Answer / sumit verma

SENSEX and NIFTY are indices of major Stock Market of INDIA
i.e.The Bombay Stock Exchange and The National Stock
Exchange respectively.

1 SENSEX....derived its name from SENSitive indEX. This
index comprises of Top 30 Stock traded in The Bombay Stock
Exchange(BSE) comprising all major sectors such as IT,
Cement,Oil and Natural Gas, Bank,Auto,e.t.c. Its a
cumulative index. Remember it is just 30 stock index. Those
30 stock are dynamic in nature and keeps on changing.

2. NIFTY.....derived its name from the National Stock
Exchange(NSE)and f IFTY. Just because NSE uses 50 major
stock across all major sectors to constitute an Index called
NIFTY. The major difference between two indices that the
later uses 50 stocks as compared to 30 stocks used for Sensex.


Note:- Both these indices are the barometer of the stock
exchange, which shows that how that market is faring. In
absence of such indices it is impossible to gauge the mood
of the market OR to measure the performance of the Market.

Apart from these two indices there are several Sectoral
indices constituted by the two exchanges to measure the
performance of that particular sector in the stock Market
such as BANKEX, NIFTY IT , MIDCAP NIFTY, e.t.c

Answer / pavan jain

An abbreviation of the Bombay Exchange Sensitive Index
(Sensex) - the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE). It is composed of 30 of the largest and most
actively-traded stocks on the BSE. Initially compiled in
1986, the Sensex is the oldest stock index in India.
The Sensex is an "index".

What is an index?

An index is
basically an indicator. It gives you a general idea about
whether most of the stocks have gone up or most of the
stocks have gone down.


The Sensex is an indicator of all the major companies of
the BSE. The Nifty is an indicator of all the major
companies of the NSE. If the Sensex goes up, it means that
the prices of the stocks of most of the major companies on
the BSE have gone up. If the Sensex goes down, this tells
you that the stock price of most of the major stocks on the
BSE have gone down.

Just like the Sensex represents the top stocks of the BSE,
the Nifty represents the top stocks of the NSE. Just in
case you are confused, the BSE, is the Bombay Stock
Exchange and the NSE is the National Stock Exchange. The
BSE is situated at Bombay and the NSE is situated at Delhi.
These are the major stock exchanges in the country.

BSE.
It has got 30 listed companies


NSE.
It has got 50 listed companies
