BSE Limited recorded the sharpest rise in mutual fund holdings among Nifty 50 stocks in September 2026, with mutual funds increasing their shareholding by 34.6% month-on-month to 6.49 crore shares.

BSE Limited, along with the NSE, saw average daily premium turnover in index options fall 27% in the September quarter from the June quarter, as retail traders moved to commodity options on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India due to higher volatility, a 50% hike in securities transaction tax on equity options to 0.15% versus 0.05% for commodities, and tighter equity derivatives rules.

BSE Limited reported a 62% jump in consolidated net profit to Rs872.66 crore in Q1FY27, while its shares rose 24-26% year-to-date as part of the broader Nifty Capital Markets rally.
