National Stock Exchange (NSE) reported an 8% YoY rise in consolidated Q4 FY26 profit to ₹28.71 billion, supported by higher activity in the equity derivatives segment.
Total income increased 22% YoY to ₹53.6 billion, reflecting strong operating momentum across trading and transaction-related businesses.
Transaction revenue surged 39% YoY to ₹40.77 billion, primarily driven by increased volumes in equity options and cash market trading.
Operating expenses rose 32% YoY to ₹14.86 billion, impacted by higher CSR provisions and additional allocations toward pending regulatory settlements.
NSE’s board recommended a final dividend of ₹35 per share, including a special dividend component of ₹10 per share, subject to shareholder approval.
The results come as NSE advances toward its long-awaited IPO, with regulators recently permitting an offer-for-sale structure by existing shareholders and the exchange forming a dedicated IPO oversight committee.
