DSE is also implementing an amnesty scheme to revive trading in inactive stocks and encourage compliance among companies, Sidhu added.

Under the scheme, existing companies would have to comply with the exchange requirements for two years and will be given a concession of up to 50 percent on listing fees.

New companies listed with some other recognized stock exchange and opting to list its shared with DSE shall not be levied any initial listing fee, processing fee and annual listing fee for the current fiscal.

The DSE amnesty scheme has also received an overwhelming response, with over 300 companies opting for it, Sidhu said.

DSE was launched in 1947 as a listed company under the Indian Companies Act, 1913 with 2,833 listed companies, of which 1,800 are exclusively listed on the exchange.
