Started in 1975 by the Ananda Bazar group in what was then Calcutta, the paper was hived off as a separate company in 1996, and then bought by Mumbai-based financial investors, after which it began a phase of rapid expansion with the launch of new editions. The Financial Times of London took an equity stake in BSL in 2004.

The editor is T.N. Ninan, who was earlier editor of The Economic Times. The paper sells 130,000 copies daily, and has a reputation for responsible journalism and for its stimulating editorial page. It has pioneered the ranking of the wealthiest Indians (in the Billionaire Club), and offers along with the paper free monthly magazines on motoring and aviation. The paper recently started its Sunday edition from three publishing centres.

The newspaper's website is business-standard.com. BSL also publishes several periodicals, including BS Motoring, Indian Management, the Asian Management Review and Routes: the Gateway Magazine."
