"The growth of turnover in equity segment by 39 per cent in this quarter over corresponding quarter previous year is highly encouraging.

"Introduction of e-KYC services in the mutual fund segment as a value added service as well as introduction of health and life insurance segment in the insurance broking entity demonstrates the relentless drive by BSE to provide more and better services to its stakeholders and public."
In addition, the company's Board in its meeting held on Monday has 'in-principle' approved exploration of the possibility of unlocking value in BSE's distribution business of 'StAR Mutual Fund' and appoint a merchant banker for the same.
