Since March 30, BSE shares have risen by 17.63%, following the approval and issue of a 2:1 bonus share issue—two shares for every one held.
This marked BSE's second bonus share issue in three years. In February 2022, the exchange issued bonus shares in the same ratio, providing investors with two additional shares for every share held.

With the recent 2:1 bonus share issue, a final dividend announcement is anticipated along with the financial results. If approved, this potential dividend will further benefit shareholders this year.
