    BSE IPO Opening Date

    January 06, 2017
    BSE IPO Opening Date
    The IPO of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) of India is likely to open in the fourth week of January 2017. The market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had approved stock exchange BSE’s initial public offer (IPO) of 1,54,27,197 shares of face value of Rs.2/- each

    As of June 30, 2016, the BSE had 1,440 unique members across all segments and in FY2016 the BSE accepted an average of 284.92 million orders and 1.55 million trades in equity shares per trading day, placing it as the 12th most active exchange in the world in terms of electronic book trades in equity shares

    An extraordinary and rather interesting aspect of this listing, whenever materialized, would be that BSE is itself an exchange and listing of BSE on itself would be an issue. In this regard, SEBI said an exchange cannot be listed on itself, which means if the BSE were to go public, it has to do so on the NSE or another exchange and vice versa

    History of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) of India

    January 06, 2017
    History of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) of India

    The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is an Indian stock exchange located at Dalal Street, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai (formerly Bombay), Maharashtra, India.

    Established in 1875, the BSE is Asia’s first stock exchange. It claims to be the world's fastest stock exchange, with a median trade speed of 6 microseconds.

    Here's a look at the history of this landmark stock exchange of Asia:


    Oldest stock exchange in Asia
    The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia. Its history dates back to 1855, when five stockbrokers would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times to accommodate an increasing number of brokers. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and became an official organization known as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association" in 1875.

     Founded by 'Bullion King'
    Bombay Stock Exchange founded by Premchand Roychand, one of the most influential businessmen in 19th-century Bombay. A man who made a fortune in the stockbroking business and came to be known as the Cotton King, the Bullion King or the Big Bull. He was the founder of the Native Share and Stock Brokers Association.

    'SENSEX' developed
    On August 31, 1957, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act. In 1980, the exchange moved to the Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers at Dalal Street, Fort area. In 1986, it developed the BSE SENSEX index, giving the BSE a means to measure the overall performance of the exchange. In 2000, the BSE used this index to open its derivatives market, trading SENSEX futures contracts. The development of SENSEX options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform.

    Modern Electronic Trading System
    Historically an open outcry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading system developed by CMC Ltd. in 1995. It took the exchange only 50 days to make this transition.

    Today, this automated, screen-based trading platform called BSE On-Line Trading (BOLT) had a capacity of 8 million orders per day. The BSE has also introduced a centralized exchange-based internet trading system, BSEWEBx.co.in to enable investors anywhere in the world to trade on the BSE platform

    The BSE is the world's 11th largest stock exchange with an overall market capitalization of $1.43 Trillion as of March, 2016. More than 5500 companies are publicly listed on the BSE
