Trading session local time · Asia/Kolkata
Session hours and the settlement cycle are compiled by Finance Foundation from the venue’s own published trading calendar. These are exact and change-prone — an extended session or a moved auction dates a figure like this quickly — so each row below carries what two independently maintained open calendars say about the same venue. Verify against the exchange before relying on any of it operationally. Sources.
pandas_market_calendars return the same hours as we hold. Cross-check from exchange_calendars (Apache 2.0) and pandas_market_calendars (MIT); neither endorses this site.

Ownership

- NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE OF INDIA LIMITED IN
335800NLY5HYW9I7YE03
Not the name this venue trades under. NSE is the group; the entity above is the one the ISO 10383 registry binds XNSE to, and the one that legally runs this market. - Ultimate owner
- None above it — NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE OF INDIA LIMITED is the top of its own ownership chain.
GLEIF records no parent for this entity (NON_CONSOLIDATING), so the operator is itself the top of the tree - Owner listed
- No. Not listed, and unusual in being widely held anyway: its shares change hands in India's private market while its IPO waits on regulatory clearance. When it lists it will be on BSE, its competitor.
Clearing and settlement
| Institution | Role | LEI |
|---|---|---|
| NSDL — National Securities Depository Limited | Central securities depository | 335800NFZPTMGTPAHE42 |
| CDSL — Central Depository Services (India) | Central securities depository | 335800YRV56TH7RQVH27 |
These are separate legal entities from the venue operator above, each with its own LEI — a distinction the ISO 10383 registry itself gets wrong for two venues in this dataset, where it records the depository's or the clearing house's code against the exchange. The full layer.
Segment MICs 1 venues under XNSE
| MIC | Segment / venue |

Operating MIC vs segment MIC per ISO 10383: the operating code identifies the exchange, segment codes identify its individual order books, growth markets and derivatives venues. Every code was checked line by line against the official ISO 10383 registry file (SWIFT is the registration authority) — codes that were expired or belonged to a separate operating venue were rejected.
