    February 1, 2026, 1:35 AM EST. Ahead of India's Union Budget, NSE CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan expressed hope to see the National Stock Exchange listed by this year's Diwali Muhurat trading session. Market experts like Nilesh Shah of Kotak Mahindra AMC called for tax rationalization for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs), highlighting inconsistencies where some tax-exempt foreign entities face Indian taxes. Shah and others urged fiscal prudence, infrastructure spending, and a more liberalized investment climate. Gautam Chhaochharia from UBS emphasized the need for policy stability and potential positive tax reforms. Chauhan acknowledged the government's reliance on the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) generating ₹60,000-70,000 crore annually, noting any STT removal must find alternative revenue sources. Experts' combined focus is on fostering long-term growth through liberalization and streamlined investment processes.
