Nifty CPSE

A stock market index is a tool used to measure the performance of a specific group of stocks, typically from a particular sector or market segment. These indices are calculated using various methods, often based on the market capitalization of the companies included. Stock indices help investors gauge the overall market sentiment, track industry trends, and make informed investment decisions. They are regularly updated and rebalanced to reflect changes in market conditions. By investing in indices or related financial products like ETFs, investors can gain exposure to a broad range of companies within a specific sector or market, offering diversification and reduced risk.

The NIFTY CPSE is a thematic index launched by the NSE to support the Indian government's divestment initiative in select Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). Introduced on March 18, 2014, with a base value of 1000 (base date: January 1, 2009), the index includes 12 stocks from sectors like Power, Oil & Gas, Capital Goods, Metals & Mining, and Construction. 

The index was launched in the form of a CPSE ETF to facilitate disinvestment. It is rebalanced quarterly, with a 20% cap on stock weights, ensuring it reflects the evolving dynamics of CPSEs. The NIFTY CPSE is managed by NSE Indices Limited.

The NIFTY CPSE index value is calculated using the formula:

Index Value = Current Index Market Capitalization / (Base Free Float Market Capitalization * Base Index Value)

Current Index Market Capitalization is derived from the number of shares outstanding, multiplied by the Investible Weight Factor (IWF), capping factor, and price. Since the index follows the market capitalization method, the IWF is set at 1.

The index is rebalanced semi-annually using six months of data, with cutoff dates on January 31 and July 31. Any changes to the constituent stocks take effect on the last trading day of March and September. Stocks may be removed due to suspension, delisting, or corporate events like mergers, demergers, or acquisitions. This process ensures the index accurately reflects the current dynamics of the CPSEing sector.
 

The NIFTY CPSE share price is calculated by weighting its 12 constituent stocks based on periodically capped free-float market capitalization relative to a base market capitalization, updated in real-time. To be considered for inclusion in the NIFTY CPSE index, securities must meet several eligibility criteria.

First, the stock must be listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and be included in the list of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) published by the Department of Public Enterprises. The company should be owned to the extent of 51% by the central or state government under the promoter category. Additionally, the company must have an average float-adjusted market capitalization of more than ₹1,000 crore for the six-month period ending December 2019.

To be eligible, companies must also comply with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) dividend norms. CPSEs listed on the NSE after January 1, 2004, are included in the index in the quarter following their listing. Initially, constituent stock weights were capped at 25%, but subsequent quarterly rebalancing of weights is capped at 20%, conducted in March, June, September, and December to ensure balance and accurate representation of CPSE performance.
