A Sensex Index Fund is a passive mutual fund scheme that tracks the BSE Sensex (also known as the BSE 30 or simply the Sensex), the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange comprising 30 large-cap Indian companies. The Sensex is one of India’s two principal stock-market benchmark indices alongside the Nifty 50 , with both indices having significant overlap in their constituents (the 30 Sensex stocks are largely a subset of the Nifty 50 top 50).

The BSE Sensex, formally the S&P BSE Sensex, is the principal benchmark equity index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) , comprising 30 of the largest and most actively traded stocks listed on the BSE. The index is computed on a free-float market-capitalisation-weighted basis with a base value of 100 set as of the financial year ending 31 March 1979. The Sensex (a portmanteau of “Sensitive Index”) was introduced on 2 January 1986 and is, alongside the Nifty 50 of the National Stock Exchange, one of the two principal benchmark indices used by the Indian equity market, by global investors, by Indian mutual fund schemes as a performance benchmark, and by the regulatory and macroeconomic policy community as a real-time indicator of Indian equity-market conditions.
