An index tracks a basket of stocks as a single number, so one value tells you how a whole market or sector moved. These 9 NSE indices each have a page with the live level, the day and 52-week range, returns from 1 day to 5 years, Classic, Fibonacci and Camarilla pivots, the day's gainers and losers, and the full constituent list.

Benchmark vs sector indices

The Nifty 50 is the broad-market benchmark — the 50 largest and most liquid NSE companies, weighted by free-float market capitalisation. The sector indices narrow that to one industry, which makes them the quicker way to see whether a move is market-wide or confined to banks, IT or metals.

How index weighting works

NSE indices are weighted by free-float market capitalisation, so a company's influence depends on the value of its freely tradable shares rather than its share price. A large constituent moving 1% shifts the index far more than a small one moving 5% — which is why the constituent list and weightings on each index page matter when you are reading a move.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Nifty 50 tracks the 50 largest and most liquid NSE companies across every sector, so it represents the broad market. Bank Nifty tracks only the leading banking stocks, so it is far more concentrated and usually more volatile. When banks lead a rally, Bank Nifty moves more sharply than the Nifty 50.

NSE indices use free-float market capitalisation weighting. Each constituent's weight is based on the market value of its freely tradable shares, divided by an index divisor that keeps the series continuous through corporate actions and constituent changes.

The Nifty indices are reviewed semi-annually, and constituents can change as companies grow or shrink relative to their peers. Each index page lists its current constituents.

Not in the index itself, but you can invest in it through index funds and ETFs that track it, or trade index futures and options. An index fund aims to replicate the index return at a low expense ratio rather than beat it.

9 indices in total: the Nifty 50 and Nifty Bank benchmarks plus the IT, FMCG, Pharma, Auto, Metal, Realty and Energy sector indices.
