In India, the two primary stock exchanges are the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Listing refers to the formal process of admitting a company’s securities on an exchange so they can be traded. When companies list their stocks on the BSE or NSE, they become accessible to a broad base of investors, allowing them to buy or sell these stocks within an organised marketplace.
To be listed on an exchange, stocks must meet certain eligibility requirements and pay listing fees. Once these conditions are met, the stocks are added to the exchange’s platform, such as the NSE company list, making them available for trading. This process ensures that only compliant companies gain visibility, allowing investors to trade in a regulated environment.
Stocks listed on exchanges like the NSE are typically traded through an auction system. In this setup, buyers and sellers place their bids and offers, and trades occur when matching prices are found. This method is designed to ensure fair pricing and efficient transactions for all participants.
The Nifty 50 is a benchmark index on the National Stock Exchange, comprising the top 50 large-cap companies in terms of market capitalisation. This index represents the performance of leading sectors in the Indian economy, offering a snapshot of market trends. Alongside the BSE SENSEX, the Nifty 50 is a key reference point for tracking the overall health of the stock market.
