The base value of the index has been set at 1000 and the base capital of Rs 2.06 trillion. It was initially calculated on a full market capitalization methodology but in 2009 the computation was changed to a free float methodology. The base period for the NIFTY 50 index is November 3 1995, which marked the completion of one year of operations of the National Stock Exchange Equity Market Segment. Nifty 50 index has shaped up to be the largest consisting of exchange-traded funds (onshore and offshore) and exchange-traded options at NSE. It is the world’s most actively traded contract. As of April 2021, the index covers 13 sectors of the Indian Economy and offers investment managers exposure to the Indian market in one portfolio.
