How is BSE PSU calculated? How are stocks selected for inclusion in BSE PSU?

The BSE PSU share price is computed by weighting its 57 stocks based on float-adjusted market capitalization, using the divisor methodology of the S&P Dow Jones equity indices.

The securities must fulfil the following eligibility criteria to be included in the BSE PSU index:

Should be domiciled in India and listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Should form a part of S&P BSE 500 index.
Should form a part of the PSU sector as per the BSE Sector Classification System.
Should be owned to the extent of 51% or more by central government, state government, or jointly by both the central government and one or more state governments.
Only common stocks can be included in the BSE PSU index, i.e., DVRs cannot form a part of this index.
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.

The index value is calculated as follows –

Index value = Index Market Value / Divisor

Where,

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

Divisor = Market Value / Index Value
