The indices are indicators that reflect the performance of a certain segment of the market or the market as a whole.
A stock market index is created by selecting certain stocks of similar companies or those that meet a set of predetermined criteria. These shares are already listed and traded on the exchange.
Each share market index measures the price movement and the performance of the shares that constitute that index. This essentially means that the performance of any stock market index is directly proportional to the performance of the underlying stocks that make up the index.
In simpler terms, if the prices of the stocks in an index goes up, that index, as a whole, also goes up.
Under Nifty structure there are 17 broad market indices
