Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) accelerates the economic development of a country by facilitating capital, technology and skills inflow. It bridges the economic gap amongst countries in exchange of resources where developing and emerging countries are a major beneficiary of this. India has been a major recipient of global capital inflows and became a hot investment destination in the world, pouring in lot of foreign capital which is boosting countries GDP, creating more employment opportunities and infrastructural development as FDI is a major contributor for this. Capital inflow into the primary and secondary market of the stock exchanges are a clear reflection on the quantum of positive impact FDI has made on the Indian capital market. This paper attempts to study the impact of total FDI inflow and measures the performance of some key benchmark indices that can act as indicators to the economic development of the country. In particular, the S&P BSE SENSEX and its various indices like S&P BSE AUTO, REALITY, HEALTHCARE, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, OIL & GAS and FMCG are taken. The Study is based on fourteen years annual data from 2006 to 2019 obtained from secondary sources. The statistical tools used for the study are Karl Pearson’s coefficient correlation, Simple Linear Regression analysis, Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), trend percentage and compounded annual growth rate were analysed using statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS). Our study concludes that FDI has a significant impact on S&P BSE SENSEX and its indices. These findings can help our policy makers, regulators and exchanges to build better financial products for the capital market.
