The National Stock Exchange of India reported a strong end to FY26, with consolidated profit after tax rising 19% quarter-on-quarter to ₹2,871 crore in Q4. Total income for the quarter increased 22% to ₹5,360 crore, driven by higher trading activity across cash and derivatives segments.
Transaction charge revenue jumped 34% as equity and derivatives volumes surged, with average daily turnover rising sharply across segments. The exchange also saw higher operating profitability, even as expenses increased due to year-end provisions and regulatory-related settlements.
For FY26, consolidated profit stood at ₹10,302 crore on total income of ₹18,713 crore. The board has recommended a dividend of ₹35 per share, including a special payout, subject to shareholder approval.
The exchange also contributed ₹59,186 crore to the exchequer during the year, led by securities transaction tax collections.
