MSE Exchange Set for Trading Return, Challenges NSE-BSE Duopoly

• Metropolitan Stock Exchange (MSE) is preparing for its return to trading, aiming to challenge BSE and NSE.
• Trading on MSE could commence within the next two weeks, according to sources.
• MSE plans a liquidity enhancement scheme with market makers for 130 stocks, initially focusing on the cash segment.
• The exchange raised ₹1,240 crore in funding, with investments from Groww and Zerodha.
• Breaking the strong NSE-BSE duopoly will be challenging due to their dominant market shares across segments.

Why It Matters: MSE's return could intensify competition in the Indian stock market, offering new options for investors.
