The Delhi Stock Exchange (DSE), which had postponed twice the launch of equity trading on its platform, is gearing up for a trial run. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has inspected the exchange and a regulatory nod to allow the bourse to trade is expected soon, said a top DSE official who did not want to be quoted.

According to sources in DSE, the exchange expects to begin trading in May. When contacted, DSE head H S Siddhu refused to give a specific date when they plan to begin trading. “We are awaiting an official nod from Sebi,” he said.
