NSE Of India, BSE Of India And Equity Shares Trading

 When you speak of the Indian share market, there are two bourses that are counted at the international level. One is deemed the oldest stock exchange in Asia and another the largest in the country. Both the bourses have carved distinctive identities and have equally contributed towards the growth and modernization of the Indian share market. Yes we are talking about the BSE of India and the NSE of India respectively, both operational from Mumbai. Your trading in share can happen either via the NSE of India or the BSE of India or both. It is not only equity shares but various other investment instruments that you can opt to invest. Majority of the equity shares trading is done via these two stock exchanges. The indices for the NSE of India and the BSE of India are the nifty and sensex respectively. Nifty is an index of fifty major stocks weighted by market capitalization while sensex is an index of 30 most active stocks.


Thousands of companies are listed in the BSE of India, prominent for over 135 years now. As per December 2010 records, the equity market capitalization of the companies listed amounted to US$1.63 trillion. The amount generated has turned the bourse as the 4th largest in Asia and the 9th largest in the world. In no time will the stock exchange take a further elevated position, taking India further towards the top in the international map. The BSE of India also happens to have in its list the largest number of listed companies in the world. Again as per the records of the last phase of the preceding year, there were over 5,034 listed Indian companies and over 7700 scrips. And the BSE market also happens to be one of the world's best performing stock markets.

The NSE of India has over 1,552 listings as per December 2010 records. In terms of market capitalization, this stock exchange happens to be the 10th largest stock exchange in the world. In terms of number of trades and daily turnover for equity shares and derivative trading, it is the largest in India. This bourse is mutually-owned by a group of leading banks, financial institutions, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries in India with two foreign investors (Goldman Sachs and NYSE Euronext). NSE of India also happens to be the second fastest growing bourse in the world. There are over 2799 NSE VSAT terminals covering 1500 plus cities across India. In terms of the number of trades in equities, NSE is the third largest Stock Exchange in the world.
