BSE Large Cap
The BSE LargeCap Index tracks the top large-cap companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), representing around 70% of the total market capitalization of the S&P BSE AllCap Index. These large-cap stocks consist of well-established companies with a market capitalization of ₹7,000 to ₹20,000 crores or more. Known for their stability, liquidity, and leadership in the market, these companies are resilient even during economic downturns.
The index uses the free-float market capitalization method, meaning only shares available for public trading are included. It is widely used for benchmarking portfolios, launching ETFs, and other investment products, providing investors with diversified exposure to India’s large-cap segment.
What is the BSE Largecap Index?
The S&P BSE large-cap embodies the top 70% of the total market cap of the S&P BSE AllCap. The index is representative of the large-cap segment in the Indian stock market. In market capitalization, large-cap stocks are called first-class stocks.
They can be described as well-established companies with a vast market share in the stock market. Large-cap companies are usually known as market leaders because they are stable and rule over the industry. The market capitalization of the well-established companies is around ₹20,000 crore and more.
Apart from operating for decades, these companies are also known to keep it all together during times of recession. The top 100 companies in the stock market fall under the large-cap category due to their profitable track record.
How is the BSE Largecap Index Value Calculated?
The S&P BSE LARGECAP Index is calculated using the free-float market capitalization method, which differs from the older weighted method. In this approach, only the shares available for trading are included, excluding those held by employees, the government, and others.
The formula for free-float market capitalization is:
Free-Float Market Capitalization = Market Capitalization * Free Float Factor
where the free float factor represents the percentage of shares available for trading.
To calculate the BSE LARGECAP share price, the formula is:
BSE LARGECAP Share Price = (Total Free-Float Market Capitalization * Base Index Value) / Base Market Capitalization.
This index reflects 70% of the market cap of S&P BSE ALLCAP and is regularly updated, so it's essential to check for the latest stock values.
BSE Largecap Scrip Selection Criteria
The selection of the 30 stocks for the Sensex LARGECAP Index is based on several key criteria. The stocks must be listed on the BSE and have a market capitalization between ₹7,000 to 20,000 crores. Only relatively liquid stocks are chosen, ensuring ease of trading.
Additionally, the company's revenue must primarily come from its core business activities, and its sector focus should align with the broader Indian equity market, ensuring a well-diversified and balanced representation. These criteria help maintain the strength and relevance of the Sensex LARGECAP Index.
