The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is in the early stages of developing in-house generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools aimed at enhancing compliance, customer support, operational efficiency, and software development. This initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen the exchange's technology infrastructure, which has seen a 10% increase in costs, totaling ₹1,315 crore for the fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26), compared to ₹1,022 crore in FY25. NSE's managing director and CEO, Ashishkumar Chauhan, emphasized that the increase is necessary to build resilience and accommodate growing trading volumes. Additionally, the exchange is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO), targeting June 15, 2024, for filing draft documents, with existing shareholders expected to dilute up to 5% of their stakes. NSE reported a consolidated net profit of ₹2,871 crore for Q4FY26, marking an 8.3% year-on-year increase, and its revenue from operations surged to ₹4,967.59 crore, up from ₹3,771.41 crore a year earlier.
