BSE SHARES EXTEND LOSSES ON NSE LISTING PLANS

BSE shares fell 1.52% on Friday after reports suggested that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) may allow trading of its own shares on its platform, subject to SEBI approval. Investors fear the move could eventually impact trading volumes on BSE. The stock is also facing pressure from regulatory changes, including SEBI’s Common Account Settlement framework and higher Securities Transaction Tax (STT), which have weighed on derivatives trading activity. A recent SEBI study showed that participation by individual traders in the equity derivatives market declined by around 20% in FY26. According to SEBI, individual traders incurred net losses of ₹91,685 crore in FY26, while nearly 46 lakh traders exited the derivatives segment during the year. These developments have increased concerns over future derivatives volumes and competition, keeping pressure on BSE shares despite the company’s strong financial performance.
