The study found out that S&P CNX Nifty Index returns earned high return with high risk and the Exchange rate returns recorded low return with low risk. Both returns were normally distributed during the study period. Further it found that there was no significant relationship between S&P CNX Nifty Index and Exchange rate returns. The ADF test concludes that the time series were stationary at level difference itself.
