What is Sensex and how to measure it
Sensex (short for Sensitive Index) is the stock market index indicator of BSE and is referred to as BSE Sensex. It was first adopted in 1986 and shows the stock of 30 companies from 13 different sectors. Due to the fall in these stocks, the Sensex fluctuates. Sensex is calculated using free float method.
This is how the Sensex is calculated
- The market capitalization of all the 30 companies included in the Sensex is calculated. The number of shares issued by the company and the share price multiplied gives the market capitalization of that company.
- Now the free float factor of that company is calculated. It is that percentage of the total shares issued by the company which are available for trading in the market. For example, out of 100 percent shares of a company ABC, 40 percent of the shares are with the government and the promoter, then only the remaining 60 percent will be available for trading. Thus the free float factor for this company is 60 percent.
- The free float market capitalization of that company is calculated by multiplying the free float factor of all the companies in turn by the market capitalization of that company.
- Combine the free float market capitalization of all the 30 companies included in the Sensex, divide it by the base value and then multiply it by the base index value. The base value for the Sensex has been fixed at Rs 2501.24 crore. Apart from this, the base index value is 100. Sensex is calculated from this calculation.

This is how Nifty is calculated
- Nifty is calculated on the basis of free float market capitalization almost like Sensex but there is some difference also.
- For the calculation of Nifty, first of all the market capital of all the companies is taken out, which is obtained by multiplying the outstanding share by the current price.
- The market cap is then multiplied by the Investable Weight Factor (IWF). IWF is part of the shares available for public trading.
- The free market cap is then multiplied by the weight assigned to the individual stock.
- To calculate Nifty, the current market value of all the companies is divided by the base market capital and multiplied by the base value. The base market capital has been fixed at Rs 2.06 lakh crore and the base value index is 1 thousand.
