Abstract


The present article aims to study the reaction of Indian Capital Market with respect to the announcement of GST rates and also tries to test semi-strong efficiency of the stock market.

Therefore the present study observes the reaction of stock market to the announcement of much awaited GST rates on May 8th 2017. The study is conducted using the daily closing prices of various NSE sectorial and thematic indices. OLS, GARCH and TGARCH and event study is used for the study. The findings of the study are useful to the portfolio managers, investors, and regulatory bodies.
