History
Establishment of National Stock Exchange of India Ltd., (NSE) in 1994 with an all-India spread and expansion of operations of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) throughout the country, both of which have their trader work stations at over 400 centres in the country today, have led to the virtual extinction of all the 19 Regional Stock Exchange (RSEs) spread across the length and breadth of the country. The share of 19 RSEs, which was as much as 45.6 per cent of the total all-India turnover of Rs. 2.39 lakh crore in 1995-96, declined progressively year after year and in 2001-02, it was just 8.4 per cent of the total volume of Rs. 8.96 lakh crore. At present, there is virtually no trading at any of the RSEs. Trading in the cash segment is thus confined to NSE and BSE only, with the share of the latter, which used to account for over 70 percent of the all-India volume of trading till 1995, is also progressively declining. Currently, BSE accounts for about 30 per cent of the aggregate volume of trading on NSE and BSE in the cash segment. In the derivatives segment, while NSE clocks in about Rs. 2000 crore daily, the turnover on BSE has been progressively declining virtually to the zero level. The RSEs of the country and their members had spent over Rs. 200 crore in automating their trading, clearing and settlement systems, largely driven by regulatory compulsions, sadly to witness them lying idle at present.
Causes of decline of the Regional Stock Exchanges
Abolition of Badla with effect from July 2, 2001, acted as the backbone of trading at the Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Ludhiana Stock Exchange Association and also at a few other exchanges, which conducted Badla trading but in a clandestine manner, dealt a serious blow to trading at the RSEs. Introduction of uniform trading cycles at all the stock exchange, also effective from July 2, 2001, reduced further the volume of trading at the RSEs due to diminished opportunities for arbitrage transactions. Introduction of compulsory rolling settlements, initially in a few securities and subsequently in all securities effective from December 31, 2001 on a T+5 bases accelerated the reduction in turnover at the RSEs. The switch over of the rolling settlement to T+3 effective from April 1, 2002 and to T+2 with effect from April 1, 2003 sealed the fate of the RSEs. Yet another major reason for the absence of trading at the RSEs is that all the major operators are all these exchanges acquired memberships of either NSE or BSE or of both, while most others acquired the sub-brokerships of members of NSE/BSE and all of them switched over their operations completely to NSE and BSE. In spite of the fact that trading at the RSEs has ground to a halt, RSEs have managed to survive so far because of the annual listing fees that are being received from the listed companies. The circulars issued by the Ministry of Finance on April 23, 2003 withdrawing its earlier circulars which required all companies including existing listed companies, to be listed on the stock exchanges located in the State where the registered office or the main works/fixed assets of the company are situated, has led to the conclusion of RSEs as companies have started lining up one after the other to get themselves delisted from the RSEs.
Establishment of Inter-connected Stock Exchange
It was the dwindling fortunes of RSEs that brought them together to establish the Inter-connected Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (ISE). At a meeting of the Federation of Indian Stock Exchanges held in October 1996, a Steering Committee was formed to evolve an Inter-Connected Market System. As a result, ISE, which was promoted by 14 regional stock exchanges of the country (excluding Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Ludhiana and Pune Stock Exchange, apart from NSE, BSE and OTCEI) was incorporated on ISE by SEBI under the Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act, 1956 on November 18, 1998, ISE commenced trading on February 26, 1999. ISE was launched with an objective of converting small, fragmented and illiquid markets into large, liquid national-level markets. This was a unique experiment, with a highly automated trading, clearing and settlement systems backed by state-of-the-art computers. ISE is also a professionally managed stock exchange with the Chairman of the Exchange being also a Public Representative Director from its inception. Unfortunately for the RSEs, particularly small brokers, the ISE experiment did not succeed. The daily turnover, which used to be Rs. 1 to 2 crore in the first six months, gradually declined to virtually zero level. Failure of ISE was, due to the bigger brokers of the participating RSEs failing to support any interest in trading on ISE due to commercial considerations. As a result, it becomes virtually impossible for ISE to create any worthwhile liquidity in its markets in competition with the breadth and depth of NSE and BSE. Markers continued to be fragmented as the participating RSEs did not close down their regional segments. All the while the small fragmented and illiquid market failed to emerge. ISE has also not succeeded in getting companies listed on it despite the stipulation by SEBI that the State of Maharashtra constituted the regional area for ISE due to lack of regulatory support for making it applicable to over 3,000 already listed companies in the State of Maharashtra.
Mission
ISE shall endeavor to provide flexible and cost-effective access to multiple markets to its intermediaries across the country using the latest technology.
