India had an active stock market for about 150 years that played a significant role in developing risk markets as also promoting enterprise and supporting the growth of industry. The roots of a stock market in India began in the 1860s during the American Civil War that led to a sudden surge in the demand for cotton from India resulting in setting up of a number of joint stock companies that issued securities to raise finance.

As a part of the reform process, it became imperative to strengthen the role of the capital markets that could play an important role in efficient mobilization and allocation of financial resources to the real economy.
