BSE Q2 net profit rises 45% to ₹809 crore, revenue up 34%
Exchange flags FPI outflows as a drag on equity market volumes; index options see record turnover in October, while all 500 co-location racks are allocated
BSE, India's oldest stock exchange, reported a remarkable 44.9% increase in net profit for the second quarter of FY27, reaching ₹809 crore, while revenue from operations surged 34.1% to ₹1,432.66 crore. However, compared to the previous quarter, profits and revenue saw a decline of 7.4% and 8.5%, respectively. The exchange attributed this performance to foreign portfolio investor outflows due to macroeconomic uncertainty.
BSE noted a record quarterly average daily turnover of ₹10,494 crore in the equity cash segment and a significant rise in index options trading volumes. Despite challenges in assessing the impact of the Reserve Bank of India's bank guarantee norms on volumes, BSE remains optimistic about future infrastructure expansion and sustainable EBITDA margins.
