There are around 5000 companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India. In case you are searching for a multi-bagger, this can be the size of the goldmine you need to dig. If you are successful, then it would change your life forever. At fintox, we are in the journey of exploring multi-baggers while driving financial literacy. However, to start with, here is all you need to know about all companies listed on BSE in India.
All companies listed on BSE in India
Out of the 5000 companies listed on BSE, there are quite a few which are either de-listed or completely inactive. The remaining number of companies stand at around 3962.
These companies are grouped under various classifications like A, B, T & Z by BSE to guide investors while investing. Unfortunately, most of the individuals who are trading or investing on BSE may not be aware of such classifications. Here we have covered this classification as the basic tenet to ensure that you safeguard your investments.
The stocks are classified by BSE based on various factors like liquidity, volatility, trustworthiness etc.
Classification of stocks by BSE

BSE Group T
There are stocks which are settled on a trade to trade basis.
BSE Group Z
These stocks are of those companies which have failed to comply with listing requirements or failed to resolve investor complaints or failed to make required arrangements with depositories like CDSL and NSDL.
BSE Group B
All other companies which do not fall in any of the above 3 categories come under Group B.
BSE Group F
This group refers to fixed income securities traded on the exchange.
BSE Group G
This group refers to government securities traded on the exchange.
BSE Group X & XT
These denote stocks which are exclusively listed on the BSE. XT refers to those exclusive stocks which are settled on a trade to trade basis. And X refers to other exclusive BSE stocks.
BSE Group M & MT
These groups refer to small and medium enterprises listed on the BSE.
So from this, you should be clear that, in case you are trying to invest for a longer term, your selected stock should fall in the T or Z category. Also you may avoid F, G, XT for long term investments. This lowers down the efforts for finding the multi-baggers.
These group classifications are reviewed from time to time and some stocks may get re-classified.
