 INTRODUCTION- STOCK MARKET OF
INDIA
Stock markets refer to a market place where investors 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).

In earlier times, buyers and sellers used to assemble at stock exchanges to make a
transaction but now with the dawn of IT, most of the operations are done electronically and the
stock markets have become almost paperless. Now investors don’t have to gather at the Exchanges,
and can trade freely from their home or office over the phone or through Internet.

The Indian retail brokerage industry consists of companies that primarily act as agents for the buying and
selling of securities (e.g. stocks, shares, and similar financial instruments) on a commission or transaction
fee or Brokerage basis

An agent that charges a fee or commission for executing buys and sell and other securities
through market makers or Agency Only Firms on behalf of investors

Typically, a broker who receives an order from a customer will communicate with a company employee
located at a particular exchange, who will execute the order at the exchange and report details of the
transaction to the broker. Customers typically keep their securities in an account with the broker. Brokers
charge customers commissions for conducting transactions and fees for maintaining their accounts.

Order summited by an investor. The firm that acts as an agent for a customer, charge the customer the
commission for its service. Roles similar to that of a stockbroker include investment advisor, financial
advisor and probably many others. A stockbroker may or may not be also an investment advisor.

A stockbroker is a regulated professional broker who buys and sells shares Some of the main
characteristics of the brokerage industry include growth in e-broking, decline in brokerage fees and growing
derivative market and many more.

the brokers.

New forms of trading including T+2 settlement system, dematerialization etc. are strengthening
the retail brokerage market and attracting foreign companies to enter the Indian industry Various
alternative forms of investment including fixed deposit with bank and post office etc. act as
substitute to retail broking product
 Stock markets
Stock markets refer to a market place where investors 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 organised marketplace, either corporation or mutual organisation, where
members of the organisation 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 investors 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.

 National Stock Exchange (NSE)

The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) is the leading stock exchange of India,
located in Mumbai. The NSE was established in 1992 as the first demutualized electronic
exchange in the country. NSE was the first exchange in the country to provide a modern, fully
automated screen-based electronic trading system which offered easy trading facility to the
investors spread across the length and breadth of the country. Vikram Limaye is Managing
Director & Chief Executive Officer of NSE.

National Stock Exchange has a total market capitalization of more than US$2.27 trillion, making
it the world's 11th-largest stock exchange as of April 2018. NSE's flagship index, the NIFTY 50,
the 50 stock index is used extensively by investors in India and around the world as a barometer
of the Indian capital markets. Nifty 50 index was launched in 1996 by the NSE. However,
Vaidyanathan (2016) estimates that only about 4% of the Indian economy / GDP is actually
derived from the stock exchanges in India.

Unlike countries like the United States where nearly 70% of the GDP is derived from larger
companies and the corporate sector, the corporate sector in India accounts for only 12-14% of the
national GDP (as of October 2016). Of these only 7,800 companies are listed of which only 4000
trade on the stock exchanges at BSE and NSE. Hence the stocks trading at the BSE and NSE
account for only around 4% of the Indian economy, which derives most of its income related
activity from the so-called unorganized sector and households.

Economic Times estimated that as of April 2018, 60 million (6 crore) retail investors had invested
their savings in stocks in India, either through direct purchases of equities or through mutual funds.
Earlier, the Bimal Jalan Committee report estimated that barely 1.3% of India's population invested
in the stock market, as compared to 27% in USA and 10% in China.

History of N.S.E
Capital market reforms in India and the launch of the Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI) accelerated the incorporation of the second Indian stock exchange called
the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992. After a few years of operations, the NSE has become
the largest stock exchange in India.

Three segments of the NSE trading platform were established one after another. The
Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) commenced operations in June 1994 and the Capital Market (CM)
segment was opened at the end of 1994.

Finally, the Futures and Options segment began operating in 2000. Today the NSE takes the 14th
position in the top 40 futures exchanges in the world.

In 1996, the National Stock Exchange of India launched S&P CNX Nifty and CNX Junior Indices
that make up 100 most liquid stocks in India. CNX Nifty is a diversified index of 50 stocks from
25 different economy sectors. The Indices are owned and managed by India Index Services and
Products Ltd (IISL) that has a consulting and licensing agreement with Standard & Poor's.

In 1998, the National Stock Exchange of India launched its web-site and was the first exchange in
India that started trading stock on the Internet in 2000. The NSE has also proved its leadership in
the Indian financial market by gaining many awards such as 'Best IT Usage Award' by Computer
Society in India (in 1996 and 1997) and CHIP Web Award by CHIP magazine (1999).

Indices of N.S.E

NSE also set up as index services firm known as India Index Services & Products Limited (IISL)

 S&P CNX 500 (= CNX 100 + 400 major players across 72 industries)
  CNX Midcap (introduced on 18 July 2005 replacing CNX Midcap 200)

Mission of N.S.E.

NSE's mission is setting the agenda for change in the securities markets in India. The NSE was
set-up with the main objectives of:

 Establishing a nation-wide trading facility for equities, debt instruments and

hybrids,
 Ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an appropriate
communication network,
 Providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to investors using
electronic trading systems,
 Enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements systems, and
 Meeting the current international standards of securities markets.

The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices and technology have become industry
benchmarks and are being emulated by other market participants. NSE is more than a mere market
facilitator. It's that force which is guiding the industry towards new horizons and greater
opportunities.
 Theoretical aspect about topic
What is INVESTMENT?
“An investment is an asset or item acquired with the goal of generating income or
appreciation. In an economic sense, an investment is the purchase of goods that are not consumed
today but are used in the future to create wealth. In finance, an investment is a monetary asset
purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a
higher price for a profit.”

Why should everyone 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.

Investors
 An investor 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.

Investor’s Behavior:

Generally, Investors 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 investors 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 investor 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.

Investors Behavior regarding the financial investment is closely related with the
“Behavioral Finance” and “Behavioral Economics” are closely related fields making up a separate branch
of economic and financial analysis using social, cognitive and emotional factors in understanding the
economic decisions of investors for investment, and their effects on market prices, returns and the allocation
of resources.

Information of Equity Market & various sectors

What is Equity Market?

“A market where investors 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 investors 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 investors 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 $2.4 trillion. As
of March 2019, the market capitalization was around $2.1 trillion which is one-tenth of the
combined valuation of the Asia region.

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 investors, 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 company’s 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 demutualized trading, clearing and settlement.

Oil and gas sector
Introduction
The oil and gas sector is among the eight core industries in India and plays a major
role in influencing decision making for all the other important sections of the economy.

India’s economic growth is closely related to energy demand; therefore the need for
oil and gas is projected to grow more, thereby making the sector quite conducive for
investment.

The Government of India has adopted several policies to fulfil the increasing
demand. The government has allowed 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in many
segments of the sector, including natural gas, petroleum products, and refineries, among others.

expectations for the near future. Automobile exports grew 14.5 per cent during FY 2019. It is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.05 per cent during 2016-2026. In addition, several initiatives by

Infrastructure Project (NATRiP) centers as well as a National Automotive Board to act as
facilitator between the government and the industry. Under (NATRIP), five testing and research
centres have been established in the country since 2015.

The Indian government has also set up an ambitious target of having only electric
vehicles being sold in the country. Indian auto industry is expected to see 8-12 per cent increase

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction:
Research is one of the best instruments to identify the investing pattern of investors 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:
Company Objective
“A survey study on Investors Behavior on Various Investment Avenues in pune region”

Secondary Objective:
Individual Objective
“A Comparative analysis on Various Sectors in Indian stock exchange”

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.

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

I have used Descriptive Research Design for research purpose.

2. Descriptive Research:
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 “Study on
Investors behavior for investing in various sectors in Indian stock market”

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.

1. Primary Data
2. 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 or Questionnaire.

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 investors from whole of the equity
market of PUNE city and also from KIFS TRADE CAPITAL. 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 240 potential respondents, out of which only 194 gave proper
response.

Hence,

 Response Rate = 194/240 = 80.83%

BENEFITS OF STUDY:
The study carried out under the title of “Study on Investors behavior for investing in various
sectors in Indian stock market” will give benefits as under:

 The research will be help to know in which sector investors are investing more.
 The study will be helpful in knowing that what factors consider most important while
selecting the Sectors and company under the sectors.
 The study will be helpful in knowing that how the investors are trade in Equity market.
 The study will be helpful in knowing responses regarding problems faced by the investors
while investing in Equity Market
 The study will be helpful in knowing that what are the motivational factors that
encouraging to the investors for investing in Equity Market.

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.
