MUMBAI – BSE Ltd. Tuesday said the company is planning to add more institutional participants in the equity derivatives segment going forward. "Efforts are on for us to bring in more institutional participants who can help in building on the growth trend that we are seeing...and also increase the liquidity in respect of index futures," the company told analysts in a post-earnings conference call Tuesday.

 

"We have been taking multiple steps in including more number of participants, more number of members," the company said. "Whatever were the goals that we placed in front of us for the timelines, we are in line with our expectations and we are progressing," BSE's executive added.

 

BSE announced its September quarter earnings after the market closed Tuesday. It reported a consolidated net profit of INR 5.58 billion on revenues of INR 10.68 billion. "The strong revenue growth was driven by transaction-related income, mainly from derivatives, listing-related income, which was supported by record fundraising activity in Q2 (Jul-Sept), and co-location services, which continue to develop rapidly," the company said.

 

Revenue from co-location rows improved to INR 460 million in the September quarter, up from INR 270 million in the June quarter. "This increase was primarily driven by the revision in total charges, i.e. messages per second, effective from Jul. 1," BSE said. Revenue of this segment also improved on increase in racks.

 

BSE has already allocated all the racks it had generated, but did not specify the percentage utilisation for the same. The company currently expects 70-90 more racks. By the end of 2025-26 (Apr-Mar), BSE expects to have 500 racks, which would be a mix of 6 kilovolt-amperes and 15 kilovolt-amperes.

 

The company enabled 97 new equity listings across the mainboard and small and medium enterprise boards in the September quarter, which raised a total of INR 535.48 billion. "The IPO market continues to remain exceptionally vibrant in October 2025 as well, with 45 companies collectively raising rupees 41,846 crores (INR 418.46 billion) and is expected to stay strong, driven by robust economic growth and sustained investor confidence," the company added.

 

"We are encouraged by the strong IPO pipeline, steady retail participation and growing adoption of our trading and clearing services. These trends position us well for the year ahead," BSE said. On Tuesday, shares of BSE closed at INR 2,644.20 on the National Stock Exchange, up 0.7%.  End
