BSE IT Today: Live Technology Index, Tech Stocks, Charts & Market Analysis

India's technology sector benchmark — what the BSE IT Index is, how it's built, its leading constituents, demand drivers, and how to invest.

The BSE IT Index is the benchmark technology-sector index of the Bombay Stock Exchange, tracking India's leading information-technology and software companies — spanning software development, IT consulting, cloud computing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, BPO and enterprise technology. India's IT sector is a major contributor to exports and employment, so the index is a key gauge of the industry's health. Compare it with the broad BSE Sensex and sector peers like the BSE Bankex.
