Nifty 50 is considered a leading index of the National Stock Exchange of India, one of the two stock exchanges located in Mumbai. The index highlights the overall performance of 50 blue-chip stocks in India.
What are blue-chip stocks?
Blue-chip stocks simply mean the shares belonging to the reputed and reliable organizations, known for their financial stability. Among the roughly 1600 companies listed and traded on the NSE, the 50 stocks constitute a powerful portfolio as they are inclusive of the key sectors of the Indian stock market, including financials, technology, utilities, and energy.
Stocks included in the Nifty 50 index are perceived as blue-chip stocks, listed and traded on the NSE, with their domicile being India. The index includes companies such as Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd., State Bank of India Ltd., Bharti Airtel Ltd., and JSW Steel Ltd.
The index is not static; it regularly removes companies that have aged (if their performance is consistently declining) and adds new companies (once they meet specific criteria related to liquidity, free-float market capitalization, listing history, and trading frequency).
Calculation of Nifty 50 Index
The calculation of the NIFTY 50 index is done using a free-float market capitalization weighting method. It depicts the overall market worth of all stocks in the index compared to a base period value (November 3, 1995).
Market capitalization (market cap) means the overall value of a company’s shares owned by all investors, including the company on its own. The free-float market cap showcases the total value of shares meant for public trading, excluding those held by company owners or the government.
When this calculation method is adopted, each stock's contribution to the index calculation is taken into consideration based on the total value of its outstanding stocks.
The overall market capitalization of each stock is calculated by multiplying it with a float-factor or Investible Weight Factor (IWF). Please note that only those shares are included that remain available for public trading and omit the following categories:
- Shares retained by business owners and promoters
- Shares detained by the government
- Shares held through American/Global Depository Receipts (shares held by foreigners indirectly through foreign financial institutions in India)
- Strategic stakes by corporate bodies
- Investments held under FDI
- Investments held under FDI
- Employee Welfare Trusts (for example, shares given to employees of the company as some form of security)
- Locked-in shares (shares that cannot be traded, due to some regulation imposed on the company by a regulatory authority)
