23 April 2012 Hello Sidharth,

Sensex is basically a weighted average of prices of 30 stocks. Similar to say a calculation of average of marks in exams with some papers having higher weightage and some having lower. In case of Sensex, weight assigned to individual stock is the free-float market capitalization.

You can read in details the calculation and methodology at following link-
