NSE to attain nanosecond order delivery acknowledgement across currency, commodity, cash, and equity derivatives segments

NSE launches Immediate Acknowledgement feature, cutting response time to nanoseconds across all market segments, a world-first for exchange technology.

"This milestone represents a transformative upgrade to NSE's trading infrastructure, reinforcing India's position at the forefront of global exchange technology - NSE Press Release"

New Delhi, April 11

The National Stock Exchange of India on Friday said that it has deployed its Immediate Acknowledgement feature across Currency Derivatives, Commodity, Derivatives, Cash, and Equity Derivatives from April 11, delivering order acknowledgement in nanoseconds for median and mean observations, a significant improvement over the previous system response time of 100 microseconds.

"This milestone represents a transformative upgrade to NSE's trading infrastructure, reinforcing India's position at the forefront of global exchange technology and furthering the Exchange's commitment to building a transparent, efficient, and world-class capital markets ecosystem," NSE said in its press release.

NSE further said that under the enhanced process flow, every order sent to the NSE trading system now receives an immediate acknowledgement within nanoseconds. This real-time receipt confirmation is followed by the standard processing and confirmation or rejection message, ensuring that market participants can track order receipt instantaneously, with dramatically improved certainty and transparency. Currently, there is no other exchange in the world who is claiming to be giving response time in nanoseconds.

The exchange said the new immediate acknowledgement feature was introduced in a phased manner. The new feature for Currency Derivatives came into effect on July 1, 2025 and for Commodity Derivatives, it was deployed on December 13, 2025. The immediate acknowledgement feature for Capital markets/ equities and Equity Derivatives will come into effect from April 11.

NSE further noted that the advanced feature is a first in the world, and it will help enhance market transparency by providing Real-time order acknowledgement, which provides members with instant visibility into order receipt, eliminating uncertainty in the order lifecycle.

Market participants can now track every order in real time, enabling faster decision-making and improved risk management. "The speed enhancement underscores NSE's commitment to maintaining infrastructure that rivals, and leads, the world's most advanced exchanges. The phased coexistence model ensures zero disruption to ongoing trading operations while transitioning to the new framework," NSE said in its press release.

World's first exchange to do this? That's impressive. But I hope this tech upgrade also translates to better stability during high volatility. We've seen glitches before. The proof will be in the pudding during the next big market move.

Amazing! This is the kind of infrastructure we need to compete with Singapore and Hong Kong as a financial hub. Speed matters so much in algo trading. Big win for the fintech sector in India.

While the tech is undoubtedly advanced, I hope the focus remains on creating a fair market for all participants. High-frequency traders with direct market access might benefit disproportionately. The SEBI needs to ensure a level playing field for retail investors too.

From 100 microseconds to nanoseconds? That's like moving from a scooter to a fighter jet! 🚀 This will drastically improve risk management for brokers and institutions. A solid step towards a more mature market ecosystem.
