BSE's Sensex Options Gain Traction with Rising FPI Participation and Growth Prospects

BSE has seen a fivefold increase in foreign portfolio investor registrations over the past year, driven by growing interest in its Sensex weekly options, which now account for a significant share of its equity options turnover. The exchange aims to expand market liquidity by promoting longer-dated contracts and increasing broker participation. Jefferies projects Sensex options on BSE could match NSE's Nifty options scale by FY29 but cautions investors about valuation, regulatory risks, and reliance on a single product.
