How is the Nifty Auto Index Calculated?
The Nifty Auto index is calculated using the free-float market capitalisation method. Here is the process through which the index value is computed.
Step 1: Computation of free-float market capitalisation of stocks
The market capitalisation of each stock in the Nifty Auto index is calculated and adjusted for free-float using a free-float factor. Here is the mathematical formula that is used.
Free-Float Market Cap = [(Current Market Price x Number of Outstanding Shares) x Free-Float Factor]
Step 2: Computation of Nifty Auto index value
Once the free-float market cap of each stock in the index is computed, it is then used to arrive at the index value. The mathematical formula that is used to calculate the index value is as follows:
Nifty Auto = [(Free-Float Market Cap of All Constituents x Base Index Value) ÷ Base Market Cap]
Here, the base index value is 1,000, whereas the base market cap is the market capitalisation of all of the index’s stocks as of the base date of January 1, 2004.
Nifty Auto FAQ's
If you wish to gain exposure to some of the leading stocks in the Indian automobile sector, you could consider investing in a mutual fund based on the Nifty Auto index.
