About BSE Sensex
BSE SENSEX is the benchmark index for the Indian stock market. It is the most frequently used
indictor while reporting on the state of the market. Sensex is not only scientifically designed but
also based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986,
SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and
representative companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The
index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as
electronic media.
The Index was initially calculated based on the “Full Market Capitalization” methodology but
was shifted to the free-float methodology with effect from September 1, 2003. The “Free-float
Market Capitalization” methodology of index construction is regarded as an industry best
practice globally. All major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use
the Free-float methodology.
Due to is wide acceptance amongst the Indian investors; SENSEX is regarded to be the pulse of
the Indian stock market. As the oldest index in the country, it provides the time series data over a
fairly long period of time (From 1979 onwards). Small wonder, the SENSEX has over the years
become one of the most prominent brands in the country.
The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from
early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear
runs. The SENSEX captured all these events in the most judicial manner. One can identify the
booms and busts of the Indian stock market through SENSEX.

What is Nifty 50?
The Nifty 50 was a list of Stocks during the 60s and 70s which had solid earnings growth and high
price to earnings ratio. Many large institutions recommended these stocks to their clients as life long
buy and holds. The fifty stocks where all large caps on the New York Stock Exchange. Nifty is one of
the leading index in the Indian stock market and the prime index of the NSE. If you consider all the
stocks in the NIFTY it accounts for almost 50% of the total traded volume in the NSE.
History:
Another reason the Nifty 50 was coined "50" was because the majority of the stocks on the list had
price to earnings ratio of 50 or more. These stocks lost their luster during the bear market of 1973-
1974, where these stocks were crushed in a matter of months. This sharp decline was changed the
views of institutions on these stocks overnight, and the Nifty50 was all but forgotten. It wasn't until
after the 87 crash through the late 90s did investors once again buy these stocks for long term
investments and not for quick swing gains.
About : NIFTY 50:-
The Nifty 50 was a group of the 50 most popular large cap stocks on the New York Stock Exchange in
the 1960s and 1970s. The group included Walt Disney, Dow Chemical, IBM and McDonald's. Nifty 50
stocks were widely regarded as solid buy-and-hold equities and the companies in the group were
characterized by consistent earnings growth and high P/E Ratios. In addition, the Nifty 50 stocks were
credited with propelling the bull market of the early 1970s.
Due to their marked stability, Nifty 50 stocks were viewed as "one-decision" picks because investors
were told to buy and hold them forever. In February 2008, Wall Street giant UBS devised the New
Nifty 50, an expanded version of the list, which now includes international companies like Toyota,
Samsung, Nokia and Swatch. The inclusion of international companies on the New Nifty 50 allows
investors to take advantage of the solid returns and stability of companies in the UK, Japan and some
European countries.
