NSE’s Growth Over Three Decades
Highlighting NSE's growth journey over the past three decades, Chauhan said the exchange has consistently expanded since its inception 32 years ago.
"From around 700 trades in its early days, NSE today handles nearly 30 crore trades. Its profitability has continued to grow year after year. As India's economy expands, NSE's growth will also continue alongside it," he said.
Listing On Rival Platform
On the decision to list the exchange on a rival platform, Chauhan noted that several exchanges around the world are self-listed. However, India's regulatory framework favours stock exchanges being listed on another exchange. He said NSE would continue to present its views to regulators and policymakers whenever an opportunity arises.
Commenting on the possibility of listing NSE's subsidiaries, Chauhan said there are currently no plans to take them public. However, he added that if any subsidiary grows significantly and regulators deem a listing necessary, the exchange would consider it.
