India's premier bourse, the National Stock Exchange (NSE), posted a net profit of ₹2,578 crore in the second quarter of FY27, marking a 23% increase compared to the same period last year. The exchange's total revenue grew by 10.6% during the quarter, demonstrating resilience in its core business operations.
However, the sequential performance revealed softer momentum, with the quarter-on-quarter results showing a decline from the preceding quarter. Transaction charge revenue, a key revenue driver for the exchange, contracted by 16% in sequential terms, weighing on overall profitability metrics for the quarter.
The mixed quarterly outcomes reflect the dynamic nature of capital market operations, where transaction-based revenues remain sensitive to trading activity and market volatility. Despite the sequential headwinds, the year-on-year profit expansion underscores NSE's underlying operational strength and its ability to maintain growth momentum across fiscal 2027.
The NSE's financial performance continues to position it as a critical infrastructure player in India's financial markets ecosystem, serving millions of retail and institutional participants across equities, derivatives, and debt segments.
