Capital Market Segment of the NSE
The capital market segment, which covers trading in equities, commenced trading on November 3, 1994. NSE adopted the order-driven trading system as opposed to a quote-driven system. The order-driven system helped reduce jobbing spreads to cut down transaction costs.
As on March 31, 2010, there were 1,470 listed companies on NSE. On an average, 85 per cent of their stocks are traded every day. The exchange covers 90 per cent of all-India market capitalisation.
