Nifty 50 index is a well-diversified index of 50 companies from 14 sectors of the economy. These stocks are considered to be the barometers of the economy and are market leaders in their own sectors. Nifty 50 is also known as nifty.
The Nifty 50 Index is managed by the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and represents the performance of the 50 largest and most liquid companies on the NSE. It is a key benchmark for the Indian stock market, widely used for investment and portfolio analysis.
Nifty 50 can be used for a variety of purposes such as benchmarking fund portfolios, launching of index funds, ETFs and structured products.
The selection of stocks for the Nifty 50 index on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is based on specific criteria established by the NSE. Here's a simplified overview of the selection process:
The NSE's Index Maintenance Sub-Committee is responsible for implementing these criteria and managing changes to the Nifty 50 index's constituents. The objective is to ensure that the index accurately reflects the performance of the largest and most liquid companies in the Indian stock market.
Nifty is computed using the free float adjustment methodology. The initial index value is set to a specific base value (e.g., 1,000) for ease of reference.
Market capitalization = Share Price x Number of shares.
Free Float Market Capitalization = Share Price x Shares Outstanding * IWF.
Index Value = Current Market Value / Base Index Value.
*IWF or Investible Weight factor = (Shares Outstanding – Locked-in Shares)/ Shares Outstanding.
Base Index Value = Base Market Capital * 1000.
Base Market capital = The average market price of a group of securities at a specific time. Used for the purpose of indexing.
The index value is computed on a real-time basis every day.
