BSE Limited Acquires 40% Stake in Social Stock Exchange Capacity Building Foundation
BSE Limited acquired 40% stake (16,000 shares) for ₹1,60,000 in the newly incorporated "Social Stock Exchange Capacity Building Foundation". The company received SEBI approval for the acquisition, which aims to strengthen the social finance ecosystem. Initial stakes by BSE and NSE will be adjusted post-RBI approval.
The acquisition represents a strategic move by BSE to support the social stock exchange ecosystem. While the initial investment is not substantial, it signifies a commitment to a developing sector, potentially having a medium-term impact on the company's broader initiatives.
The acquisition of a stake in a Section 8 company focused on social finance and capacity building is a positive development, aligning with broader financial ecosystem development.
BSE Limited has announced the successful acquisition of 16,000 Equity Shares, representing 40% of the paid-up capital, in the newly incorporated "Social Stock Exchange Capacity Building Foundation" (SSE CBF). This Section 8 company, a non-profit entity, was jointly promoted by NABARD, SIDBI, NSE, and BSE.
The acquisition received prior approval from SEBI under Regulation 38(2) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Stock Exchanges and Clearing Corporations) Regulations, 2018. The SSE CBF was incorporated on April 7, 2026, with the objective of strengthening the social finance and impact investing ecosystem in India through capacity building and engagement with Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) and For-Profit Organizations (FPOs).
Initially, BSE and NSE will each hold 40% stakes, amounting to ₹1,60,000 each. However, upon receipt of RBI approval for NABARD and SIDBI's stakes exceeding 10%, the shareholding structure will be adjusted. The final structure will see NSE, BSE, NABARD, and SIDBI each holding 25% of the equity, with an investment of ₹1,00,000 (10,000 shares) per entity.
