02 February 2009 Hi all,

I ave read in a article that Sensex is being calculated based on particular companies (30 companies i think).

Could you please tell me what are those companies?

Why sensex is being calculated only based on these companies?

Thanks.

12 February 2009 Hello,

You are Righ !! The sensex comprises of 30 companies.

There are various parameters for selection of company to include in Sensex or say any Index. Generally, the companies from various dispersed industries are considered for inclusion in Index. Further, the leaders in that particular industry are considered for inclusion in Sensex.

I hope this answers your query.
