The KSE-30 Index was launched and implemented by the Karachi Stock Exchange in 2006.[4] In 2016, the Karachi Stock Exchange was merged with the Lahore Stock Exchange and Islamabad Stock Exchange to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).[5] In 2016, the PSX "announced a change in the KSE-30 index, stating that it would only cover the top thirty companies. The index will be re-composed twice a year."[4]

Other indices at the PSX represent total return of the market. That is, when a company announces a dividend, the other indices are not reduced/adjusted for that amount of dividend (whether cash or bonus). Whereas, KSE-30 Index is adjusted for dividends and right shares.

At the end of 24 December 2014, KSE-30 Index reached its highest ever level of 20,830.07.
