BSE zooms18% on Sebi's colo case decision
Shares of the BSE skyrocketed by 18 per cent to Rs 3,420 per share on Monday, while the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) saw a 5 per cent surge. Market players attributed the sharp rise to the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi’s) decision to drop charges against the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and its former executives in the colocation case. Analysts believe this development may pave the way for NSE's initial public offering (IPO), which could have a ripple effect on other listed market intermediaries.
