Nifty Transportation & Logistics Index

The Nifty Transportation & Logistics index tracks 30 companies that keep India moving — carmakers, auto-part suppliers, airlines, ports, shipping, and delivery and logistics businesses.

Put simply, it brings together the companies that move people and goods around the country. All the stocks are drawn from the wider Nifty 500.

Since NSE Indices maintains the index, it serves as a reliable benchmark for fund managers to use for index funds, ETFs, and similar products focused on the transport and logistics theme.

Hence, anyone tracking the Nifty Transportation & Logistics live can see how India's mobility and supply-chain companies are moving as a group, from automakers to airports to courier firms.

Selection of stocks in the Nifty Transportation & Logistics index follows a clear theme-and-size rule. Here is how it works:

1. Parent universe

   : The stock must already be part of the Nifty 500 at the time of review.

2. Theme rule

   : The company must belong to one of the eligible transport and logistics industries, based on AMFI's industry classification.

3. Size ranking

   : From the eligible names, the largest 30 are picked by six-month average free-float market value.

4. Weighting input

   : Each chosen stock's share of the index is set by its free-float market value.

5. Stock cap

   : No single stock can take more than 10% of the index.

6. Review & rebalancing

   : The index is rebalanced semiannually.

The index uses the free-float market capitalisation method, with a cap to keep it balanced.

• Weight basis: Each stock's weight comes from its free-float market value \u2014 the shares actually available for public trading.
• Stock cap: Every stock is capped at 10% at each review, so one large company can't dominate the index.
• Real-time updates: The index value moves through the day, which later reflects the Nifty Transportation & Logistics share price tickers.
• Two versions: Along with the regular price index, a Total Returns version is also published. The Total Returns version adds dividends back in.

The Nifty Transportation & Logistics index was launched by NSE Indices on February 22, 2022, to track companies tied to India's movement of people and goods.

The index brought together a broad chunk of the mobility economy, like automobiles and their suppliers, airlines and airports, ports and shipping, and the delivery and logistics firms that have grown rapidly alongside e-commerce. Grouping them into one basket made it possible to follow the transport and supply-chain theme as a whole, rather than tracking each company separately.

Since its launch, the index has been used as a benchmark for funds and products that want exposure to India's transport and logistics companies.
