(1992) model, value-based and count-based herd ratio measure among FIIs in individual stock of energy sector post turmoil period. Further, run test was employed to check the persistency in herding and multivariate distributed lag to investigate the relationship with the market determinant.FindingsThe result indicates the existence of herding in most of the companies and strong persistence in all the companies. The intensity of buy side herding is higher than sell side. Herding and individual return both are significant driving forces of FIIs herding, while trading volume and market volatility in few companies exhibit inverse relationship.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to investigation of energy sector stock.Social implicationsStock market is significantly influenced by FIIs and their propensity to herd may generate instability in the stock market.
