Summary
Euromoney has named BSE Index Services, which operates under the BSE Indices brand, Asia-Pacific's best index benchmark provider for 2026. According to the publication, the recognition reflects one of the most ambitious periods of product development among regional index providers.
The award comes as India's importance to international investors has intensified demand for benchmarks that capture more than the country's largest listed companies. BSE responded by broadening its range across broad-market, sector, factor, insurance and structured-product strategies.
The transformation followed BSE's acquisition in 2024 of S&P Dow Jones Indices' stake in the joint venture Asia Index Private Limited. The joint venture is best known for calculating, publishing and maintaining a family of Asian indices under the S&P BSE Indices umbrella brand. Asia Index Private Limited serves financial institutions and asset managers across India, and the company describes its offering as a full array of indices for global and domestic investors.
BSE Index Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of BSE, has continued launching products, including the BSE Saatvik 100 Index, which it describes as India's first Saatvik index. BSE also reported that it was awarded "Index Provider of the Year 2025" at the FOW International Awards, which were presented at the FOW Asia Pacific Awards 2026 in Hong Kong.
