Nifty Next 50 Calculation

From May 4th 2009, the index was created using the float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted method. This is computed by multiplying the market capitalization with an investible weight factor (IWF). The IWF is a measure of shares that are freely available for trading.

IWF = [Total Shares– (A+B +C +D +E +F)] /Total Shares

where:

• A= Shareholding of promoter and promoter group
• B= Government holding in the capacity of a strategic investor
• C= Shares held by promoters through ADR/GDRs.
• D= Equity held by associate/group companies (cross-holdings)
• E= Employee Welfare Trusts
• F= Shares under lock-in category

Market Capitalization = Shares outstanding X Price
Free Float Market Capitalization = Market Capitalization X IWF

The level of the Index reflects the total market value of all the stocks in the Index relative to the base period Jan 1st, 1997
Index Value = (Current Market Value / Base Market Capital )* Base Index Value

Here: Base Market Capital: Rs 0.43 trillion and Base Index Value: 1000. In comparison, The base capital of Nifty 50 is Rs 2.06 trillion.

Stocks with the highest free-float market cap have the highest weight in the index.

​Index Level= SUM of (​Price ×Free Float Market Capitalization)​​/Divisor

The SUM is carried out over all the 50 stocks. The divisor is proprietary to the NSE tacking corporate actions into account and changes each time a stock is replaced.
