Shares of BSE Ltd surged nearly 3% in Monday’s trade to ₹2,440 apiece after reports confirmed that global proprietary trading firm Jane Street Group deposited ₹4,843.5 crore in an escrow account, fulfilling the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) interim order conditions.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Jane Street made the deposit on Friday, complying with the SEBI directive issued on July 3, 2025. This move enables the firm to resume its trading operations on Indian exchanges, marking a significant milestone in the closely watched case.
In its interim order, SEBI had directed Jane Street entities to deposit the alleged unlawful gains in an escrow account and had barred them from trading in the securities market. With the deposit now completed, the restrictions on trading have been lifted, although the firm is still prohibited from using the trading strategies flagged in SEBI’s order.
On the NSE, BSE shares rose by ₹68.90, or 2.91%, to ₹2,440 during early trade. The stock’s previous close was ₹2,371.10. At current levels, the company commands a market cap of approximately ₹990 billion.
Market participants view this compliance by Jane Street as a positive development for overall market sentiment and exchange activity.
