The NIFTY 50 is the principal large-cap equity benchmark index for the Indian equity market, computed and disseminated by NSE Indices Limited (formerly India Index Services & Products Limited or IISL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange of India. The index tracks the weighted performance of 50 of the largest and most liquid Indian stocks listed on the NSE, selected from the broader NIFTY 100 universe through a methodology combining market-capitalisation and liquidity filters, and is rebalanced semi-annually in March and September. Alongside the Sensex of the Bombay Stock Exchange , the NIFTY 50 is one of the two principal equity benchmarks for the Indian market and is the more widely referenced index for derivative trading, exchange-traded funds, index funds, and mutual-fund benchmarking under the SEBI scheme rationalisation circular 2017 framework.
