NSE Indices, the index services arm of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), has expanded its suite of sectoral indices by launching 11 new benchmarks. The newly introduced indices include Nifty Power, Nifty Capital Goods, Nifty Telecommunications, Nifty Construction, Nifty Consumer Services, Nifty Commercial & Transport Services, Nifty Retail, Nifty Hospitals, Nifty NBFC, Nifty Housing Finance, and Nifty Insurance.
With these additions, the total number of sectoral indices under the Nifty umbrella has grown to 34, providing a more comprehensive and granular representation of various segments of the Indian economy. NSE Indices stated that the expanded suite is designed to enhance sectoral coverage across both established and emerging industries.
The exchange anticipates that these new benchmarks will serve as reference indices for asset managers and passive investment products, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), index funds, and structured products. This development aligns with the growing traction of passive investing in India, evidenced by the rapid growth in assets managed through ETFs and index funds in recent years. Sector-specific indices also facilitate the creation of thematic investment products tied to particular industries.
