BSE cleared as eligible exchange in FTSE Russell equity indices

BSE has been cleared as an eligible exchange by FTSE Russell, allowing it to participate in the company's global equity indices. This means that stocks listed on BSE's main board will be evaluated for inclusion in FTSE Russell's indices starting from March 2027. The move is significant for Indian markets as it will increase the visibility and attractiveness of Indian stocks to international investors.

Why it matters

The BSE being declared an eligible exchange for FTSE Russell equity indices could lead to increased investment in Indian stocks. This could also lead to increased confidence in the Indian market.
