NIFTY Metal index is updated every six months with data reviewed up to 31 January and 31 July each year. Any changes to the index such as stock replacements are executed on the last trading day of March and September following a four week notice period to the market. This process ensures the index remains relevant and representative of the evolving Metal sector.
Nifty Metal Scrip Selection Criteria
NIFTY Metal index tracks the performance of 15 metal sector stocks listed on National Stock Exchange. To be included in this index a stock must meet certain requirements:

3. Stock must belong to the metals sector.
4. Stock should have traded at least 90% of the trading days over the past six months.
5. It should have been listed for at least six months, although new IPOs can be included after just three months if they meet the other criteria.
6. Stocks ideally should be traded in the NSE’s Futures & Options (F&O) segment.
7. There are limits on how much influence any single stock or the top three stocks can have on the index. No single stock can exceed 33% of the index weight and the top three stocks together can’t exceed 62% when the index is rebalanced.
