The user-friendly new portal will provide information on various asset classes with great ease to its investors. It will show integrated trading and back office reports from a single window. It will also help traders to trade anywhere, anytime by using desktops, smart phones or tablets.

Alternative assets - including structured products, private equity and venture capital funds, gold ETFs, and realty, film and art funds - are expected to grow at a rapid pace of 100 per cent per annum.

Mr Mitra also pointed out that growth potential in the online and mobile-based trading space is immense, with the increase in internet user base, internet penetration rate and e-commerce conversion ratio.

E-commerce in India has evolved over the past decade and was valued at Rs 47,349 crore in December 2012 and is expected to grow by 33 per cent and reach Rs 62,967 crore by the end of 2013.
