The new rebalanced index DS30 will be effective from 18 July.
DSE's acting managing director Abdul Matin Patwary told The Business Standard, "Companies are basically selected in four steps for the blue-chip index. Those three companies have lagged behind the rest in terms of performance, so they have been left out."
As per rules, companies have to go through four steps to get a place in the blue-chip index.
These include the market capitalisation of the company should be at least Tk50 crore on the basis of free-float shares and at least Tk50 lakh shares should be traded every day for three months.
