The BSE share price has surged significantly in the last 1 year. It grew from Rs 2807 per share on 7th May 2024 to Rs 6,627 per share on 7th May 2025. This upsurge was due to the introduction of Future and Options (F&O), which impacted BSE’s income significantly. This led to a positive market sentiment, led by more revenue and profit growth.
