A company has incurred the huge loss in currency trading from NSE. What will be the tax implications? Whether the same will be treated as speculation loss in terms of Section 43(5)read with Section 73 of the Income Tax Act, 1961?

Currency traidng is speculation only. Any trading in derivative in which delivery is not there is speculation only.

But as per Sec 43(5)the derivative transactions done through a recognised stock exchange shall not be treated as speculative transactions and as far as I know the NSE is a recognised stock exchange for derivative transactions.
