The S&P BSE Sensexis the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange — a free-float market-cap weighted index of 30 large-cap Indian companiesacross banking, IT, energy, FMCG, auto, pharma and infrastructure. Established in 1986 with a base value of 100 (1978-79 levels), Sensex is India’s oldest stock market benchmark. Trading hours: 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST, Monday to Friday. Pre-open session 9:00 AM to 9:15 AM. Closing session 3:40 PM to 4:00 PM for post-close orders.
How the Sensex is calculated
The Sensex uses the free-float market capitalisation method. Each of the 30 companies moves the index in proportion to the market value of its publicly tradableshares — not its total shares, and not equally. Promoter and government holdings are excluded from the free-float, so two companies of the same total size can carry very different index weights depending on how much of the company trades on the open market.
The current index value is derived from the ratio of today’s total free-float market cap of the 30 constituents to the market cap in the base period (1978-79 = 100), scaled by an index divisor that BSE adjusts for corporate actions (bonuses, splits, rights issues) so those events don’t create artificial jumps. This is why a Sensex level of 75,000 means the free-float value of these 30 companies is roughly 750 times what it was in 1979.
Because the index is weighted, its top 10 stocks make up roughly 62%of the total weight. A handful of heavyweights — typically HDFC Bank, Reliance and ICICI Bank — can push the headline number up even on a day when the majority of the 30 stocks fall. The full constituent list with each company’s weight is shown below.

How is the Sensex calculated?
Sensex is calculated using the free-float market capitalization weighted methodology. Each of the 30 constituent companies contributes to the index proportional to its free-float market cap (total shares × price × free-float factor). The index value is the total free-float market cap of all 30 stocks divided by a base divisor that keeps the value comparable to the 1978-79 base year.

The Sensex 30 includes HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel, Infosys, Larsen & Toubro, ITC, TCS, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, State Bank of India, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Sun Pharma, UltraTech Cement, Titan, NTPC, Power Grid, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Motors, Adani Ports, HCL Technologies, Asian Paints, Tata Steel, Nestle India, Tech Mahindra, IndusInd Bank, and Wipro.

What is the difference between Sensex and Nifty?
Sensex tracks 30 BSE-listed companies; Nifty 50 tracks 50 NSE-listed companies. There is roughly 80% overlap in constituents, but Nifty is broader (more sectoral diversity) while Sensex is more concentrated in heavyweights. Day-to-day they move in lockstep; longer term Nifty is the more widely tracked benchmark for institutional flows.
When does Sensex open and close?
Sensex opens at 09:15 AM IST and closes at 03:30 PM IST, Monday to Friday. A 15-minute pre-open session runs from 09:00 to 09:15.
