NSE Plans to More Than Double Co-Location Capacity Amid Rising Algorithmic Trading
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) plans to more than double its co-location server capacity from about 2,200 to over 4,500 racks within two to three years to support growing high-frequency and algorithmic trading. This expansion requires additional physical space, power, and cooling, with NSE vacating space at its headquarters and receiving more from the Maharashtra government. Algorithmic trading now accounts for 55% of equity cash turnover and 70% of equity derivatives turnover, reflecting its increasing role in Indian and global markets.
