Keywords:
COVID-19, Indian stock exchanges, NSE, BSE, market volatility, investor behavior, sectoral impactAbstract
This research paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Indian stock exchanges, specifically focusing on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The study analyses the performance of these exchanges during the pandemic period, investigating market volatility, sectoral impacts, and investor behavior. Using a comprehensive dataset spanning from January 2019 to December 2021, we employ various statistical and econometric techniques to assess the pandemic's effects on stock prices, trading volumes, and market indices. Our findings reveal significant disruptions in market performance, increased volatility, and sector-specific impacts. The research contributes to the understanding of financial market dynamics during global crises and provides insights for policymakers, investors, and financial institutions.
