Breaking Down the Bulls & Bears: A NSE-BSE Comparative Study

J. Abhinanditha, B. Anuradha, CS. Jayanthi Prasad, T. Aditya Sai Srinivas

Abstract


The Indian stock market is a vital part of the country’s economy, with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) serving as its two biggest trading platforms. This study takes a closer look at how these exchanges compare in terms of performance, volatility, and investor appeal between 2018 and 2023. By analyzing historical stock data and using statistical tools like descriptive analysis, correlation, and variance calculations, we explore which exchange offers better stability and returns. The results show that while NSE provides higher liquidity and faster trades, it also comes with greater price fluctuations. On the other hand, BSE tends to be more stable but has lower trading volumes. These insights can help investors make informed decisions based on their risk tolerance and investment strategy. The paper also highlights areas for further research, such as the influence of global markets and economic policies on Indian stock trading.
