Book Building has emerged as the most preferred option for the corporates to raise money from the public.

BSE provides an online Book Building facility in which bids are entered through the large network of BSE Brokers across the country.

The Book Building process generates significant data on the bids:
- Number of shares bid for
- Price point at which the bids have been placed
- Type of bidder

This information provides a guide for the investors about the status of the bidding i.e. the level of investor interest in the public offering and the pricing points at which the bids are active, and to then take a decision on how much to bid and at what price.

BSE provides this bidding data, updated every 5 minutes, through its real time Data Feed network.

(BSE also makes available the prospectus of every public issue for download, before the commencement of the bidding process.)

BSE provides the historical data of All stocks and All Indices as well as the Corporate data. Data is provided through the internet.
