Dear Ravi,

Let's understand about Indian Financial Markets. Financial markets is divided into 3 parts-

Money Market- It is used for lending and borrowing of short term funds. E.g., Call market, Treasury bill market, commercial paper, certificate of deposits, repos market etc.
Foreign Exchange Market
Capital Market/ Securities Market - It deals with long term funds. It is divided into 2 parts- Primary Market and Secondary Market.

Let's Understand about Primary and Secondary Market

PRIMARY MARKET-

A primary market is that segment of capital market where mobilization of finance is made from Investors to corporate capital structures by issue of new securities in the form of IPO (Initial Public Offering) and FPO ( Follow- up Public Offerings) are sold by Issuer company to the Public in the market.
