Now with this tourism index, NSE is trying to cover a wider base of industry-specific investors and help them with tracking and investing through NSE. 

This competition has increased due to BSE coming up with different products in the F &O segment. Such index additions will lead to better competition by the NSE and increase NSE’s market share.

How Can You Invest In NSE Shares?

The nse stock price has been skyrocketing since last year from Rs 3700 on Jun 23 to Rs 6200 per share on June 24. This surge comes near the announcement of Financial results for FY 23-24, which led to an increase in trading activity of the share.

The Average daily volumes and healthy financials suggest a strong positive sentiment in the eyes of investors. Unlike the BSE and MCX, NSE is an unlisted share in India. But you can buy and sell NSE shares in the unlisted market. After a 4:1 bonus NSE is now trading around Rs 1200 per share.
