NCDEX competes with MCX in the domestic commodities space. However, Indian media reported in 2014 that the BSE is looking to extend its coverage to include commodity derivatives. The move follows the exchange’s entrance into the congested currency futures and options market, which is now a core product for the oldest exchange in the country.
