The National Stock Exchange of India’s total income rose 9% to 4,554 crore rupees in the September quarter, compared with 4,160 crore rupees in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, according to a Reuters report published by Moneycontrol. The report said net profit increased nearly 23% in the second quarter, supported by the performance of the trading segment. The results cover the September quarter of fiscal 2027, which Chief Executive and Managing Director Ashish Kumar Chauhan described as an important quarter. The income growth puts the trading business at the forefront of the exchange operator’s results, while the comparison reflects an increase from the corresponding period of the previous year. No further detailed figures for net profit or transaction fees were available in the report cited.

Reuters reported that the improvement in NSE’s profit was supported by the trading segment, without detailing the contribution of each activity in the available excerpt. The total income figure indicates a year-on-year increase of 9%, from 4,160 crore rupees in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to 4,554 crore rupees in the September quarter of 2026. Chauhan described the second quarter of fiscal 2027 as an "important quarter," referring to the period covered by the exchange’s announcement. These figures form part of the results of a financial-market operator, with Reuters’ explanation of the profit directly linked to the trading segment. Details on fees or trading volumes were not included in the available results information.

In the broader economic context, India’s Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation said on October 28 that the industrial production index grew 6.7% year on year in September, after growth of 8.0% in August, according to the quick estimate. This means the index’s growth pace in September was lower than the previous month’s reading, while the index remained on an annual growth path. The ministry said the manufacturing sector grew 7.6% in September, while electricity and gas production rose 11.2%. These figures provide context on Indian industrial activity during the month in which the financial quarter ended, but do not by themselves explain NSE’s performance or profit. The report cited from Reuters linked the exchange’s profit growth to the trading segment.

India is scheduled to release its industrial production index for October on November 30, 2026, according to the statistics ministry. The next reading will indicate the course of industrial activity after annual growth of 6.7% in September, compared with the quick estimate of 8.0% in August. October’s data follow the results covering NSE’s September quarter, but relate to the industrial economy and do not represent a date for the exchange to announce new results. The available information did not give a later date for an NSE financial disclosure.
