SENSEX CALCULATION

*sensex is associated with bombay stock exchange, ये तो आप जानते ही हैं

*Initially "Total market capitalization" का use किया जाता था

*Now "free float market capitalization" is used

*Base year 1978-79

*Base Index Value 100

*30 Scrips are taken into calculation

Following are excluded from calculation=>

~share held by founder/director/acquirers

~share held by Govt as promoter/acquirer

~holding through FDI route

~equity held by associate/group bodies

~ Equity held by employee welfare trust

~locked-in-share (जिन्हे trade नही कर सकते )

sensex = sum of free float market capitalization of 30 scrips * Index value

Index value = 100/total market capitalization of 30 scrips in 1978-79

Example: Assume there are three companies

ACC------market capitalization in 1978-79= 10,000rs

BHEL --- = 30,000

Bajaj--- = 50,000

Total = 90,000

PRESENTLY=>

ACC--300shares*300rs each = 90,000

BHEL 600shares*500rs each = 3,00,000

BAJAJ 600 shars*600rs each = 3,60,000 (all shares are after excluding shares held mentioned above)

TOTAL = 7,50,000

INDEX FACTOR = 100/90,000 = 0.0011

SENSEX = 7,50,000 * 0.0011 = 825 Points
