How is BSE BHARAT 22 INDEX calculated? How are stocks selected for inclusion in BSE BHARAT 22 INDEX?

The BSE BHARAT 22 INDEX share price is computed by weighting its 22 stocks based on float-adjusted market capitalization, using the divisor methodology of the S&P Dow Jones equity indices, subject to 15% individual stock weight cap and 20% individual common India Industry Classification sector cap.

The securities must fulfil the following eligibility criteria to be included in the BSE BHARAT 22 INDEX:

  1. Should be domiciled in India and listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
  2. Should be classified as
  • CPSEs by the central government, or
  • Specific Undertaking of the UTI (SUUTI), or
  • Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) Banks
  1. Should be a company that has undergone stake disinvestment by the central government.
  2. Only common stocks can be included in the BSE BHARAT 22 INDEX, i.e., DVRs cannot form a part of this index.
  3. Companies that have undergone a scheme of arrangement, namely spin-offs, capital restructuring etc., must have a listing history of at least one month in order to be eligible for inclusion.
  4. Additions or deletions can only be made if the central government announces changes to its disinvestment program, subject to a 5 days advance notice.

The index value is calculated as follows –

Index value = Index Market Value / Divisor

Where,

Index Market Value = Price * Shares * IWF (Float Factor) * AWF

AWF = Additional weight factor to maintain index weight constraints

Divisor after rebalancing = Market Value / Index Value; it ignores corporate action adjustments for rights offering, bonus shares, stock splits etc.

The BSE BHARAT 22 INDEX is reconstituted annually in March. It is subject to consistency check with the SEBI norms on a quarterly basis.
