Delhi Stock Exchange

The Delhi Stock Exchange was a stock market facility in central New Delhi that served as a financial hub for northern India's capital markets. The building on Asaf Ali Road housed multiple trading stations through which investors from different regions could participate.

The exchange was established in 1947 through the merger of two existing financial institutions during India's independence period. It grew into a significant trading platform where regional companies and securities were bought and sold.

The exchange served as a meeting point where local entrepreneurs and investors gathered to participate in the city's financial growth. For many people across northern India, it provided access to modern investment practices that complemented traditional business approaches.

Trading took place across multiple cities in northern India, where brokers and investors were connected to the main hub through networked terminals. Visitors could observe the trading activity at the exchange terminals and learn how the market operated.

The system for securing transactions was built so reliably that even if brokerages failed to pay, all trades would still be completed correctly. This was a safeguard that allowed investors from across the region to trade with confidence.
