About BSE Limited

BSE Limited, formerly known as the Bombay Stock Exchange, is Asia’s oldest exchange, tracing its origins to 1875 when it began as The Native Share & Stockbrokers’ Association. Over the years, it has transformed into a fully corporatised and demutualised exchange and became the first listed stock exchange in India. Headquartered at P J Towers, Dalal Street, Mumbai, BSE operates as a multi-asset platform offering equity, debt, derivatives, currency, commodities, and mutual fund trading services. Its diversified businesses extend to clearing, settlement, data dissemination, index services, insurance distribution, agricultural markets, and technology solutions.

The company has steadily expanded its footprint, serving 219 million registered investors across 721 cities, with 1,257 registered members and over 80,000 mutual fund distributors. BSE has also established international subsidiaries such as India International Exchange (IFSC) Limited and India International Clearing Corporation (IFSC) Limited, alongside wholly owned units like BSE Technologies and BSE Index Services. The Sensex, BSE’s flagship index, is one of India’s most recognised market benchmarks.

Over the decades, BSE has achieved several milestones, including the launch of its SME platform, the StAR MF mutual fund distribution platform, India INX at GIFT City, and adoption of T+1 settlement. It is also the world’s fastest exchange with a speed of six microseconds.
