Kolkata, June 29 (IANS) The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Platform will come up with a new index for SME segment, a top executive of the exchange said Wednesday.

“The SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) inspection is over. We are expecting SEBI’s approval in a couple of weeks to a month to set up the SME Exchange. We will come up with a new index for SME segment in the exchange,” BSE SME Exchange CEO Lakshman Gugulothu told reporters here.

“We have started our all-India marketing. Here we have to mobilise the small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We are working with chambers of commerce, market intermediaries and dominant regional partners,” he added.

He said that it was mandatory for the companies with post issue face value capital up to Rs.10 crore to do the listing on the BSE SME Exchange.

Gugulothu said the criteria for listing on the main board had been changed from a minimum post issue paid up capital of Rs.3 crore to Rs.10 crore.

The SMEs with post issue paid up capital between Rs.10 crore and Rs.25 crore have been given the option to list either on SME Exchange or on the main board, he added.
