It was the first in India to receive permanent recognition from the Government under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, and continues to be a cornerstone of India's financial infrastructure.
BSE has significantly contributed to the growth of the Indian capital market by offering a transparent and efficient platform for trading in equities, debt instruments, mutual funds, and derivatives. With its advanced electronic trading system (BOLT+), BSE now serves investors across thousands of locations in India and plays a key role in driving financial inclusion and innovation.
