From 2000 to 2010, the estimation of the number of commodity index traders quadrupled, also, the number of hedge funds tripled.

Simultaneously, there occurs a problem of extremely higher prices along with volatility in commodity prices in India. However, studies on the financialization of the Commodity Market (CM) in India are not sufficient. This study was presented for analyzing the role of the financialization of CMs in India.
