How NSE indices are organised by size
India's broad indices are built from a single ranked universe of NSE-listed companies by market capitalisation. The top 100 companies form the large-cap Nifty 100 (the Nifty 50 plus the Nifty Next 50); companies ranked 101–250 are mid-caps (the Nifty Midcap 150); and companies ranked 251–500 are small-caps (the Nifty Smallcap 250). The Nifty 200 covers the top 200 and the Nifty 500 covers all 500. Bank Nifty is a single-sector index of the largest, most liquid banks. Every one is weighted by free-float market capitalisation, so the biggest constituents carry the most weight.
