BSE Index Services Pvt. Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), on Friday announced the launch of a new index -- BSE All Derivative Stocks Index. The BSE All Derivative Stocks Index aims to track the performance of the constituents of BSE 500 Index which are linked to derivative trading. 

This new index can be used for running passive strategies such as exchange traded funds (ETFs) and index funds. It can also be used for benchmarking PMS strategies, MF schemes and fund portfolio.

The index marks a structural change in the way market benchmarks are constructed in India, said Ashutosh Singh, MD and CEO of BSE Index Services Pvt. Ltd.

The index dynamically represents the entire derivative-eligible equity universe and thus mirrors the changing depth, liquidity, and maturity of India’s capital markets.

"It provides market participants with a transparent, rules-based benchmark that evolves alongside the derivatives ecosystem by automatically expanding and contracting with the eligible universe,” Singh added.

The BSE All Derivative Stocks Index constituents are weighted by the product of float-adjusted market capitalization and momentum score, subject to an individual stock weight cap of 10 per cent. The base value is 1,000, first value date is June, 23, 2014, and it is reconstituted semi-annually in June and December.

Investors can now access a broader spectrum of market opportunities, further enriching their investment strategies with this latest addition to BSE's suite of indices, the statement said.

BSE had, in December 2025, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Department of Posts to enable distribution of mutual fund products through India Post’s extensive postal network.

Under the three?year agreement, selected employees and agents of the Department of Posts will be trained and onboarded as certified mutual fund distributors to offer products and investor services via BSE's StAR Mutual Fund platform.
