BSE Index Services adds a fast-track inclusion rule for its Select IPO index. Under the new methodology, a newly listed company can be added to the BSE Select IPO index immediately, ahead of the index's normal inclusion cycle, if it ranks among the top 30 listed companies by average daily total market capitalisation and has at least one month of listing history; qualifying companies get five days' notice to clients where possible, with a one-month data reference period from the IPO listing date. Effective October 30, 2026. BSE notice

NSE and BSE's other filings stayed routine this window — surveillance-list refreshes (ASM/ST-ASM/ESM), listing and ETF notices, F&O scrip housekeeping — nothing else touching algo trading, colocation, tick sizes, circuit limits or block/bulk deal rules.

RBI, IFSCA & other

No new FEMA/FPI, settlement or payment-system rule-making from RBI as rule-maker this window, and nothing equities-relevant from IFSCA.
