Bombay Stock Exchange The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia.[8] Its history dates back to 1855, when 22 stockbrokers[9] would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times to accommodate an increasing number of brokers. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and became an official organization known as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association" in 1875.
