Nifty 100 Share Price

Nifty 100 is an index that reflects the performance of the top 100 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). These companies are part of the Nifty 500 universe and are leaders in their industries. They are also known as large-cap stocks.

The index is essentially a combination of the Nifty 50 and the Nifty Next 50, offering a comprehensive view of India's top-performing and emerging blue-chip companies.

When you track Nifty 100 today, Nifty 100 live, or monitor the Nifty 100 share price, you are observing the overall movement of some of the most influential and financially strong businesses in India.

This makes the Nifty 100 index a key benchmark for investors looking to understand large-cap market trends and overall economic sentiment.

The Nifty 100 index consists of 100 companies selected based on strict eligibility criteria to ensure liquidity, stability, and market representation.

Here's how the selection works:

1. Inclusion in Nifty 500

   : Only companies listed in the Nifty 500 index are eligible.

2. Market Capitalization Ranking

   : Stocks are chosen based on their market capitalization. Normally, stocks are chosen from the top 90.

3. Buffer Criteria

   : Existing constituents may remain in the index if their rank falls within the top 110, ensuring stability and reducing frequent churn.

4. Minimum Listing History

   : Companies must have a minimum listing history of at least one month up to the cut-off date.

5. Liquidity Requirement

   : Stocks must have adequate trading frequency and liquidity for smoother market participation.

6. Final Selection

   : The leading 100 companies are selected based on full market capitalization and eligibility criteria to create the index.

7. Index Rebalancing

   : The index is reviewed and rebalanced semi-annually (January and July), based on average data over the previous six months.

This structured approach ensures that the Nifty 100 remains a reliable representation of India's large-cap equity space.

The Nifty 100 index uses the free-float market capitalization method, which only considers shares available for public trading.

Step-by-step calculation methodology:

1. Step 1: Free-Float Market Capitalization

   
   Only publicly tradable shares are considered. Promoter holdings, government stakes, and locked-in shares are excluded.

2. Step 2: Assigning Weights

   
   Each company is assigned a weight based on its free-float market capitalization. Larger companies have a greater impact on the index.

3. Step 3: Aggregation of Market Value

   
   The weighted market capitalization of all 100 companies is aggregated to derive the index value.

4. Step 4: Base Value Reference

   
   The index level is calculated relative to a base value (1000) set at the base date.

5. Step 5: Real-Time Updates

   
   The index is computed in real time during market hours. This allows investors to monitor the Nifty 100's live performance.

6. Step 6: Periodic Rebalancing

   
   The index is rebalanced every six months to reflect changes in market capitalization and stock eligibility.
