Calculation Methodology : |
SENSEX is calculated using the 'Free-float Market Capitalization' methodology. As per this methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the Free-float market value of 30 component stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. This market capitalization is further multiplied by the free-float factor to determine the free-float market capitalization. |

like u must have seen in the last link that on 01-01-1986 the index value taken as a base was 100( which is ususlly the value of most bases). now the total of prices of 30 shares in the index on that date was not 100. therefore index is not the total of current market price of shares constituing the index
