Explanation
During the financial year 2000 to 2001, the Bombay Stock Exchange recorded the highest turnover among all major Indian stock exchanges. While the National Stock Exchange was rapidly growing and eventually became the leader in subsequent years, the Bombay Stock Exchange maintained its dominant position in terms of total trading volume and turnover during this specific period. This era marked a transition phase in the Indian capital markets where the Bombay Stock Exchange still held the top spot before the National Stock Exchange established its long term market leadership.
