BSE Limited (formerly Bombay Stock Exchange) has announced that it has entered into an agreement with MSCI for a number of their indexes. BSE will explore the launch of futures and options contracts in India linked to these indexes, subject to regulatory approvals.
The amount of capital benchmarked against indexes and the improved tradability of index-based
products via ETFs has led to an increasing need for futures and options. Derivatives linked to indexes
can help managers facilitate fund flows and manage equity exposure.
MSCI indexes are amongst the world’s most widely tracked benchmarks linked to more than USD 21
trillion in AUM as of December 31, 2025.
BSE Limited, established in 1875, is Asia’s oldest stock exchange and among the world’s largest in
terms of the number of listed companies. Over its distinguished legacy, BSE has played a pivotal role
capital raising and trading across diverse asset classes.
MD and CEO of BSE, Mr. Sundararaman Ramamurthy, said, “We are proud to be taking the next step
to further enhance India’s market accessibility by providing investors with an additional avenue to
access and hedge their exposure to the Indian market.
