On July 1, 2008, the NSE developed four sectorial indices with a base value of 1,000 points, designed to provide investable benchmarks to capture the performance of specific sectors. The sectorial indices comprise of the top 10 most capitalized and liquid companies in the Banking, Insurance and Food/Beverage & Tobacco (now Consumer Goods) sectors and the top five most capitalized and liquid companies in the Oil & Gas(Petroleum Marketing) sector.
The indices, which were developed using the market capitalization methodology, are rebalanced on a biannual basis -on the first business day in January and in July.
As the Index Committee explained, The NSE-30, NSE-50 and NSE Industrial Indices are modified market capitalization index with the numbers of included stocks fixed at 30, 50 and 10, respectively. The numbers of included stocks in the NSE-Consumer Goods, Banking, Insurance and Oil/Gas Indices are 15, 10, 15 and 7 respectively.
The Stocks areselected based on their market capitalization from the most liquid sectors. The liquidity is based on the number of times the stock is traded during the preceding two quarters.

The Committee further stated that The Exchange was not oblivious of the fact that the number of the stocks included in some of the indices may be inappropriate for optimal portfolio diversification; however, the numbers would be reviewed as sector conditions change.
