The National Stock Exchange (NSE) reported a 23% year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated net profit to ₹2,577 crore for the quarter ended September.
However, profit declined 17.4% sequentially, in its first quarterly results since its market debut.

Sequentially, performance remained under pressure, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) falling 13.3% to ₹3,079 crore from ₹3,551 crore in the April-June quarter.
EBITDA margin also narrowed to 75.7% from 77.9%.
The bottomline was supported by higher trading activity.

The equity options segment recorded an ADTV of ₹1,24,574 crore.
Total income for the quarter increased to ₹4,554 crore from ₹4,160 crore a year ago, but declined 13% sequentially.

NSE also expanded its product portfolio, securing regulatory approvals and introducing derivatives on the Nifty India FPI 150 Index and Corporate Bond Index Futures.
Commenting on the results, NSE Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan said, “Q2FY27 was a momentous quarter for us as we successfully completed the listing of one of the world’s largest and most technologically advanced market infrastructure institutions.
The listing milestone marked an important phase in our evolution, reflecting our continued commitment to the highest standards of governance, transparency and value creation; as we continue to drive innovation and deepen India’s capital market ecosystem.”
