We The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on Wednesday reported a 11x jump in its net profit to Rs 440 crore in the first quarter of 2023-24, on the back of a Rs 340 crore profit from the sale of its stake in the clearing corporation CDSL.
The exchange’s revenue from operations in the quarter increased by around 16 percent year-on-year to Rs 215.62 crore. The BSE’s profit was boosted by the sale of its 5.73 percent stake in CDSL for Rs 600 crore in April 2023. The exchange had acquired this stake in CDSL in 2009.

- The sale of its stake in CDSL for Rs 600 crore.
