The BSE 100 index was launched on January 3, 1989, by the Bombay Stock Exchange to track the performance of the top 100 large and liquid companies across sectors.

The sole purpose of this BSE index was to offer a broader benchmark beyond narrower indices, helping investors understand the performance of established companies across the market rather than focusing on just a few stocks.

Over time, the BSE 100 price has evolved alongside India's economic growth, reflecting sectoral shifts, market expansion, and increasing investor participation. Its composition is periodically updated to stay aligned with changing market dynamics.

Even today, because of its wide coverage, the BSE 100 is often looked at not for stock-specific insights, but more for understanding the overall direction of large, established companies.
