Get a list of NSE SME companies with their IDs
Last updated 2 November 2026 · by Venu Gopal Reddy Muvva, founder
IndianFirmData loads NSE's SME board list (NSE Emerge) every day, along with the main board. Filter on NSE board = sme to list them, add filters such as listing date, industry or state, and export the result as CSV. Each row carries the NSE symbol, ISIN, listing date, face value and market lot from NSE, plus any CIN, LEI or Wikidata id we linked, with its confidence.
Steps in IndianFirmData
1. Open Search
Sign in and open Dashboard → Search.
2. Filter by board
Add the filter NSE board (main/sme) equals sme. Add listing date or industry if you want.
3. Check the rows
Open any company to see the NSE fields and the registries we linked.
4. Export
Press Export CSV, or call POST /api/v1/datasets/export from your code.
Where the list comes from
We read NSE's published SME equity file from its archive host once a day. The same refresh brings in the main-board list and the Nifty index files we use for the official industry of listed companies.
What is missing
State and CIN are missing for many SME companies, because NSE's file does not carry them and GLEIF has LEIs for only some. We fill them as we link more registry data, and each field says whether we have it.
When IndianFirmData is not the right tool
If you need prices, volumes or announcements for SME shares, use NSE's own site or a market data vendor: we hold listing facts, not market data.
