The security markets are those where securities are purchased and traded. Securities are nothing more than assurances. When the individual who owns the securities fails to repay the money, the securities are forfeited. Securities are tradable financial instruments that are used to raise funds in both public and private markets.

Individual investors have been increasing in India. In 2020, they had 39 percent share. According to NSE (National Stock Exchange) figures, it has climbed to 45 percent in 2021.
