Fri Mar 07 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## BSE to Consult Market Before Responding to NSE’s Expiry Date Shift

**Mumbai, India** – The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Asia’s oldest stock exchange, will prioritize feedback from market participants before making any decisions regarding the recent change in derivatives expiry dates by the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), its only domestic competitor. This was announced by BSE Managing Director and CEO Sundararaman Ramamurthy in an exclusive interview with NDTV Profit.

NSE’s recent move to shift the expiry day for its futures and options contracts to Monday sparked debate about its potential impact on BSE’s market share and revenue. However, Ramamurthy emphasized that BSE’s approach is entirely market-driven. “Our stand has always been, ‘we do what the market participants want’,” he stated, adding that any change to BSE’s expiry dates would depend entirely on market feedback.

While acknowledging the potential impact on trading volumes, Ramamurthy stressed BSE’s commitment to providing a well-regulated and attractive marketplace for both domestic and international investors. He highlighted the exchange’s initiative to attract Indian investors currently trading on foreign exchanges, a program he termed “ghar wapsi” (homecoming). To achieve this, BSE is investing significantly in infrastructure upgrades over the next two years, aiming to become a world-class exchange.

Ramamurthy also offered investment advice, urging caution and long-term planning. He recommended that new investors start small with mutual funds and systematic investment plans. Finally, he emphasized the potential of artificial intelligence in enhancing exchange operations, anticipating a significant role for AI in the future of BSE.
