Licensing Of Indian Indices And Market Data Of The Securities Listed Or Traded In India

Date 09/02/2018

Indian Exchanges(“Exchanges”), through a licensing arrangement, provide their Market Data at various levels (Real time, Delayed feed and End of the day feed) to Index Providers either directly or through their subsidiaries/group entities or through third party data vendors, for creating Indices. Such indices are licensed by the Index Providers to prospective licensees, including foreign stock and derivatives exchanges and other foreign trading platforms (“foreign exchanges and/ or trading platforms”) for enabling them to provide products for trading and settlement on such foreign exchanges and/ or foreign trading platforms. Additionally, it is possible that Exchanges could also create indices based on their Market Data which could then be licensed to such foreign exchanges and/ or trading platforms, for the purpose of trading and settlement of products based on such indices outside India. It is observed that for various reasons the volumes in derivative trading based on Indian securities including indices have reached large proportions in some of the foreign jurisdictions, resulting in migration of liquidity from India, which is not in the best interest of Indian markets.
