Madras Stock Exchange : Celebrates Platinum Jubilee

Madras Stock Exchange (MSE) was inaugurated on 4th September 1937 and has completed 75 years of contribution to the growth of Industries in South India in general and the Capital Market in particular.  MSE is the first stock exchange to be established in South India and 4th in India. Being 75th year, MSE has proposed to celebrate its Platinum Jubilee in a grand manner.

Strategic Arrangement with NSE

V. Nagappan,  S. Lakhmanaraman,  S. Venkateswaran,  in IAP
Mr. S. Venkateswaran, Director, MSE informed that the Strategic Arrangement entered into with NSE in 2009, to enable the members of MSE to trade in NSE Trading Platform and to provide liquidity for the companies listed on the Exchange through NSE Platform, has been satisfactorily functioning and fetching good volume of business.  As on date 60 MSE listed companies have been allowed for trading in NSE Platform and are actively traded, which is expected to increase to 100 shortly. 

Under this Strategic Arrangement between MSE & NSE, the members of MSE are permitted to trade on NSE. The members trading on NSE can issue contract notes of their own as a member of MSE.

Revival of MSE Trading Platform

There are 1,200 companies listed on MSE as on date.  To provide liquidity and price discovery for the small and medium cap companies and the companies which are not listed on BSE and NSE, MSE is embarking upon revamping its own Trading Platofrm with a pan India presence. 

NSE IT has provided the requisite software and all arrangements to start the trading operations are in an advanced stage of completion.  The new trading platform is expected to be in place by May,  2012, on receipt of necessary approval from SEBI.  It was also mentioned that nearly 600 companies, listed on MSE, are not listed on BSE or NSE.

New Membership

As part of its new initiatives, MSE is expanding its membership base to semi urban and rural areas and also other States.  At present, MSE has already got 200 members spread over the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, New Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka and Kerala, apart from Tamilnadu.  The Admission fee is kept at an affordable level of Rs.1 lakh.  Further, members of other Regional Stock Exchanges and professionally qualified persons are eligible for 50% concession in the payment of admission fee.

Soon, a MSE member will have 4-in-1 business opportunity to trade on NSE Trading Platform through MSE, proposed MSE trading platform and on BSE & MCX-SX, through its Subsidiary.  With all these initiatives, MSE is confident of getting more number of companies listed on the Exchange in the days ahead.

Depository Activities

MSE is a depository participant of both NSDL & CDSL and is providing depository services to its members and public at very affordable cost.  It has branches at T. Nagar and Mylapore in Chennai, Karaikkudi, Tirunelveli, Virudhunagar, Coimbatore and Bangalore.  

Already more than 15,000 investors have opened their accounts with MSE DP.  MSE DP is also offering Depository services for holding E-Series commodity units.

Nagappan, Director, MSE,  mentioned that Madras Stock Exchange Limited (MSE) has always been playing an active role in enhancing the Investor Awareness and has been regularly conducting Investors Awareness and Education programmes (IAEP) throughout the state of Tamil Nadu and in some places in the neighbouring States.
