The Indian Securities Market is a platform where various financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, are bought and sold. It plays a crucial role in the economy by facilitating capital formation and providing investment opportunities for individuals and institutions. The market is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), ensuring transparency and fairness in trading. The market consists of two main segments: the primary market, where new securities are issued, and the secondary market, where existing securities are traded. Major stock exchanges in India include the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), which provide a venue for investors to trade securities efficiently.
