00:00Well, we do have LTI Mindtree, Tech Mahindra and Tata Consumer, which are the top losers
00:04today.
00:05The IT companies, LTI Mahindra and Tech Mahindra are down over 2.5% in trade today, but we
00:10do have some strength in some of the energy counters, PowerGrid up 3% and NTPC seen gains
00:16of over 1%.
00:17When we look at the broader markets, they are underperforming the benchmark, the Nifty,
00:22Midcap 150 is the top loser today, it's down about 0.7% right now.
00:29And when you look at some of the counters that have seen strong negative movement, you
00:34have PB Fintech, Oracle, Indus Towers and Max Health, but PB Fintech seen 7% of cuts.
00:40We do have some strength in counters like Tata Communications, Z Entertainments, Apollo
00:45Tires all up 3%.
00:47When you look at the sectoral indices, if you could just have that on the screen right
00:52now, you have some, the Nifty Media, the Nifty Energy and the Metal Pack, which are the top
00:59performing sectoral indices today, whereas the IT segment, the PSU Banking and the FMCG
01:04space are not doing well today.
01:06But we now move on to the first company we're going to talk about today, and we're actually
01:10going to talk about the management of the company, and that is MCX, and we're joined
01:14by Rishi Nathani, who's the Chief Business Officer at MCX, welcome to the show, Mr. Nathani.
01:21Thank you, Mika.
01:22Let's first talk about the latest updates, which are the revisions in the transaction
01:26charges.
01:27Can you give us more detail on what the revisions are and how that would impact, you know, your
01:32financials in the near term?
01:36So what we have done is we moved in from a dual structure to a single transaction charge.
01:43So earlier we were charging 2.6 lakhs and 2.6 rupees per lakh and 1.75 rupees per lakh.
01:51Now we move in futures, which we move to 2.1 rupees per lakh.
01:55Similarly we made changes in options as well, where we had two slabs of 4,000 and 5,000
02:01and per crore, and now we move to 41.80 per crore.
02:06So this is the change we've made.
02:09Now, I don't believe that it should have any major impact either ways, because these transaction
02:16charges have been placed at the average realization which the company was making.
02:22Therefore, I believe that the effect on the company's revenues would not be much.
02:31Having said that, this is a very good move for which the regulator has asked to be done,
02:37because the end clients will now land up being much lesser than they were.
02:41And also now it will create a level playing field across the entire broking segment.
02:45Mr. Narayani, no material change, but if you had to quantify it in terms of a range to
02:49the top line, the impact that your top line would have, do you have an estimate on that number?
02:54Well, as I said, we have placed this transaction charge at the average realization, so according
03:00to me there should be no change.
03:03And let's also talk about, the company did successfully transition its software back
03:08in October.
03:09Now that's been running very smoothly, but we do expect fixed costs to come in from October.
03:15How would that impact your margins going forward as well?
03:18And your financials in general?
03:21See, overall everything has already been announced, so I would not like to dwell on that much.
03:28What I can say is that the business has been growing tremendously.
03:34And in the current year, we've hit record highs in terms of turnover on 14th September
03:40where we did 4.72 lakh crores of single-sided ADT.
03:47And in the current year, we are up by 80% over last year in terms of our overall volumes.
03:53So in that sense, I'd rather focus on revenues and make sure that the business grows and
04:00that is my mandate as the Chief Business Officer.
