BSE

Aug 20 (Reuters) - FTSE Russell said on Thursday that India's BSE BSEL.NS has met the criteria to be an eligible exchange for its equity indices, paving the way for BSE-listed stocks to be considered for index inclusion and potentially attracting passive fund flows.

• Stocks listed on BSE's main board will be assessed for index eligibility from FTSE's March 2027 review, the index provider said.

• Any stocks listing on the BSE main board through initial public offerings will also be eligible for fast-track screening, it added.

• If a company is listed on both the BSE and the NSE and passes liquidity tests on both exchanges, the NSE-listed security will be selected for index eligibility as the exchange has more international institutional investor participation, FTSE Russell said.

• NSE-listed stocks are already eligible for inclusion in FTSE Russell indices.

• The NSE earlier this month said it would add BSE to its benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI index, effective September, which analysts at Nuvama said could bring in $695 million of inflows for BSE.

BSE entered into an agreement with MSCI to explore the launch of futures and options contracts in India linked to MSCI indexes, subject to regulatory approvals.

BSE launched focused IT index derivatives in the first quarter of FY27 and completed three expiry cycles. Its revenue was about ₹4,900 crore in FY26, while transaction charges were ₹1,328 crore in the first quarter of FY27.

Adds details throughout

Aug 10 (Reuters) - National Stock Exchange of India NSEI.NS said on Monday exchange operator BSE BSEL.NS will replace information technology company Wipro WIPR.NS in its benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI index effective September 30.

BSE has been added to the Nifty 50 as its six-month average free-float market capitalization was at least 1.5 times that of the index's smallest constituent Wipro, NSE said.

The change was announced as part of a semi-annual index review by the NSE.

The rejig comes as investors weigh AI-related risks to Indian IT service exporters and Indian households continue to move more of their savings into financial markets.

Changes to the Nifty 50 are closely watched as passive funds with about $97 billion of assets under management track the 50-stock index as of May 31, according to NSE data.

The index represents the 50 biggest companies in India based on average free-float market capitalization in the past six months, with trading liquidity criteria also applied before inclusion.

BSE's shares closed 4% higher earlier in the day, taking its gains so far in 2026 to around 37%. In contrast, Bengaluru-based Wipro fell 1.1% on Monday and is down 29.5% for the year.

MUMBAI, June 29 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The world's top venue for trading in equity options by volume is treading carefully with its own listing plans. India's National Stock Exchange may seek a $52 billion market capitalisation in its Mumbai initial public offering. After a decade of delays to its debut, accepting a valuation discount to rival BSE BSEL.NS, formerly Bombay Stock Exchange, is a prudent hedge against regulators tightening rules to curb retail losses and their push to loosen the bourse's dominance.

Founded in 1992, NSE executes equity options contracts worth 142 trillion rupees ($1.5 trillion) in turnover annually, thanks to the rapid uptake of trading by retail investors following the Covid pandemic. NSE controls three-fourths of that lucrative trade. A listing will also yield a windfall for its long-time backers like Temasek and State Bank of India SBI.NS.

They and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan, who took the role in 2022 after 10 years leading BSE, all appear determined to ensure a deal is done. Assume NSE's earnings of 103 billion rupees increase 34% for the year to the end of March - the same pace of earnings growth Visible Alpha estimates for BSE - and the $52 billion market capitalisation works out to 36 times earnings, compared to BSE's 49 times multiple.

Both exchanges are exposed to a potential plunge in trading volumes, with each generating roughly 60% of its top line from derivatives. The official crackdown, which last year temporarily banned high frequency trader Jane Street, also saw authorities increase minimum contract sizes, implement a ban on lending to high-frequency traders and impose higher taxes on derivatives transactions. If retail investors' chunky losses continue, more restrictions could follow.

NSE's sheer outsize influence is seen as a problem too. Its market share in options trading has tumbled to 75% from 97% two years ago, when the regulator began tightening control over the number and frequency of contracts the exchanges can offer. As a result, NSE's bottom line fell 16% in the most recent financial year even as BSE's grew 88%. Another reason for Chauhan to accept a discount is simply that BSE's scarcity premium will disappear. All that makes selling cheap an imperative more than an option.

Updates share levels, adds brokerage comments in paragraphs 3,8

Feb 16 (Reuters) - Shares of Indian bourse BSE BSEL.NS led losses among bourse and brokerage stocks on Monday, dropping as much as 9.9%, after the country's central bank tightened norms for bank lending to stock brokers and other market intermediaries.

On Friday, the Reserve Bank of India issued revised norms regarding banks' lending to capital market participants, including higher collateral requirements for bank guarantees and a ban on lending for proprietary trading by brokers.

Proprietary trading, which involves using a company's own funds to trade, accounts for 50% of equity options premium turnover, according to Jefferies. Stricter collateral requirements for bank financing to such traders would raise costs.

Stock brokers Groww BILO.NS, Angel One ANGO.NS and Motilal Oswal Financial Services MOFS.NS fell as much as 4.8%, 9.5% and 3.3%, respectively.

The revised norms will take effect from April 1.

The new rules, in conjunction with the recently hiked transaction tax on equity futures and options, are expected to dampen derivative trading volumes. India's federal government and financial regulators have taken several steps to cool the derivative trading market, where retail investors have made losses.

Jefferies pegs BSE as the most affected by the new regulations on proprietary trading, which could result in a 10% earnings impact on the exchange operator.

Angel One would need to "immediately relook" its funding for the margin trading facility, JM Financial analysts said in a note, while Groww may need to raise funds from the market.

Writes through with context, SEBI chair comments

MUMBAI, Jan 15 - India's government has approved a cut to the minimum proportion of shares large companies looking to list must sell to 2.5% of their share capital from 5%, the markets regulator said on Thursday, paving the way for Reliance Jio Platforms' highly-anticipated IPO.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India also agreed in principle to the National Stock Exchange's application to settle a legal dispute that has delayed the NSE's initial public offering, SEBI Chair Tuhin Kanta Pandey said.

The regulator last year halved the minimum IPO float for large companies, allowing those valued above 5 trillion rupees ($57 billion) after listing to sell just 2.5% of their paid-up capital.

The measure, aimed at making it easier for the market to absorb the hefty offerings, was awaiting government approval to come into effect.

Reliance's RELI.NS telecom arm Jio Platforms is considering a listing this year that would float 2.5% of the firm, potentially making it India's largest-ever IPO worth more than $4 billion.

The regulator has been easing regulations and fast-tracking clearances in the world's second-largest market for initial public offerings.

On Saturday, Pandey said that the regulator will this month issue the approval needed for NSE to launch its stock market offering.

Reuters reported on Monday that the exchange plans to file draft listing papers by end-March and is in discussions with investment bankers and law firms to gauge investor appetite.

NSE, the world's largest derivatives exchange, has been trying to go public since 2016 but failed to secure regulatory approval due to pending legal cases and governance concerns. Its main domestic rival BSE Ltd BSEL.NS is listed.
