    NSE Launches Nifty Cement Index; Top Constituents and Weightages Announced

    In a recent development, NSE’s index services subsidiary, NSE Indices Limited, introduced a new sectoral index—the Nifty Cement Index—on February 16, 2026. This index is designed to track the performance of stocks in the ‘Cement & Cement Products’ industry from the Nifty Total Market. It comprises the top 20 stocks selected based on the six-month average free float market capitalisation from the eligible companies in this sector.

    The selection process begins with stocks available for trading in the derivatives segment on the NSE, followed by non-F&O stocks, if necessary, to complete the index. The weight of each stock in the index is determined by its free float market capitalisation, with a weight cap of 15% for each constituent. The index has a base date of April 01, 2005, with a base value of 1000. It will be reconstituted semi-annually and rebalanced quarterly.

    The Nifty Cement Index is expected to serve as a benchmark for asset managers and become a reference index for passive funds, including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), index funds, and structured products.
