What is Sensex?
What is Nifty ?
Difference between these two

Answer Posted / p. k...(prakash)

Sensex is smaller than nifty.
Sensex is contain 30 companies or nifty is contain 50 companies.
we calculate our stock market through calculating the both
the graphs.

The Sensex is an indicator of all the major companies of
the BSE. The Nifty is an indicator of all the major
companies of the NSE. If the Sensex goes up, it means that
the prices of the stocks of most of the major companies on
the BSE have gone up. If the Sensex goes down, this tells
you that the stock price of most of the major stocks on the
BSE have gone down.
Just like the Sensex represents the top stocks of the BSE,
the Nifty represents the top stocks of the NSE. Just in
case you are confused, the BSE, is the Bombay Stock
Exchange and the NSE is the National Stock Exchange. The
BSE is situated at Bombay and the NSE is situated at Delhi.
These are the major stock exchanges in the country. There
are other stock exchanges like the Calcutta Stock Exchange
etc. but they are not as popular as the BSE and the NSE.
Most of the stock trading in the country is done though the
BSE & the NSE. Besides Sensex and the Nifty there are many
other indexes. There is an index that gives you an idea
about whether the mid-cap stocks go up and down. This is
called the “BSE Mid-cap Index”. There are many other types
of indexes.
Indexes are indicators of the market which gives you a
General idea about whether most of the stocks have gone up
Or down. There are two types of INDEXES:
1) SENSEX: SENSITIVITY INDEX Sensex is nothing but index of
BSE.
It has got 30 listed companies. On the other hand,
2) NIFTY: NATIONAL FIFTY and it is nothing but the index of
NSE.
It has got 50 listed companies
