What this is: each index's closing value against its last close of 2025. An index is weighted by company value, so the biggest members move it most. What it is not: dividends are not counted, and it says nothing about what comes next.
How it is measured
Each bar compares an index's closing value on 8 Oct 2026 with its last close of 2025 (31 Dec 2025). The six indices, from the biggest companies to the smallest: the Sensex (30 large companies), the Nifty 50, the Nifty 100 (the 100 biggest), the Nifty 500 (the 500 biggest), the Nifty Midcap 100 (100 mid-sized companies) and the Nifty Smallcap 100 (100 smaller companies). An index is weighted by the value of each company, so its biggest members move it the most; the Nifty 500 includes the companies in the first three.
The 8 Oct 2026 values come from the market's daily closing figures, used because they matched the official closing values exactly on 7 Oct 2026, the latest day both were available for all six. "₹100 → ₹X" is what ₹100 at the start of the year would be worth at the index's value now. Index values only: dividends are not counted. It reports what happened this year and says nothing about what comes next.
