Pertaining the development, Chauhan said, “BSE, India Inx and MOEX are collaborating together to facilitate the development of channels of communication. We strongly believe together we would foster a continuing relationship for the benefit of the financial services industry in India and in Russia”.

This is expected to lead to enhance the understanding of activities in each other's market. Moreover, the parties will conduct joint researches, to explore the area of cross-listing of Derivative products,  ETF, dual listing and fixed income product cooperation.

The three exchanges have a mutual understanding of each other's market, in the premise of a bi-lateral investment. The Indian-Russian Initiative will be an important portal for professional intermediaries in both markets to share their know-how and expand their client network, both in their market and worldwide. The users of this initiative will have access to  professional intermediary networks to benefit their development and cross-border operation.
