  • NSE Introduces Nanosecond-Level Order Acknowledgement from April 11
    April 10, 2026, 9:02 AM EDT. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) will implement nanosecond-level order acknowledgement for cash and equity derivatives segments starting April 11.

The enhanced system allows traders to track orders precisely before execution updates, boosting operational confidence and risk management. This move places NSE among global leaders in exchange technology, with no other markets currently offering similar nanosecond-level acknowledgements. The upgrade also supports NSE's position as the world's largest derivatives exchange, emphasizing its commitment to advanced, reliable market infrastructure amid growing competition in latency and execution quality worldwide.
