NIFTY Realty is a specialised sectoral index on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) that provides a benchmark for the performance of the real estate sector in India. This index includes companies primarily engaged in activities related to the construction, development, and sale of residential and commercial properties.

The NIFTY Realty index was created to give investors and analysts a clearer picture of the real estate sector's health and trends.
