Consolidated net profit stood at ₹874 crore for the first quarter of FY27, compared with ₹797 crore in the March quarter. Revenue remained largely unchanged at ₹1,566 crore, up 0.2% sequentially from ₹1,564 crore. Total income, however, rose 5% quarter-on-quarter to ₹1,707 crore, aided by a sharp jump in investment income.
Operating performance remained healthy despite the flat sequential revenue growth. Transaction charges, BSE’s largest revenue source, increased 1% quarter-on-quarter to ₹1,328 crore, while other operating income rose 5%.
Listing services income declined 15% sequentially to ₹101 crore, reflecting a softer primary market environment during the quarter. Investment income more than doubled to ₹135 crore from ₹62 crore in the preceding quarter.
The exchange maintained robust profitability, reporting a consolidated EBITDA of ₹1,187 crore and a net profit margin of 51% during the quarter. Consolidated net worth stood at ₹7,547 crore, while earnings per share came in at ₹21.22.
BSE also continued to post strong operating metrics across its businesses. Average daily cash market turnover rose to ₹99,553 million in the June quarter from ₹71,801 million a year ago, while the exchange’s equity derivatives business continued to scale up with average daily premium turnover touching ₹11,550 million.
Separately, BSE’s board approved increasing its holding in India International Bullion Holding (IIBH) to 20%, strengthening its presence in the bullion market ecosystem centred around GIFT City. The company currently holds a 10% stake in IIBH, according to its investor presentation, and the proposed investment underscores its strategy of expanding beyond its core equity trading business into newer market infrastructure segments.
