Introduction
Bombay Stock Exchange Limited is the oldest stock exchange in
Asia with a rich heritage. Popularly known as "BSE", it was
established as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association" in
1875.
It is the first stock exchange in the country to obtain permanent
recognition in 1956 from the Government of India under the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.The Indian capital
market is widely recognized and its index, SENSEX, is tracked
worldwide.
Earlier an Association of Persons (AOP), the Exchange is now a
demutualised and corporatised entity incorporated under the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE
Scheme, 2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI).
It consists of the 30 largest and most actively
traded stocks, representative of various sectors, on
the Bombay Stock Exchange. These companies
account for majority of the market capitalization of
the BSE.
At irregular intervals, the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE) authorities review and modify its
composition to make sure it reflects current market
conditions.

Deepak Mohoni around 1990 while writing market

Market capitalization
Market capitalization refers to the value of a
company's outstanding shares
outstanding shares: number of shares issued by the company
& subscribed by the public
Market Capitalization =
Current market price of Stock
X
SharesOutstanding
Let's assume Company XYZ has 10,000,000 shares
outstanding and the current share price is Rs90. Based on
this information and the formula above, we can calculate
that Company XYZ's market capitalization is 10,000,000 x
Rs90 = RS 90,00,00,000/-
Free float market
capitalization
efinition:
D
“It is defined as the value of the shares readily available in the
market for public trading excluding the promoters equity
holding through FDI route, holding by private corporate and
holding by employees welfare funds.”
Why free float market capitalization?
1. It depicts the market more rationally.
2. It removes undue influence of government or promoters
share holding, there by giving them equal opportunity for
companies to be in the SENSEX.
3. Almost all the indices over the world are calculated by this
methodology.
4. It gives fund managers more authentic information
The formula for calculating SENSEX
= (sum of free flow market capital of 30 blue
chip
companies)
X
index factor
Where in:
Index factor= 100/ market capital in 1978-1979
Where 100 is the index value in 1978-1979
Example:
Assume the sensex has only two stocks namely SBI and Reliance. total
shares in SBI are 500 out of which 200 are held by govt. and only
300 are available for public trading. reliance has 1000 shares out of
which 500 are held by promoters and 500 are available for trading.
assume price of SBI stock is rs.100 and reliance is rs.200.
then free floating market capital of these two companies,
(300*100+500*200)=30000+100000=130000
assume the market capital during the year 1978-79 was rs.25000
Then sensex =130000*100/25000=520.
Sectoral Index
Definition:
”A sectoral index is a measure of the relative value of a group
of stocks in numerical terms. As the stocks within an index
change value, the index value changes. An index is
important to measure the performance of investments
against a relevant market index.”
Explanation:
An Index is used to give information about the price
movements of products in the financial, commodities or any
other markets. Financial indexes are constructed to
measure price movements of stocks, bonds, T-bills and
other forms of investments.
Sectoral indexes are meant to capture the overall behavior of
equity markets. The index is created by selecting a group of
stocks that are representative of the whole market or a
specified sector or segment of the market. An Index is
calculated with reference to a base period and a base index
value.
