Market Impact

The London Stock Exchange Group — FTSE Russell eligibility is expected to attract passive fund flows into BSE-listed stocks, boosting trading volumes and liquidity on the exchange. This positive development for BSE may also enhance its competitive position relative to NSE, though the NSE preference rule could limit the actual index inclusions.

Event Summary

London Stock Exchange Group — FTSE Russell announced on August 20, 2026 that India's Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has met the criteria to be an eligible exchange for its equity indices. This decision paves the way for BSE-listed stocks to be considered for inclusion in London Stock Exchange Group — FTSE Russell indices, potentially attracting passive fund flows. Stocks listed on BSE's main board will be assessed for index eligibility starting from FTSE's March 2027 review. Additionally, stocks listing on BSE through IPOs will be eligible for fast-track screening. If a company is listed on both BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and passes liquidity tests on both, the NSE-listed security will be selected for index eligibility due to higher international institutional investor participation. NSE-listed stocks were already eligible for London Stock Exchange Group — FTSE Russell indices. This development follows NSE's earlier announcement to add BSE to its benchmark NIFTY 50 index effective September, which analysts at Annex Wealth Management estimate could bring in $695 million of inflows for BSE.
