Since the establishment of national commodity exchanges in 2003, the commodity futures market has witnessed phenomenal growth with traded volumes crossing 77,000 billion in 2009-10. However, commodity derivatives have not yet achieved their full potential for a number of infrastructure and awareness related issues. Lack of a network of well spread spot markets, availability of research material, and intelligence on market trends on various commodities are limiting factors, resulting in poor understanding of the dynamics of the commodity markets. Like any other emerging area, there is dearth of independent, credible and easily accessible research material on the subject in India. It is to fill this knowledge and information gap that NICR was set up.
