NSE and BSE are the two primary stock exchanges in India:

1. National Stock Exchange (NSE): Established in 1992, the National Stock Exchange is the leading stock exchange in India in terms of daily trading volume and turnover. It is headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. NSE offers a fully automated electronic trading platform that facilitates trading in various financial instruments such as equities, derivatives, currencies, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. Nifty 50, a benchmark index comprising the top 50 companies listed on NSE, is widely followed by investors and traders to gauge the performance of the Indian equity market.
3. Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE): Founded in 1875, the Bombay Stock Exchange is one of the oldest stock exchanges in Asia. It is also located in Mumbai, Maharashtra. BSE provides a platform for trading in equities, derivatives, currencies, commodities, mutual funds, and debt instruments. The Sensex, an index consisting of 30 well-established and financially sound companies listed on BSE, is considered a barometer of the Indian stock market’s overall performance.

Both NSE and BSE play crucial roles in the Indian financial market, providing avenues for companies to raise capital, facilitating trading activities for investors and traders, and contributing to the overall growth and development of the Indian economy.
