The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) has completed the annual rebalancing of the DSE Bangladesh Broad Index (DSEX), the semi-annual rebalancing of the DSE Bangladesh 30 Index (DS30), and the annual rebalancing of the DSE SME Growth Index (DSMEX) for 2026.

The revised indices will come into effect from January 18, according to a statement issued by the DSE on Monday.

Following the annual rebalancing, nine new companies have been included in the DSEX, while 16 companies have been dropped. As a result, the total number of constituents of the benchmark index now stands at 319.

The newly included companies in the DSEX are Bangladesh Welding Electrodes Ltd, Dhaka Electric Supply Company Ltd, Dulamia Cotton Spinning Mills Ltd, Hwa Well Textiles (BD) PLC, Northern Islami Insurance PLC, Safko Spinnings Mills Ltd, Sharp Industries PLC, Standard Ceramic Industries Ltd and Zeal Bangla Sugar Mills Ltd.

The companies excluded from the DSEX are Appollo Ispat Complex Limited, Union Capital Ltd, Meghna Condensed Milk Industries Ltd, Anlima Yarn Dyeing Ltd, Hamid Fabrics PLC, Meghna Pet Industries Ltd, Unilever Consumer Care Limited, Phoenix Finance and Investments Ltd, ICB Islamic Bank Limited, MIDAS Financing PLC, Bangladesh Export Import Company Ltd, First Security Islami Bank PLC, Export Import (Exim) Bank of Bangladesh PLC, Social Islami Bank PLC, Global Islami Bank PLC and Union Bank PLC.

Meanwhile, under the semi-annual rebalancing of the DS30 index, three companies have been added and three have been removed, effective from January 18.

Meghna Petroleum Ltd, BSRM Steels Limited and Fine Foods Limited have been included in the DS30, while Heidelberg Materials Bangladesh PLC, GPH Ispat Ltd and Khan Brothers PP Woven Bag Industries Limited have been dropped from the index.

In contrast, the annual rebalancing of the DSE SME Growth Index (DSMEX) did not result in any inclusion or exclusion. The total number of constituents of the DSMEX therefore remains unchanged at 19.
