(2000), the coefficients of squared market return for 43 selected constituent companies of India’s flag index NSE S&P CNX Nifty 50 are not negative, except in cases of HCLTECH, MARUTI, TCS and ULTRACEMCO in the whole period; ACC, AXISBANK, GAIL, GRASIM and ULTRACEMCO in the bullish period and HDFC and TCS in the bearish period, showing evidence that there exists no herding in Indian stock market as a whole and the investors are rational in investment decisions.
