Research reports are backbone of any management education program. The tools that we
learn in the class room, we apply these tools in project work. I have seen the same problems
which were taught by our respectful teachers. A management master should frequently do
research work during her/her entire course plan.

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
Page | 9
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,
providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to investors using

electronic trading systems,
enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements systems, and
Page | 10
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 symbolizes 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

Corporate Structure
NSE is one of the first de-metalized 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, and etc, public representatives, nominees of SEBI and one full time executive
of the Exchange.
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 dayto-day management of the Exchange is delegated to the Managing Director who is supported by
a team of professional staff.

India (UTI) to promote dematerialization of securities. Together they set up National
Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), the first depository in India.

NSE Technology
Across the globe, developments in information, communication and network
technologies have created paradigm shifts in the securities market operations. Technology
has enabled organizations 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
Page | 27
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 capitalize 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 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
Page | 29
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.
Equities
NSE started trading in the equities segment (Capital Market segment) on November 3,

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) have had an interesting rise to prominence over the past
130 years.
While the BSE is now synonymous with Dalal Street, it wasnt 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 Indias securities
markets. Indias biggest bourse, in terms of listed companies and market capitalization,
BSE has played a pioneering role in the Indian Securities Market - one of the oldest in the
Page | 57
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 BSEs
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 competitive environment.
First in India to introduce Equity Derivatives
First in India to launch a Free Float Index
First in India to launch US$ version of BSE Sensex
First in India to launch Exchange Enabled Internet Trading Platform
First in India to obtain ISO certification for Surveillance, Clearing & Settlement

First to have an exclusive facility for financial training
Moved from Open Outcry to Electronic Trading within just 50 days
An equally important accomplishment of BSE is the launch of a nationwide investor

awareness campaign - Safe Investing in the Stock Market - under which nationwide
Page | 58
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 Indias 1st Bell ringing ceremony in the history
Capital 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
Page | 59
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 is 1978-79. The index is widely reported in
both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media. BSESENSEX 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 BSESENSEX.
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.
Page | 60
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 BSE200 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.
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.

The limitations of this project arise from the time period assigned to me in this project. Since I

This project merely tells about the listing procedure of equities on NSE & BSE.
Page | 78
Conclusion
On the basis of above stated study it has been assorted that with respect to technology, listing
fees, listing procedure, eligibility criteria of listing & listing requirements the National Stock
Exchange has the edge.
Despite the fact that Bombay Stock Exchange is older & has high level of trading volume.
However, Many market Players, Brokers, sub-brokers, trading firms etc. deal through the
Bombay Stock Exchange.
