About BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index
The BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index picks 50 consistent dividend-paying companies from the wider BSE 500.
To make the cut, a company must have paid dividends every year for the past 10 years. Stocks are then ranked using a normalised Z-score of their current and 3-year average dividend yield, and the top 50 make it into the index. The weighting isn't just dividend yield either — each stock's weight is the product of its float-adjusted market cap and its Z-score, capped at 4% per stock.
In short, tracking the BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 live is looking at 50 of India's more consistent dividend payers, drawn from the broad BSE 500.

- Single-stock cap: No single stock can carry more than 4% of the index.

- Rule-based methodology: Every addition and removal follows a written rulebook with a Z-score cut-off. There are no discretionary calls in the BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 index.

History of BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index
The BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index was launched on 9th May, 2025 as a dividend filter for the BSE 500 index. It was designed to give investors a benchmark to follow companies with a consistent dividend record.
Dividend investing has a long history globally, but Indian benchmarks tracking it in a rules-based way have been few. This index was designed to fill that gap. Why the 10-year lookback? Because dividend consistency across a full market cycle is generally considered a more useful signal than a single high-yield year.
Likewise, the Z-score approach in calculation also helps to normalize the yield measurement, so companies aren't picked just because of a temporary spike in payouts.
Over time, the index has been used as a benchmark for index funds and ULIP-linked funds focused on the dividend-consistency theme.
