Indian Stock Exchanges Launch Ethical Investment Indices Based on Indigenous Values
Indian stock exchanges have introduced new ethical investment indices reflecting indigenous values. The NSE launched the Nifty 500 Ahimsa Index on July 11, excluding companies involved in activities contrary to non-violence principles, while the BSE introduced the Saatvik 100 Index earlier in June. These indices offer investors a rules-based approach to align portfolios with ethical and cultural values, marking a unique development in emerging markets. The Ahimsa Index is diversified and suitable for passive investment, emphasizing values alongside financial considerations.
