STOCK EXCHANGES IN
INDIA



BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
HISTORY:
The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia.
It traces its history to 1855, when four Gujarati and one Parsi
stockbroker would gather under banyan trees in front of
Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed
many times as the number of brokers constantly increased. The
group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875
became an official organization known as "The Native Share &
Stock Brokers Association".
On 31 August 1957, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be
recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities
Contracts Regulation Act.
In 1980, the exchange moved to the Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers at
Dalal Street, Fort Area. In 1986, it developed the BSE SENSEX index,
giving the BSE a means to measure overall performance of the
exchange.
BSE SENSEX is the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE). It is composed of 30 of the largest and most actively-traded
stocks on the BSE. Initially compiled in 1986, the Sensex is the oldest
stock index in India.



Historically an open outcry floor trading exchange, the Bombay
Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading system
developed by CMC Ltd in 1995. It took the exchange only fifty days
to make this transition. This automated, Screen Based Trading
platform called BSE On-line trading (BOLT) had a capacity of 8
million orders per day. The BSE has also introduced the world's
first centralized exchange-based internet trading system,
to enable investors anywhere in the world to trade on the BSE
platform.
