ION, a provider of trading, analytics, treasury, and risk management solutions for capital markets, commodities, and treasury management, announces that it is now registered as an Independent Software Vendor for algorithmic trading on BSE (formerly Bombay Stock Exchange).
The registration allows exchange members to use the algorithmic trading functionality of ION’s Fidessa trading platform on BSE.
This milestone follows ION’s approval as an equities trading vendor on BSE in June last year, and further strengthens ION’s commitment to supporting the evolving needs of the Indian capital markets.

It enables real-time performance monitoring, automates workflows to optimize trading desks, and eliminates the need for additional tools—reducing costs and boosting efficiency.
Established in 1875, BSE is Asia’s oldest stock exchange and has over 5,700 listings. It has played a key role in the growth of the Indian corporate sector by providing an efficient capital-raising platform.
