An Empirical Study of the Behaviour of Indian Capital Market is a comprehensive research-based book developed from a D.Litt. thesis awarded by Sambalpur University. The book provides an in-depth understanding of the behaviour, dynamics and functioning of the Indian capital market. It explores the relationship between traditional financial theories and the actual behaviour of investors in the stock market. The study primarily focuses on the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) and the various anomalies that challenge its assumptions. These anomalies provide a foundation for understanding behavioural finance and the psychological factors influencing investment decisions. A significant part of the book examines behavioural biases, with particular emphasis on herding behaviour, where investors tend to follow the actions and decisions of other market participants rather than relying solely on their own analysis. The book is divided into two major parts. The first discusses the Efficient Market Hypothesis and its anomalies, while the second focuses on behavioural biases and investor behaviour. Although rooted in rigorous academic research, the book has been redesigned to make its contents more accessible, readable and useful to a wider audience. It offers valuable insights for researchers, academicians, students, financial professionals and investors interested in understanding the complexities of the Indian capital market. Overall, this book bridges the gap between financial theory and real-world market behaviour, encouraging readers to look beyond conventional explanations of investment decisions.
