About Sensex

Sensex stands for the Stock Exchange Sensitive Index. It is the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange, which is one of the oldest stock exchanges in Asia. Launched on 1st January 1986, it was designed to provide a clear and reliable measure of the Indian stock market's performance. It contains 30 of the largest and most actively traded companies listed on the BSE. It serves as an effective indicator of market sentiment; therefore, it helps investors to get an idea of the health and trends pertaining to the Indian economy.

What is Sensex based on?

The Sensex is based on the performance of the top 30 large companies listed on the BSE of India. These companies, representing several sectors, constitute some of the most active trading and financially robust businesses across the nation.

The Sensex uses the free-float market capitalisation method for its calculation, where companies that have a larger market value and, consequently, more publicly floating shares will be weighted more in the index.

This helps the Sensex correctly indicate the trend in the market and the investor sentiment. It thus acts like an effective representative indicator of the performance of the overall market and reflects the performance of India's leading companies.

Selection criteria for stocks in Sensex

The Sensex is composed of 30 companies that are selected through a predefined process, which is based on the following selection criteria:

The company should be listed on the BSE for at least 6 months.
It should be in the top rankings based on average six-month free-float market capitalisation.
The stock should be highly liquid and regularly traded.
The company should generate significant revenue from core business activities.
Sectoral balance is taken into consideration to ensure broad market representation.

How often do stocks in Sensex change?

Stocks in the Sensex are subject to reviews for inclusion or exclusion by the S&P BSE Index Committee, which undertakes semi-annual rebalancing exercises, normally in June and December. Companies are judged on free-float market capitalisation, trading volume, liquidity, and sector representation during such reviews.

If a stock no longer meets the required criteria, it is substituted by another stock that can better reflect the prevailing market conditions. Apart from such scheduled reviews, interim changes can also take place if a company undergoes major corporate actions in the form of mergers, acquisitions, delistings, or significant regulatory issues.

Who maintains the Sensex?

Sensex is maintained by Asia Index Private Limited, which is a joint venture of BSE Ltd. and S&P Dow Jones Indices. It is determined and reported in real time using global indexing standards. S&P BSE Index Committee monitors the incorporation and collection of stocks, which normally occurs twice annually.

Index Cell in BSE manages the daily activities related to the index, such as index computation and corrections of corporate actions. This organisation is transparent, accurate, and internationally credible. The alliance also combines the local market experience of BSE with the global indexing approach of S&P Dow Jones.

What Sensex tells us?

The Sensex indicates the general mood and the trend of the Indian stock market. It tracks the performance of 30 of the most actively traded and largest companies on the Bombay Stock Exchange and provides a clear indication of the market behaviour to any investor tracking the performance of these companies.

An increasing Sensex would mean positive corporate performance, combined with high investor sentiment and economic confidence. Conversely, a declining Sensex might represent an uncertain market, weak business performance, or global economic issues.

In other words, the Sensex shows the trend and economic perspective within the Indian market.

Is Sensex a benchmark?

Yes, Sensex is indeed a popular benchmark in India. It is indicative of the performance of 30 leading companies listed on the BSE, and can be used to compare the performance of large-cap mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment products. Passive investment funds are designed to mimic the Sensex and offer returns that are similar to the index with a very high level of precision.
