Stock market indices are weighted averages of stocks’ prices, based on factors like market capitalization, liquidity, and trading volume. The Sensex uses the free-float market capitalization-weighted methodology, assigning weight to each stock based on its free-float market capitalization. The Nifty 50 uses the float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted methodology, assigning weight to each stock based on its float-adjusted market capitalization, adjusted for its free-float factor, which represents the proportion of shares available for trading.

The values of a collection of equities are weighted to create stock market indices. Each stock’s weight in the index is determined by a number of variables, including market capitalisation, liquidity, and trading volume.
The free-float market capitalization-weighted formula is used to determine the Sensex. This indicates that the weight given to each stock in the index is determined by its free-float market capitalization, which is the sum of the market values of the outstanding shares of a firm that are accessible for trading on the open market.
The float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted approach is used to determine the Nifty 50. As a result, each stock’s weight in the index is determined by its float-adjusted market capitalization, or overall market value of a stock.
