**Mumbai, March 28, 2025** – Shares of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) experienced a significant surge today, jumping over 15% to ₹5,392.55 apiece during intraday trading. This surge followed an announcement that the BSE board will meet on March 30th to consider a proposal for issuing bonus shares. The optimism surrounding the BSE also boosted shares of Central Depository Services (CDSL) and the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), which saw increases of over 5% and 4%, respectively. BSE Limited is a promoter of CDSL and holds a 15% stake in the company.

Adding to the positive market sentiment, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) announced a postponement of its plan to change the expiry day of all index and stock derivatives from Thursday to Monday. This decision comes in response to a consultation paper from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on the final settlement day for equity derivatives. The NSE stated the implementation is deferred until further notice.

Early trading saw BSE shares rise as much as 18% before settling at over 15% for the day. The upcoming bonus share proposal is a key factor driving investor enthusiasm.
