Stock market reforms in India

            
            
             India currently has two major stock exchanges, namely the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. The provision for liquidity is a major function of a stock exchange. There have been important structural changes in the Indian financial sector. One of them is the stock market reform. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) used to be the premier exchange in India until 1994. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) began its operations in 1994 and has dramatically transformed the Indian stock markets.

The government seriously deliberated about these reforms in order to facilitate participation by foreign institutions and corporates.

The system was so vulnerable to defaults. The following major problems were frequently cited: outdated trading and settlement mechanisms, lack of transparency in transactions, delays in physical delivery and registration of transfer, poor disclosure, price manipulation, insider trading, lack of liquidity and "excessive speculation". .
             The major measures recommended by the Narasimhan committee and the Pherwani committee set up to study the implementation of possible measures to strengthen the Indian financial sector, were:.
