which carry fixed interest rates and backed by RBI . The securities traded in this market<br />

are stable in value and are much sought after by banks and other institutions.<br />

The industrial securities market is the market for equities and debentures of<br />

<strong>com</strong>panies of the corporate sector. This market further classified into (a) New Issues<br />

Markets; for raising fresh capital in the form of shares and debentures, and (b) Old Issues<br />

Market; for buying and selling shares and debentures of existing <strong>com</strong>panies–this market is<br />
