NSE Puts 10% CSR Funds on Social Stock Exchange
10 Jun
Summary
- NSE will allocate 10% of its CSR funds to NSE-SSE projects.
- This decision follows recent regulatory changes for CSR spending.
- The move strengthens social impact through a regulated framework.
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has committed to dedicating 10% of its annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to initiatives listed on the NSE Social Stock Exchange (NSE-SSE). This strategic move is designed to fortify the social impact sector by utilizing a transparent and regulated platform.
The NSE's CSR Committee had initially approved this proposal in March 2026, awaiting the necessary regulatory approvals. With the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issuing a gazette notification on May 27, permitting CSR expenditure through zero coupon zero principal instruments listed on social stock exchanges, the commitment has now been put into action.
This decision underscores the NSE's confidence in the Social Stock Exchange as an effective market-based mechanism for driving social change.
