It comprises a maximum of 75 stocks, with weights based on free-float market capitalization. Sector weights are capped at 25% each and stock weights are capped at 5% each.

The base date for the index is April 01, 2005, and the base value is 1000. Over the past five years, the index has delivered a total return of 25.86% CAGR. In the last year alone, it has risen by 67.84%. The index will be reconstituted semi-annually and rebalanced on a quarterly basis.

 

Currently, Titan Company holds the largest weight in the index at 5.09%, followed by Bharti Airtel (5%), Zomato (4.99%), Tata Motors (4.98%), and Maruti Suzuki India (4.98%).

The launch of this index is expected to provide investors with a new benchmark to track the performance of new-age consumption stocks. It is also likely to pave the way for the development of passive investment products, such as ETFs and index funds, tracking this index.
