At 28.55 crore, the National Stock Exchange of India on Wednesday broke the world record for handling the highest number of single-day trades.

Further, the stock exchange handled 1,971 crore orders in a day between 9:15 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on June 5, Ashish Chauhan, the chief executive officer of NSE, posted on X.

This comes as the markets recovered after they reported their worst session in four years on Tuesday, when vote counting trends revealed that the Bharatiya Janata Party wouldn't secure the majority to form a government on its own. The market surge came after constituents of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance pledged support to form a government for the third term.

The NSE Nifty 50 closed 688.95 points higher, or 3.15%, at 22,573.45, while the S&P BSE Sensex ended 2,303.1 points up, or 3.2%, at 74,382. On Tuesday, both indices closed over 5% lower.

The market value of Nifty 50 companies rose by Rs 5.3 lakh crore during trade. On Tuesday, the market capitalisation loss had widened to Rs 10 lakh crore.
