The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) was established in 1992 as the second stock exchange in the country to accelerate reforms in the Indian capital markets. It is now the largest stock exchange in India with over 1,000 listed companies and 726 trading members. The NSE was set up with the goal of providing a modern, fully electronic trading platform and it uses advanced technology like a satellite network to connect traders across India. Some key developments include launching indices like Nifty 50, starting internet-based trading in 2000, and establishing different segments for trading various financial instruments.

The Bombay Stock Exchange is known as the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its history to the
1850s, when stockbrokers would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The
location of these meetings changed many times, as the number of brokers constantly increased.
The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official organization
known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In 1956, the BSE became the first
stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities Contracts
Regulation Act.
The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE Sensex in 1986, giving the BSE a means to
measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its
derivatives market, trading Sensex futures contracts. The development of Sensex options along
with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform.
Historically an open-cry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an
electronic trading system in 1995. It took the exchange only fifty days to make this transition.

Management System Standard BS 7799-2-2002 certification for its BSE On-Line trading System (BOLT).

Exchange is the largest of 22 exchanges in India, with over 6,000 listed companies. It is also the
fifth largest exchange in the world, with market capitalization of $466 billion.

2. The Bombay Stock Exchange uses the BSE Sensex, an index of 30 large, developed BSE stocks.
This index gives a measure of the overall performance of the Bombay Stock Exchange, and is
closely followed around the world. Based on the Sensex, the BSE equity market has grown
significantly since 1990.
In addition to individual stocks, the BSE also has a market in derivatives, which was the first to
be established in India. Listed derivatives on the exchange include stock futures and options,
index futures and options, and weekly options.
The Bombay Stock Exchange is also actively involved with the development of the retail debt
market. The debt market in India is considered extremely important, as the country continues to
develop and depends on this type of investment for growth. Until recently, the debt market in
India was limited to a wholesale market, with banks and financial institutions as the only
participants. The Bombay Stock Exchange believes that a retail market will bring great
opportunities to individual investors through better diversification.

5. History of the National Stock Exchange of India :
Capital market reforms in India and the launch of the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) accelerated the incorporation of the second Indian stock exchange called the National
Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992. After a few years of operations, the NSE has become the largest
stock exchange in India.
Three segments of the NSE trading platform were established one after another. The Wholesale
Debt Market (WDM) commenced operations in June 1994 and the Capital Market (CM) segment
was opened at the end of 1994. Finally, the Futures and Options segment began operating in
2000. Today the NSE takes the 14th position in the top 40 futures exchanges in the world.
In 1996, the National Stock Exchange of India launched S&P CNX Nifty and CNX Junior
Indices that make up 100 most liquid stocks in India. CNX Nifty is a diversified index of 50
stocks from 25 different economy sectors. The Indices are owned and managed by India Index
Services and Products Ltd (IISL) that has a consulting and licensing agreement with Standard &
Poor's.
In 1998, the National Stock Exchange of India launched its web-site and was the first exchange
in India that started trading stock on the Internet in 2000. The NSE has also proved its leadership
in the Indian financial market by gaining many awards such as 'Best IT Usage Award' by
Computer Society in India (in 1996 and 1997) and CHIP Web Award by CHIP magazine (1999).
About the National Stock Exchange of India :
In the fast growing Indian financial market, there are 23 stock exchanges trading securities. The
National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) situated in Mumbai - is the largest and most advanced
exchange with 1016 companies listed and 726 trading members.
The NSE is owned by the group of leading financial institutions such as Indian Bank or Life
Insurance Corporation of India. However, in the totally de-mutualised Exchange, the ownership
as well as the management does not have a right to trade on the Exchange. Only qualified traders
can be involved in the securities trading.
The NSE is one of the few exchanges in the world trading all types of securities on a single
platform, which is divided into three segments: Wholesale Debt Market (WDM), Capital Market
(CM), and Futures & Options (F&O) Market. Each segment has experienced a significant growth
throughout a few years of their launch. While the WDM segment has accumulated the annual
growth of over 36% since its opening in 1994, the CM segment has increased by even 61%
during the same period.
The National Stock Exchange of India has stringent requirements and criteria for the companies
listed on the Exchange. Minimum capital requirements, project appraisal, and company's track

6. record are just a few of the criteria. In addition, listed companies pay variable listing fees based
on their corporate capital size.
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. provides its clients with a single, fully electronic
trading platform that is operated through a VSAT network. Unlike most world exchanges, the
NSE uses the satellite communication system that connects traders from 345 Indian cities. The
advanced technologies enable up to 6 million trades to be operated daily on the NSE trading
platform.
