The tussle between NSE and SGX – A study.
All the Financial newspapers have been reporting about the squabbles between National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX)- two important and big bourses in the world. It is rather interesting to study the arguments and causes for the conflict from the point of view of the consequences.

- The move by SGX is viewed as highly unethical by any standards and is most likely to lead to prolonged legal battle. In this process the Investors could be the sufferers.
- This move will bring down the volume and get it fragmented apart from losing revenue by the exchequer.
