National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay stock Exchange (BSE) are
the two key stock exchanges of India. Before NSE was introduced in 1994, the
trading of shares used to happen in open outcry system. NSE brought the online,
fully-automated, screen-based trading system into picture. With the power of
computers (automated trading platform, clearing and settlement) and
communications (VSAT terminals to link trading terminals with the platform),
NSE has taken the # 1 spot in terms of number of trades in equity in India
(globally # 3).
While BSE is the oldest stock exchange in Asia, it is yet to
catch-up with NSE in terms of daily turnover and number of trades - a
reflection of lack of application of information technology in time.
