While nothing has yet been made public, market sources affirm that the discussions centred around Nasdaq picking up a stake in the BSE. BSE had last month had announced that it would divest a 51 per cent stake by May 2007. It also said 26 per cent stake would be divested in favour of a bank or a stock exchange.

"We are interested in participating in global consolidation," Greifeld said adding, "we are interested in forming strategic partnerships in regions where there are synergies in the business model."

BSE officials did not deny their meeting with Nasdaq officials but both sides were tightlipped. Greifeld was accompanied by Charlotte Crosswell, head of Nasdaq International, and Ghanshyam Dass, Nasdaq MD for the Asia-Pacific region
