India’s major stock market indices, like the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex, are often seen as the pulse of the country’s economy. They track the performance of some of the biggest and most influential companies in the market. The Nifty 50 includes 50 stocks from the National Stock Exchange (NSE), while the Sensex tracks 30 key companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). These indices help investors get a snapshot of how the market is doing as a whole. What’s interesting is that the weight of each stock in these indices depends on its market size so the larger companies, like Reliance Industries or TCS, have a bigger say in how the index performs.
