Launched in April 1996 with a base value of 1,000 and a base date of November 3, 1995, it is calculated using the free float market capitalization method. This ensures the index reflects only shares available for public trading.

Other major sectors include Information Technology (10.45%), Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels (9.99%), Automobile and Auto Components (7.19%), and FMCG (6.75%). This broad sector spread ensures that the Nifty 50 reflects overall market sentiment rather than relying on a single industry.
