LES Is Slowly Bringing Trading Activity Back To MSEI
MSEI has started seeing improved trading activity after relaunching its Liquidity Enhancement Scheme (LES) in January 2026. In just six weeks, the exchange recorded nearly 12.19 lakh trades with a traded value of Rs 24.08 cr. This indicates improving participation on the platform.
The LES scheme likely targets stocks that are usually seen with low trading volumes. In order to improve liquidity, MSEI is encouraging market makers to regularly place buy and sell orders so that investors can trade more easily without facing liquidity issues.
As liquidity improves, trading activity across selected stocks is also gradually picking up, helping MSEI strengthen volumes and bring more activity back to the exchange.
Therefore, by encouraging smoother trading and higher participation, the LES is gradually helping MSEI strengthen volumes and bring more activity back to the exchange.
