Sensex (sensitive index) has been calculated since 1986 and initially it was calculated based on the Total Market Capitalization methodology and the methodology was changed in 2003 to Free Float Market Capitalization. The Sensex is calculated for every 15 seconds
Free Float Market Capitalization The value of all the shares available for public trading excluding the promoter equity, holdings through FDI Route, holdings by private corporate, and holdings by employee welfare funds.
Market capitalization of a co. is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company.
The formula for calculating the sensex = (sum of Free Float Market capitalization of 30 benchmark stocks)* Index Factor Where; Index Factor = 100/market cap value in 197879 100 is value during 1978-79
Assume sensex has only 2 stocks namely SBI and RELIANCE. Total shares in SBI are 500 out of 200 are held by government and only 300 are available for public trading. Reliance has 1000 shares out of which 500 are held by promoters and 500 are available for trading. Assume price of SBI stock is Rs 100 & Reliance is 200.
Solution Then Free Float Cap of these two company = (300*100+500*200) = 30,000+1,00,000 = 1,30,000 Assume market cap during the year 1978-79 was 25000 Then SENSEX = 1,30,000*100/25000 = 520
Methodology
The methodology in the example is exactly followed to calculate the SENSEX. Only difference being the inclusion of 30 stocks.
Index closure
The closing SENSEX on any trading day is computed taking the weighted average of all the traders on SENSEX constituents in the last 30 minutes of trading session.
