THE ORGANISATION
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the
High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which
recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions
(FIs) to provide access to investors from all across the country on an equal
footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial
Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in
November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other stock exchanges in the
country.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts
(Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the
Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market
(Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994 and operations in
Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
Mission
NSE's mission is setting the agenda for change in the securities markets in India.
The NSE was set-up with the main objectives of:
• establishing a nation-wide trading facility for equities, debt instruments and
hybrids,
• ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an
appropriate communication network,

13
• providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to investors
using electronic trading systems,
• enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements systems,
and
• meeting the current international standards of securities markets.
The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices and technology have
become industry benchmarks and are being emulated by other market
participants. NSE is more than a mere market facilitator. It's that force which is
guiding the industry towards new horizons and greater opportunities.
Logo
The logo of the NSE symbolises a single nationwide securities trading facility
ensuring equal and fair access to investors, trading members and issuers all over
the country. The initials of the Exchange viz., N, S and E have been etched on
the logo and are distinctly visible. The logo symbolises use of state of the art
information technology and satellite connectivity to bring about the change within
the securities industry. The logo symbolises vibrancy and unleashing of creative
energy to constantly bring about change through innovation

CORPORATE STRUCTURE
NSE is one of the first de-mutualised stock exchanges in the country, where the
ownership and management of the Exchange is completely divorced from the
right to trade on it. Though the impetus for its establishment came from policy
makers in the country, it has been set up as a public limited company, owned by
the leading institutional investors in the country.
From day one, NSE has adopted the form of a demutualised exchange - the
ownership, management and trading is in the hands of three different sets of
people. NSE is owned by a set of leading financial institutions, banks, insurance
companies and other financial intermediaries and is managed by professionals,
who do not directly or indirectly trade on the Exchange. This has completely
eliminated any conflict of interest and helped NSE in aggressively pursuing
policies and practices within a public interest framework.
The NSE model however, does not preclude, but in fact accommodates
involvement, support and contribution of trading members in a variety of ways. Its
Board comprises of senior executives from promoter institutions, eminent
professionals in the fields of law, economics, accountancy, finance, taxation, etc,
public representatives, nominees of SEBI and one full time executive of the
Exchange.
16
While the Board deals with broad policy issues, decisions relating to market
operations are delegated by the Board to various committees constituted by it.
Such committees include representatives from trading members, professionals,
the public and the management. The day-to-day management of the Exchange is
delegated to the Managing Director who is supported by a team of professional
staff.

India Index Services & Products Ltd. (IISL)
India Index Services and Products Limited (IISL), a joint venture between NSE
and CRISIL Ltd. (formerly the Credit Rating Information Services of India
Limited), was set up in May 1998 to provide a variety of indices and index related
services and products for the Indian capital markets. It has a consulting and

past, within India and abroad. These include index based derivatives traded on
NSE and Singapore Exchange (SIMEX) and a number of index funds
National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL)
In order to solve the myriad problems associated with trading in physical
securities, NSE joined hands with the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI)
and the Unit Trust of India (UTI) to promote dematerialisation of securities.
33
Together they set up National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), the first
depository in India.
NSDL commenced operations in November 1996 and has since established a
national infrastructure of international standard to handle trading and settlement
in dematerialised form and thus completely eliminated the risks to investors
associated with fake/bad/stolen paper.
DotEx International Limited
DotEx was formed to provide world-class internet trading platforms which allows
members of NSE to offer online trading facilities to their customers. Members of

participants such as members of NSE, depository participants and banks can
offer web-based services to their customers. As a neutral aggregator and
infrastructure provider, DotEx offers choice and convenience to investors. DotEx
was a joint venture between i-flex Solutions Ltd. and NSE.IT Ltd. Recently NSE
has taken over the shareholding and management of DotEx.
DotEx products may be classified under the following broad categories:

34
NSE Technology
Across the globe, developments in information, communication and network
technologies have created paradigm shifts in the securities market operations.
Technology has enabled organisations to build new sources of competitive
advantage, bring about innovations in products and services, and to provide for
new business opportunities. Stock exchanges all over the world have realised the
potential of IT and have moved over to electronic trading systems, which are
cheaper, have wider reach and provide a better mechanism for trade and post
trade execution.
NSE believes that technology will continue to provide the necessary impetus for
the organisation to retain its competitive edge and ensure timeliness and
satisfaction in customer service. In recognition of the fact that technology will
continue to redefine the shape of the securities industry, NSE stresses on
innovation and sustained investment in technology to remain ahead of
competition. NSE's IT set-up is the largest by any company in India. It uses
satellite communication technology to energise participation from around 400
cities spread all over the country. In the recent past, capacity enhancement
measures were taken up in regard to the trading systems so as to effectively
meet the requirements of increased users and associated trading loads. With
upgradation of trading hardware, NSE can handle up to 1 million trades per day.
NSE has also put in place NIBIS (NSE's Internet Based Information System) for
on-line real-time dissemination of trading information over the internet. In order to
35
capitalise on in-house expertise in technology, NSE set up a separate company,
NSE.IT, in October 1999. This is expected to provide a platform for taking up new
IT assignments both within and outside India and attaining global exposure.
NEAT is a state-of-the-art client server based application. At the server end, all
trading information is stored in an in-memory database to achieve minimum
response time and maximum system availability for users. The trading server
software runs on a fault tolerant STRATUS main frame computer while the client
software runs under Windows on PCs.
The telecommunications network uses X.25 protocol and is the backbone of the
automated trading system. Each trading member trades on the NSE with other
members through a PC located in the trading member's office, anywhere in India.
The trading members on the Wholesale Debt Market segment are linked to the
central computer at the NSE through dedicated 64Kbps leased lines and VSAT
terminals. These leased lines are multiplexed using dedicated 2 Mbps, optical-
fibre links. The WDM participants connect to the trading system through dial-up
links.
The Exchange uses powerful RISC -based UNIX servers, procured from Digital
and HP for the back office processing. The latest software platforms like
ORACLE 7 RDBMS, GUPTA - SQL/ORACLE FORMS 4.5 Front - Ends, etc. have
been used for the Exchange applications. The Exchange currently manages its
data centre operations, system and database administration, design and
36
development of in-house systems and design and implementation of
telecommunication solutions.
NSE is one of the largest interactive VSAT based stock exchanges in the world.
Today it supports more than 3000 VSATs and is expected to grow to more than
4000 VSATs in the next year. The NSE- network is the largest private wide area
network in the country and the first extended C- Band VSAT network in the world.
Currently more than 9000 users are trading on the real time-online NSE
application. There are over 15 large computer systems which include non-stop
fault-tolerant computers and high end UNIX servers, operational under one roof
to support the NSE applications. This coupled with the nation wide VSAT network
makes NSE the country's largest Information Technology user.
In an ongoing effort to improve NSE's infrastructure, a corporate network has
been implemented, connecting all the offices at Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta and
Chennai. This corporate network enables speedy inter-office communications
and data and voice connectivity between offices.
In keeping with the current trend, NSE has gone online on the Internet. Apart
from having a 2mbps link to VSNL and our own domain for internal browsing and
e-mail purposes, we have also set up our own Web site. Currently, NSE is
displaying its live stock quotes on the web site (www.nseindia.com) which are
updated online.
37
Equities
NSE started trading in the equities segment (Capital Market segment) on
November 3, 1994 and within a short span of 1 year became the largest
exchange in India in terms of volumes transacted.
Trading volumes in the equity segment have grown rapidly with average daily
turnover increasing from Rs.17 crores during 1994-95 to Rs.4,328 crores during
2003-04. During the year 2003-04, NSE reported a turnover of Rs.1,099,535
crores in the equities segment accounting for 68.60% of the total Indian securities
market.
The Equities section provides you with an insight into the equities segment of
NSE and also provides real-time quotes and statistics of the equities market. In-
depth information regarding listing of securities, trading systems & processes,
clearing and settlement, risk management, trading statistics etc are available
here.
38
LISTING
Listing means admission of securities of an issuer to trading privileges on a stock
exchange through a formal agreement. The prime objective of admission to
dealings on the Exchange is to provide liquidity and marketability to securities, as
also to provide a mechanism for effective management of trading.
Listing on NSE provides qualifying companies with the broadest access to
investors, the greatest market depth and liquidity, cost-effective access to capital,
the highest visibility, the fairest pricing, and investor benefits. NSE trading
terminals are now situated in various cities and towns across the length and
breath of India.
Securities listed on the Exchange are required to fulfill the eligibility criteria for
listing. Various types of securities of a company are traded under a unique
symbol and different series.
NSE plays an important role in helping an Indian companies access equity
capital, by providing a liquid and well-regulated market. NSE has about 800
companies listed representing the length, breadth and diversity of the Indian
economy which includes from hi-tech to heavy industry, software, refinery, public
sector units, infrastructure, and financial services. Listing on NSE raises a
company’s profile among investors in India and abroad. Trade data is distributed
worldwide through various news-vending agencies.
39
More importantly, each and every NSE listed company is required to satisfy
stringent financial, public distribution and management requirements. High listing
standards foster investor confidence and also bring credibility into the markets.
NSE lists securities in its Capital Market (Equities) segment and its Wholesale
Debt Market segment

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE
71
ABOUT BSE
Bombay Stock Exchange Limited is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich
heritage. Popularly known as "BSE", it was established as "The Native Share &
Stock Brokers Association" in 1875. It is the first stock exchange in the country to
obtain permanent recognition in 1956 from the Government of India under the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.The Exchange's pivotal and pre-
eminent role in the development of the Indian capital market is widely recognized
and its index, SENSEX, is tracked worldwide. Earlier an Association of Persons
(AOP), the Exchange is now a demutualised and corporatised entity incorporated
under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the
BSE(Corporatisation and Demutualisation) Scheme, 2005 notified by the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
With demutualisation, the trading rights and ownership rights have been de-
linked effectively addressing concerns regarding perceived and real conflicts of
interest. The Exchange is professionally managed under the overall direction of
the Board of Directors.The Board comprises eminent professionals,
representatives of Trading Members and the Managing Director of the Exchange.
The Board is inclusive and is designed to benefit from theparticipation of market
intermediaries.

based.The day-to-dayoperations of the Exchange are managed by the Managing
Director and a management team of professionals.

HERITAGE
The oldest exchange in Asia and the first exchange in the country to be granted
permanent recognition under the Securities Contract Regulation Act, 1956,
Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) has had an interesting rise to
prominence over the past 130 years.
While the BSE is now synonymous with Dalal Street, it wasn’t always so. In
fact the first venues of the earliest stock broker meetings in the 1850s were
amidst rather natural environs - under banyan trees - in front of the Town Hall,
where Horniman Circle is now situated. A decade later, the brokers moved
their venue to another set of foliage, this time under banyan trees at the
junction of Meadows Street and Mahatma Gandhi Road. As the number of
brokers increased, they had to shift from place to place, and wherever they
went, through sheer habit, they overflowed in to the streets. At last, in 1874,
found a permanent place, and one that they could, quite literally, call their
own. The new place was, aptly, called Dalal Street.
The journey of BSE is as eventful and interesting as the history of India’s
securitiesmarkets. India’s biggest bourse, in terms of listed companies and
market capitalisation, BSE has played a pioneering role in the Indian
74
Securities Market - one of the oldest in the world. Much before actual
legislations were enacted, BSE had formulated comprehensive set of Rules
and Regulations for the Indian Capital Markets. It also laid down best
practices adopted by the Indian Capital Markets after India gained its
Independence.
Perhaps, there would not be any leading corporate in India, which has not
sourced BSE’s services in resource mobilization.
BSE as a brand is synonymous with capital markets in India. The BSE
SENSEX is the benchmark equity index that reflects the robustness of the
economy and finance. At par with international standards, BSE has been a
pioneer in several areas. It has several firsts to its credit even in an intensely

An equally important accomplishment of BSE is the launch of a nationwide
investor awareness campaign - Safe Investing in the Stock Market - under
which nationwide awareness campaigns and dissemination of information
through print and electronic medium was undertaken. BSE also actively
promoted the securities market awareness campaign of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India.
In 2002, the name The Stock Exchange, Mumbai, was changed to BSE. BSE,
which had introduced securities trading in India, replaced its open outcry
system of trading in 1995, when the totally automated trading through the
BSE Online trading (BOLT) system was put into practice. The BOLT network
was expanded, nationwide, in 1997. It was at the BSE's International
Convention Hall that India’s 1st Bell ringing ceremony in the history Capital
76
Markets was held on February 18th, 2002. It was the listing ceremony of
Bharti Tele ventures Ltd.
BSE with its long history of capital market development is fully geared to
continue its contributions to further the growth of the securities markets of the
country, thus helping India increase its sphere of influence in international
financial markets.
For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in
India, 125 years of experience seem to be a proud milestone. A lot has
changed since 1875 when 318 persons became members of what today is
called "Bombay Stock Exchange Limited" by paying a princely amount of Re1.
Since then, the stock market in the country has passed through both good
and bad periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one.
Till the decade of eighties, there was no measure or scale that could precisely
measure the various ups and downs in the Indian stock market. Bombay
Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) in 1986 came out with a Stock Index that
subsequently became the barometer of the Indian Stock Market.
BSE-SENSEX, first compiled in 1986 is a "Market Capitalization-Weighted"
index of 30 component stocks representing a sample of large, well-
established and financially sound companies. The base year of BSE-SENSEX
77
is 1978-79. The index is widely reported in both domestic and international
markets through print as well as electronic media. BSE-SENSEX is not only
scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted construction and
review methodology. The "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology is a
widely followed index construction methodology on which majority of global
equity benchmarks are based.
The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade
gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened
activity in terms of various bull and bear runs. More recently, the bourses in
India witnessed a similar frenzy in the 'TMT' sectors. The BSE-SENSEX
captured all these happenings in the most judicial manner. One can identify
the booms and bust of the Indian equity market through BSE-SENSEX.
The launch of BSE-SENSEX in 1986 was later followed up in January 1989
by introduction of BSE National Index (Base: 1983-84 = 100). It comprised of
100 stocks listed at five major stock exchanges in India at Mumbai, Calcutta,
Delhi, Ahmedabad and Madras. The BSE National Index was renamed as
BSE-100 Index from October 14, 1996 and since then it is calculated taking
into consideration only the prices of stocks listed at BSE.
78
With a view to provide a better representation of the increased number of
companies listed, increased market capitalisation and the new industry
groups, the Exchange constructed and launched on 27th May, 1994, two new
index series viz., the 'BSE-200' and the 'DOLLEX-200' indices. Since then,
BSE has come a long way in attuning itself to the varied needs of investors
and market participants. In order to fulfill the need of the market participants
for still broader, segment-specific and sector-specific indices, the Exchange
has continuously been increasing the range of its indices. The launch of BSE-
200 Index in 1994 was followed by the launch of BSE-500 Index and 5
sectoral indices in 1999. In 2001, BSE launched the BSE-PSU Index,
DOLLEX-30 and the country's first free-float based index - the BSE TECk
Index taking the family of BSE Indices to 13.
The Exchange also disseminates the Price-Earnings Ratio, the Price to Book
Value Ratio and the Dividend Yield Percentage on day-to-day basis of all its
major indices.
The values of all BSE indices (except the Dollar version of indices) are
updated every 15 seconds during the market hours and displayed through the
BOLT system, BSE website and news wire agencies.
79
All BSE-Indices are reviewed periodically by the "Index Committee" of the
Exchange. The committee frames the broad policy guidelines for the
development and maintenance of all BSE indices. The Index Cell of the
Exchange carries out the day to day maintenance of all indices and conducts
research on development of new indices.
