BSE 200
The Indian stock market is primarily tracked by two major indices, Sensex and Nifty, but they alone do not capture the entire economy's movement. Sensex, for instance, tracks only the top 30 stocks by market capitalization listed on the BSE. With the rapid growth of the Indian stock market, the number of companies listed on the BSE surged to 3,200 by March 1994.
This expansion created a need for a broader index that could reflect a larger number of stocks across various industries. To address this, the BSE launched two comprehensive indices in May 1994: the BSE 200 and its dollar-denominated counterpart, Dollex 200. These indices were created to more accurately represent the growing diversity of the market and provide investors with a broader market view.
What is the BSE 200 Index?
The S&P BSE 200 Index is an index consisting of 200 stocks, ranked by market capitalization and trading volumes on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Unlike the Sensex, which tracks only major companies, the BSE 200 provides a broader representation of the Indian economy, reflecting the performance of a wider range of sectors.
The index is float-adjusted, meaning its value fluctuates based on changes in the share prices of its constituents. Together, these 200 companies represent about 80-85% of the total market capitalization on the BSE. As a result, movements in the S&P BSE 200 index offer valuable insights into the future direction of the Indian economy.
How is the BSE 200 Index Value Calculated?
The BSE 200 index is calculated using float-adjusted market capitalization, which includes only the value of shares available for trading in the market. This means shares held by promoters, employees, or the government, which are restricted from free trading, are excluded when calculating the index value. The companies in the BSE 200 are reviewed and adjusted biannually, with additions or deletions made in June and December.
To calculate the free-float market capitalization, you simply multiply the float factor (the percentage of shares available for free trading) by the company's total market capitalization. This method gives a more accurate reflection of the stock's market value based on the shares that are actively traded.
BSE 200 Scrip Selection Criteria
To be considered for inclusion in the BSE 200 index, companies must meet several important criteria. First, they should be listed and actively traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) for at least six months. This ensures a consistent trading history and performance track record.
Additionally, these companies must be highly liquid, meaning they should have been traded during at least 95% of the trading sessions on the BSE over the past six months. This liquidity requirement ensures that the stocks are frequently traded and accessible to investors.
Furthermore, companies should demonstrate a strong average traded value, specifically exceeding ₹5 billion, indicating their significance and active participation in the market.
Lastly, the companies included in the index must generate their revenue primarily from core business activities, ensuring that their performance in the market accurately reflects their main operational strengths. These criteria together ensure that the BSE 200 index represents well-established, liquid, and fundamentally sound companies in the Indian stock market.
How does BSE 200 work?
The BSE 200 index tracks the performance of the top 200 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), selected based on market capitalization and trading volumes. The index is calculated using float-adjusted market capitalization, which includes only the value of shares available for public trading. Shares held by promoters, employees, or the government are excluded.
The BSE 200 index is rebalanced semi-annually in June and December to reflect changes in the market. Companies are added or removed based on their liquidity, trading activity, and financial performance. By tracking a broad range of companies, the BSE 200 provides a more comprehensive view of the Indian stock market, helping investors gauge overall market trends and economic growth.
What are the Benefits of Investing in the BSE 200?
Investing in the BSE 200 offers several benefits. It provides broad exposure to the Indian stock market by including 200 top companies from various sectors, offering diversification and reducing the risk of relying on a few stocks. The index is calculated using float-adjusted market capitalization, ensuring that only actively traded shares are considered, which improves liquidity and market representation.
Additionally, the BSE 200 is rebalanced semi-annually, keeping it up-to-date with the latest market trends and ensuring that it reflects the evolving economy. For investors, it offers a more comprehensive view of market performance compared to narrower indices like the Sensex, helping them make informed decisions.
What is the History of the BSE 200?
The BSE 200 index was launched in May 1994 by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to provide a broader representation of the Indian stock market. Before its introduction, indices like the Sensex tracked only a small number of large-cap stocks, which limited their ability to reflect the overall market. With the rapid growth of listed companies in the early 1990s, the need for a more comprehensive index became clear.
The BSE 200 was designed to include the top 200 companies based on market capitalization and liquidity, offering a better picture of India’s economic and stock market trends. Since its launch, the index has become a key benchmark for tracking the broader market.
