The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has launched a beta of NSE Market Lens, an AI stock screener that turns plain-language questions into editable filters. Announced in Mumbai on 8 November 2026, the update also adds AI-written summaries of corporate announcements and access to NSE market data through AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.

The launch came during Diwali celebrations as the new Samvat year began, when Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan, who also sits on BharatGen’s advisory board for sovereign AI deployment, told the media the exchange is “deploying advanced AI” to give retail investors better analytics and insights.

What NSE Market Lens does

According to the NSE press release of 8 November 2026, Market Lens lets investors explore popular stock screens, browse companies by sector and build their own screens by typing a query in everyday language. The system converts that query into screening filters that the user can then edit, and the results are drawn from NSE market data.

That design keeps the investor in control. Rather than handing over a black-box answer, the AI produces filters that can be checked and changed before acting on them.

AI summaries, Option Greeks and MCP access

The exchange added three other data features alongside Market Lens:

• AI-assisted summaries (beta): short summaries of corporate announcements on the NSE website, in both text and audio form.
• Option Greeks: Delta, Gamma, Theta and Vega values with minute-wise updates.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): NSE market data can be queried in natural language from compatible AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.

MCP is the open standard that lets AI assistants and agents connect to outside tools and data. Indian fintech players have been adopting it for agent-ready services, from Cashfree’s WebMCP-based checkout for AI agents to Razorpay’s MCP server for its payment gateway. An exchange-level data feed gives such assistants an official source for Indian market information.

New app tools for investors and brokers

The redesigned NSE India app now offers shareable watchlists, price alerts, consolidated portfolio tracking across asset classes, family investment tracking, nomination monitoring, portfolio analytics and announcements linked to an investor’s holdings. A new NSE Member Portal App gives trading members Trade Pulse dashboards, state-wise Unique Client Code (UCC) metrics, compliance timelines and circulars.

“Technology has a vital role in simplifying India’s capital markets and making them more accessible, inclusive and convenient for every Indian,” said Viral Mody, Executive Director, NSE, in the release.

Why it matters for AI in Indian capital markets

Chauhan said NSE serves around 20 to 27 crore accounts through various channels and brokers, so even beta AI tools at the exchange can reach a very large base of first-time and small-town investors. He also said the exchange is working with brokers on cybersecurity risks, online financial scams and deepfake videos, a concern that has reached the top of government, as seen when Amit Shah promised AI deepfake safeguards.

The move also mirrors a wider enterprise shift towards natural-language and agent-driven analytics, such as Zoho’s agentic analytics platform built around AI agents and MCP.

• NSE Market Lens (beta) converts plain-language queries into editable stock screening filters on web and mobile.
• NSE also added AI summaries of corporate announcements in text and audio, plus minute-wise Option Greeks.
• NSE market data can now be accessed from AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude through MCP.
