Abstract
Economic status of India is greatly imitated by the introduction of new economic policy in 1991. The
Indian Capital Market has perceived a marvelous progression. There was an outburst of investor
interest during the nineties and an equity cult emerged in the country. Foreign Exchange Regulations
Act is one such legislation in this direction. An important recent development has been the entry of
Foreign Institutional Investors as participants in the primary and secondary markets for industrial
securities. In the past several years, investments in developing countries have increased remarkably.
Among the developing countries, India has received considerable capital inflows in recent years. We
apply the GARCH (1, 1) (General Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity) framework to on
selected representative stock indices. The findings reveal that the GARCH (1, 1) model successfully
captures nonlinearity and existence of volatility. The analysis suggests indicates a long persistence
of volatility in Indian stock market especially National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. The
preliminary analysis of data set suggests that volatility in the Indian stock market is time varying in
nature, persist to form clusters and has a long memory process. These findings of the data
characteristics have been consistent with previous studies of Indian markets and justify the
application of GARCH type models. The detailed analysis shows that the TGARCH (1,1) model
outperforms in estimating, predicting and forecasting the stock market volatility.
Keywords: Stock Price volatility, Indian Stock Market, GARCH, EGARCH, TGARCH
Introduction:
A financial system in an institutional arrangement, in which financial surpluses are moved
from the units that are generating surplus income, to the units, that are in need of it. The financial
system plays a vital role in mobilizing the funds from supplying units to the demanding units.
Financial instruments like financial institutions, financial services, financial market, and financial
assets establish the financial system. The activities of the financial system comprised of exchange
and holding of financial assets or monetary resources, in the form of financial institutions, banks
and other intermediaries.
Broadly, the organizational structure of financial system includes the following three
components
Financial Markets,
Financial Institutions and Intermediaries,
Financial Products.
The financial market is the market where the investors buy and sell the financial assets like
stocks, bonds, bills of exchange, commodities and a foreign currency which works as liquid assets.
The financial market plays a pivotal role in the economic development of any country. The large

scale industries in a country mobilize the required resource in the financial market. The financial
markets are broadly classified into following categories.
Money Market: The money market is the market where the short-term needs are achieved
through borrowing and lending of funds, for solving liquidity needs of borrowers and lenders.
Money market instruments are financial claims that have low default risk, maturities under one
year and high marketability.
Capital Market: The capital market is the market where the trade of financial securities like
shares, bonds occurs, where the pricing of financial security is determined by the free market
based on supply and demand. Capital market instruments are financial claims that have a certain
level of risk, long or indefinite maturities and marketability based on supply and demand. The
Capital market comprises of the primary and secondary market. In the primary market,
ownership of the financial securities is issued by companies and government to increase the
capital. And trading of such financial securities occurs in the secondary market.
The primary role of the capital market is to make the investment from the investors who have
surplus funds to the ones who are in need of it. The efficient allocation of the fund by the capital
market depends on the state of the capital market of the country. Therefore, all the countries focus
more on the functioning of the capital market. Indian financial market has faced several challenges
in efficient allocation and mobilization of the capital. Indian financial market has achieved
tremendous growth in the last decade and also continues to achieve the same in the current
decade. The capital market comprises the institutions and mechanisms through which the funds
are brought together and made available to individuals, government and businesses in the public
and private sector. The capital market has two interdependent and inseparable segments they
are, new issues (primary) market and the stock (secondary) market. The sale of new securities
happens in the primary market, whereas, the trade of previously issued securities happens in the
secondary market.
A stock market is a place where buyers and sellers of stocks come together, physically or
virtually. The members range from small individuals investors to large fund managers, who are
present virtually in the market. These members place their requests to the experts of a stock
exchange, who executes this buying and selling of the orders. The stocks are listed and traded on
stock exchanges. Some exchanges are physically located, based on open outcry system where
transactions are carried out on the trading floor. Nowadays it is very common to see a network of
computers to execute the transactions electronically. These are often connected to the internet,
which makes exchanges to be virtual stock exchanges. The whole system is order-driven, the
order placed by an investor is automatically matched with the best limit order. This system
provides more transparency as it shows all buy and sell orders.
Indian Stock Market: The two most prominent stock indices, viz., Bombay Stock Exchange’s
(BSE) Sensitive Index (Sensex) and NSE’s S&P CNX Nifty (Nifty) represents the Indian stock
market. The pioneer of the Indian stock market is the Sensex. It is the older and popular index.
However, of late, with the growing popularity of the NSE, due to its more transparent trading
mechanism and lower trading cost, Nifty has come to be considered as a significant and broader-
based market index. As per SEBI’s Annual Report of 2015-2016 (available at www.sebi.gov.in),
more than 95 per cent of the total business transacted on all the stock exchanges of the India is
from the BSE and NSE. Additionally, according to the data available on the respective exchange
web sites (www.bseindia.com and www.nseindia.com), a major portion (around 75%) of the total
market turnover of the respective stock exchanges is accounted by the index (Sensex and Nifty)
stocks. Regarding market capitalization, BSE and NSE have a place in top five stock exchanges of
developing economies of the world. As of 2015, there is a total of 60 stock exchanges in the world

with a total market capitalization of US $65 trillion. Of these, there are 16 exchanges with a market
capitalization of the US $1 trillion or more, and they account for 87% of global market
capitalization. Out of all stock exchanges in the world, BSE stood at 11th position with a market
capitalization of US$1.83 trillion as on December 2016 and NSE at 12th position with a market
capitalization of US$1.81 trillion as on December 2016.
National Stock Exchange (NSE): The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is located in Mumbai. It was
incorporated in 1992 and became a stock exchange in 1993. The fundamental purpose of forming
this exchange was to introduce transparency in the stock markets. It started its operations in the
wholesale debt market in June 1994. The equity market segment of the National Stock Exchange
commenced its operations in November 1994 whereas, in the derivatives segment, it started it
operations in June 2000. It has completely modern and fully automated screen based trading
system. It is playing an important role to reform the Indian equity market to bring more
transparent, integrated and efficient stock market. The National Stock Exchange replaced open
outcry system, i.e. floor trading with the screen based automated system. NSE also created
National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) which permitted investors to hold and manage
their shares and bonds electronically through the DEMAT account. The electronically security
handling, convenience, transparency, low transaction prices and efficiency in trade which is
affected by NSE, has enhanced the reach of Indian stock market to domestic as well as
international investors.
Stock market volatility: Investment in stock market is always assumed to be risky as the stock
markets are volatile. There is volatility in the stock market because macro-economic variables
influence it and affect stock prices. These factors can have an impact on a single firm’s price and
can be unique to a company. On the other side, some factors like subprime crisis, political
situations and war that commonly affect all the companies. Volatility is the variation in asset
prices change over a particular period. It is challenging to estimate the volatility accurately.
Volatility is responsible for making the stock market risky, but it is this only which provides the
opportunity to earn money to those who can understand it. It gives the investor an opportunity to
take advantage of fluctuation in prices, buy stock when prices fall and sell when prices are
increasing. So, to take advantage of volatility, it is needed to be understood well.
Volatility is measured by variance or the standard deviation of stock returns around their average
value. When measuring the volatility, stock returns are taken rather than stock prices because
mean must be stable at the different period while measuring the dispersion around an average
value. Modeling and forecasting of the volatility of asset returns are important in various
applications related to financial markets such as valuation of derivatives and risk management.
Extensive research has been done the world over in modelling volatility for estimation and
forecasting.
Literature Review:
Uncertainty plays a major role in economic theory. Many economic models assume that the
variance, as a measure of uncertainty, is constant through time. However, empirical evidence
rejects this assumption. Financial time series such as stock returns or exchange rates exhibit so
called volatility clustering. It means that significant changes in these series tend to be followed by
large changes and small changes by minor changes. The technical term given to this behavior is
autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH). As variance (or standard deviation) is
often used as a risk measure in risk management systems, accurate modelling and forecasting of
the variance have received a lot of attention in the investment community for the last two decades.

In a seminar paper, (Engle, 1982) for the first time, proposed to model time varying conditional
variance with the ARCH process that uses past disturbances to model the variances of the series
and allows the variance of the error term to change over time. (Bollerslev, 1986) Generalized the
ARCH process by allowing the conditional variance to be a function of prior period’s squared
errors as well as its past conditional variances. Following the introduction of models of ARCH by
(Engle, 1982) and their generalization by (Bollerslev, 1986), there have been numerous
refinements of the approach to modelling conditional volatility to capture the stylized
characteristics of the data. Empirically, the family of GARCH (generalized ARCH) models has been
very successful in describing the financial information. Of these models, the GARCH (1, 1) is often
considered by most investigators to be an excellent model for estimating conditional volatility for
a broad range of financial data.
Though in most of the cases, the ARCH and the GARCH models are apparently successful in
estimating and forecasting the volatility of the financial time series data, they cannot capture some
of the important features of the data. The most interesting feature not addressed by these models
is the ‘leverage effect’ where the conditional variance tends to respond asymmetrically to positive
and negative shocks in errors. To solve this problem, many nonlinear extensions of the GARCH
model have been proposed. (Nelson, 1991) proposed an exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model
based on a logarithmic expression of the conditional variability in the variable under analysis.
Later, some modifications were derived from this method. One of them is the Threshold GARCH
(TGARCH) method which was introduced by (Zakoian, 1994). The model developed by Glosten,
Jagannathan and Runkle (Glosten and Jagannathan, 1993) has been considered the best in
estimating the impact of positive and negative shocks on volatility (Engle and Ng, 1993).
Data and Methodology:
Research methodology is a way of systematically solving the research problem. It deals with the
research design used and methods used to present the study. It refers to the systematic method,
for defining the problem, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain
conclusions either in the form of solutions towards the concerned problem. The daily closing price
of the selected sector Indices and its selected companies of the National Stock Exchange of India
(NSE) are collected from 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2016 to analyses the existence of the
price volatility. This research study is based on secondary data, which is mainly collected from
NSE website. CNX Nifty index is used as a proxy for the stock market. The daily closing price of
NSE index Nifty 50 is considered. The NIFTY 50 is a diversified stock index from 50 companies
listed on NSE representing for twelve sectors of the economy. It is utilized for an assortment of
purposes, for example, benchmarking fund portfolios, index based derivatives and index funds.
Methodology
Returns: Daily returns are identified as the difference in the natural logarithm of the closing index
value for the two consecutive trading days. The daily closing price collected during the period of
study for the selected indices are converted into returns. Volatility is defined as:
𝜎 = √1
𝑛−1 ∑ (𝑅𝑖 − �̅�)2 𝑛
𝑖=1 (1)
�̅� – Average log return for the collected samples.
Descriptive Statistics: Descriptive Statistics are used to present quantitative descriptions in a
manageable form. It is used to describe the basic features of the data considered for the study. In

this study, under descriptive statistics, the Mean, Median, Minimum, Maximum, Standard
Deviation, Skewness and Kurtosis of Daily log returns are calculated.
Econometric Non-Linear Models
GARCH (1, 1): In empirical applications, it is often difficult to estimate models with a large
number of parameters, say ARCH (q). In an ARCH (1) model, next period's variance only depends
on last period's squared residual so a crisis that caused a significant residual would not have the
sort of persistence that we observe after actual crises. To circumvent this problem (Bollerslev,
1986) proposed Generalized ARCH (p, q) or GARCH (p, q) models. The financial modelling
professionals often prefer GARCH (1, 1) because it provides a more real-world context than other
forms when trying to predict the prices and rates of financial instruments. The conditional
variance of the GARCH (1, 1) process is specified as:
𝜎𝑡2 = 𝛼0 + 𝛼1 𝑎𝑡−1
2 + 𝛽1𝜎𝑡−12 (2)
With α0 > 0, α1 ≥ 0, β1 ≥ 0 and (α1 + β1) is less than 1 to ensure that conditional variance is positive.
In GARCH process, unexpected returns of the same magnitude (irrespective of their sign) produce
the same amount of volatility. The large GARCH lag coefficients β1 indicate that shocks to
conditional variance take a long time to die out, so volatility is ‘persistent.’ Large GARCH error
coefficient α1 means that volatility reacts quite intensely to market movements and so if α1 is
relatively high and β1 is relatively low, then volatilities tend to be ‘spiky’. If (α + β) is close to unity,
then a shock at time t will persist for many future periods. A high value of it implies a ‘long
memory.’
The general process for a GARCH model involves three steps. The first is to estimate a best-fitting
autoregressive model; secondly, compute autocorrelations of the error term and lastly, test for
significance. GARCH model is applied for all indices and all the companies considered for the
study.
EGARCH (1, 1): The main drawback of symmetric GARCH is that the conditional variance is
unable to respond asymmetrically to rise and fall in the stock returns. Hence, a number of models
have been introduced to deal with the issue and are called asymmetric models viz., EGARCH,
TGARCH and PGARCH, which are used for capturing the asymmetric phenomena. To study the
relation between asymmetric volatility and return, the EGARCH (1, 1) and TGARCH (1, 1) models
are used in the study. EGARCH model is based on the logarithmic expression of the conditional
variability. The presence of leverage effect can be tested, and this model enables to find out the
best model, which capture the symmetries of the Indian stock market (Nelson, 1991) and hence
the following equation:
ln (𝜎𝑡2) = 𝜔 + β1ln (𝜎𝑡−1
2 ) + 𝛼1 {|𝜀𝑡−1
𝜎𝑡−1− √
𝜋
2|} − γ
𝜀𝑡−1
𝜎𝑡−1 (3)
The left-hand side is the log of the conditional variance. The coefficient γ is known as the
asymmetry or leverage term. The hypothesis can test the presence of leverage effects that γ < 0.
The impact is symmetric if γ ≠ 0.
TARCH (1, 1): In TGARCH model, it has been noticed that positive and negative shocks of equal
magnitude have a different impact on the stock market volatility, which may be attributed to a
“Leverage effect” (Black, 1976). Also, negative shocks show higher volatility than the positive
shock of the same magnitude (Engle and Ng, 1993). The threshold GARCH model was introduced
by (Zakoian, 1994) and (Glosten and Jagannathan, 1993). The main target of this model is to
capture the asymmetry effect regarding positive and negative shocks. The generalized
specification of the threshold GARCH for the conditional variance is given by:
𝜎𝑡2 = 𝜔 + 𝛼1 𝜀𝑡−1
2 + γ 𝜀𝑡−1 2 𝐼𝑡−1 + β1 𝜎𝑡−1

The γ is known as the asymmetry or leverage parameter. In this model, good news (𝜀𝑡−1 > 0) and
the bad news (𝜀𝑡−1< 0) have differential effect on the conditional variance. Good news has an
impact of𝛼𝑖, while bad news has impact on 𝛼𝑖 + 𝛾𝑖. Hence, if γ is significant and positive, negative
shocks have a larger effect on 𝜎𝑡2 than the positive shocks.
Empirical Analysis:
The descriptive statistics of the Nifty 50 is presented in Table 1. The mean values of the selected
indices are positive during the period of the study from January 2006 to December 2016,
indicating the fact that price has increased over the period. The Nifty 50 has negative (Left skewed
distribution) skewness, which means that the selected indices are having the higher possibility of
getting positive returns, which may be higher than the average returns. Kurtosis of the returns for
the selected indices is higher than 3. This Higher kurtosis value indicates that the unexpected
return distributions are not normal, which implies that the return series is fat tailed and does not
follow a normal distribution. Also, the return series is sharply peaked about the mean when
compared with the normal distribution.

Figure 1 shows the daily closing index value of Nifty index Nifty 50 from 01-Jan-2006 to 31-Dec-
2016. The index shows substantial growth in 2006 and 2007. In 2008 and 2009 the index was
returned to the original value in 2006. This is due to subprime financial crisis in US Stock markets,
which influenced the other stock markets in the world. After 2009 the index sees ups and downs,
but tendency shows that there is a continuous growth. This is one of the layman’s evidence of
volatility in stock price for the companies listed in the index Nifty 50. Figure 2 shows the log return
of daily closing index value of Nifty index Nifty 50 from 01-Jan-2006 to 31-Dec-2016. It is
undeniable that the magnitude of the everyday stock returns is changing in Nifty 50. The extent
of this shift is not consistent over the time, but it is sometimes large and sometimes small. This
phenomenon depicts the existence of volatility clustering in the selected return series of Nifty 50.

The assumption of GARCH (1, 1) model is that the future volatility declines geometrically
over time and has less influence of a return shock. This GARCH (1, 1) model is further predictable

concerning volatility clustering, where the substantial changes in stock returns are probably
followed by further huge variations in the stock returns. The three coefficients in the variance
equation are listed as α0, the intercept; ARCH (1) - α1, the first lag of the squared return; and β1 -
GARCH (1), the first lag of the conditional variance. The statistical parameters like Standard
errors, Z-statistics and p-values computed in Gretl and populated in the table.
Table 2: GARCH (1, 1) estimates for Nifty 50
Source: Computed based on secondary data using Gretl; α0: Long run average of the variance; α1:
The ARCH term which is first lag of the squared return, represents news about volatility from the
previous period; β1: The GARCH term which is the first lag of the conditional variance.
From Table 2, it is clear that around 89% (β1) of the information comes from the past information.
The effect of new information has minimal impact of about 9.9% (α1). The long run average
variance (α0) is close to zero, and its implications are substantially negligible. There is an
interesting feature in the above graphs that the volatility is higher when prices are falling and
lower when prices are rising. This means that negative returns result in higher volatility whereas
positive returns lead to lower volatility. This is called asymmetric volatility effect. And, this is not
captured by GARCH (1, 1) model. Hence, EGARCH (1, 1) model is used for stock return volatility
estimation.
EGARCH (1, 1)
Table 3 shows the estimates of coefficients using EGARCH (1, 1) model for the index Nifty 50 with
the given data. In this model, α is the GARCH term that measures the impact of last period’s
variance of the forecast. A positive α indicates volatility clustering implying that positive stock
price changes are associated with further positive changes and the other way around. The ARCH
term β is the measure of the effect of news about volatility from the previous period on current
period volatility. The term gamma (γ) is the measure of leverage effect. The null hypothesis may
test the presence of leverage effect that the coefficient of the last term in the regression is negative
(γ < 0). Thus, for a leverage effect, we would see γ > 0. The impact is asymmetric if this coefficient
is different from zero (γ ≠ 0). Ideally, γ is expected to be negative implying that bad news has a
bigger impact on volatility than the good news of the same magnitude. The sum of the ARCH and
GARCH coefficients, (α + β) specifies that the volatility shock is persistent over time.

represents news about volatility from the previous period; β: The GARCH term which is the first

correlation between realized volatility and the historical return.
The condition for stationary is that the sum of ARCH and GARCH coefficient is less than 1 (α +β
<1). Hence the stationary condition is not met for the selected return series using EGARCH model.
Therefore this model is not suitable for modelling and forecasting of the selected return series. As
the value of Gamma (γ≠ 0) is non-zero, the results of the EGRACH model identifies the presence
of asymmetry in volatility in the selected return series. But this model cannot provide information
whether good news or bad news that increases or decreases the volatility. However, this feature
of volatility modelling is captured by TGARCH model.
TGARCH (1, 1)
Table 4 shows the estimates of coefficients using TGARCH (1, 1) model for the index Nifty 50 with
the given data. In this model, good news, 𝜀𝑡−1 > 0 and bad news,𝜀𝑡−1 < 0 have differential effects
on the conditional variance.

represents news about volatility from the previous period; β: The GARCH term which is the first
lag of the conditional variance; γ: identifying “good news” and “bad news” have a different impact.
The good news has an impact of the factor α, while bad news has an impact α + γ. The value γ > 0,
indicates that the bad news increases volatility. This shows the presence of leverage effect in the
selected return series. Also the, value of Gamma (γ ≠ 0) not equal to zero, conveys that the news
impact is asymmetric. The estimated form of TGARCH model for Nifty 50 is:
𝜎𝑡2 = 0.0000037 + 0.0926 𝜀𝑡−1
2 + 0.4743𝜀𝑡−1 2 𝐼𝑡−1 + 0.8815 𝜎𝑡−1

It shows that the good news has an impact of 0.0926 magnitudes and the bad news has an impact
of 0.0926 +0.3817 = 0.4743 magnitudes in the Nifty 50. Thus, it is inferred that in this index, the
bad news increases the volatility substantially. Also, the time varying stock return volatility is
asymmetric. From the econometric analysis of GARCH family of models, it is evident that TGARCH
model outperforms the other GARCH models in estimation and prediction of the market volatility
for the return series considered for this study.

Conclusion:
In today’s scenario, volatility is calculated for various types of financial variables, such as stock
return, interest rate and exchange rate. Stock return volatility measures the variability of the stock
return around the average value of the return. More specifically it is the standard deviation of the
stock return. It is found that the volatility prevails in all the stock market around the world. Due
to the arrival of the new information which are available publicly or privately the expected value
of the stock change. This will result into either increase or decrease in the prices and thereby
volatility enters in the stock return. Volatility is natural phenomenon in the stock market but
excessive volatility is a matter of concern which arises due to the irrational behavior of the trader,
investor and lack of transparency in the operations of the stock market. The excessive volatility
may lead to loss of the investor’s life time savings and market traders insolvent. The preliminary
analysis of data set suggests that volatility in the Indian stock market is time varying in nature,
persist to form clusters and has a long memory process. These findings of the data characteristics
have been consistent with previous studies of Indian capital markets and justify the application
of GARCH type models for the case. The detailed analysis shows that the TGARCH (1,1) model
outperforms in estimating, predicting and forecasting the stock market volatility. Considering the
factors like ability to capture the Leverage effect, ability to distinguish between good news and
bad news (asymmetric effect) and forecast accuracy, TGARCH (1,1) model is found to be best
model in the study.
