On the other hand, one existing constituent -- Phoenix Insurance Company – could not retain its membership for its failure to meet the criteria.

After semi-annual re-balancing of DSE 30 Index (DS30), as per criteria set by S&P Dow Jones Indices, three new companies -- Eastern Bank, Meghna Petroleum and Singer Bangladesh will be included in the DS30.
Conversely, three existing constituents of DS30, Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company, Pubali Bank and Jamuna Oil Company failed to retain their memberships as eligible constituents of DS30.
