NSE CO-LOCATION CASE

May 1, 2019

In the co-location case, the SEBI has barred the National Stock Exchange (NSE) from accessing the securities market for six months and imposed a fine of ₹1,000 crore on NSE in co-location case.

About:

  • Meaning: Co-location refers to the system wherein a broker’s server is kept in the exchange premises to reduce latency, or delay in computing terms, while executing trades.

  • Scam: In 2015, SEBI received complaints against NSE where it was alleged that the system that NSE used while disseminating data through co-location facilities allowed certain users to get information before others, thereby creating an information asymmetry.
