The Nifty FMCG index comprises 15 leading companies from the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, selected using the following criteria:

1. Inclusion in the Nifty 500

   : Companies must be part of the Nifty 500 index at the time of semi-annual review. If a sector has fewer than 10 eligible stocks, additional companies are considered from the top 800 stocks, based on average daily turnover and market capitalization over the past six months.

2. Sector Eligibility

3. Trading Frequency

The Nifty FMCG is calculated using the free-float market capitalization method.

Here's a detailed methodology:

The Nifty FMCG was introduced on September 22, 1999, to track the performance of India's fast-moving consumer goods sector. It's like a snapshot of everyday consumption in India, reflected through listed companies.

It was created to provide a focused benchmark for consumption-driven companies. As a result, fund houses use this index as an underlying metric for fund portfolios, ETFs, the launching of index funds, and structured products.

Since the late 1900s, FMCG has become a core part of India's economy and has always been driven by daily demand. Following the footsteps, this index has reflected shifts in rural demand, urban consumption, and brand growth.
