BSE has opened down at 8446.74 according to BSE official site http://www.bseindia.com/mktlive/mktwatch.asp

and also as of Times of India
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/currentquote.cms?ticker=sensex&pagenumber=0&pagesize=30&matchcompanyname=false

So the settlement has to be changed.

We have been using Reuters as the source of record for all of our indices lately, since it is so user friendly in finding out the results of data from several different markets. I just checked and it is still showing the BSE as having opened up about 30 points higher this morning. I agree, the data from the BSE own site should be the correct version, and I will probably reverse this settlement a bit later, once I can take a better look at the case. Thanks for pointing this out...everyone, perhaps even Reuters can make a mistake I guess.

And another one link pointing to a detailed summary of the performance of Sensex yesterday, Friday Nov 21st from the official site (and information) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE):
http://www.bseindia.com/mktlive/indiceswatch.asp?iname=BSE30&sensid=30&type=sens&graphpath=/applet/images/graf_appSENSEX.gif

Sensex has clearly opened at 8,446.74, below the previous day close.
The right answer is "NO" and the settlement must be corrected.
