possible adverse consequences. The past two years have been highly turbulent for the worldeconomy which has been hit hard by a profound financial crisis. It is being apprehended as the worstever crisis to hit the world economy since the Great Depression of 1930s. Rumors are flying thick and people all around the world are gripped with a sense of fear and panic. The Indian economy has

been growing at an impressive rate in the past few years. Growth is being registered at an average of around 9% for the past three years. Along with China, India is emerging as a one of the most attractivedestinations for investment for entrepreneurs worldwide. This paper is to study the impact of FDI and FIIon BSE Stock exchange over a period of liberalization through regression analysis and using R-softwareto show whether really the FDI and FII is having a major impact on the Sensex or it is just because of

panic situation the downfall occurred. This paper will give you the clear picture of what actually has

impacted the Sensex foreign investors or panic?

One of the outstanding features of globalization in the financial services industry is the increasedaccess provided to non-local investors in several major stock markets of the world. Increasingly,stock markets from emerging markets permit institutional investors to trade in their domesticmarkets. Indian stock market opened to Foreign Institutional Investors in 14th September 1992,initially with lot of restrictions. The regulation on them are liberalized and minimized now, since1993 has received a considerable amount of portfolio investment from foreigners in the form if FIIsinvestment in equities. This has become a turning point of India stock market. The government of India announced the policy of the government to permit the FII investment in India capital market.According to the SEBI modified the regulation on 14-11-1995. In order to make investment in Indiaequity market they wanted to register with Security Exchange Board of India as foreign institutionalinvestors. It is possible for foreigners to trade in India securities without registering as ForeignInstitutional investors, but such cases require approval from Reserve Bank of India or the ForeignInstitutional Promotion Board. They are generally concentrated in secondary market. Portfolio flowsoften referred to as hot- money are notoriously volatile capital flows. They have also responsiblefor spreading financial crisis causing contagion in international market. Evan though, the FIIs have

been plying a key role in the financial markets since their entry into this country. The explosive portfolio flow by FII brings with them great advantages as they are engine of growth, lowering costof capital in many emerging market. This opening up of capital markets in emerging marketcountries has been perceived as beneficial by some researchers while others are concerned about

possible adverse consequences.

Methodology

Sensex Index (Base:1978-79=100) , Direct Investment and Portfolio Investmentdata were taken for 19 yrs (from 1990-9991 to 2009-10).

Data was collected from secondary sources like Reserve Bank of India website,website of SEBI & Indian Foreign Investment Policy.( Centre Asie Ifri )

Regression analysis was done using R Software.

Background

Y V Reddy: Indian economy - current status and select issues: it is well recognized that giving better incentives to foreign investors over domestic investors results in scope for round-trippingand inefficiencies. Similarly, if avenues for portfolio flows or equity-transfers from domestic toforeign investors are easily available and attractive, the flows under FDI defined in terms of adding

to domestic production-capacities will tend to be smaller. Attention to these may simultaneouslyaddress micro or institutional issues relating to corporates, volatility issues relating to capital flowsand financial markets, and above all ensure high-quality inflows of foreign savings which is moreimportant to our country at this stage of development, to provide a healthy supplement to thedomestic savings.

Consolidated Fdi Policy (Effective From April 1, 2010) Government of India,Ministry of Commerce & Industry,Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion,(FC Section)A non-resident entity (other than a citizen of Pakistan or an entity incorporated in Pakistan)can invest in India, subject to the FDI Policy. A citizen of Bangladesh or an entity incorporated inBangladesh can invest in India under the FDI Policy, only under the Government route. NRIsresident in Nepal and Bhutan as well as citizens of Nepal and Bhutan are permitted to invest in thecapital of Indian companies on repatriation basis, subject to the condition that the amount of consideration for such investment shall be paid only by way of inward remittance in freeforeign exchange through normal banking channels. OCBs have been derecognized as a class of Investors in India with effect from September 16,2003. Erstwhile OCBs which are incorporatedoutside India and are not under the adverse notice of RBI can make fresh investments under FDIPolicy as incorporated non-resident entities, with the prior approval of Government of India if theinvestment is through Government route; and with the prior approval of RBI if the investment isthrough Automatic route.

Scope of Study

One of the outstanding features of globalization in the financial services industry is the increasedaccess provided to non-local investors in several major stock markets of the world. Increasingly,stock markets from emerging markets permit institutional investors to trade in their domesticmarkets. Indian stock market opened to Foreign Institutional Investors in 14th September 1992,initially with lot of restrictions. The regulation on them are liberalized and minimized now, since1993 has received a considerable amount of portfolio investment from foreigners in the form if FIIsinvestment in equities. This has become a turning point of India stock market. The government of India announced the policy of the government to permit the FII investment in India capital market.According to the SEBI modified the regulation on 14-11-1995. In order to make investment in Indiaequity market they wanted to register with Security Exchange Board of India as foreign institutionalinvestors. It is possible for foreigners to trade in India securities without registering as ForeignInstitutional investors, but such cases require approval from Reserve Bank of India or the ForeignInstitutional Promotion Board. They are generally concentrated in secondary market. Domesticmarket alone not able to meet the growing capital requirement of the country and financing frommutilated institution has lost primary in the emerging in the global order .Besides aimed primarily atensuring non-debt creating capital inflows at a time of extreme balance of payment crisis. It was totie over the balance of payment crisis in the early 1990s Portfolio flows often referred to as hot-money are notoriously volatile capital flows. They have also responsible for spreading financialcrisis causing contagion in international market. Even though, the FIIs have been playing a key rolein the financial markets since their entry into this country. The explosive portfolio flow by FII bringswith them great advantages as they are engine of growth, lowering cost of capital in many emergingmarket. This opening up of capital markets in emerging market countries has been perceived as

beneficial by some researchers while others are concerned about possible adverse consequences. Therelationship between the Sensex and Direct Investment as well Portfolio Investment can be seen bydeveloping regression model using R-software to have correct picture over it. The sample data isused from Handbook of Statistics on Indian Economy taken from RBI.

Hypotheses Null Hypotheses are premised on the following

(1) There is no relation between the movement of Direct Investment (di) and PortfolioInvestment (pi) and stock market index (BSE Sensitive Index).

Test of Hypotheses on Movement of Stock Prices and Direct Investment (di) and PortfolioInvestment (pi).H0 (Null Hypotheses) = There is no relation between movement of the Direct Investment (di) andPortfolio Investment (pi) and the movement of Stock Prices.H (Alternative Hypothesis) =There is a relation between movement of the Direct Investment (di)and Portfolio Investment (pi) and the movement of Stock Prices.

Usefulness of Study

The year 1991 marked a key transition in Indias foreign investment policy.


6/12

The transformation was induced by the governments decision to encourage stable non-debt creating long-term capital flows as a major source of funds for supplementingdomestic savings.

This was a significant departure from the over reliance on debt-creating flows during

the 1970s and 1980s.

Entry of foreign investment was streamlined in two distinct channels. Apart from theautomatic route, an empowered Board was set up for negotiating with investors andapproving investments in select areas.

This board the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) administers thegovernment channel of foreign investments.

Subsequent developments in FDI policy have focused on altering the scale and scope of foreign investment between these two routes.

A major policy revamp occurred in February 2000. The automatic route wassignificantly expanded to make FDI in all items/activities eligible for the route except awell-defined negative list.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers from November 1997 throughJanuary 1998. The outflow, prompted by the economic and currency crisis in Asia andsome volatility in the Indian rupee.

Large outflows began again in May 1998, following India's nuclear tests and volatility

in the rupee/dollar exchange rate.

In an effort to avoid further heavy outflows, the RBI announced in June that FIIswould be allowed to hedge their incremental investments in Indian markets afterJune11, 1998.

Mumbai, March 21 Equity investments by Foreign Institutional Investors stood at $80billion as on September-end 2008, down by $18.6 billion in the first six months of thecurrent financial year, according to the latest figures released by Reserve Bank of India.

During this period, relentless selling by FIIs saw the BSE Sensex slide by 2,766 points.

Foreign institutional investors pulled out close to Rs 50,000 crore (Rs 500 billion) at

the domestic stock market in 2008-09, almost equaling the inflow in the previous

Fiscal.

FIIs' net outflows have been Rs 47,706.2 crore (Rs 477.06 billion) till March 30 in the


7/12

financial year 2008-09 as against huge inflows of Rs 53,000 crore (Rs 530 billion) in

the previous fiscal, according to latest information on the Securities and Exchange

Board of India website.

The above points shows that the FII has a huge impact on the Sensex but in reality whatis the actual position is to be found with the regression analysis and has to be seen thatIs really the FII has so impact?

Results

SENSEX= + 2di+

i.e. Sensex=2788 + 0.07749di +

T-value is more than the critical value so it is significant

P-Value is less than the significant Value 0.05


8/12

SENSEX= + 3pi+

Sensex = 4429 + 0.06089pi +



SENSEX= + 1total+

Sensex = 2753 + 0.04916 total +




9/12

The log calculated for Sensex and di shows that 1% changes in di changes theSensex by 0.32940.



The log calculated for Sensex and pi shows that 1% changes in total pi changesthe Sensex by 0.21495.



10/12


The log calculated for Sensex and total shows that 1% changes in total (pi + di)changes the Sensex by 0.32020.



The regression model shows that Sensex=2788 + 0.07749di + ; Sensex = 4429 + 0.06089pi+ ; Sensex = 2753 + 0.04916 total + . This mean overall the Sensex depends on totalforeign investment. When the regression found separately it can be seen that the Sensexdepends more on direct investment and less on portfolio investment but definitely it is relatedto both so the null hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted. But after taking a log of both there is more clarity that though the Sensex depends on both di and pi

but the changes is more due to di and not pi. But the Sensex is still more sensitive to the portfolio investment which was observed during the global recession period so now thequestion is whether the panic situation has played a role or the speculators played on Sensexthis is to be found in the further research.

Limitation of the study

The study does not include the month wise data of the direct investment and portfolio investmentwhich may give more clarity about the relationship between the portfolio investment and directinvestment and also it doesnt include the month wise data for recession period which may giveimpact of pi and di on Sensex during that period.


11/12

Conclusion

The study concludes that there is relation between the pi and di on Sensex but it is not so that the fallin this could really sensitize the Sensex to a greater extent. This proves that the Sensex is affected

but the panic situation more works in the market rather than the actual change in the pi and di. This

is also seen in the current scenario the people are still cautious about the foreign investment and alsoto invest in the BSE Sensex.
