Central banking policies have a significant impact on financial market performance in emerging economies. This study aims to assess the impact of central banking policies on financial market performance in India. We analyze the key policies implemented by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and their impact on the stock market and foreign exchange market. We use a regression analysis to examine the relationship between central banking policies and financial market performance. Our results indicate that central banking policies have a significant impact on financial market performance in India. The study concludes that the RBI's policies have contributed positively to the financial market performance in India.
