A study on volatility in the Indian stock market

By: Nandy, Suparna

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Importance of the Study:

Volatility is an important phenomenon for any type of asset market, particularly, for

stock markets. Stock markets with its primary and secondary segments assist the corporate and the

Government to raise funds and if efficient, they are able to allocate capital to its

highest- value users so that returns are maximized subject to their tolerance for risk.

Stock markets encourage savings, capital formation and investment, which are

essential for economic development. They help investors to diversify their assets and thus

reduce the risk the investors have to bear, reduce also the cost of capital and

facilitate investment and economic growth. However, the effectiveness of the stock

market in economic development is ultimately

determined by its volatility and market efficiency.
