How Are Indices Of Sensex And Nifty Calculated

Sensex (sensitive index) has been calculated since 1986 and initially it was calculated based on the Total Market Capitalization methodology and the methodology was changed in 2003 to Free Float Market Capitalization. The Sensex is calculated for every 15 seconds

How Are Indices Of Sensex And Nifty Calculated

Free Float Market Capitalization The value of all the shares available for public trading excluding the promoter equity, holdings through FDI Route, holdings by private corporate, and holdings by employee welfare funds.

Why free flow market capitalization

1. It depicts the market more rationally. 2. It removes undue influence of government or promoter share holding, there by giving the equal opportunity for companies to be in the sensex. 3. Almost all the indices world over are calculated by this methodology. 4. It gives fund managers more authentic information for benchmark comparisons.

Calculation of market capitalization

Market capitalization of a co. is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company.

How Sensex Index is calculated

The formula for calculating the sensex = (sum of Free Float Market capitalization of 30 benchmark stocks)* Index Factor Where; Index Factor = 100/market cap value in 197879 100 is value during 1978-79

Example on Sensex Index calculation

Assume sensex has only 2 stocks namely SBI and RELIANCE. Total shares in SBI are 500 out of 200 are held by government and only 300 are available for public trading. Reliance has 1000 shares out of which 500 are held by promoters and 500 are available for trading. Assume price of SBI stock is Rs 100 & Reliance is 200.

Example on sensex calculation

Solution Then Free Float Cap of these two company = (300*100+500*200) = 30,000+1,00,000 = 1,30,000 Assume market cap during the year 1978-79 was 25000 Then SENSEX = 1,30,000*100/25000 = 520

Methodology

The methodology in the example is exactly followed to calculate the SENSEX. Only difference being the inclusion of 30 stocks.

Index closure

The closing SENSEX on any trading day is computed taking the weighted average of all the traders on SENSEX constituents in the last 30 minutes of trading session.

How Nifty Index is calculated

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is associated with Nifty The calculation of Nifty is same as we calculated SENSEX. But with two key differences. 1. Base year is 1995 and base value is 1000 2. Nifty is calculation based on 50 stocks. everything else reaming the same in nifty index calculation as well
