National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) is India's leading market infrastructure institution, registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Since the enactment of the Depositories Act in 1996, NSDL has been at the forefront of transforming India's securities market by introducing the dematerialisation of securities. This revolutionary step occurred in November 1996, marking a significant milestone in the Indian financial landscape.

NSDL operates as a robust depository, providing a comprehensive framework that enables market participants to engage in India's financial and securities markets. The institution plays a central role in developing innovative products and services to address the evolving needs of the financial services industry in the country.

NSDL helps change the financial system in India by advancing new ideas, safeguarding investors, and creating reliable services for deposit holders.

Apart from acting as a depository, NSDL also supports e-voting, consolidated account statements (CAS), and non-disposal undertakings (NDU) to help investors and make their work with the company simpler.
