Shakir - did u click on the 2nd tab (assigned numeric values)?
Anyway - even if you did not find the ones that you are looking for here, it is quiet possible that Reuter's themselves hasn't assigned an exchange code for these exchanges (did u check with reuters?)
As far as i know - Indian exchanges were not directly communicating FIX till very recently. If they have, it would be nice to have them get their own exchange code added to FPL...
