FTSE Russell Declares BSE Eligible for Equity Indices Starting March 2027
FTSE Russell has designated India's Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) as an eligible exchange for its equity indices, starting assessments from March 2027. This allows BSE-listed stocks to be considered for inclusion in global indices, potentially attracting passive investment flows. New BSE listings via IPOs may qualify for fast-track screening. If a company is listed on both BSE and NSE, the NSE-listed security will be preferred due to higher international investor participation. The NSE will add BSE to its Nifty 50 index from September, possibly bringing significant inflows.
