Index Composition and Rebalancing

As per the release by NSE India and the National Stock Exchange of India, the new Nifty Next 100 index measures the performance of a portfolio of 100 stocks, comprising 50 stocks from Nifty Next 50 and 50 top components from Nifty Midcap 150. These 50 midcap stocks are selected based on their 6-month average free-float market capitalization.

The index is free-float market capitalization weighted. Its base date is October 1, 2010, and the base value is 1000. The index is reconstituted semi-annually in March and September each year.

Potential Use for Passive Investment Products

This new index is expected to serve as a benchmark for asset managers. Additionally, it can be used as a reference index tracked by passive investment instruments such as exchange-traded funds, index funds, and structured products.

This launch adds a product to NSE's index portfolio that focuses on providing investors with broad market exposure between the large-cap and mid-cap segments. This may offer additional options to fund houses looking to develop products based on listed, rules-based, and diversified equity strategies.

Our previous report detailed the rebalancing and changes in some G-Sec and debt sub-indices of NSE Indices' Nifty Fixed Income indices effective from July 31, 2026, including the inclusion/exclusion of major government securities and steps such as the reduction in the weight of Nifty 3 Month CD Index-A in the Nifty Ultra Short Duration Debt Index A-I, which may impact investors tracking the benchmark and the structure of passive debt products.
