NSE Reports 8% Q4 Profit Growth, Proposes Rs 35 Dividend for FY26

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) reported an 8 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 2,871 crore for Q4 FY26, driven by higher trading volumes across equity cash and derivatives segments. Revenue from operations increased 22-32 percent to around Rs 5,000 crore, with transaction charges contributing the majority. Expenses rose 20 percent due to higher CSR provisions and settlement-related costs. NSE proposed a Rs 35 per share dividend, including a Rs 10 special payout, pending shareholder approval. For FY26, profit after tax declined 15 percent to Rs 10,302 crore amid slightly lower total income.
