• Financial Performance: In FY24, MSEI (Metropolitan Stock Exchange) experienced a significant decline in revenue from operations, an annual total of ₹7.36 Cr compared to ₹9.21 Cr the previous year. Other income also faced a sharp decrease, falling to ₹13.69 Cr from ₹45.44 Cr in FY23, primarily due to reduced earnings from the Core Settlement Guarantee Fund. Overall, total income plummeted to ₹21.05 Cr for FY24, nearly 60% lower than FY23's ₹54.65 Cr, highlighting urgent needs for new revenue avenues or operational enhancements. On the expense side, operating costs rose to ₹28.98 Cr, although employee benefit expenses saw a slight decrease, indicating cost control efforts. Consequently, the company reported a net loss of ₹48.74 Cr for FY24, a significant increase from the prior year's loss of ₹18.67 Cr, attributed to the absence of one-time income sources from previous periods.
