NSE Introduces Higher Bandwidth Options for Commodity Derivatives Connectivity

The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE), a pioneer in screen-based trading and a leader in technology-driven innovations, has announced significant updates for its Commodity Derivatives segment. These changes aim to address increasing market participation and enhance connectivity options for members trading in this space.

New Bandwidth Options for Enhanced Connectivity

To cater to the growing demand for robust connectivity in the Commodity Derivatives segment, NSE has introduced additional high-bandwidth options for leased line connectivity. Members can now access bandwidth options of up to 300 Mbps, a notable upgrade from the previous maximum of 20 Mbps. This enhancement is made possible through the Telecom Network Integrator (TNI), SIFY Technologies Limited, which provides last-mile connectivity across Points of Presence (POP) networks.

The newly available bandwidth options include:

• 50 Mbps
• 100 Mbps
• 150 Mbps
• 200 Mbps
• 300 Mbps

These options complement the existing lower bandwidth offerings of 4 Mbps, 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps, and 30 Mbps, ensuring that members have a wide range of connectivity solutions to meet their trading needs.

Facilitating Growth in Commodity Derivatives

With over 240 members trading across more than 25 products in the Energy, Bullion, and Base Metals categories, the NSE Commodity Derivatives segment has seen unprecedented growth in volumes and participation. The upgraded connectivity infrastructure supports this growth by enabling seamless access to Multicast Tick-by-Tick (MTBT) market data broadcasts on higher bandwidths, enhancing the trading experience.

Connectivity Highlights and Disclaimers

While the NSE facilitates these services through SIFY Technologies Limited, it is important to note that the Exchange itself is not a telecom service provider. The responsibility for network architecture and connectivity lies solely with the participants. NSE’s role is limited to acting as a facilitator to provide members with access to improved connectivity options.

Participants should consider the following:

• The Exchange does not guarantee uptime or service quality.
• It is essential for participants to maintain appropriate backups and redundancies in their connectivity setups.
