How much has this increased in the past year? As each Futures Exchange gravitates to the "net" there is no doubt that even these number will look tiny in just a few years, especially at the rate of growth being experienced in India today and with the expatriate Indian Community expanding around the trading world and growing more wealthy. It looks like the largest democracy in the world is just starting to rumble I just ran across this entry today and was astounded by the number (1.5B) traded every day, and that was a year ago according to the posted date!

It's informative and gives you a sense of feeling that things in India will change. The change can come only if we put in the corporate governance and accountabilitiy at each step of beuracracy.

The discussion on the two private-owned commodity exchanges is a case in point. India's (non-left) intelligentsia has huge insights that are valuable for all of us in its neighborhood. Keep up the good work. Prashant, you still retain that sharp incisive mind that you had back in New York. I enjoy your posts. Best Prashant et al,

Talking about futures trading in commodities, its but a small step to developing a vibrant options and derivatives market in commodities as well. The real deal, from a social impact point of view, on desi agro will happen when we have district HQ level quasi-exchanges. And no, its not as far fetched as it sounds. CB Naidu, Andhra's ex-CM had ambitious plans to start off with sabji mandis in every district HQs where farmers could bring produce to sell B2C but here's the twist - these mandis would each be connected to others and were very attractive to those looking for B2B futures deals. Of course, with the good doctor (Not!) YSR in power, the plan was quietly shelved but I still wonder what an electrifyying effect such a grassroots based mandi-cum-exchange system would've had, eh?
