Index Methodology
The Nifty50 Equal Weight Index aims to measure the performance of constituents forming part of the parent index, the Nifty 50 Index,
where each company in the index shall be assigned equal weights at the time of review.
• The index has a base date of November 03, 1995 and a base value of 1000
• All constituents forming part of the Nifty 50 shall form part of the index
• Equal weight shall be assigned to all the companies in the index
• In case there are multiple securities (e.g. DVR) of the same company in the index, the company will be equal weighted and the
securities of such company will be weighted in proportion to free float market capitalization.
• Index shall be rebalanced quarterly where weights are rebalanced back to equal
• Index shall be reconstituted semi-annually along with Nifty 50
• Additionally, during the year, ad-hoc rebalancing and reconstitution of index may be initiated in case any of the index constituents
ceases to form part of the parent index due to suspension, delisting or scheme of arrangement.
