What is Nifty 50?

Nifty 50 is a benchmark index of the Indian stock market. It represents the weighted average of the top 50 large-cap, most liquid stocks listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The stocks in the index span 13 economic areas. As called Nifty, the index is used to benchmark fund portfolios, index funds, and index-based derivatives.

Although the index has only 50 of the 1,600 companies listed on the NSE, it captures 66% of its float-adjusted market capitalisation. Therefore, the Nifty 50 is regarded as a true reflection of the Indian stock market.

How is Nifty 50 calculated?

The Nifty 50 index is constructed using the free-float market-capitalisation-weighted method. It represents the market value of all the stocks in the index in comparison to a standard period value.

The value of a company’s shareholdings is referred to as its market capitalisation or market cap. The total market value of those shares that are accessible for public trade is called the free-float market cap.

Using this technique, each stock in the index is allocated a weight based on the total value of the outstanding shares.

Each stock’s market cap is calculated by multiplying it by a float factor or Investible Weight Factor (IWF). It solely takes into account shares that are accessible for public trade.

Market capitalisation = Shares outstanding * Current Price

Free-float Market Capitalisation = Market Cap * IWF

Index Value = (Current market value/Base market capital) * 1000

Here, the current market value is the weighted total market capitalisation of all 50 firms. The weighted aggregate market capitalisation of all 50 firms in the base period is the base market capital.
