The index is calculated using a free-float market capitalisation method to reflect the real-time value of tradable shares.

1. Step 1: The Formula

   
   Index Value = (Current Free-Float Market Capitalisation / Base Market Capitalisation) x Base Index Value

2. Step 2: Free-Float Market Cap Calculation

   
   Using this method, free-float shares exclude promoter holdings and other locked-in shares.

3. Step 3: Aggregation of Constituents

   
   The Free-float market capitalisation of all constituent stocks is totalled, and the aggregated value determines the index level in real time.

4. Step 4: Corporate Action Adjustments

   
   Likewise, adjustments are made for stock splits, bonus issues, rights issues, and mergers. This ensures index continuity without distortion.

5. Step 5: Review & Rebalancing Cadence

   
   The index is reviewed semi-annually (in June and December) to find alignment with sector classification and eligibility criteria.
