities and to act as a regulatory authority of new issue
    activities of companies. The SEBI was set up with the fundamental
    objective, "to protect the interest of investors in securities
    market and for matters connected therewith or incidental
                                     thereto."
    The main functions of SEBI are:-
•   To regulate the business of the stock market and other securities
    market.
•   To promote and regulate the self regulatory organizations.
•   To prohibit fraudulent and unfair trade practices in securities market.
•   To promote awareness among investors and training of
    intermediaries about safety of market.
•   To prohibit insider trading in securities market.
•   To regulate huge acquisition of shares and takeover of companies.
2) Establishment of Creditors Rating Agencies :
 Three creditors rating agencies viz. The Credit Rating
 Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL - 1988), the
 Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency of India
 Limited (ICRA - 1991) and Credit Analysis and Research
 Limited (CARE) were set up in order to assess the financial
 health of different financial institutions and agencies related to
 the stock market activities. It is a guide for the investors also in
 evaluating the risk of their investments.
3) Increasing of Merchant Banking Activities :
 Many Indian and foreign commercial banks have set up their
 merchant banking divisions in the last few years. These
 divisions provide financial services such as underwriting
 facilities, issue organizing, consultancy services, etc. It has
 proved as a helping hand to factors related to the capital
 market.
4) Candid Performance of Indian Economy :
In the last few years, Indian economy is growing at a good speed.
It has attracted a huge inflow of Foreign Institutional Investments
(FII). The massive entry of FIIs in the Indian capital market has
given good appreciation for the Indian investors in recent times.
Similarly many new companies are emerging on the horizon of the
Indian capital market to raise capital for their expansions.

5) Rising Electronic Transactions :
Due to technological development in the last few years. The
physical transaction with more paper work is reduced. Now
paperless transactions are increasing at a rapid rate. It
saves money, time and energy of investors. Thus it has made
investing safer and hassle free encouraging more people to join
the capital market.
6) Growing Mutual Fund Industry :
The growing of mutual funds in India has certainly helped the
capital market to grow. Public sector banks, foreign banks,
financial institutions and joint mutual funds between the Indian
and foreign firms have launched many new funds. A big
diversification in terms of schemes, maturity, etc. has taken place
in mutual funds in India. It has given a wide choice for the
common investors to enter the capital market.

7) Growing Stock Exchanges :
The numbers of various Stock Exchanges in India are increasing.
Initially the BSE was the main exchange, but now after the setting
up of the NSE , stock exchanges have spread across the country.
Recently a new Inter-connected Stock Exchange of India has
joined the existing stock exchanges.
8) Investor's Protection :
Under the preview of the SEBI the Central Government of India
has set up the Investors Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) in
2001. It works in educating and guiding investors. It tries to
protect the interest of the small investors from frauds and
malpractices in the capital market.
9) Growth of Derivative Transactions :
Since June 2000, the NSE has introduced the derivatives trading
in the equities. In November 2001 it also introduced the future
and options transactions. These innovative products have given
variety for the investment leading to the expansion of the capital
market.
10) Insurance Sector Reforms :
Indian insurance sector has also witnessed massive reforms in
last few years. The Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority (IRDA) was set up in 2000. It paved the entry of the
private insurance firms in India. As many insurance companies
invest their money in the capital market, it has expanded.
11) Commodity Trading :
Along with the trading of ordinary securities, the trading in
commodities is also recently encouraged. The Multi Commodity
Exchange (MCX) is set up. The volume of such transactions is
growing at a splendid rate.
Apart from these reforms the setting up of Clearing Corporation of
India Limited (CCIL), Venture Funds, etc., have resulted into the
tremendous growth of Indian capital market.
