The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has regained its position as the world’s largest bourse in terms of volume in equity trade in June, according to latest data from the World Federation of Exchanges.

After maintaining its lead in the first three months of 2013, NSE had slipped to the second slot in April and May.

Despite witnessing a fall of 9.7 per cent in its equity trade last month, NSE registered 11.2 crore trades on its platform, making it the world’s top exchange among the 50 bourses listed with WFE.

Meanwhile, NSE was also ranked first in the number of equity trades for the first half of 2013 with 71.18 crore trades.

NSE was followed by NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq OMX at the second and the third positions. NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq recorded 10.65 crore and 9.88 crore trades in June, respectively in their equity segments.

China’s Shenzhen SE, which emerged as the top bourse in May, has slipped to the fourth place. The exchange recorded 8.44 crore trades in June.

BSE stood at the eighth place with 2.44 crore trades on its platform. While the total number of listed companies is much larger in the case of BSE, the exchange lags behind NSE significantly in terms of volume and value of trades.

Among the top ten are Korea Exchange (5th), Shanghai SE (6th), Japan Exchange Group-Tokyo (7th), Canada’s TMX Group (9th) and BM&FBOVESPA (10th).
