BSE, recognized as Asia’s oldest stock exchange, marked its 150th anniversary with a significant development in India’s financial markets—the launch of the BSE 150 Index. This new benchmark index was introduced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to commemorate the exchange's historic legacy. The BSE 150 Index is designed to track the performance of the top 150 companies listed on the exchange, ranked by market capitalization and liquidity. This initiative reflects both the long-standing influence of BSE and its continued commitment to evolving with market trends, offering investors a broader and more insightful perspective on the Indian equity market.
