NMCE offered futures contracts for precious metals, base metals, and agricultural commodities. Despite being a first-mover in India's commodity derivatives space, NMCE faced sustained challenges in liquidity and competition from MCX and NCDEX. SEBI cancelled NMCE's recognition as a national commodity exchange in 2018, effectively ending its operations.
