Calcutta Stock Exchange Issues 2:1 Bonus Shares After FY26 Profit Rise
The Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) issued bonus shares at a 2:1 ratio after reporting a net profit of approximately Rs 215.57 crore in FY26, reversing a previous loss of Rs 21.87 crore. This profit surge was driven by a one-time gain of Rs 249.28 crore from sub-leasing a three-acre land parcel in Kolkata. The bonus issue triples the equity share count but does not raise fresh funds. CSE is exploring reviving its trading platform with West Bengal government support, while SEBI had barred its independent trading since 2013.
